Getting ttwebtop to work on Ubuntu

I use tarantella at work, but ttwebtop doesn’t work by default in Ubuntu. After starting up, it isn’t possible to type at all in the text boxes. To fix that, you need to add the following to your bashrc (or init script of choice)

export XKEYSYMDB=/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB

That should work.

Head shot!

Cafeteria entertainment

This happened to me last month. I don’t usually laugh at accents, but I had to struggle to keep a straight face here.

Lift doors

This happened on one of our trips. We were standing in the hotel lift, and I pressed the button to go to our floor. My wife and I stared at each other for a while, feeling slightly out of sorts – something was wrong, but we couldn’t put our finger on it. Then I realized the lift didn’t have a button to close the door instantly, and it took longer than usual for the door to close. We just didn’t have the patience.

Ubuntu 8.04

I finished downloading Hardy Heron today – and I’ve opened every cd case I have, tested every unlabeled cd (and I have lots of those) which didn’t look like it was used, and I still haven’t found a single blank cd. This sucks, I was looking forward to installing it today.

Excercise!

Introducing “A Geeky Life”
