Just voted for gnupg's new logo. My first choice was Tobias Duehr's logo:

Here's the quick recipe (tested on ubuntu edgy):

1. $ sudo apt-get install gs-esp xulrunner

2. Download mozilla2ps-0.3.xulapp and chmtopdf.py

3. $ xulrunner --app-install mozilla2ps-0.3.xulapp /tmp

4. $ ./chmdtopdf -m /tmp/mozilla2ps file.chm

5. You'll get the _file.pdf _ready to be printed (not perfect at all, but almost decent ;) )

Badly Drawn Boy - You were right

Since I'll probably forget in a few days, here's the line I used to rip the audio tracks off of a Live DVD I bought some time ago :

The following will rip audio from Title 1, Chapters 1-23, 192kb

for i in `seq 23`; do echo $i; transcode -i /dev/dvd \




-x dvd -T 1,$i,1 -b 192,0,5,1 -a 0 -y raw \




-m "$i.mp3"; done

I'm on of those poor souls, who still has an old SCO Unix box around. Having the need to compile a bacula-fd client on this box, I'm writing down a couple of notes, because I keep forgetting it everytime I need to upgrade to a newer bacula version (this time it was 1.38.11):

Configure with: LDFLAGS=-pthread ./configure --enable-client-only --disable-conio

You'll get the following errors:

`` After that compilation should end up cleanly (I use a gcc version 2.95 on this box)

Saw Kim Ki-Duk's last work "Shi gan" (Time) today. Odd movie, I'm still digesting it I guess ;)

Set up the new 24" Dell LCD at home. I used a USB to PS/2 converter, so I could still use the old beloved IBM keyboard (old gift from Pat) that goes click click click I was a bit surprised it all worked instantly out of the box (no X.org config files tweaking, no usb-keyboard cursing, ...). Plugged everything in my laptop and got my new work space set up instantly:
