Google is, actually, one of my top three disliked companies. The other two are Microsoft and Adobe. Why I dislike Microsoft and Adobe is a post for another day, but today I would like to talk about Google. Believe it or not, I will explain this without ONCE saying any personal bad experiences with Google’s [...]
People that have known me for a while know three things. Firstly, they know me (well, duh). Secondly, they know that I know Chinese. Thirdly, they know that I just lied, I know how to pretend I know Chinese – actually I suck pretty darn bad at it. In fact, I suck at the whole [...]
I recently watched a video linked by a person called Florentyna Leow on Twitter (@heroin_e). I suggest you click the link and watch it yourself. It concerns how we’re “educating” ourselves out of creativity, and all just due to what we believe is important around us in this world. I’ve sat through quite a good [...]
Before I begin my post, I’d like to apologise to all the Planet Larry readers for the 10 hours or so of downtime I caused sometime yesterday. I don’t always break things, and that borkage was, well – quite unintended. For the technically inclined, basically I had set some .htaccess restrictions on another domain which [...]
Well, if you’re out and about quite a bit and you run a Linux computer at home, you should have a good relationship with SSH. If you’ve never felt the need to access your home computer remotely, this is what you should do. For those that don’t know what SSH is, it is basically a [...]
Update: As of 27th August the buildbot now provides 64-bit builds. Thanks Jeff The other day I was surfing the web and read an article about Google Chrome in some sort of hacking competition – this then prompted me to check out Google’s progress on porting Google Chrome to Linux and Mac. For those that [...]
Remember the milk? What an awesome name for my newly discovered service. Just yesterday I was poking around the my newly installed KDE 4.3beta (4.2.85) and I came across the “Remember The Milk” plasmoid hiding in the kdeplasma-addons package in the kde-testing overlay. That was the beginning of about 2 hours or so spent discovering [...]
As some might know, Blender is an open-source 3D content creation application – it’s cross-platform, a pioneer in the free 3D application market, and I use it. Not only do I use it, love it, and hang out in the #blenderchat IRC channel on freenode, I host the Blender Model Repository, taking over from Andrew [...]
Ratpoison. It sounds like something that kills a rat. It sure does. Ratpoison is a WM (Window Manager) that runs on Linux that has one purpose: to kill your rat. Here we are referring to that disgusting little lump beside your keyboard that shoots lasers out of its arse. Ratpoison is a tiling WM, which [...]
Imagine a computer system that was semantic. For those unaffiliated with this concept, this is similar to having your computer understand you as a human would. This is often easier to explain through examples. For example, when you click that spot on the screen, that’s because you want to achieve something. The computer understands what [...]
I’m about to go through 5 weeks of exams, the first starting this coming Wednesday. This is normally the time when I finalise the list of what I plan to do over the summer holidays. Here’s what’s on my list: Finish off the POSE2 Project. Work on The ThoughtScore Project animation (hopefully finding some local [...]
Warning: long post. All lazy readers must hide now. In my original post about the practicality of open source business models, I talked about the differences in Kaizen and Kakushin, how they were used, their benefits and disadvantages, and how each could be used to our benefit. In this post, I have decided to go [...]
