Gentlemint – a mint of manly things
I joined Pinterest and really can’t see much point to it.
“Look at my lovely pictures of things I done seen on that there internet” is what I keep thinking when I login.
Skip the bollocks from losers who think they’re interesting because they found a nice pair of shoes. Look at manly stuff.
Miles better than Mr Tambourine man, or Rocket Man
A long time ago at a keyboard far far away. I made a prediction about the soon to be released iPad. I was wrong about the keyboard thing, although I maintain that Apple were wrong – I was right. The stupid thing needs a keyboard, or at least some PSP/Vita style ThumbNubs©
I have no enthusiasm for burgers and computers, at least not this one. I don’t expect to see much new in the iPad 3 – faster processor, retina display, stereo speakers and perhaps some sort of tie-in with the Apple TV which will no doubt be an existing apple TV built in to a good TV unit and priced at 2 diametrically opposed limbs.
Apple aren’t innovators anymore, they’re a consumer electronics company who also happen to sell a few computers.
I run a subsonic server, which is very useful for streaming music to work or my phone. One of the many cool things (apart from Last.FM logging, video streaming, native iphone & android apps) is the ability to transcode high rate mp3s to save on bandwidth. This used to work well but just started throwing “wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64″ in the log.
It turns out that Subsonic comes with it’s own copies of lame and ffmpeg in /var/subsonic/transcode, naturally these are 32bit versions. The solution is to install ffmpeg and lame (if you haven’t already) and make a link from /usr/bin/ to /var/subsonic/transcode/ for ffmpeg and lame. This will allow subsonic to run the 64bit versions.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame sudo mv /var/subsonic/transcode/lame /var/subsonic/transcode/old_lame sudo mv /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/old_ffmpeg sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lame /var/subsonic/transcode/ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode/
Wonderful
I got myself a domain (again) and moved stuff across, so it all looks pretty much the same. To save my search results I used the following bit of code in .htaccess
