29-Sep-04

A google search for “terrorists could” turns up thousands of links from the media and their fearmongering speculations

Calendar

28-Sep-04

Just got Mozilla Calendar installed. Now, as of version 0.8, it can finally read Apple iCal format files, which is what I’d been waiting for. Looks nice and shiny, lots of promise. Still, there’s things that need to be done Import all the base holiday dates (Apple’s iCal library page has them) Write a script […]

Choosing a Wiki

23-Sep-04

Looking for a good personal wiki. There are too many choices out there. Need something robust/fully featured enough to do what I need, and simple to install. Blog integration would be nice, as would facets/labels (a la del.icio.us and gmail). A google for “wiki feature comparison” brought up this: Wiki Choice Tree, which in turn […]

configuring sftp

07-Sep-04

here’s something strange… if you want to set up sftp on your machine, you need to make sure that the path to the sftp server is included in the user’s default path who is logging in using sftp. An old article on redhat forums gave me some hints on where to start, but didn’t really […]

Pistaccio Pesto

06-Sep-04

Had some leftover fresh basil, and thought “what can one make with basil?” Pesto came to mind, of course. No pine nuts in the house, so thought pistaccio nuts might be a (reasonably passable) substitute. And even if they didn’t completely work, it’d be an interesting experiment. Turns out the flavors fit together quite nicely. […]
