How About Them Blogs: February 2011
http://blog.hjfreyer.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
How About Them Blogs. One asshole can ruin a birthday party, but a single optimist doesn't have much of a shot at warming up a group of feuding friends. A conversation between a depressed person and a cheery one is more likely to leave both parties sad than happy. Why is that? Why is it so much harder to spread goodwill than negativity? I was discussing this with a friend, and a result from game theory came to mind. In fact, in a scheme where folks change their strategies over time, if you start with eve...

Halting Problem: Eclipse with android dev tools freezes on startup
http://blog.michaelkelly.org/2014/03/eclipse-with-android-dev-tools-freezes.html
A conspiracy of cartographers, v4.0. Friday, March 14, 2014. Eclipse with android dev tools freezes on startup. I've just installed the eclipse android dev tools bundle, x86 64, version 20131030. I've noticed that, after a few sessions, eclipse will freeze when trying to load a workspace. The workaround is to start. Argument, which I found on this StackOverflow page.

Halting Problem: October 2013

A conspiracy of cartographers, v4.0. Thursday, October 10, 2013. TLS Authentication for Munin with easy-rsa. Is cool. However, by default, it sends everything in plaintext, and relies on silly schemes like subnet whitelisting for authentication. However, it can use TLS. Most of the info is here: http:/ munin-monitoring.org/wiki/MuninTLSSetup. The munin wiki assumes you know how to make openssl certs, though, which I don't. Here's the cheat-sheet for that (this all assumes you are using. For debugging a s...

Halting Problem: Using a Custom Window Manager in Ubuntu 14.04
http://blog.michaelkelly.org/2014/04/using-custom-window-manager-in-ubuntu.html
A conspiracy of cartographers, v4.0. Friday, April 25, 2014. Using a Custom Window Manager in Ubuntu 14.04. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Thinkpad X1 carbon (laptop). These are my notes about using a custom window manager via .xsession files; perhaps they'll be useful to someone else, too. (Notably, this is assuming you already know everything about configuring your WM and just want to know how to do it in the latest Ubuntu.). To use a custom .xsession file, create a file. So they don't block!

Halting Problem: April 2013
http://blog.michaelkelly.org/2013_04_01_archive.html
A conspiracy of cartographers, v4.0. Saturday, April 6, 2013. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Very uninteresting install because everything just works by default, with no configuration: USB-to-ethernet dongle, wireless, audio, webcam, microphone, etc. Specific machine is the i7/8GB RAM X1 Carbon:. Sudo dmidecode -s system-version. Sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name. PalmMinWidth and PalmMinZ are cargo-culted from previous configs. They may not be necessary at all.). This part is just a rant:.
