Schadenfreude

Watch out! Here comes the most emo theme of them all! It’s a total ripoff of Scribbish. I like it better. Maybe you will to.

Lame Link I made to the asset :P

I wish I knew how to do this the hot asset way…damn.

Or get the latest subversion and build with build.sh:

svn co http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/rails/mephisto/themes/wibbish-mephisto/

Notes:

• The Syntax Highlighting is probably screwed up since I inversed the background color.
• Added OpenID template. It’s turned off in the layout by default, but all you have to do is uncomment it and edit _openid.liquid with your information to make it work.

Please post any corrections to the css here. I will merge them ASAP.

So, it turns out that when I changed my theme to a ‘harvest gold’ background, I got a lot of flak about it:

20:43:29 <+plaidrules> hardwarehank: wow dude, your blog css is hideous

It led me to embrace the night with this new emoesque theme. I hope you like it. I’m going to have to start looking the part in real life, as well as posting pictures of myself with swoopy to the left-like hair dyed black, and some awesome eyeshadow of doom. Something like this should do:

Oh ya. Thats gonna be me. You just wait.

Oh, and the offending color for all the see:

Also, this awesome theme is called Wibbish, and you can get it like this for all I care:

svn co https://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/rails/typo/wibbish

Time to go put on makeup.

For all you Rails freaks out there, I modded the default Ubuntu Dapper GDM theme to match the Ruby/Rails leetness. Check it out with SVN:

# Get
sudo svn co http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/env/Rails \
/usr/share/gdm/themes/Rails

# Run!
sudo gdmsetup

Pretty cool, eh? Screenshots soon.

Update (1/2/07): Added welcome message support.

Well, I finally took the plunge I’ve been thinking about takeing for over ten years now – I bought stock. Now I just have to wait for the holiday season to kick it up to where I can sell it, and I’ll be set.

Well, I finally got this damn blog working thanks to bish0p. Turns out that you have to change the shebang line from

 #!/usr/bin/env ruby

to

 #!/usr/local/bin/ruby

Ahh typo is nice. Other crap I learned today:

Problems with typo themes generating application errors can be solved by changing this line in layouts/default.rhtml

<%= render_component(:controller => 'sidebars/sidebar', :action => 'display_plugins') %>

To this:

<%= render_sidebar %>

Thanks to This dude.

I generated a new GPG keypair today (Public Key). Get it like this:

 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 46C171A0

I also integrated into Pine, which makes it simple to send signed/encrypted email.

I’m still struggling with Ruby/SVN bindings by kou. They are completely undocumented, so I have been trying to analyze the tests that are included in the svn source. Apparently, Collaboa is using them in their rails app. I will have to take a look at their code, and hopefully it will shed some light on the subject.

I upgraded phpGedView today, so it’s a secured. Home directory cleaning ensued, and now my mod0 space is much more efficiently used.

I jumped back into the old Afternet #trivia chan tonight, after about 10 minutes of trying to remember what network it was on. I had some trouble with BitchX autoignoring the triviabot, so I googled a fix for it:

# To Add someone:
/addnoflood nickname
# To list:
/addnoflood

Yay – now I can use the bot in peace. I better dump the commands so if I ever go back I don’t have to flood the chan trying to remember everything:

To play, just watch for Weirdbot to ask questions, and type in the answer.

I started trading for real today. It’s a big step, and from now on my taxes will be harder to do.
