The Next Move

Current mood: blah
I made a datebook.dat to iCalendar converter. I hope google finds it and people make use of it, even if its unneccessarily using PST/PDT to specify dates. Thats a result of Google Calendar not supporting Exclusion Dates (EXDATE) in iCalendar files and other numerical issues.
The subject refers to my state of life, I'm single, and having a girlfriend was the only set point in my life. Oh, comments might be disabled, but my gmail account name is doctor.whom
 Fonts in Debian over VNC
Posted June 23rd at 3:01am by Kyle
I got sick of fonts not working for btdownloadgui when using Xtightvnc so I looked it up and found a reference to Fonts in Debian over VNC
xerotope Wrote:
I figured it out, I needed to edit my vnc.conf so that it could read the font paths from my XF86config-4 file.
so I added $XFConfigPath = "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"; to /etc/vnc.conf and was good to go.

buncha stuff was broken because site5 turned on some safety thing in php that prevents stuff sent to the page being used directly as $variable, instead it goes into $_GET and $_POST respectively, and $_REQUEST combines both. I started this incarnation of "My Site" back when that was just coming into play, but these days I'm using the $_GET superglobals like a good boy, just that I never went back to fix anything.
Also of interest, the Message index for my voicemail setup validates to HTML 4.01 Transitional unlike probably most of the internet.

binary kompare
Posted April 19th at 6:35pm by Kyle
had a problem comparing changes made to a binary file, but then I realized I could just hexdump both files and then run kompare on that
hexdump -C file1 > file1.hex
hexdump -C file2 > file2.hex
kompare file1.hex file2.hex

U.S. Robotics 56K Voice EXT

Yesterday my UPS battery failed and when I brought my linux box back up I found two things wrong. The buddy list for gaim is lost, and my modem didn't work.
init: Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
atz
ERROR
at
Boot>
I fired up minicom, a terminal emulator for the linux console and for most AT commands got back ERROR while a plain AT returned "Boot>" my knowledge of devices with firmware made me guess that I was getting a fallback firmware incase the normal stuff didn't work so I searched around US Robotics site for awhile and all they had available for my modem was the inf files for windows to use the modem. After that I remembered that old stuff is usually findable on ftp sites. ftp://ftp.usr.com/updates/archive/00178400ud.exe is the url for the firmware for my modem. USR likes to use zip for everything so I was able to reflash my modem from linux by using the updater program from a newer modems firmware update.
Xbox 360 Universal Remote
Posted January 17th at 10:17pm by Kyle
I bought an Xbox 360 Universal Remote off ebay for the express purpose of using it to control music playing from a linux box. The remote is designed to control the users Xbox 360 and their TV. The numeric buttons at the bottom, Power, and Channel buttons are shared between the Xbox360 and the TV, the Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute buttons are always set to the TV. The buttons above the TV button with the exception of the power button are Xbox360 only, and only work in that mode so an easy way to see what mode the remote is in, is to press any button near the top. Xbox button at the top works in both modes for the xbox 360.
