Grandstanding

Filed under: Politics — Hoosier @ 8:56 am

And I thought the flyboy act on the carrier was disgusting. This is just revolting:
“Or, and this is a real possibility, we could see President Bush giving his acceptance speech at Ground Zero,” he added. “It’s clearly a venue they’re considering.”
As if I needed another reason not to vote for Dubya.

abstinence?

Filed under: Politics — Hoosier @ 10:30 pm

So, abstinence is going to pay off, huh?
Not to imply that parents shouldn’t be taking some responsibility for this kind of thing, but can’t schools at least give some education other than ‘don’t do it’.

amavisd-new

Filed under: Housing — Hoosier @ 4:16 pm

When installing amavisd-new on Gentoo with McAfee’s uvscan, you need to install:

  • Before you emerge amavisd-new (which installs clamav), emerge dev-libs/gmp, as mentioned in the clamav FAQ
  • This patch to Net::Server
  • emerge libcompat

That is all.

More Firefox

Filed under: Housing — Hoosier @ 3:32 pm

So, I’ve been chasing this annoying bug where Firefox will use the Windows Media Player 6.4 plugin instead of the WMP 9 one. Then it only gets the decoders from WMP 6.4, not all the spiffy new ones from WMP 9.
Well, seems I should have been searching the mozillazine forums more, as it’s answered on this page.

Of course, these come with their own set of bugs: #193883, #201843.

perl code

Filed under: Personal — Hoosier @ 10:45 pm

I’m working on a webform to compare the tax impacts of various levels of 403(b) deductions. And I can tell its been some time since I wrote any perl or even any web forms. But, I’m using some cool data structures:

my %monthly = (
        single  => [ 26767, 12392, 5708, 2567,  808, 221, 0 ],
        married => [ 27175, 15463, 9838, 5396, 1858, 667, 0 ],
        );

Hopefully I’ll get this figured out in the next couple nights.

Cool Picture

Filed under: Misc — Hoosier @ 10:44 am

One of the coolest pictures I’ve seen of the USS Arizona, it’s amazing what an ‘all hands on deck’ tribute can do.
