This Week’s 10 Minutes of Hate: Linux Midi

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

Midi- oh, how do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways…
I’ve never liked midi, it’s fabricated, boring, hollow existence bothers me whenever I hear it, yet I am currently at it’s mercy. Linux may be ahead of other operating systems in many respects, but for some reason, midi support seems to have been [...]

Two new Linux users

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

Well, sorta- they’re not new to linux, but they installed Debian on their home machines as part of a 2 month experiment.
Yojimbo is looking for a better job, and I’ve been trying to help him develop some skills that will make it easier. I’ve taught him a little perl in the past and he’s used [...]

Stupid is as Stupid does.

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

I don’t even know where to begin. This morning has sucked and it’s no ones fault but my own. It started with the DMA crap- the one machine where it would really help is the fileserver. I needed to simply change the chipset driver, recompile the kernel, and reboot. This should [...]

26

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

Hrm… I think I’ll try something new this year. As some of you know, 12/31 is my birthday, and I’m 26 now. That makes it twice as good to look back on my life and reflect. So what’s changed? Quite a bit. I always had a goal growing up, that when I was [...]

well, almost. A few years back I had just finished working on a multi-threaded matrix multiplication project for a class, and jumping between that and bash scripting, which I was fairly new to at the time. I asked the following question in the #asp channel when I bounced back to writing ASP:

(morganj): 0 [...]

Wall of Lamers

Friday, October 14th, 2005

I wrote this script a while back, thought I’d share with the gentlemen in #asp. It works great if you’re on a *nix box. It shows who has tried to !search, as well as how many times they tried it.

#!/bin/bash
LOGFILE=”/home/morgajel/.xchat2/xchatlogs/UnderNet-#asp.log”
#the keyword
grep “!search” $LOGFILE | \
# remove the baiters and regulars- they know the score.
grep [...]

Another IRC Porn Loser

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Sometimes I really enjoy IRC a bit too much. you see, I spend a lot of time in the #asp channel, which at one point was a good place to talk about Active Server Pages. ASP is now pretty much dead, and the channel is a plain old (and rather vicious) chat channel.
The [...]
