I decided today that I am going to teach guitar. I have been thinking this for quite some time, and I used to teach people a few years back. I created an ad today and went and put it in a few music shops. Should be fun. 🙂 Tonight I did some writing, re-installed Fink,...

Playing with networks

I have been playing with Samba and working on getting everything working smoothly in my CVS copy of KDE. This involved running the Lisa daemon, fixing some things on my servers and then accessing the files in Konqueror. All works pretty well apart from a crash in...

Cool

After some head scratching I managed to get Qt/Mac compiled. It turned out that the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable that I had set was causing me problems. I reset it and it compiled fine. I now need to figure out how the application directories work in Mac...

Smooth

Today Aq and I went to the Smoothwall Express launch party. We took the tram to Birmingham; a first experience for us both, and we walked through arctic wind and rain to get to the little cyber cafe in a brum back street. We wandered in and Neuro from Smoothwall said...
