Decklin’s excuse for some blogging software. Est. 2006.

xmonad still makes me feel inadequate

I've seen this before, and I'm sure a million people have blogged it, but it never stops being funny: Lambdacats.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I always feel like tar ought to say:

tar: data.tar.gz: inconceivable time stamp 1969-12-31 19:00:00

But it never does.

Tangible User Interface

I logged in this morning and noticed that my XFCE weather applet had disappeared. I moved the pointer over to see what was up, or at least open the menu to add a new one...

A tooltip appeared that said, “fog”.

debuild is over

You know how every once in a while you get some moron trolling for unsecured accounts over SSH and your logs get spammed with “invalid user” for every single username in their dictionary?

I finally figured out what to do about it. They tend to have their own SSH port open. So as soon as anyone tries to log in with an invalid username, I just NAT all further connection attempts back to them. tail -f + a few lines of shell = Ahhhhhhh. Mine is an evil laugh.
