haiku appliance

Posted on 27 January 201621 January 2016 By antipaucity

I have been a fan of Haiku for years – and BeOS since way back in the 90s. I run a Haiku mirror, and try to pay attention to the project’s updates. Today I am making available a Haiku-OS r1 alpha 4.1 virtual appliance! Download it from me here (created in VirtualBox, but in .ova format, so…

i’m a medium plogger now*

Posted on 21 January 201621 January 2016 By antipaucity

(*Though most people would call me an XXXL blogger.) Following in the steps of Dave Winer, I am now plogging (sorta) on Medium. And, like Mr Winer, I’m doing it via IFTTT (though not via RSS, I’m doing it via the WordPress channel). If you’d like to do the same, use this IFTTT recipe.

subaru isn’t groveling

Posted on 5 October 201514 October 2015 By antipaucity 2 Comments on subaru isn’t groveling

Subaru released a new vehicle in the Japanese market recently called the Levorg (I saw it on Samurai Wheels on NHK World). It stands for LEgacy reVOlution touRinG. It also spells “grovel” backwards. From the review Samurai Wheels gave it, it certainly doesn’t grovel. But it also purports to do something relatively difficult. Subaru has introduced EyeSight in…

show only most recent facebook news feed

Posted on 22 September 201522 September 2015 By antipaucity 1 Comment on show only most recent facebook news feed

(Note: I did this in Chrome – it’ll be a little different in other browsers) I have several complaints about the book of the face – not least of which is that it likes to reset your News Feed from “Most Recent” (aka most useful) to “Top Stories” (aka whatever Facebook wants you to see)….

steam by andrea sutcliffe

Posted on 27 April 201523 April 2015 By antipaucity

Andrea Sutcliffe’s book Steam: The Untold Story of American’s First Great Invention was a pure joy to read. Being the second review I’m writing with my “new” system, I hope you find this book as interesting as I have. In 1784, James Rumsey designed a boat that could, by purely mechanical means, move its way…

merging centos iso images

Posted on 28 January 201528 January 2015 By antipaucity

Thanks to @Anon on Unix.SE for the pointer on how to do this. And to @Andy‘s comment on @mmckinst‘s answer for the warning about additional packages you may need. As my three readers know, I run a CentOS mirror. One of the idiosyncrasies of CentOS, like its upstream RHEL, is that DVD ISOs aren’t always just one image –…

programming your home by mike riley

Posted on 5 May 201428 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on programming your home by mike riley

Mike Riley’s entry in The Pragmatic Programmers series, Programming Your Home – automating with Arduino, Android, and your computer – was a lot of fun. While I am not really in a position to do many of the mini projects given in the book (wrong type of house plus we rent), reading some of the…
