I was hoping that someone may know about this.

I geek out on command lines. *nix style in particular and find them to be quite useful. However I fall out of practise and hate banging my head on something I already know just have grown rusty on. At the time being I only have one computer which I can't set up to dual boot.

Running Windows XP.


I'm hoping there's something out there that will include all the GNU tools and *nix style commands (grep, ls...) that can be thrown over the shell in XP? Also something that may at least display and allow navigation of the file structure similar to BSD style.

Thanks!

wow this is amazing!

People keep giving me ideas like this, don't they know better? Guess not! Silly humans.

More great geeky links coming later.

ok, I've been looking at various things over the past few days and in the chemical structure of various medications, supplements, usw. all seem to have some things in common. There seems to be a pattern of C_nH_nNO_n. Where n are various combinations and at times there are other elements, usually only one or two, included. Another observation is that the Nitrogen atom is usually singular.

So what is it about this particular configuration that makes it so common? What is it about this configuration that makes it so important in biology? Does this make medicine/minerals/vitamins, usw. easier to cross the blood/brain barrier? One of the bands I listen to is named C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, which is the chemical formula for Morphine isolated, which again leads me to wonder is it a matter of blood/brain barrier? What makes this chain so prevalent and important/how does it work in biochemistry?

ok, I need a distraction. Enough backstory.

I'm a vegetarian of 2 years now, for dietary reasons. The main weaknesses on the few meat-lapses I've had has been Bratwurst, something I loved before and still do, although my stomach cringes at the idea now despite my taste buds. So having been a veg* for so long I was hoping for suggestions on how to fix Chicken Bratwurst, which sounds a bit incorrect but much healthier than normal.

Suggestions on cooking time/method (would beer still be employed in the cooking of them? any seasoning suggestions?).

Also any suggestions for what would go well with such a centred meal (wine, other foods that would go well, usw.).

Thanks! I picked up a pack with a friend at a Wild Oats and want to cook for my friend as said friend has never had bratwurst of any kind.

Vielen dank!

ok, still banging my head against this one. Here's some more information. Output from PHP/MySQL on attempted insert: Error in query: INSERT INTO regTable (area) VALUES ('West_Coast'). Unknown column 'area' in 'field list' However, when I run that query on its own in the CLI or phpMyAdmin it works fine. It can be any valid column in that table and it still creates the same error. Here's the PHP/MySQL code, maybe the issue is with how I'm using the $_REQUEST array or concatenating the string for the query. In addition and just to eliminate possibilities I tried copying the output query from the script and putting it in as a static query in the same script and it works fine that way as well. Still at a loss. $query = "INSERT INTO regTable (area) VALUES ('".$_REQUEST['area']."')"; // $query = "INSERT INTO regTable (area) VALUES ('West_Coast')"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

I've already scoured google in relation to this issue and so far have found many solutions, none of which seems to work.

PHP 4
MySQL 4.1.20

The script I'm working on at the moment returns a MySQL error : Unknown column 'column_name' in 'field list' Where column_name can be any valid column for the table. I've changed the order and the query insert style several times, restarted the MySQL server, and various other rain dances, all with the same results.

Here's a brief overview of the query that the script generates, it works fine when run directly in MySQL so I'm guessing there's something funny going on with the PHP/MySQL interface.

Any ideas anyone? I generally try and hammer these things out on my own but this one's just too busy givnig me a migraine after working on it for so long. Still with no idea how to start on it.

Hah! I just, after being very annoyed with it for two minutes, discovered a way to get rid of that STUPID lj feature they just added (or is it a bug?) called snapshots. (snapshits? that was the original typo and I think quite well fits.) If you mouse over it and get the snapshot thing to pop up you can then go to the -menu- on it in the top right, there's an options section, forget the exact name of it. There you can TURN IT OFF! Apparently for -This Page- or -All Pages-. Since I didn't want to take the chance of that coming back like a bad case of strep I clicked both to be completely vaccinated.

So far so good! If that feature bugs you too do the same and write to lj, that's what I plan on doing. Tell them to STOP TRYING TO BE SHITTY LIKE M*SPACE!

Happy birthday Google!!! It seems like only yesterday we were still stuck in a world of only using Yahoo, Hotbot, Alta-Vista (gotta love the audio search), Lycos, and so many others that wanted to be meta-search engines. But you came along.

The interesting thing is I actually use google.de about as much as I use google.com these days.

Seriously though, I love google, they are up there with Apple as one of the few companies I actually DO like despite my hatred of capitalism and consumerism.

So yes, Google turns 9 today for those wondering.

The ,Career Building' meme-thing.

Most of these things I've actually done, thought about doing, or have some training in. Others I'm already doing (musician, writer, usw.) not that some of those pay that well....

I'd actually love to be a museum curator!

I'm not a big combichrist fan so there's a song I heard at a club that I caught my attention but I didn't know who it was until I was working as a tech at one of the combichrist shows around here and heard them play it live. All that I can pick up from the lyrics that I remember are We only came to dance but hitting google it doesn't seem to be the name of any of their songs or listed in any of their lyrics, at least none that google has spidered. I was wondering what song title it's under and on which combichrist release? Also is it an original song or a cover?

I'm working on a G-4 running OS X (10.3.9 if I remember correctly) and trying to set up a few things. A Jabber/XMPP Server for one and a mail server for another. However I've noticed that all the binaries for PowerPC OS X XMPP servers I can find error out at some point on install and for some reason it doesn't seem to have "make" or any of the other GNU/Linux/*nix command line functions I'm used to when dealing with the source installs.

So my main questions are:
1) How does one go about installing "make" and all the libraries it needs to successfully run in OS X? Is it any different for 10.3.9?

2) Does anyone know of any tutorials on doing the above or any quirks I may run into?

3) Does anyone know where I can find possibly the binaries for an install of a mail server or Jabber/XMPP server for OS X?

Thanks, and apologies for some cross posting, having a hard time finding resources on this on google or in "the missing manual" and still pretty new to the deeper parts of os x.

ok, two things : Elder Futhark, 24 not 30 (none had 30 exactly)
and no, runic practices and usage did not ,die out 800 years ago', they may have gone underground, been taught down family lines, hidden in christian and other symbolism, but no, never ,died out'

does anyone know of any freeware or gpl standalone applications to organise a personal library and book collection? All the search phrases I can think of to hit google and anywhere else with return everything but anything related to that, and the few I can find seem to be unmaintained since 2004 and only partially on the servers (corrupt downloads, files missing, etc). I could write something in php/mysql but I need something that's stand alone as not all the computers I'm going to run this on are going to have apache/php/mysql installed on them. At the moment I'm running windows xp, so unfortunately needs to be able to run on that as well.
Thanks! I'm sure there's something out there!

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED: CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY TO ASK THEM TO CO-SPONSOR AND BRING TO THE FLOOR FOR AN IMMEDIATE VOTE THE INTERNET RADIO EQUALITY ACT, S. 1353 IN THE SENATE AND H.R. 2060 IN THE HOUSE!

http://www.savenetradio.org/ has a big link button that will take you to a page where you can enter your zip code and then be given phone numbers for your state representatives. Please call today!

Time and options are running out for Internet Radio. The emergency stay sought on behalf of webcasters, millions of listeners and the artists and music they support has been denied.

UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS BY JULY 15th (that's Sunday folks), the new ruinous royalty rates will go into effect on Sunday, threatening the future of all Internet radio.

This situation is grave, but that makes the message all the simpler and more serious.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES RIGHT AWAY and urge them to support the Internet Equality Act. If they already co-sponsor, thank them and ask them to fight to bring it to the floor for an immediate vote.

Both of these songs are great and were featured in the last two episodes of this season of Dr. Who =)

OK, so not sure if I'm out of the loop, or too busy reading about Loop Quantum Gravity to be in 'the loop', but I was wondering about the music in the last two episodes of Season 29 (or 3 if you prefer). Who were the bands that did the songs in the two? The "Here come the drums" song and the one that was being sung by you know who to you know who if you've seen it (no accidental spoilers). Both were interesting and maybe I wouldn't have liked the first one if it hadn't had the visuals and I weren't such a Whovian but now I'm hooked. Who? What song titles? Where can I find them? iTunes? eMusic?

Danke!

from news.com.au (no I don't make reading ANY news from Australia a habit, the place scares me) comes the following :

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21994224-2,00.html

Lieutenant Walter Haut, the public relations officer at Roswell Airforce Base in 1947 and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel William Blanchard.

He died last year and left a sealed affidavit to only be opened after his death in which he confirms the theory that it was indeed an extra terrestrial craft which crashed at Roswell and that he had personally seen the bodies recovered from not only the well known crash but a second much larger crash that they were hoping the one in Roswell would help distract from. (Wow, what a run on).

I suggest reading the article even if you aren't interested in that type of thing usually, as he obviously wasn't seeking publicity or fame for himself as it was to be opened upon his death, as well up to his death he denied anything of the such which sounds like he was staying loyal to some oath he had taken or threats he had received.

Interesting times. Spread the news if you find it interesting.

I was wondering if anyone knew of places where I can find averages of hourly UV indexes (hopefully for specific cities or regions) or hourly UV indexes for specific days (similar to these : http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/uv_annual.shtml ) Would be greatly appreciated.

Thought some people may be interested in this. An article RIOTHEAD posted in a bulletin, thank you for posting it, passing it along to others. If anyone is interested in this I highly recommend the following website :
http://www.ifamericaknew.com (will open in a new window)
I'm sure there's going to be someone who is offended by this, if you have something intelligent to say then feel free, if it's just "you're wrong" don't bother. I've held my opinions for years and they aren't going anywhere unless I find personal reason for such.

Fuck 'democracy via bomb' it's time for freedom and to be rid of the totalitarian systems disguising themselves as 'freedom loving and spreading' governments while millions suffer and die. To put it in the words of MC Front-A-Lot:
"Democracy delivered by the bomb and the gun
is terror elsewhere in the world I'm from"

Hope this is not only preaching to the converted but finds its way to the eyes, ears and minds of people who may not be aware of the situation or think about it much.

Here's to TRUE FREEDOM! Freiheit!
