### description => 'Development on linux rocks.
At first it felt strange and limited- Like the guis (graphical user interface(s)) were missing.
Most of coding and development happens on the terminal (the command line).
There are several command line tools that are little added candy bonuses to working.
vim
The text editor.
This is what you use to write and edit code.
cvs
This is probably my fave, after vim.
It keeps track of projects.
At first it will seem like added stress, more work to do.
It\'s a creepy thing before you get used to it.
I couldn\'t develop without cvs anymore. I would cry.
tree
List a hierarchy tree of files, instead of firing up a file browser, you can see your way around.
convert and mogrify
Make a million thumbnails without touching gimp or photoshop. Perfect and without human intervention.

### description => 'One of the dumbest things I used to do in making web pages was to resize images and make thumbnails in \'photoshop\'.
The next less dumb thing I did was to script thumbnailing. To allow a server to make the thumbnails instantly.
Then I got comfortable with things like convert and mogrify.
Both of these are interfaces to image magick.
These are used via the command line, the terminal. You feed them a list of one or more images (by path) and what to do with them.
Here\'s a big thing to not forget:
<blockquote>
<b>convert</b> makes copies of the original images
<b>mogrify</b> changes the original images
</blockquote>
<h3>Resizing images</h3>
What if you want an image to be no more then 800 pixels tall and wide?
<code>convert ./original.jpg -resize 800x800 ./copy.jpg</code>
Do it to the original:
<code>mogrify -resize 800x800 ./original.jpg</code>
So let\'s have a more useful example. I downloaded images from my camera. And I want to resize them and make thumbnails. My originals reside in ~/images/set1. (Whenever you see a ~ symbol it means \'home\' to the computer, usually /home/yourlogin)
<pre>cp -R /home/myself/images/set1 /home/myself/images/set1post # 1
cd /home/myself/images/set1post #2
mogrify -resize 800x800 ./*jpg #3
find ./*jpg -exec convert \'{}\' -resize 100x100 \'{}\'small \\; #4
rename \'.jpgsmall\' \'_small.jpg\' ./* #5 </pre>
First of all, it\'s safe to leave the # marks, these are interpreted as comments, thus ignored.
1) Let\'s replicate the directory set of images first, recursively.
2) Change into the new directory
3) Change the originals to be no more wide or tall then 800px, for the web.
4) Use find to convert the files from image.jpg to image.jpgsmall, for all of them, this way we ahve copies.
5) Name the files properly, anywhere we see something like \'.jpgsmall\', change it to \'_small.jpg\'
<h3>converting between image formats</h3>
Now, as ImageMagick tells it, primarity, it is a package for converting images from one format to another.
What if you have a freaking tif file that you need to be something else?
<code>convert ./original_image.tif ./converted_image.jpg</code>

### description => 'These tools are useful for development.
Most of the time you work on the terminal, and to find your way around a project you use things like find, ls, and tab completion.
If you need more of a bird\'s eye view, you may fire up a gui browser like konqueror. But that\'s a gui, and guis are for users.
Another option is tree. Here is example output of tree:
<pre>[leo@localhost devel]$ tree

What if you want to do something a tiny bit more intricate?
If you are working inside a cvs tree.. things can get pretty crazy.
Here is default tree output in a cvs filesystem hierarcy slice:

Wohoa.. that\'s a lot of junk to look over.. What if we just want to see the roject files, not the cvs files..
Here\'s what we can do, use the parameter -I CVS, this excludes things matching a pattern match:

Pretty cool, huh?
It\'s very useful to me when I\'m busy on a more complex project and I need to get around, and I don\'t want to use a damn gui to browse a filesystem section.
<strong>installing tree</strong>
Tree is not a standard command. You must install it with yum or build it on your machine.

The Tao was written by Lao Tzu.
There are many translations of the Tao. Here is the version that I prefer. It was made by a

The version is not easily found, the book is out of print.
Thus, when I found it again, I placed it here so that others looking for the Wing Tsit Chan Translation of the Tao may have an easier time finding it.

I need the best monitor possible so that my eyes will not burn out and I won\'t be able to keep working.
If the company I work for did not buy me the hardware I need, I would go out and buy it myself.
I am a recent convert to lcd screens.
There are a couple of peculiarities about the ViewSonic VA903b that I have learned and want to share.
I have two of these, and for a little while I wanted to chuck them out with the bath water.
Two things that could be happening with the VA903b to give you a moire effect, a blurry image:
1) If you see ghosting of light letters on a dark background: check the cable on the back of the monitor, make sure it is plugged in properly.
Wiggle it a bit, and the ghosting dissappears. If the cable is too tight from being far from the computer, your image is bad.
2) Check the horizontal size of your screen. I noticed that the auto adjust does not automatically adjust the horizontonal size of the screen.
I also noticed that there is a sweet spot just under the total number of cells on the screen. This setting is *more* important then the "fine tune"
option on the "manual adjust" menu.
Having figured those two things out, I love my monitors way past my old CRTs. I don\'t know that I could ever use a CRT again.',

### description => 'So, I saw Marie Antoinette.
Turns out this movie is directed by Sofia Coppola.
I loved Lost in Translation.
The good thing about that movie, is that what is on the verge of happening throughout the whole thing never does happen. And you\'re left with this beautiful sweet taste of a sin half way committed.
In the movie Marie Antoinette, you know what\'s going to happen.
The main characters of the movie are all going to be killed.
The whole movie plays like a children\'s show, very flowery.
So you think- this is good. Can\'t wait to see where this ends up very witty- this must be showing the situation from their standpoint.. You\'re just.. la dee da.. and look at the pretty flowers, and the sunlight and then - oh no, we\'re dead! The End. Movie over.. aha! What a great movie.. but no. Sorry Sofia Coppola. You suck here.
You can\'t use the same formula and get away with it, not here.
This screenplay had a chance to actually be witty, to leave some kind of an aftertaste in your eyeballs, nut nooOOOoooo... I\'m Sofia Coppola, I\'m going to make a joke without a punchline and you\'re all going to laugh anyway.
Well, I ain\'t laughing.
Nor is your father, Francis Ford Coppola. I know it. I know he\'s shaking his head and thinking *tsk* *tsk* - and you\'re like.. "Why daddy! Why! It *is* a good movie! It\'s a fucking masterpiece! It\'s a great movie, daddy!!! buahahhhahahahaah!"
And daddy don\'t say nuthin\' does he?! Maybe he nods and says \'yes honey, you made a movie.\'
But, I wanna be like daddy!!!
Sorry, it takes more then a dick and balls to make Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia.
Ps. Gotta tell ya though, incredibly good score. The Strokes.. Joy Division. Almost made the movie good. Try it without the video next time, should be cheaper to make.

I ended up packaging this under <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~leocharre/WordPress-Post-1.04/">WordPress::Post</a> on cpan.
Usage examples:
<pre>wppost -t \'title of the post\' -c stuff,fruit,cake -i \'This is what I think of bla.\'</pre>
You can also write a text file, the name of the text file is the title.
<pre>wppost -i ./path/to/title_of_the_post.txt</pre>
This program is in its infancy. But dammit, it works. It\'s how I posted this content via the command like. Also, you can include images in your posts. Multiple images. Via the command line.
Anything not in the argument is considered posting content..
So what if your post if about a party you went to, and you have 5 pictures..
First write your halloween_party.txt file, then have your photos lined up somewhere.. then..
<pre>wppost -i halloween_party.txt ./images/halloween_photos_post/*jpg</pre>
Done. Linux rocks.

Here\'s an example of a cgi script running so that it is profiled..
script.cgi :
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl -d
use Devel::DProf;
# do whatever .....
</pre>
Afterwards, a tmon.out file resides alongside your script.cgi
<pre>
# dprofpp -I ./tmon.out
</pre>
Why the heck would you want to profile a cgi??
As I say over and over again to myself and to anyone that may happen to stand around me, I think a cgi is not a program. I think any web application is not supposed to be an application at all.
I think that a web application should be an INTERFACE to a an application.
A cgi may do things like manage authentication, take user input, and give feedback. That\'s all. It should NOT do crazy things like perform OCR, make calculations, generate thumbnails, etc etc.
That kind of code should be developed and tested via the command line on a terminal emulator.
After that works, you can make your interface, or WUI, as I like to call them. Web User Interface.
Now, although your web interface may not do much but take input and spit feedback- what is going on behind the scenes may be very complicated.
Sometimes your application runs great, and you get users telling you "hey, it\'s slow..".
You have to perform all the things they do with their variables etc.. to see what\'s going on.
Replicating a cgi environment with authentication, encryption, and god knows what else.. is a pain - in fact.. I\'ve tried a couple of times and it sucked all my energy out. Screw that.
So this is the next best thing- profile a cgi run!!!
It\'s wonderful- if you have a slow cgi app, this is really useful.

It would be nice to rename all the images according to the date, as recorded inside the image exif data, that is, the sate stamp put in by your camera.
I hacked together this script to do that..
Use at your own peril. This is a hack.
Eventually I will release a refined version on cpan.
This scrip requires modules Image::ExifTool, LEOCHARRE::CLI ..

Turns out you need to install mysql-client and mysql-devel.
I\'m on a fedora core gui, so I use yum..
<code>yum -y install mysql-client mysql-devel</code>
Great.
Now let\'s try cpan again..
<code>cpan install DBD::mysql</code>
It works better.. but oops.. still ..
<code>2 tests skipped.

What\'s up?
I think the mysql server\'s not running on this machine, thus, we need to install to make a full successful check via cpan.
<code>yum -y install mysql-server</code>
And then..

OVERALL VERDICT
This is a quiet and fast machine. The screen resolution is amazing. This machine is great for coding, which is what I do.
The lowdown is that it gets hot and it\'s therefore not a LAPtop.
I strongly recommend this machine for coding. I am schocked this machine does what it does, being a "dell".
DETAILS
The Dell Inspiron 600m
Usually I hate anything that\'s not either IBM or Apple. Dell, let\'s face it, it\'s trash. It\'s a computer for users. It\'s a fucking windows machine. Right?
SPECS
This particular model has two 256 meg mem sims, totaling at 512 megs.
The processor is a pentium m.
The video card is ATI Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000].
Two usb ports.
Built in ethernet and phone jacks.
DVDrom CDrw in same drive.
BATTERY
I don\'t have a preference for working unplugged as far as power goes. When I have worked off the battery, I think it does not last long, a couple of hours maybe.
The battery does have a button that lights up to tell you how much juice is left. This is really nice, works unplugged from the machine as well, so if you had two..
THE SCREEN
I give it a ten.
The resolution is set at 1400x1050 at 60hz. This is really good for coding.
I can set up two gnome-terminals at 750x1050 and they work wonderfully well. You can use some good font like Lucida Typewriter 9 point, and this is really wonderful and clean an environment to work in.
NOISE
One of the most important things for me when I code is the peace. I need quiet. This machine is incredibly quiet. The fan barely turns on unless needed. I am completely satisfied with the noise level of this machine- I could not ask for more.
HEAT
This is NOT a LAP top. This fucker gets hot. It\'s a pentium M, 1.6 ghz or so.. (check).
PERFORMANCE
This machine is snappy as hell.
I have at work a 64bit 1.6Ghz machine with 1 gig mem, and for normal usage, this laptop outperforms it, often.
Of course if I need to queue the machine to do something I am not interacting with.. the 64bit machine will eat this dell alive and spit out the seeds.
INSTALLING LINUX
I used Fedora Core 8.
First install it fucked up. I went ahead and just reinstalled, ignoring what happened before. Worked great.
Hardware works great..
I can switch to a terminal output with Ctrl+Alt+F* and back to the gui with no problem. Some machines fuck this up.
Linux is amazing on a dell inspiron 600m.

Normally I wouldn\'t give two flying fucks about a goddam sports movie.
But... it was the Eagles- it was Mark Wahlberg, it was Philly.

And his neighborhood.. reminds me of my little lives past.
And it makes me miss my Pennsylvania girl.
The one who made me watch Football in a bar for the first time in my life.

I miss the city.
I miss Boston.
I miss what I saw of Philly.
I miss walking into a house falling down.
I miss poverty, the fucked up walls in a house run by slumlords who won\'t turn up the heat in winter.
People liek Fred Ficken who you call complaining that you\'re freezing to death and they have the fucking nerve to walk into your apartment unannounced and look around pause and say \'no, it\'s not cold here..\'.
I miss the endless three story row houses in Mission Hill.
The roads of Roxbury.
I miss the miles of city.
The hummanity uncontrolled.
Forgotten but it still lives.
I miss the night time.
Walking alone because I have nowhere to go, for in my mind I have had a moment of clarity in which \'home\' is only ... only where my feet may be standing on at a given moment.
I miss.

so tired your body hurts
but in some good way
and all you can really feel is that you are awake
and that you should not be
amazing how it helps with all the horror of life
i might be hungry even.. and i don\'t care
i wouldn\'t eat if some good french-cameroonian or indian food were to be in front of me..
that\'s how tired i am
i am so tired i am typing this shit
slowly..ish..
holding a burnt out butt on my right hand
while i type
if i goto sleep, and sooner or later i will..
then i will perhaps dream and have more nightmares
and even if not, iw will be here all over again tommorrow
and it will start all over again
all of it
none of it
and then, and then... i will sleep
and then i will wake up
and then i will sleep
and then
i am starting to feel my eyes unbearably heavy and wanting to close as i correct my spelling mistakes as isleep.. i wonder if I am properly toing without ooking at the keyboard,,, because now my eyes ae closed....
wow.... what garble was that... i amrtpoing whjile i am asleep...
oh shit..
i just woke up
wow
weird
ok
but see.. that\'s misleading
because this is how i felt friday morning at 5am when i knew i just had to go to sleep..
i felt like this
that i NEEDEd sleep

First thing you need is a way to figure out what the skew angle is.
<h4>unpaper 0.2</h4>
I tried using \'unpaper\' v 0.2
But for some reason no matter how much I fumbled with the settings.. I could not get it to detect a skew.
<h4>pagetools 0.1</h4>
The next thing I tried was something called \'pagetools\'
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pagetools/
The current version for that is 0.1 (as of this writing).
You can see them on http://sourceforge.net/projects/pagetools/
This version has no real installer per se, you unzip, untar, and then
where you extracted you run \'make\'.
The following is an example of how you would go about doing this.
This may fail on your machine- use your head and don\'t dispair.
(as root..)
<pre>
cd ~/
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pagetools/pagetools-0.1.tar.gz?use_mirror=internap
gunzip pagetools-0.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf pagetools-0.1.tar
make
</pre>
And likely get an error about missing pbm.h
WHY! Because this is provided by another package.
I did a yum search
<pre>
yum provides pbm.h
</pre>
And got some results. Then chose what to install..
<pre>
yum install netpbm-devel
</pre>
Great. Then I did a \'make clean\' to wipe my previous make try..
<pre>
make clean
</pre>
Now run the make again..
<pre>
make
</pre>
And.. and?? What happenned??
What happened is if you look in pbm_findskew/pbm_findskew , this binary is what
was compiled for you.
<h3>Try the sucker out.</h3>
Imagine you have a skewed.png image..
(assuming you habe imagemagick installed on your system)
<pre>
convert skewed.png skewed.pbm
./pbm_findskew/pbm_findskew skewed.pbm
</pre>
Output is something like \'0.839234\'
Great. Now.. Use that value to fix your original
<pre>
mogrify -rotate "-0.839234" skewed.png
</pre>
Why minus - ? Because pbm_findskew tells you how many degrees counter clockqise you must
rotate to get it straight.
Check it out.
<pre>
eog skewed.png
</pre>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
You could script this together pretty easy with perl/bash.
I was doing this originally to prep stuff for gocr. But.. I think the quality of the rotated
image is not as good for ocr reaing as the original!! Weird- but makes sense.

The problem is the file reedsolomon.cpp , it's got a problem when you try to compile with gcc 4.0
Open up the magic tool and cure for all the problems in the univers: vim , and edit reedsolomon.cpp
Run this command (after pressing 'Esc' and ':' (which puts you in command mode ))
<code>:%s/^bool ReedSolomon/template <> bool ReedSolomon/g</code>
save the file, run make again and it should compile

<h1>Metadata, inodes, and indexing on ext3.</h1><p>I work in a multi-os, multiple volum and multiple filesystem enviornment.</p><p>We are ann office that services clients and a lot of what we do is keep track of paperwork. </p><p>Ext3 inodes are very interesting.

<h1>inodes , ext3 </h1>
<p>I wanted to index files partly based on inodes. I wanted to store metadata on files. Why work with inodes?
<ul><li>While users play with filenames, the system doesnt care about names. The inode is the most important thing.</li>
<li>if you rename a file, the inode stays the same. </li>
<li>No matter where you \'move\' the file, the inode stays the same.</li>
<li>The inode table is recorded on that filesystem, on that volume. Inode stays the same on mount, umount.. on any machine that reads ext3.</li>
</ul>
<p>Possible problems.</p>
<p>Copying a file loses all sense to the system. That is , a copy of a file is to the system - a completely different data collection- however to the user it is the same.</p>
<p>Jane copies \'family fotos\' from disk a to disk b- In Jane\'s mind, these are the same. In the computer\'s mind, these might as well be jane\'s photos and the blue prints to the whitehouse. How do we keep metadata associated?</p>

You can do whatever you want to do<br />
other people are *not* an obstacle.<br />
<br />
Your talent does not define your success.<br />
It is your perseverence and your willingness to not give up on youserself that make things happen. <br />
<br />
Other people do not set boundaries and limits on what we can and can not do.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can prove it.<br />
<br />
Albert Camus is a good writer. At least, I think so. And a I think a lot of other people think so as well. But how many people like his writing, or are willing to read his work?<br />
<br />
I have read and I beliebe that a writer is made by his reader.<br />
Thus, to be a writer, Camus must be read.<br />
If Camus today walked door to door and asked a person if they heard of his work, how many people would say yes? If he asked them to buy a copy of one of his work, how many would? And how many would read it? How many of those would like it, and then buy another of his works also?<br />
My crucial point:<br />
How many doors would Camus have to knock on before he found a reader- and thus become a writer?<br />
Ten? A hundred? A thousand? <br />
It could be a thousand.<br />
Does that make Camus a bad writer? <br />
Does that mean Camus should stop trying to be a writer?<br />
<br />
Music is another great example. People are very particular about music. I think Hank William Jr. is a good musician- Or so I hear, that many people like his music. If he knocked on my door, I would turn him away- I don't like his music. How many people would turn Mr William away? <br />
Yet, his music is famous, millions of people in the world have paid money for his music, and admire his work.<br />
<br />
If Camus and Hank William keep knocking on doors, somebody, somewhere, at some point- Will accept their work. They will give them a chance- Maybe even pay money for their efforts.<br />
<br />
<br />
The same things happens with mediocre talent. How many times have you eaten a meal at a fancy restaurant that you didn't like? How many times have you paid ten dollars to watch a movie and then asked yourself 'how the hell did this stupid movie get made? This sucked! I want my money back!' <br />
Have you ever seen a work of art that clearly was no good? You looked at the price tag and it was selling for more then your house? And then.. Maybe.. the next day.. somebody *bought* it!!!!<br />
How does this happen?<br />
<br />
Because just as with good talent- Mediocrity does not define who gets a chance.<br />
No matter how lousy your talent is, you can get a chance.<br />
<br />
I am not a hair dresser. I have no experience cutting hair. <br />
If I apply for work cutting hair, is it true that no one will hire me? How many places do I have to apply to before I give up? How many places do I have to ask for employment before I tell myself "nobody will hire me, I give up"? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?<br />
It's the simple law of chance. If you keep asking, you will get what you want.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is your dream?<br />
Do you want to be a painter? Do you want to be a musician? Do you want to be a real estate agent, a teacher? Do you want to be a basketball player?<br />
Even if you are missing an arm, at some point- Someone will hire you to lift heavy objects if that is what you want to do. <br />
<br />
How many times will you be turned away until you give up?<br />
<br />
Who is really telling you no? <br />
<br />
The curse of the human condition is that in all truth, we are in complete control of our destiny. Whatever your dream, whatever your desire; if you don't have it, it is because you stopped giving yourself a chance.</p>

The date is June 06- no, this is not a prehistory document. This is really one of my work computers. It is sturdy, beautiful, has great review all over the net from geeks and hackers. The CD drive is bust, the battery is dead, I love it.
I spent a long time looking for a card that would work with my laptop. I found one, last night it worked. It still works.
It\'s a <b>Netgear MA401RA</b>, which is different then a netgear ma401.
It works. I had to fc#x with it, but.. It\'s really something. A linux laptop with a wireless connection.
