Continuation

I’m in a process of moving to a new flat, so not to much update. Also Ann is with me until next Monday, so I spending as much time with her as I can.

Finished, at last !  It has few more missions than expected, and one expected Good entertainment , finished in under 20h game play.

Heard about it for a while, I have even used some of its components, with some of my small projects, which never went out of half-working stage. Recently decided, that I will give it a try. What I have done after reading a tutorial, which had more info how to install ruby and IDE, than actually coding.

And after installation ( much strait forward, than what was in tutorial ) I have created simple database with one table. To create RoR project I have used one command, which has created nice skeleton of folders with some files inside. Then I have configured database access for my project. The last step was to ‘scaffold’ a projects. And that was it. After scaffolding I was able to do CRUD on my db. I can bet, that even MS VS.net freaks spend more time to achieve what I have done in few seconds ( ok , it was more, because I couldn’t believe that it was SO! Rapid application development, and I was investigating what has been done for me ).

I am really impressed by that. I will spend more time on RoR now, and already I have big plans for it… more to be seen in time.

I have had a bad Saturday, due to food poisoning. I was sleeping for whole day on sat.

Sunday, with just uncomfy feeling I’ve spent day on shopping ( just food – sometimes happens ) and watching movies.

Tried to watch Oliver Twist, but it did not keep me for long. Then I’ve seen great movie by S. Spielberg Munich, really, really nice movie. But after that I placed a DVD with Crash in to my player… and this movie just made my day night. Amazing, if world is so freaked out as presented in this movie… it is just stunning.

Metal Gear , Metal Gear, I have forgot how great fun card game can be…. Before starting with movies on Sunday, I have spent few hours playing my AC!D 2 … After finished with game … I have realized that I am still thinking in turns… weird stuff.  

Started with Inside Man, which appears to be much much nicer than I have expected. I have been told that it is crap, while it really was high. Not talking about Denzel Washington, but Clive Owen, who performed really well. Denzel, his role was not so bright…

Finished with Underground 2. After watching Inside Man… huh the only positive thing which I can tell about it, is that Kate looks sweet  

I’ve "discovered" Metal Gear AC!D2 on my PSP … just can’t  do anything else, hardly squeezed some time to watch Top Gear s8.e2

If your distributions does not allow your users to mount storage device ( i.e. usb memory ) and it appears that you are using Gnome 2.14 ( and maybe higher ) and you wish to actually allow your self this pleasure :

Under gentoo :

1. your user should be in plugdev group.
2. /media directory should exist.
3. And after you have added your self, log out, and in again.
4. Restart dbus!

The fourth step came to me after reading gnome-mount -vt output. It was around 30 minutes of googling, completely useless.

Google Trends: google, msn, yahoo

Blue – Google

Red – MSN

Yellow – Yahoo

This chart shows trends for google for google, msn, yahoo … which are search sites. In my opinion these people just missed the address bar and started to type strait to google search box. So! you can compare how many users of these engines actually has google as a start page for their browser.

If Wii has such a nice controller… will have to definitely test it in a shop before buying.

But is it, without a doubt much better approach to human-game interaction, than everything else what I’ve seen, when it comes to default game controller.

I have found that my flock is not picking up my ns plugins. NS – Netscape. These are standard Netscape/Mozilla plugins, which usually work across all Mozilla based Browsers.

Fix: In my case, Flock was installed in to /opt/flock. I have renamed original plugins directory and created new symbolic link in place : ln -s /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins /opt/flock/plugins.
