I’ve had to reinstall my debian server, and i couldn’t remember how to enable mod_rewrite….grrr well to be honest wasn’t to hard to find 
I love the internet
root@xen-web:~# a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.
root@xen-web:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Forcing reload of web server: Apache2.
All is good in the world

I’m pissed off…..coming into work today i ripped my jacket, it was the one i was supposed to take to America…..fat chance now, i’ll have to get another……sometimes i think there is someone out there that doesn’t like me, but seeing as i don’t believe in all that shite it’s not that…..must be just me being clumsy…..grrrrrrr
Myself and a group of friends have started our very own gaming clan, we’re playing counter strike source. It’s all in the infancy stages at the moment, but we have a website http://www.cow-clan.co.uk and our own irc channel #cow-clan on irc.freenode.net, come along and say hello We’re nice and friendly…well most of us
I make it about 17 days before i go to New York, and to be honest i’m rather looking forward to it. It’s wierd, i’ve not planned what we’re doing there around all the landmarks, ie empire state, ground zero etc but rather were i can eat I think my wife might have something to say on that one
i find it particularly amuzing that the flight is at 9am, lasts for 8 hours and we arrive at midday…aint timezones great.
People have been recommending that i don’t go to sleep when i get there to limit the jet lag effect, so we’re planning a night visit to the Empire state building, if you don’t know it’s 80 floors up one lift, then you have to change lifts and go up another 6 on a different one….kewl
We got married in October and it’s really our honeymoon, think the wife would let me meet up with some of the Ubuntu NY Loco for a beer? Nah didn’t think so
Yesterday i bought a copy of Vista OEM it was cheap and installed it, i use a few windows apps that don’t work under linux using wine, or they don’t have native linux versions. To be honest i do like windows vista, but one thing i’m not really keen on is it’s speed. There always appears to be a lot of disk activity, i could track it down, but can’t be really bothered it’s not effecting things too much.
I do have Linux dual booting with Vista, as there are only a few apps that i need windows for, the day to day things i’ll still use Linux.
Some days, i think why the hell i use Windows, and other it’s me moaning about Linux i don’t think there will ever be an OS that i totally rave about…
Oh yeah, i’m at work till midnight and that sucks….
“oh that’s nice”……”it’s a poodle”……”I like it ”
The more i play with software the more i actually love it, i’ve sat down at my computer recently and rather than just read websites, i’ve actually started looking at applications. In this case it’s f-spot. I wondered if there was an easy way to export photos from it to flickr which i've just started using. Well guess what there is It’s as simple as File —> Export —> To flickr
How simple is that I’ve even added a plugin to wordpress that shows the last 6 photos added….isn’t FOSS ace
** Update **
For the wordpress flickr integration, i used Flickrrss
Sorry to spam the planet and everywhere else that has my blog, but if you’re in need of a job and are near Nottingham, check these out?
The command is easy enough, so tell my why it works on every other distro i’ve played with, but not Fedora 8.
root@localhost Desktop# mount -t cifs //10.10.10.250/files /mnt -o user=paul,password=xxxxxx
The error i get is :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //10.10.10.250/files, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try dmesg | tail or so
And the dmesg report is :
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
Well that’s all very clear….not.
Right off to Buzill
** UPDATE**
Submitted my first bug report to bugzilla, i hope i got it right and don’t get to many “it’s actually fixes in big xxxx” or “RTFM”
** UPDATE **
Well even though it’s not obvious, it appears you need samba-client installed, don’t i feel stupid :s Apologies for the Jeff, who’s time i wasted with this one.
er well er that lasted about 30 mins, i just couldn’t use it any more, is it actually finished? Where are all the config options? Can you actually configure anything? Why is it slow? When you add an icon to your desktop, can you stop it having that transparent black background?
I’m sorry the list goes on, it’s just not for me. I think i’ll wait for KDE10.
