It's an updateacopia today. Here's some random crap I've been meaning to post for a while. I probably would have droned on for like 10,000 words on each one. So you've been saved...
I've always wondered what that little ridge from the bottom of the nose to the upper lip is called. I found out recently. It's called the philtrum.
If you're looking for windows utilities that can fit on a floppy, look at tinyapps.org. They have tons of little gadgets. I thought it'd be cool to make a bootable CD-R with some of these things. Write up a batch file that makes a RAM disk and installs lots of stuff to it and you'd have a nice utilities CD.
Jabber has its own book now. I thought the MP3 book was silly. I guess it could help if you wanted to re-write a chat system for in-house use or something...
Red Hat has a really nice customization guide for Red Hat 7.2. I'd never seen it before. I could have used one of these like five years ago. It pretty much has everything that you'd need to get a RH7.2 box running. I was looking for a quick guide to NFS. I just wanted to set up one mount right quick and didn't feel like reading through the history of distributed computing. I happened across the site and was up and running fast.
You can use this as your /etc/hosts file and not see some banner ads and whatnot. Seems to work so far.
BestCrypt is really cool.
When I need to set up my new kernel, or I get a new video card, I'll look at the NVIDIA + AGPGART Nano HOWTO.
