Gentoo Linux Newsletter — October 25, 2004
Experimental support for GPG verification: Not completely implemented yet, but a new FEATURES variable gpg in /etc/make.conf that can be set to different levels of strictness will allow checks of the GPG signatures in newer Manifest files.
Sounding familiar? ;)
Just added Moritz’ blog to my blogroll :) I’m looking forward to trying his gmailfs ebuild for Gentoo as soon as possible :) (Unfortunately, I’ll be very busy for the next two weeks though)
A blog-spam notification e-mail sent by MT-Blacklist conveniently contains a link to de-spam the according comment. Unfortunately, all URLs start with “http://”, meaning that the request (and hence your credentials) are sent as plain-text. To force using HTTPS (encrypted HTTP) for anything related to MT-Blacklist, you can add the following line to your Apache configuration (this is an example, adjust it to match your server layout):
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.6:80> # other redirects here Redirect permanent /cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Blacklist https://news.numlock.ch/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Blacklist </VirtualHost>
and restart Apache (for Apache2 on Gentoo: “/etc/init.d/apache2 restart”)
I’m currently trying to delete old system restore points in order to eventually solve the context menu sluggishness on my Toshiba Portégé M200.
Here’s a nice site summarizing the features of Windows XP system restore:
Addendum: Opened a GMail account a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Moritz for the invite – pretty clever marketing on behalf of Google, BTW :) My add is mettlerd@.
Note: Please do not send any mails to that account yet as first I’ll have to define what I will use it for.. actually, I have an account with much more free space already (read: my private own mail server ;)
[*LOL*. Addendum to the addendum: Forgot to mention – The reason for posting this entry was actually the fact that Moritz made Gentoo ebuilds for GMailFS . Unfortunately, the Gentoo policy regarding libgmail/GMailFS ebuilds is very strict.]
When dict.leo.org is down and linguadict.de is slow, the German <-> English Dictionary by the TU Chemnitz comes as a rescue :)
(Thanks to Jo for the link)
Praise to Andrei Gourianov, the creator of goScreen, the only really usable virtual desktop manager for Windows. He recently managed to send me my license key within a couple of hours.
The not-so-good precursor: On that said day, my trial version of goScreen (or rather, a very central part of it, the desktop maps) stopped working without prior warning (very unusual for shareware) – unfortunately in a very bad moment for me! There was no way to make it temporarily work again (e.g. by prolonging the trial period), so I had to wait for my license to arrive to continue using goScreen. The good outcome: Andrei was very understanding, responsive and co-operative and sent me my key within exceptionally short time. That saved my day and work, Andrei! Thanks again!
Kudos also to Attila who told me about goScreen the first time. I always missed something like this on Windows.
The available Apple PowerBook and iBook models for Neptun have been announced (for a while already, but nonetheless ;):
ETH – Projekt Neptun – Basismodelle Apple Herbst 2004
According to rumours, this might be one of the last times Neptun offers discount notebooks for students.
After Mouse Modding I, there’s Mouse Modding II – The Ultimate Gamer Mouse :) Heavily inspired by Heeszel’s posting on ExtremeTech:
Another point is the MX weighs more than the MS mouse. The MS weighs 3.0 oz, and the MX510 4.3 oz. I opened up the MX mouse and found a small steel weight screwed to the top cover, approximately where the logo is. This weight is exactly .5 ounces. Why would they put a weight in their mouse? I believe this is done to make the mouse appear more “solid” or “quality” to the prospective buyer in the store. It certainly would do nothing for any other purpose, such as balance.
Below is a picture of the weight, which I removed from my mouse to reduce weight. http://home.comcast.net/~heeszel/mx510weight.JPG
With the extra-weight removed, the Logitech MX510 Performance Optical Mouse is The Ultimate Gamer Mouse :) Highly recommended! :)
Disclaimer: You probably void your mouse’s warranty when doing this. You do everything at your own risk – do not blame me if something goes wrong. Unplug the mouse before opening its case.
