Gaim + Google Talk
|
Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten Google's Jabber server to work with Gaim on a platform other than Windows? It doesn't get past "authenticating" for me, and my friend using Adium on OS X can't seem to connect either. It mysteriously work... |

Why do the autotools suck?
|
So I've been around Linux for a long time, but I've resisted learning the autotools.
Why? Because they're complicated as hell. I really don't want to spend an extra 30 minutes having to remind myself what all the damn macros are and then writing t... |

Ye olde windowe manager threade
|
So I've been around Linux for a while (about 5 years now), but I remain disappointed with the window managers available. The problem is, a number of them have features I like, but each one seems to have annoyances that others don't have.

GNOME settings
|
Ok, so just for fun, I decided to mess around with GNOME a bit more today (as I've said previously, I always switch what I like using). Anyway, I tried to add the Email notifier applet to the panel, and then things froze up. I had to CTRL-ALT-BACKSPA... |

Ndiswrapper and Debian

So recently, you may recall that my hard drive died. Well, when I had initially installed Debian on that drive, I was at my parents' where I had an ethernet connection to the Internet, but in my apartment I only have wireless access. (The f... |

Data recovery from a dead drive

I suppose this question isn't necessarily *nix-related, but since the drive in question was formatted with ReiserFS, I would think there would be 'nix tools to do the job...

GDM and the path

So I'm trying to run Eclipse on my freshly-installed Debian, but it complains about the Java binaries not being in the path. No problem, I change it. So I can open Eclipse from the command line, but for some reason, I can't seem to make the pa... |

Music Plasma

I was at a friend's house last night, and he showed me this great site called Music Plasma. You type in the name of a band, and it gives you a little map centered on the band you searched for, showing similar bands in close proximity. The clos... |

He's probably still alive, but it looks like Strife is no longer with us (he hasn't posted since October 29, 2005).
Perhaps the Java Development forum needs a new moderator?
Funny, I told Dave that about a year and... |

starbucks

Starbucks???? Are you kidding me? The only reasonable excuse you have for going there is if you live in such a small town that there is no other coffee place for you to go to. |

Ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen),

Actually, Python in general is really cool. Even though I hardly know it, it's already becoming one of my favorite languages. Where I can use a scripting language, I accept no substitutes (except maybe Bash scripting, if I'm mainly manipulating... |

Moving from Java to C#
|
C# was basically designed to be Java plus some other stuff that Java should (erm, doesn't) have, e.g., operator overloading.
So yes, learning C# after knowing Java would require relatively little time. I haven't looked at C# a whole lot before, bu... |

Social networking IM, neat idea.

Very cool idea. Privacy isn't really so much of an issue, seeing as you have to opt in to it rather than opt out.
I was also very pleasently surprised to see that there is (or at least will be) a Linux client. If this catches on, I may look i... |

Mouse issues on ubuntu Hoary.

I remember having those same problems with Slackware when I first started using Linux years ago. The solution to the problem was simply finding the correct driver to use. It's strange that ImPS/2 isn't working for you, though. Try a few of the other... |
