Since I’m getting lazier than ever, I’ll be posting various links I find on internet… Just like what I did few years ago.
moefecth will have feature freeze sometimes this week if there’s no more feature I can think will be useful for this. Version number 0.3 will be bumped to 1.0-beta this Sunday.

Dear internet,
Please stop saying just “ogg” when referring to ogg theora. ogg itself is actually just a container which nobody should ever use except to put audio only, aka ogg vorbis, in it. Using ogg when referring its video component is creating a huge disservice to its audio equivalent because, compared to its video, ogg vorbis actually does make sense, has relatively good quality and supported by some (portable) media player.
It’s gotten worse with recent h264 vs theora buzz in html5 “recommended” video format war. Please spare the poor, sad ogg vorbis from this stupid war.
Sincerely,
edogawaconan
Still waiting for Shana S 2 subbed by proper group. 
On other hand, I’ve started to work on Time of Eve again. Finally.
I’m having problem tracking down broken images. Please inform me if you see any broken images in this site.
So I was messing with my Ubuntu 8.04 installation for hours trying to find the way to connect to VPN with NetworkManager. It used to ‘just work’ in Fedora 12 but doesn’t in Ubuntu. It’s an old version (older than Fedora 12) but it’s supposed to be LTS – Long Term Service and I expect things available in here to be working without problem. The only missing thing should be whatever new features available on later versions.
See, VPN is available. And network-manager-openvpn is available. It should work, right?
No.
Doing anything useful with your network configuration, like, setting static IP, will remove the “VPN Connections” menu from the applet. Surely creating advanced network configuration, like, bridged connection worsen the matter.
After few hours, I decided to see if it’s a general problem… and this I found. Status: confirmed.
Great. 2 years and 5 months unfixed bug. The developers never try their own work? Heh.
I want my time back. I’m so not going to use it from command line – it’s 2010 and I’m not using OpenBSD here (and OpenBSD has easier bridged networking configuration).
If you ask me why I switched to Ubuntu from Fedora – older version no less, the reason is I wanted (and still want) to try OpenVZ. This will be discussed in another post (rant).
3.0-alpha! Woohoo. Talk about walking on minefield. I have no idea whatever has changed in this version though. Apart from its default theme.
So, few days ago my site was defaced. Freakin defaced.
The method is most likely cookie stealing. Don’t ask me how. Basically there’s no access to wp-login.php which means the culprit was somehow able to get my cookie in one way or another. After got into Dashboard, he went to modify one of wp theme available and do some fun.
Thank god there’s backup available by the host provider (yay). Restored from backup and everything went well.
Disabled advertisements since it’s the most suspicious vector.

Also, what is this Google Buzz.
3 months with Windows 7 x64
In short: 64-bit applications are almost non-existent.
A little bit longer:
So, few months ago I decided to try the latest Windows for desktop in its most modern form: Windows 7 x64. It’s 7, and it’s 64-bit. Its modernness can only be rivaled by Windows Server 2008 R2 which only available in 64-bit. The reason is to get the so few percent possible speed improvement in x264.
Fast forward few months, I then noticed that:
Last thing I needed is another reason to move back to 32-bit.
And that comes today: I need (or actually, want) to install coLinux (after trying out on friends’ laptop and seems to be capable of doing what I wanted). It doesn’t have 64-bit support yet. And I don’t think it’ll come anytime soon. So, there – I’m going back to 32-bit.
2009/11/26 – 2010/02/18 (probably the longest I ever used 64-bit Windows.)
