Install Sendmail
Looks like I’ll have to update my Install-Sendmail script again. I was sent a Polish translation last week, but the script fails in Red Hat 9 because the hash command requires different parameters now.
Grandma beats up Airport Security Guards
Hehe. According to this story, an 83 year old woman beat up airport security guards when they tried to search her!
Witnesses said she was cackling, “Put your hands on an old lady, will you?” as she bashed both guards. The tape also showed a fourth guard attempting to grab Gordon’s wheelchair. Gordon removed a knitting needle from her purse and stabbed him in his left buttock. “What a wimp,” she told reporters. “He started screaming and grabbing his butt and running like a puppy that someone kicked.”
b2-Smarty installation
If you’re having trouble installing b2-smarty then take a look at this post. There’s 2 problems that might cause you trouble:
- Enable register_globals in your php.ini
- Make sure you copy the files in properly.
I’m dumbfounded to read that people prefer to edit code and HTML mixed in together. There’s just so many advantages to seperating the code and content out! I’m not going to go on about it, as others have explained all this better than I can.

www.waitallday.com – very impressive site! They’ve packed so much in, but be prepared to wait a bit while it loads! (Thanks Diamond for that one!)
The dullest blog in the world
Yes, despite the name The dullest blog in the world is interesting, if only to admire the mundane world we all live in.
I noticed that there were a few things lying around here and there. I decided to leave them where they were.

Welcome To Windows!
Ouch! This cartoon made me cringe!
Red Hat 9 and software modems
Bah! I installed RH 9 at home and now I can’t get my software modem working! The hcfpci driver refuses to compile giving some obscure GCC error about parameters! So, I’m typing this in an internet cafe, otherwise I’d provide links and debug messages for you to digest. Hopefully updated drivers will be forthcoming. In the meantime I’ll have to pry the rpm open and hack the source to get it to compile..
So, if I promised to look at b2 bugs for you this weekend, it probably won’t happen, sorry! I’ll be back on Monday!
p3nfs – File transfer for Symbian / LINUX
This package looks like the nfs for Symbian code I stumbled across a few weeks ago.
The docs look simple enough. Run an app on your phone, run a server on your PC, although it doesn’t explain how to mount your phone on the PC filesystem. I’ll have a look at that over the weekend.
Bluetooth file transfer to Nokia 7650 under Linux
It’s near impossible as far as I can tell! Well, not easily done anyway!
Here’s how I managed to get bluetooth working somewhat in Red Hat 9.
- I installed the bluez-utils and bluez-libs rpms using apt-get.
- I followed Tom’s advice in his lengthy article. I didn’t have to recompile the kernel however as it contained the rfcomm module already.
- I was able to connect the phone to the PC through /dev/rfcomm0 by using
rfcomm connect 0 <my phone code>. I tried to use that device to create a ppp link by doing/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/rfcomm0 10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2but pppd returned immediately, and Syslog reported: “pppd[31912]: Serial line is looped back.”
Bah! I’m going home!
