When you’re using any other editor don’t press “u” to undo when you have lots of text highlighted. Just because you pressed ESC before doesn’t put you into command mode! Luckily I regained my senses and hit CTRL-Z.
BTW – using Open Office on my Red Hat 8.0 running box at home. It’s excellent!
I posted a small introduction and screenshots to show off some of the enhanced features of this site. Take a look if you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about!
GURU Labs have impressive looking screensavers on their site. You’ll need an Nvidia or ATI chipset to view them though as they require hardware TCL support.
The Guru Labs site is well worth checking out for a wealth of other software packaged for Red Hat 8 and 9.
Apparently Ryan Tubridy mentioned this site between 7am and 7:30am this morning. Unfortunately I only turned the radio on at 7:30 so I missed it. Thanks for the mention Ryan! (I’m psychic, that’s how I know he mentioned me, no really! No, ‘fraid not, thanks John for telling me!)
For as long as I’ve had Red Hat 8.0 installed I’ve had trouble using “man” and other marked up terminal apps. The marked up text appeared as garbage and only by careful examination could one spot the useful information trapped inside! Here’s the answer, courtesy of the Chicago LUNI list. European users may want to try another locale, and Irish users could find “en_IE@euro” most useful!
Ah! The joys of Sendmail cf configuration. How arcane can the following get?
R$+ $@ $>93 $1
That line tells Sendmail to masquerade the headers of an email as another domain. Luckily I just generated another sendmail.cf with my install-sendmail script and did a vimdiff of both files. Comments are helpful too, and takes some of the bite out of the .cf file.
There’s been some trading on my Blogshares blog account. The site valuation has sky-rocketed overnight and should continue to do so as blog link here. Woo! Me’s (virtually) rich!
This is a great list of historical April Fools. I think Ryan Tubridy’s launch of his new book yesterday should make it onto the list somewhere. Yeah, I fell for it too.. doh!
This Text Editor is going into the next release of my b2 mod! I need to contact the author though as there’s no license information in the zip file. This is very similar to the midas editor on mozilla.org but it’s billed as cross-browser. I’m not sure if Midas will work in IE. (Thanks Padraig for the Midas link!) (via locker gnome)
