Gentoo isn't for me...

I tried to install Gentoo but gave up. I used a stage3 tarball but I guess I’m not as interested in compiling and configuring packages like I once was. I’m still pretty satisfied with Debian, I just wanted to try Gentoo. Maybe I should just update my system to Debian Sid? :D

Air Conditioning and Circuit Breakers

  1. Can leaving your AC on for a long time cause your circuit breakers to trip?
  2. Can turning your AC on and off (a few times?) cause your circuit breakers to trip?

I’m thinking it could have been a faulty part. Could it have been faulty due to misuse?

It could also possibly be due to physical impact on the compressor. Who could have done that?

These are just thoughts that I have because I seem to remember that the AC units at our old office in Vernida were almost always on. Someone correct me if I’m wrong…

I find it rather weird for non-technical people to point out that we were the ones who caused the problem without even understanding what the problem is.

You “abused” the AC. Now it’s broken (for some reason that is not clear yet). It’s clearly your fault.

Uhh…

Remote Editing

Using Emacs on my Mac is kind of slow. I’ve spent some time looking for an alternative and I think I’ve finally settled on using Cyberduck+Smultron. I tried Textmate, it looks/feels good and all that but it’s a bit expensive for me right now. I might try it again some time soon, though.

Python-MySQLdb: mysql_insert_id()? Use cursor.lastrowid instead :) →

WoW: Which healing class?

  • Druid - I already have one but I prefer not to play it to heal (although he’s not yet 80). I don’t want to spend my time healing looking like the same tree for the rest of my WoW days… -_-
  • Paladin - I’m seriously considering this class. Having a tanking tree is a plus.
  • Priest - I’m also seriously considering this class.
  • Shaman - Maybe. Also, probably only if I’m gonna play Horde.

Are there any medium/large-sized Filipino/Asian Horde guilds looking for more people? :D

Digitel's DSL

…is so messed up during peak hours.

Back on my Mac

Wowhead seems to work fine now on Firefox 3.0.8! Going back to using FF now instead of Camino. :)

Gonna leave Debian for a while and will start working on my Mac…

Back on GNU/Linux

  • ASUS Eee PC 701 4G Surf
  • Debian Lenny
  • XFCE4
  • Screen
  • GNU Emacs
  • Iceweasel

Feels great! I just can’t seem to get the wifi working but I guess I can manage. :D

Digitel's DSL service is broken...

On mornings, everything seems to work fine. However, when I try to do web stuff or play WoW on evenings, everything starts to become frustrating to do… I’m not sure why. It wasn’t like this before.

Wowhead is borked in FF on my Mac...

I’m not sure why, exactly, but I guess I’ll have to use Safari for Wowhead now… /sigh

  • FF 3.0.7 (upgraded from a very old beta build of FF 3)
  • Mac OS X 10.5.6

Custom 404 for web.py

Use this line in your code:

web.webapi.notfound = lambda : web.webapi.NotFound("Document not found: " + web.url())

Use your imagination for using your own templates and such. :)

Blueprint: A CSS Framework →

I should remember to try this out some time soon.
