But I was still kept in prison until my case came to court." […]

- Life on Lockdown: See-Through Gadgets, DIY Media, No Internet"The California Department of Corrections allows inmates to have many different electronic entertainment gizmos, from TVs to radios to CD players, but every one must be ready for a close inspection at any time.

Using an EyeToy under Linux
Updated: see end of entry. One thing that has impressed me with Gnome over the past year or so has been the improvement in the ease of setup of random peripherals. The fruits of “Project Utopia” (udev/Hal/DBUS) mean that plugging in most bits of hardware seems to do something very close to an approximation of “the right thing”. Now, [...]
You wanted which magazine?
Something from Grant Morrison’s Pop Magic! popped into my head when I was in the newsagent today. The first person to create and launch a mass-market glossy magic magazine for young women will become as rich in the first decade of 21c, as the creators of Loaded magazine became in the last decade of 20c. [...]
University Challenged
I just walked into the flat, and my flatmate was watching University Challenge. One of the starter questions was to name the fashion designer who designed Dredd’s costume in the movie version of Judge Dredd. “Gianni Versace”, I say with confidence. “Jean-Paul Gaultier” claims Paxman.”No! Not Gaultier, Versace!” I shout… at the television. To the [...]
Random hardware
I was given a brand-new iPod shuffle this weekend (thanks Che!). Not only do I now get the fresh experience of owning technology that’s not already considered obsolete, I also haven’t owned a piece of personal stereo technology since the crappy generic-brand personal cassette player I had when I was 13. While I’m not a Apple design fetishist, it is [...]
Networking UML under Debian
I recently needed to setup the networking on a Debian box with three network cards on three different networks, each assigned three IP addresses – two of which would be assigned to taps for UML hosts. It was actually a little more complex that I was expecting. Of the few configuration examples I’ve seen on the web, none [...]
Creating Debian apt backup CDs
It’s nearing the end of the year and the annual festival of dumping data to CD, possibly in advance of the traditional New Year Computer Reinstallation celebration. Of course, if you’re tracking Debian unstable or testing you probably don’t have full installation CDs. These are too dynamic to make it worth creating full CD installation sets. Usually buring a [...]
By the order of MANDAMUS!
Checking the spam bin today, I came across an interesting, and new to me development in the Nigerian scam (in which “cleared” checks later bounce). I’ve seen the Dutch lottery wins and those goofy widow-of-deposed-general emails for a while now. But the emails from Vincent Gravens are the next step in the scam’s evolution. The email you receive [...]
Ate some intense waffles.
My favourite part of The Rules of Attraction is the high speed European-vaction video-postcard that introduces Victor. (A full length version, Glitterati, is expected next year.) I found transcripts of both the movie version and original Bret Easton Ellis book version from an idle web search. Then I added some wikipedia love for no apparent [...]
Gmail doesn’t like me
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that every email I received from a gmail user came via a secondary MX rather than being delivered directly to the primary. If there’s no operational problems with the mailserver in question delivery via secondaries usually occurs for one of two reasons A) it’s a spammer attempting to bypass some anti-spam measures; [...]
