Afternoon Sun

Looking outside our bedroom window, and thought that the sky looked fantastic. With these early autumn nights and the leaves all gone, the clouds and lighting are just perfect.

Note: Do not do this as root, or prefix the command with “sudo”.

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

And now network devices will show up as Time Machine drives.

Click-to-Flash

I use it on Safari and Firefox. It's really worth it. Faster web page loads and no stupid ads. Especially the ones with audio.

WTF iPhone Battery

Well. All of a sudden two nights ago, my iPhone didn't charge over night. It was at 67% in the morning (ITM). Charged it in the car while listening to No Agenda. Get to work, it's at 70%. And hot. 30 minutes later, it's at 45%. I have not even used it. Plugged it into my laptop. Didn't charge, but didn't discharge either. Just before leaving the office, packed up, but then stayed for half an hour. It was dead. D-E-A-D, dead.

Plugged it in in the car, only got to 11% by the timer I got home. Charged all evening to 40%. Charged over night. 86% ITM.

Charged some more using battery doctor. Made it to 100%. Down to 95% after 5 minutes.

Turned off push on email when it was at 90%, One hour later, 86%.

That was fsck'd up.

Water Taxi Driver

I want to be a Water Taxi Driver.

In Venice.

It's been a year and I miss it so.

Adding Fonts to Linux

Installing TTF fonts in CentOS/RedHat

Installing TTF fonts is very easy. As always with system files, you will need root access.
To install, follow these simple commands;

Check if directory /usr/share/fonts/TTF exists, if it does not exist, create it.

# mkdir /usr/share/fonts/TTF

Copy any *.TTF file font you want to install to /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ directory then run the command:

# /sbin/service xfs reload

Thats all!

Eye Surgery

Ceri went for her Lasik surgery today. You would think that something with lasers would be exciting. Not so much. There were cookies on plates, and free tea and coffee. Thats where the fun ended. I wished that they would at least had a red light on the wall when the laser was on, and maybe had the lights flicker in the waiting room. That would have been cool.

Or even friggen sharks with laser beams on their heads. In a tank.

Someone passed out, that was neat.

Ceri is doing just fine. right now.
