So I found that my super key was not a modifier key in GNOME today, but rather a standalone key. THis was unacceptable. To change it, I did this:
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Options -> Alt/Win Key Behavior -> Super is mapped to Win-Keys
Now, I can change my shortcuts to not be stupid.

I wanted some places to get pinged when I posted. I used the mephisto_post_ping plugin, I simply changed the directory structure and class definition around:
./lib/article_ping_observer.rb
./lib/mephisto_plugins/post_ping.rb
./lib/config.rb
./README
./init.rb
# $Id$ require 'mephisto_plugins/post_ping' ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :article_ping_observer
module Mephisto module Plugins class PostPinger < Mephisto::Plugin author 'Mark Guzman' version '$Rev: 82 $'.gsub( "Rev: ", "" ) notes "Send Weblogs Pings when articles are published" homepage "http://hasno.info/2006/11/11/mephisto-plugins" class Schema < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.install end def self.uninstall end end end end end
That’s all I changed. This is my first post since the change, so I’ll see if it works. If not, at least Mephisto doesn’t blow up on startup.
Well,
unable to send xmlrpc weblog ping -> http://www.ralree.info
unable to send xmlrpc weblog ping -> http://www.ralree.info
unable to send xmlrpc weblog ping -> http://www.ralree.info
unable to send xmlrpc weblog ping -> http://www.ralree.info
Seems like a couple might have worked. I’ll keep working on it. But, at least it gets called.

Well, I finally got this damn blog working thanks to bish0p. Turns out that you have to change the shebang line from
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
to
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
Ahh typo is nice. Other crap I learned today:
Problems with typo themes generating application errors can be solved by changing this line in layouts/default.rhtml
<%= render_component(:controller => 'sidebars/sidebar', :action => 'display_plugins') %>
To this:
<%= render_sidebar %>
Thanks to This dude.
I generated a new GPG keypair today (Public Key). Get it like this:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 46C171A0
I also integrated into Pine, which makes it simple to send signed/encrypted email.
I’m still struggling with Ruby/SVN bindings by kou. They are completely undocumented, so I have been trying to analyze the tests that are included in the svn source. Apparently, Collaboa is using them in their rails app. I will have to take a look at their code, and hopefully it will shed some light on the subject.
I upgraded phpGedView today, so it’s a secured. Home directory cleaning ensued, and now my mod0 space is much more efficiently used.
I jumped back into the old Afternet #trivia chan tonight, after about 10 minutes of trying to remember what network it was on. I had some trouble with BitchX autoignoring the triviabot, so I googled a fix for it:
# To Add someone:
/addnoflood nickname
# To list:
/addnoflood
Yay - now I can use the bot in peace. I better dump the commands so if I ever go back I don’t have to flood the chan trying to remember everything:
To play, just watch for Weirdbot to ask questions, and type in the answer.

I started trading for real today. It’s a big step, and from now on my taxes will be harder to do.
