For myself later, svnX, a subversion frontend for OS/X, thanks Dana. Anyone else know of any Mac Subversion frontends?

Argh…. I’m still fighting with trying to get User Mode Linux going. I think I must have rebuilt my kernel about a dozen times trying different options to get it going, but only a small amount of success. I now can build the kernel (yay) but it backgrounds itself (forking?) immediately on starting and then

Got home today to find a call from an automated voice asking me to call Shaw as soon as possible to “avoid service interruptions”. Yay. Last time this happened it was to tell me that I was about to be cut off and only begging and pleading kept me online. So I checked my bandwidth

I have to disagree…. kinda, with what Havoc says: Filesystems are not the answer, what we need is a document store. None of the open source desktop projects will ever depend on ReiserFS or similar features. Because these projects have to be able to work with NFS, GFS, AFS, and across multiple UNIX flavors.

Finally got sick and tired of getting “oversized record” messages from Webalizer each morning from it trying to process Apache logs with lines 3000+ charachers long, mostly consisting of “\x0\x0” characters…. obviously automated zombies trying to exploit IIS vulnerabilities.

Does anyone know if there’s some sort of built in limitation to the Windows SMB implementation that causes it not to display large directories? I have a share on my Samba 3.0.4 server which has 542 directories in it. They all have the same permissions on the fileserver, and all directories display when mounted on

…. this time on Firefly’s Granny’s computer. Another 9 critical updates to install. Another round with hijcackthis.exe and AVG and ad-aware. Another reboot and install dance. Yay. I’m going to enable the firewall this time, and would love to run with least privilage as Dana has suggested, though not even Microsoft does this. However, I

There’s too much info in this photography thing, I’m right now in the process of setting up a photography wiki for myself so I can quickly add new information and links without having to clog up this source of cough information with random photo links and other info I really just want to have around
