So set the systemwide python to be python2.4.
This is a note to self when everything else breaks from using the old version.
cd /usr/bin
sudo rm python
sudo ln -s python2.4 ./python
EDIT: That fraked all sorts of things. Looks like hellanzb from the cli for now.
A flickr plugin. This is me in Sydney 2000. I just really like the shot. Skinny happy and tanned wearing a ‘wifebeater‘ on the madman. Happy days.
So new house only has phone line in the kitchen. Solution: WDS using Tomato of course.
So now I have one wrt54g connecting to the net in PPPOE Bridge mode with a billion modem (meh, average modems).
And one wrt54g in my office that acts as an extension of the main one. So plug that into a switch and all the computers here in the office can connect via ethernet.
One more for the lounge and the movie/music server and I’m sorted.

The important bit is ‘force user’ and ‘force group’ otherwise your local user won’t have permissions to the shared directory.
sudo apt-get install samba
/etc/samba/smb.conf
Changes:
security = share
guest account = nobody
[stuff]
writeable = yes
path = /stuff
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
force user = gyaresu
force group = users
browsable = yes
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
Ever sent mail from the wrong email address because you forgot to select the correct identity in the compose window?…
So I tried the 8800GT 512MB to see whether crysis would run ‘aight. No go.
Anyway, while messing around with the card under linux I upgraded the nvidia drivers to the latest from the nvidia site (ubuntu doesn’t have them in the repos yet).
My stupid second monitor couldn’t have its stats detected (edid).
So off I go AGAIN fsck’ing around with xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files to figure out what’s changed THIS driver release.
Anyway: The Error
root@sdf:~/x11# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old |grep -i edid
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device DFP-1
(–) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (90, 88); computed from “UseEdidDpi” X config
The Fix (get the edid.bin from the one working monitor under nvidia-settings, look in the GPU settings. You can save it from there.)
Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen0″
Device “Videocard0″
Monitor “Monitor0″
DefaultDepth 24
Option “TwinView” “1″
Option “CustomEDID” “DFP-1:/home/gyaresu/edid.bin”
Option “RenderAccel” “true”
Option “metamodes” “DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; DFP-0: 1680×1050 +0+0, DFP-1: NULL”
EndSection
The result:
root@sdf:~/x11# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -i edid
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option “CustomEDID” “DFP-1:/home/gyaresu/edid.bin”
(–) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (90, 88); computed from “UseEdidDpi” X config
meh.

Stan forgot (or doesn’t live there any more) to re-register bittah.com
So I created http://bittah.com.au and am hosting it with these instructions to find the temp bittah site:
It’s over there >> http://bittah.securehost3.com/
To any bittards who have googled this page and want to be able to get around this hopefully temporary “setback”, here’s how you can get posting working for you again:
Edit your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the line:
202.0.155.142 bittah.com www.bittah.com
202.0.155.69 irc.bittah.com
Linux folk… well, you know what to do…
update: 2007-12-21 Not much happening. domainsbyproxy.com (GoDaddy) could hold onto the domain indefinitely. So bittah.com could be stuck in limbo land.
Looks like that .au domain is gonna come in handy. I’ll look at redirecting it when I hear more from gweebs.
Note to self: Remeber to change the /etc/ddclient.conf file on host ’slave’ when you update the password for zoneedit.com.
Because sometimes you just want a pretty front end to convert that flac format album you bought off Bleep.com to mp3.
Browser.tabs.tabMinWidth is the Firefox configuration value that determines the tab width. Here is how to disable tab scrolling:
1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar.
2. Find the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth key. The default value is 100.
3. To disable tab scrolling completely, double click on it, set the value to 0. To make more tabs fit before scrolling gets activated, set that number to 75.

This has been rattling around in my brain ever since I read/saw the combo years ago.
Now it’s my new business motto.
The freaking /boot/grub/menu.lst item below defines where the grub root is. Don’t be fooled by the cunning hash, that isn’t a comment…

“This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omlette and no frying! Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omlette will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omlette for a quick breakfast!!!
I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese and mushrooms in this one! MMMMMMMM . . .MMMMMMM good!!!”
