I finally finished grinding standing with an R&D corp so now I’m free to pursue missions with another corp that I have specifically chosen for their political allegiances and an item in their LP store with a nice LP to ISK conversion rate. Before I embarked on the journey to start my career with this [...]
Last time I was questing my morality as an innocent corporation owner’s plea for surrender was cut off mid-sentence as his headquarters exploded. Today I’m questioning my mentality.
Seems I got a little caught up in purging the earth of democracy loving Gallente at the behest of my hyper-capitalist overlords and my standings with the Gallente [...]

So I am grinding standing with the Caldari Navy with my Industry alt to get rid of the refining tax. I got enough standing to move up an agent, the agent appears under the “available to you” list in the station but when I talk to them … nothing. They tell me to get back [...]
I have a file lying around with instructions for getting around some OpenSolaris issues I’ve ran into lately, they may prove useful to others.
ld: fatal: file /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/lib/crti.o: section .rela.annotate has invalid type [ SHT_RELA ]
ld is trying to do 64-bit linking on a non-64 bit system, do export LD_NOEXEC_64=1 and retry the compile.

I switched to Ubuntu around about April last year, migrating from Debian (and a little bit of Windows). Too many brain-dead decisions* by Canonical since then mean I am looking for a new OS.
I’ve used a number of different systems while testing Rakudo and while choice is a Good ThingTM it is also making this [...]
Much the same as one upgraded from Vista to XP, I upgrade from Karmic to Jaunty today. The workarounds and hacks to fix everything that Just WorkedTM on Jaunty was too much — such as the DNS problem — everything I have tried to far resulted in working DNS but very slow internet, while in [...]
(alternative title: Too Much Time on My Hands, which goes rather nicely with my last Perl 6 post).
So, in the beginning there was lolcats, then there was lolcode, then there was lolsql (jnthn even wrote a parser for it!) and then I took the joke too far and started lolsh, the lol Shell, in Perl [...]
So a company that routinely removes functionality from their operating system, to avoid confusing their poor, helpless users with too many checkboxes and features, ships a release with broken DNS resolving?
I think, from an end-user point-of-view, “not breaking the internet” should be a lot higher up in the scale than helping out people that “don’t [...]
(Sorry for the bad pun).
One of the limitations of Mubot is that if karma is altered multiple times in a message, only the first alteration is actually made. For example, if someone says: John++ Cameron++ Cromartie– Mubot only alters John’s karma (lambdabot would alter all three).
So after I had made the change to fix it, [...]
