Greetings!
Welcome to the public_html/ section of orangesquid
(What is an orangesquid?) on copland.udel.edu,
one of the several Unix systems living
on the University of Delaware network.
Things here:
- Condensed edition of the Principia
Discordia (NEW!)
- Einstein's famous five-houses
riddle and my
solution to it. (Coming soon: an alternate solution?)
- A web-based ssh and X11 client to
copland or
strauss.
- The Kikka Purpa Llama homepage.
- Some of my computers.
- Some of my projects.
- My classes & schedule (06F).
- Liner Rant from
NOFX's
The
War on Errorism
- Bad Jokes
- Intro to GNU screen
- Linux on Sony Vaio PCG-Z1WA
- ``Weird'' Al ghost sighted on bluejeans!
- Frustrated with Mirapoint? I am, too.
I have managed to tweak forwarding and
filtering and create
multiple-recipient address book entries.
- Composers/unix trick #1:
ln -s ~os/.mozilla/plugins ~/.mozilla
This symlinks your plugin directory to mine... restart firefox,
and you should have shockwave/flash.
If you aren't comfortable with that, just snag libflashplayer.so and
flashplayer.xpt and put them in
~/.mozilla/plugins. Remember to chmod them 0755! You might also need
to copy and modify my ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat.
I also have my ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat that you
can copy and modify. Note that in both, the flash plugin is listed twice;
once, in my home directory, and then again in
/usr/sfw/{mozilla,firefox}/plugins for the
{haydn,verdi,vivaldi,debussy,schubert} SunRays in Smith 040. (The original
Mozilla plugin directory I had was more applicable when Smith 040 was filled
with ancient NCD Xterms.. heh.. but, you can always ssh -X to copland and
run mozilla, in theory.)
- Composers/unix trick #2:
On copland, you can print PDFs for free; save them (or move them) to
/tmp. Then,
cd /tmp
pdftops "pdfname.pdf" tmp$$.ps
qpr -q smips tmp$$.ps
rm tmp$$.ps (after it prints
successfully!)
(Don't forget, unix systems are case-sensitive; also, if you're
using bash, you can use tab-completion to save you some typing...)
- I also have some more composers tricks tagged on my
livejournal, so you may want to peek
over there *g* I also have a few tips about ssh'ing around campus without
having to re-enter your password again and again by use of ssh-keygen over
at my ECE/EECIS
homepage.
