… of my efforts to run a dual boot Gentoo/WinXP system. The other day I ran across 10 days as a Linux user, the account of a Windows user’s self-imposed Linux odyssey. And it makes fairly interesting reading. As you know I’ve been a Linux user for hmm, over 10…
Mrs. Elbeno and I took the car down to the local place for a minor service yesterday. We spent a pleasant Saturday morning wandering around the cafes and shops downtown. It was too early to see a movie, so we stopped in at a coffee shop and had a cup…
Doxygen and C++: <i>not</i> a marriage made in heaven
I briefly interrupt your scheduled browsing… Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C#, and D. So it says on the website, and so it is. It’s also a Good Thing, most people would assume. Doxygen…
I have found
The most obscurely English page on the entire Internet. Molesworth meets Mornington Crescent. Coo ur gosh.
Sonic BOOM!
Couple of mornings ago, I was woken up at around 5.10am by two loud bangs that shook the house. “What was that?” I think… I figure it was a brief earthquake jolt of the kind that are common here, and went back to sleep. Today I realised what it really…
DLL Hell
Gaim & Eclipse don’t play nicely together! At least not where Cygwin is concerned. The problem is the tcl dll you see. Eclipse (actually CDT) requires Cygwin in the path to be able to run gdb. gdb requires that I install Cygwin’s tcl. As soon as that happens, Cygwin’s tcl…
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I finished reading it on Friday, and I liked it, but I was a little disappointed. Formulaic Empire-Strikes-Back plot to tee up book seven: the plot is winding up, and it shows. J.K. is also quite clearly playing to the movies, which is not necessarily a bad thing: I can…
More about bread…
Sorry Jen, the title lied: I can’t think of anything else about bread right now. Except that I wish I had some “bread of the gods” (as Mrs Elbeno and I know it – Sainsbury’s unsliced granary loaf to the rest of the world) in the cupboard. If so, I…
Comic-Con
Just come back from Comic-Con in San Diego. Saturday we spent most of our time wandering the convention hall and looking at various booths. Mrs. Elbeno picked up volume 1 of Amazing Agent Luna (signed by the artist), and we both got J-List t-shirts. She got a blue Totoro shirt…
Book sale!
Remembered the book sale today at our local library. Spent $23 and came back with a box full of books. Actually, I limited myself pretty well, but Mrs Elbeno went for the paperbacks in a big way. We like book sales.
