Wonderous stories

In my search for spoken entertainment to commute to, I ran into Twilight Tales, a podcast of really high quality horror stories. If you like stuff KW Jeter you will probably like at least the episode 2, Flying.

KPilot goodness

To someone who has been using jpilot for years, KPilot is a huge leap forward. Synching is actually effortless in comparation! Plus it is cute.

And, of course, free!

Apache2 000default

I had a weird proglem where .cgi didn't work at lynoure.net but did work at www.lynoure.net. Turned out this can be caused by overcomplicated default virtual host configuration file, even if there doesn't seem to be anything related there. Tuning it down to just have NamedVirtualHost * solved the problem for me.

Thanks for Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho for help!

Kieli ja masennus

Onkohan suomi masennukselle altistava kieli, kun futuuri ja preesens näyttävät samalta? Esimerkki: "En saa tätä toimimaan." Olla siinä sitten optimisti, kun nykytilan toteaminen heittää varjon koko tulevaisuuden ylle.

Maintenance windows for your desktop computer

Lots of suffering can be avoided by choosing maintenance windows even for your own home desktop computer or PDA.

Have you ever been in hurry to leave but just wanted to update your computer? Or thought that some improvement would make your weekend of leasurely gaming so much nicer? And then that update didn't go quite right.

I'm battling this urge right now. I'd like to install Energy Dimmer for my LifeDrive so that it will have longer battery life during the weekend I'll be away. Unwise. If the upgrade does badly now, I won't have time to fix it to my satisfaction and maybe even will not have a working LifeDrive to use during the weekend.
