simplephpblog - kiss project of the day

I started this project because I wanted a dead-simple blog. Something that didn't require a database, used flat text files, and looked nice.The main advantage of using Simple PHP Blog is that it only requires PHP 5 (or greater) and write permission on the server. Unlike other blog software, there is almost no setup - just unzip and copy...

microsoft patented crap

We have identified that messages from your IP (127.0.0.1) are being filtered based on the recommendations of the SmartScreen filter.  SmartScreen is the spam filtering technology developed and operated by Microsoft.  SmartScreen is built around the technology of machine learning.  SmartScreen’s filters are trained to recognize what is spam and what isn’t spam.  In short, we filter incoming emails that look like spam.  I am not able to go into any specific details about what these filters specifically entail, as this would render them useless.

[Yah right security by obscurity ]

However, we also base our spam rating on the reputation of the sender.  One way to positively impact the r! eputation of your IP is to obtain SPF/Sender ID records.  This technology allows SmartScreen to better track emails from your IP, weeding out spoofed messages.  You can find additional information on creating SPF records at http://www.microsoft.com/senderid

failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted (on fglrx and ubuntu feisty)

[After installing fglrx with apt-get install apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and replacing nvidia with fglrx in driver section i still had no 3d enabled and my user wasn't allowed to access /dev/dri . So i did an little search on google and got this ]
Then you are trying to run as a user that doesn't have permission to use the DRI (root is the default allowed user). To let all users access the DRI, add the following section to your xorg.conf:
Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

some movies are broken with new mp3lib codecs in mplayer (ubuntu feisty)

If you read the changelog you will see that mp3lib audio codec is now enabled
Add --enable-mp3lib to CONFIGURE_AUDIO_CODECS (LP: #83580). - Remove --disable-mp3lib. This one took some time to find.

I will see if it works with the new update

Here is is how it was decoded in the past (with the big red warning)

Requested audio codec family [mp3] (afm=mp3lib) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 127.7 kbit/9.05% (ratio: 15963->176400)
Selected audio codec: [ffmp3] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG layer-3 audio decoder)
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
Selected video codec: [ffdivx] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg DivX ;-) (MS MPEG-4 v3))

Quote of the day John Krakeur via spiritsoloquest.com

Somany people live within unhappy circumstances yet will not take the initiativeto change their situation because they are conditioned to a life ofsecurity,conformity and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peaceof mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spiritwithin a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's livingspirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounterswith new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have anendlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun
