Free Software for Windows

I risk to state the obvious, but here it goes: if you are trying to compile MySQL in order to be able to build the recent versions of Amarok, do not forget to configure the former –with-embedded-server support (run configure –help in the source directory to see all the options).

Depending on which holiday/s you celebrate, you may find family traditions such as gift-giving sneaking up on you all too quickly. A couple of things to remember as you search for ways to create special holiday experiences…

First, attending performances together with family and friends can yield the greatest gift of all: memories.

Second, every gift matters–and seemingly small actions taken by a multitude of people can have a huge impact.

“Never doubt,” reflected American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978), “that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Well with the new year just around the corner it seems like everybody is producing a list of something. So instead of posting something useless like the top 10 biggest developments in sporting equipment in the last 10 years, I decided I would put together a list of my top 10 most useful PC applications. If  you were looking for a list on sports equipment sorry to disappoint.

First you have to mount a medium on which we are going to install the Debian system. Generally, you have two options:

• Using a USB Flash drive:

  ## MAKE SURE THAT YOU UPDATE THIS
  $ export ROOTDEV=/dev/sdc1
  $ sudo mkfs.ext3 $ROOTDEV
  $ sudo tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 $ROOTDEV
  $ export MNTPOINT=/mnt/diskimage
  $ sudo mount $ROOTDEV $MNTPOINT

• Using a Qemu image:

  $ export MNTPOINT=/mnt/diskimage
  $ export IMGFILE=hd0.img
  $ sudo mount -o loop,offset=32256 "$IMGFILE" $MNTPOINT

Once we have the medium mounted at $MNTPOINT, we can proceed with installing Debian there and configuring it for Bifferboard:

A word of advice to EEE users: If you’re in Advanced Desktop Mode, DO NOT upgrade all packages in Synaptic. (I know, if you don’t use an eee or some Linux system only 25% of the words in that sentence mean anything. I know.) Because it will cause your eee to go into a boot loop which you do not have sufficient knowledge to fix, even with a free morning and lots of googling, and you will have to restore your computer to factory settings and lose all the emails you’ve received in the past six weeks, including ones with audition dates and bookers’ emails and reference letters in them.

Because I really, really should have known better, this being about the 4th time I’ve done this exact thing, I’m not that pissed off. And my inbox was getting awfully full and unwieldly anyway, and I don’t need any reference letters right now. And the only audition I have coming up is on February 4. And I have that booker’s email address written down somewhere else.

Notice the animal motif:
