linux section updates

March 08, 2001 by Eric Richardson

I just put up a new screenshot in the Linux section. I don't have anything really cool to do a screenshot of, but I was writing some scripts to automate the process so I figured I might as well do one. I also added thumbnail images of the shots to that page. It's more for look than anything.

mostly back

So I fixed my little libstdc++ debacle today. Now I'm back in Mozilla.

Part of my reason for upgrading libstdc++ was to install a new copy of AlephOne (the open source version of Marathon). It still amazes me that there's active development of Marathon and its scenarios. Yesterday I got the Marathon 2 data files working with Aleph One (I bought an M2 cd a while ago when I found it for $5). Fun stuff. I love this game.

futurama

(still posting from w3m...) Tonight's Futurama was hilarious, mostly because of the fact that it involved a lot of penguins. It's hard not to be funny when penguins are involved. I don't usually watch this show, but if they're all as good as tonight's was, I might have to start.

more brokenness

March 04, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So now I've managed to end up with not only a broken httpd, but also broken browsers (both Netscape and Mozilla thanks to a little libstdc++ upgrade). So now I'm sitting here with a big transparent Eterm running w3m. I'm typing this post in vim, which is cool, but I really would prefer to get my nice little graphical browser back. Click for a little info about w3m...

i broke httpd

March 04, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So the other day I decided I really needed mod_rewrite compiled into Apache on my machine. No problem... Just grab a new copy of the current Apache source, compile, install, and... nothing. No errors, no httpd. Nothing.

How am I supposed to debug that?
