August 14, 2015. 22 contradictions that show we can’t be trusted to make good decisions for our cities. Toll roads are unfair, but transit should pay for itself. There has been no investment in my neighborhood for years, but gentrification is evil. Housing is getting so expensive here; therefore, let’s not build any more. Traffic is terrible, so I bought a house that requires me to own a car. Developers are the scum of the earth; apparently, my house wasn’t built by one of them. This new freeway intercha...

Brian's lovable online gazette: August 2008

Brian's lovable online gazette. Thursday, August 21, 2008. Nethack on the iPhone. Within the last few weeks several SSH clients have popped up on the App Store. From the looks of things, none of them are really great yet and none of them are free. Regardless, yesterday I finally broke down and purchased one: TouchTerm. For $2.99. Anyway, here is a screenshot of me SSHed into my laptop (from an unjailbroken iphone), playing nethack inside of a screen session. Not perfect, but not too bad:. Gtk application...

Brian's lovable online gazette: March 2008
http://bgmerrell.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Brian's lovable online gazette. Friday, March 28, 2008. Ubuntu's GDM resolution way too high! Another little quirk I ran into while installing my VMs (mentioned below). When setting up VMs for people to share, I like to use an 800x600 resolution. That way, no matter who fires up the vm, they can usually see the entire screen of the VM and configure the resolution (and anything else) however they want. Seems like Virtual is doing something it's not supposed to here. Thursday, March 13, 2008. Over the last...

Brian's lovable online gazette: Cute 'lil laptop
http://bgmerrell.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-just-noticed-new-hp-2133-mini-note-pc.html
Brian's lovable online gazette. Thursday, April 10, 2008. I just noticed the new HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is available. On on HP's site. It looks pretty neat. Basically it's a mini-laptop with a 8.9-inch diagonal WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) screen and a "92% full-size" keyboard. Additionally, it has an external VGA port that supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz. The thing weighs 2.8 lbs. It has a VIA C7-M processor. 10, 12, or 1.6 Ghz options. I don't know if it's as cool as Sony's VAIO UX. April...

Brian's lovable online gazette: VMWare (Workstation 6) on openSUSE 11

Brian's lovable online gazette. Friday, June 27, 2008. VMWare (Workstation 6) on openSUSE 11. EDIT July 13th 2008: Thanks to Tony Barnard who pointed me to Cameron Seader's blog entry. That has a fix. For the vmware-vmblock module problem described in this blog entry. ABSTRACT: ignore the inaccurate gcc version warning and run 'runme.pl' in the vmware-any-any-update117.tar.gz. Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use. Usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? Gcc (SUSE Linux...
