I haven't tried Dominos, because AutoBar pretty much fills the need. I'll give try it a try.

And I'd also suggest Dominos, for bars. It'll allow you to add a whole bunch of extra bars and will also let you keybind pretty much anything. Hmmm, I have swapped grid out for xPerl.

Isn't it an interesting idea? And it make a lot more sense than randomly increasing the number of souls. huh, I had this same though about 2 months ago. Isn’t it an interesting idea?

]]> Comment on Kindle on the iPhone by dongar http://don.garrett.name/wordpress/?p=195&cpage=1#comment-10 dongar Mon, 09 Mar 2009 03:31:08 +0000 http://don.garrett.name/wordpress/?p=195#comment-10 I've been reading eBooks on my phones on/off for years now, and I'm starting to like them better than real books. They're always with me, they remember my placemark for me, and don't add to piles already overflowing my bookshelves. However, they're impossible to loan out, and there is always the fear that the format I have an eBook it will become obsolete or not be available on whatever devices I want to use in the future. As usual, DRM is the problem. fictionwise.com does let you re-download books in different formats, which let me move books from my Palm to iPhone. I'm debating getting a Kindle to go with my iPhone. I probably will, but I'd be a lot more comfortable without the DRM. I’ve been reading eBooks on my phones on/off for years now, and I’m starting to like them better than real books.

Postfix (the internal mail handling system) was missing it's main directory, an so hosed. It would slowly consume internal resources until my machine starting having weird problems, and was then unable to launch any application. A restart would fix things.... for a few days. The solution is (from a console): sudo mkdir /var/spool/postfix sudo postfix stop sudo postfix start I found the fix here: http://www.pajbam.com/?p=150 I eventually ran into another snag.

I hate locks that are stiff like that. I always have terrible visions of the key breaking off in the lock, and then not only am I unable to open that lock, but I'm now short a key for any other locks.
