Dell217A weblog of how I set up my new Dell in 217 CNThu Oct 9 18:06:06 2003 Need to mess with story.html- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I think I'd like to fix this so that the posting time appears bf in the title, as I've been doing by hand. Then we can delete the posted-at stuff. Just manually switched emacs to html mode, which seems to work ok. Maybe I can avoid futzing with the directory structure...http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art014 Thu Oct 9 07:36:37 2003- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Question: Is there some way to see my D: drive from Unix Ans: Colin says no, which is pretty much as it should be.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art006 Thu Oct 9 11:11:13 2003 ssh keyboard settings- (Found June 24, 2008 ) ssh Keyboard settings from my laptop: Backspace sends Delete, Audio Bell, Alt send escape, Preserve Alt-Gr also: Jump Scroll, Scroll-to-clear-screen, Scroll-to-bottom-on output, scroll-to-bottom-on keypress Setting BS sends Delete and Alt sends Escape in SSH seems to do the trick. Maybe this should be in the default Still need to set up ssh identity, hopefully in a way that doesn't screw up my identity on the VanDyke client at home and on my laptop.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art007 Thu Oct 9 11:36:14 2003 Dealing with ssh identities- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Tried importing keypairs into SSH using Settings User Keys Import I imported all the .pub keys from .ssh and .ssh2, on some got "error reading file" on import, but they looked ok when I opened them in notepad. Tried using them, got: "Failed to read your public key file C:Docs&SettingswandApplication DataSSHUserKeyswhatever.pub" Tried generating a keypair, called it wand-dell2 w empty passphrase, then uploading it to wand.ssh2authorization . That didn't seem to work. Deleting id_dsa...http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art008 Thu Oct 9 11:56:24 2003 Urgent: How to cut & paste w emacs (or even xterm)- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I can't seem to get the clipboard integration to work. I can cut & paste just fine between X apps, but not between X and windows. Maybe we really need to set -clipboardhttp://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art009 Thu Oct 9 16:48:06 2003 Can't Load Java plugin- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Firebird loads just fine, but can't load Java plugin (boo-hoo!): insufficient privilege. Imported my Mozilla bookmarks just fine, though.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art010 Thu Oct 9 16:50:53 2003 My plan for organizing program libraries.- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I'm keeping all the real stuff in D:Program Files ; this will keep Windows installers happy and not use up my Unix quota. At the same time, I'm keeping a directory windowsProgram Files . This will contain a directory per download; each directory will contain the web site from which the application was downloaded + a shortcut to the corresponding directory over in D: . That way in case of disaster I'll have a record of what was installed. Of course this means that utilities I rely on, like..http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art011 Thu Oct 9 17:26:10 2003 Switched to Blosxom- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I'm now generating this as a _real_ blog, using Blosxom (www.blosxom.com). They said "blogging in 20 minutes or your money back", and they were right. Of course this looks pretty vanilla; I'll have to find some nicer themes so it will look prettier. Also making blosxom look for .txt files is a bad idea, because then I'm typing in text mode. A better plan is to put the articles in html mode, and then put the blog in a directory separate from the articles.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art012 Got Blosxom sort-of configured- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Put in a decent head.html, so now this sucker looks like a real blog. I'll still need to reorganize the directories and set up the cron jobs, etc.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/09#art013 Fri Oct 17 16:07:08 2003 Can't see cross-device links- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I have links in my home directory: from homewandproj to projwand from homewandproj2 to projwand2 from homewandscratch to scratchwand None of these is visible from My Documents.http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/blogs/Dell217/2003/10/17#art024 |
