After purchasing a glorious new Nikon D40X Digital SLR Camera online today, I was inspired to fix up a couple images. So, I was trying to get rid of the obvious flaw in the following picture, and I found a pretty easy way to do it with GIMP.

So, you have your Jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone with 2.0 firmware running OpenSSH, and you have MxTube 1.5 or better, of course. What if you want one of those pesky videos that YouTube deletes all the time, like Paris Hilton For President? Or maybe you want a full movie on your iPod without having to sync to iTunes since you’re stuck in Linux Land. Well, here’s how.

Idea I wanted to put images on my iPod Touch without using iTunes since, as most of us know, there is no good way to use it from Linux. It turns out there is a magic directory on the iPod Touch where it saves images from Safari. I simply looked at how it saved them, [...]

I wanted to speed up package downloading to set up my apt-proxy today in Gutsy, so I decided to find the correct way to find the fastest Ubuntu mirror. It’s actually done like so (stolen from here): Click on “System | Administration | Software Sources” Under “Ubuntu Sotware” tab, choose “Other” in the “Download from” [...]

Ziya is pretty cool, and the documentation is slowly starting to surface. I was annoyed that I couldn’t find a good example paste of how to make a line chart. Then I watched the screencast. It’s the first example he does, so I’m posting it here so those who can’t watch it can actually find [...]

Then install it with sudo apt-get install wxwaste. Run it with waste. Building from source Get it Install some dependencies: # Checkinstall is optional, but it makes [...]

So, last month sometime, BrainSlayer got DD-WRT working on version 8 of the WRT54G. Now this was great news to me when I read it since I’ve been wanting to get rid of the crappy LinkSys management from the beginning. Some of the procedure worked, and some of it didn’t for me. Do not try [...]

So, earlier this year, I decided it would be cool to mirror Wikipedia. So, I successfully set up a local copy on my system, and it’s been just sitting there ever since. But lately, I’ve been interested in fulltext indexing offered by various indexing engines, and Sphinx has looked especially tasty. So, I figured I’d [...]

I got mad at gnome-terminal today. It wasn’t opening links. So, as usual, GNOME hid the setting away somewhere completely insane. .gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http Why isn’t there just a .gnome-terminalrc? How hard would that be?
