Remembering the shells special variables…

I can never seem to remember what all of these default parameter variables are. I found this small shell script that prints them out when I forget. #!/bin/sh -vx ####################################################### # example_1.1 (c) R.H.Reepe 1996 March 28 Version 1.0 # ####################################################### echo “Script name is [$0]” echo “First Parameter is [$1]” echo “Second Parameter is [...]

Eido Test

So I wrote a EidoGo SGF Viewer plugin for WordPress. It’s not quite ready to go yet but I will release it once I get it done. Below is the highly famous “Blood-Vomiting Game”. Updates to come.

iTunes: Time for Some Trust-Busting

I submitted the following to the iTunes Feedback page. It will probably be ignored, but I figured it was worth a shot. Over the years, the iTunes application has become a very large and all-encompassing media platform. It has become a “jack of all trades, and master of none.” As it has expanded to perform [...]

Magic Keys

Just wanted to save this off finally. Not that having it here will help me if I am locked up but… [ad] If you enabled Magic SysRq (CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y, found in make menuconfig at Kernel hacking -> Magic SysRq key) in your kernel you can cleanly reboot if evil freezes your system with the following keyboard [...]

Save The Internet

Do you buy books online, use Google, or download to an iPod? Everything we do online will be hurt if Congress passes a radical law next week that gives giant corporations more control over what we do and see on the Internet. Internet providers like AT&T are lobbying Congress hard to gut Network Neutrality–the Internet’s [...]

It may be bio-friendly but it’s still stupid!

The Lupo Cardboard PC case is, well…just dumb. Not to mention being: A fire hazard Likely to ruin your computer when you spill your beer on it Likely to ruin your computer when it gets knocked off the desk Cardboard brown is NOT better than the typical beige Because Uncle Jubba says so Really people, [...]

Hello from Flock!

Well I have decided to try this Flock thing out.  Not sure if I like it or not.  I suppose I should reserve judgement since it is only a development preview. One thing I can tell right off the bat that I don’t like is the fact that I can use some of the plugins [...]
