Two Virgins

I think I’ve worked out what a “real woman” is (at least in the current “thin women aren’t real” crap that’s been going on)… photoshop free. Thin or fat, in many a skin tone… unmodified and left alone.

I was always more of a Harrison gal myself though. ^_^

the_angry_angel: OpenSSH 5.4: Great Scott!

the_angry_angel — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:23:30 +0000

One point twenty one jiggawatts! Yesterday (March 8, 2010) the OpenSSH project released version 5.4 and naturally will start hitting the various distributions and platforms soon, and again there are some great things to be interested in:

Although many distributions of OpenSSH have SSH1 disabled, the project is now shipping with SSH1 disabled by default.
There is the ability to revoke keys (host and user) in both sshd and ssh.
Netcat mode connects stdio on the client to a single port forward on the server. For example the following would connect to smtp.server.example.org on port 25, and redirect the output to stdio on my client side. Useful if you need to test connectivity to a mail server, but can't from your direct location, but can from your SSH server (my.ssh.server.example.org). ssh -W smtp.server.example.org:25 my.ssh.server.example.org That has pretty much bags of possibilities, ranging from simple connection tests to piping a file to a remote server that you can't get to directly.
sftp-server has gained a read only mode!
Passphrase-protected SSH2 private keys are now protected with AES-128 instead of 3DES. This counts if you reencrypt your key or create a new one.

So when Ree Drummond gives a specific command in her recipes, she absolutely means it. No shenanigans. Or you’ll end up like me and this raspberry cobbler mess.

Yeah, even down to the type of cream… I’ve made the potato bundles many times now and decided to use single cream instead of double cream/heavy cream when making them for my mother - alas, everything comes out curdled. Fail. I unfortunately have a boyfriend with a dairy allergy/intolerance (it acts like an intolerance but he reacts to the skin test as well, so it’s an allergy I think) so I really need to be careful when I use butter/cream in cooking.

Infection Defense May Spur Alzheimer’s

The new hypothesis got its start late one Friday evening in the summer of 2007 in a laboratory at Harvard Medical School. The lead researcher, Rudolph E. Tanzi, a neurology professor who is also director of the genetics and aging unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, said he had been looking at a list of genes that seemed to be associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

To his surprise, many looked just like genes associated with the so-called innate immune system, a set of proteins the body uses to fight infections. The system is particularly important in the brain, because antibodies cannot get through the blood-brain barrier, the membrane that protects the brain. When the brain is infected, it relies on the innate immune system to protect it.

For more information about amyloid beta and Alzheimer’s, go to my post here. If this is true (that amyloid beta is a defense mechanism and not part of the problem), it would really change the way we study and try to treat Alzheimer’s. There was a “vaccine” against amyloid beta plaques that would have been the vaccine against Alzheimer’s, but in clinical trials, it did not significantly help those that received it in the early stages as far as cognitive decline or time to death went. If these researchers are right about their new theory, that could help explain why.

3 My project is modelling ß-sheets, which self assemble into amyloids. I just need to er, stop being ill and get on with it.

Valve is known for making quality first-person shooters: The Half-Life series redefined how players think about the FPS genre, while titles like Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead took team-oriented multiplayer action to a whole new level. But among Valve’s stable of popular shooters, one game stands alone: the mind-bending puzzler, Portal. A small-scale experiment that was squeezed into 2007’s The Orange Box alongside some powerful heavyweights, the love Portal received from fans was beyond anything Valve could have imagined, winning it a full-fledged, standalone sequel. Our 12-page cover story gives you the first details on Portal 2’s new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.

Well, that was awesome.

My favourites:

David Bowie, Yves Saint Laurent and Lou Reed (Although Eastwood did have sunglasses of win)…

Interestingly, men mainly make their clothes awesome by being awesome. There are precious few female examples of this trait (Beth Ditto, Sue Blackmore, Thatcher - yes I put that one out there. *awaits insults*). It reminds me of a little “pep talk” from Trinny & Susannah where they say that no one will “see” the amazing, unique woman beneath if they have scuffed shoes, tight clothes or super-red lipstick - sod that, I say. Wear what you want and be awesome, and then suddenly you’ll find people copying you.

Ashley: An Easy Salad

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:52:48 +0000

This was originally posted on Monday, 30th July 2007 at 17:15 on whatever blog software I was using then (Wordpress I think).

This recipe is for real beginners, and is also tailored to those with motor control difficulties.

I’ve included it here unedited as you may like it. My knowledge and writing style has got better since then so a rewrite will probably happen soon:

No, not a shampoo. I posted a variant of this this on the dyspraxic adults forum, and it was fairly well received. This is real beginner food - more assembly of ingredients, I would say. (don’t worry people, I will post some more intermediate type things later!)

Summer Dinner Salad.

Cooked meat: chicken and/or sausages work well, so does bacon. What meat you use depends on your skill with a knife: if you want to avoid knives altogether, use chicken and pull it apart with your hands. Use two sausages per person, or one chicken breast per person, but this is not strict.

Green things: Cos lettuce is traditional, as this is a variant of “chef’s salad”. It’s also pretty good in that you do one cut along the bottom and then tear it apart with your hands. Baby spinach is also excellent for this, as it requires no cutting at all! About half of those giant bags you get in supermarkets - the rest is great for sandwiches, or eggs.

Tomatoes: these are better cut, but if you can’t, cherry tomatoes are excellent. Don’t worry about cutting into small pieces unless you can. Add as much as you like!

About 30-40g of cheese per person, ready grated, or cut into cubes if you like.

Tomato and Basil salad dressing.

Black Pepper, if desired.

1. Prepare the cooked meat, the green things and the tomatoes, when you finish each one place in a big bowl all together as you go along. Weigh the cheese and add it.

2. Add some dressing. Stir a little. Keep adding dressing and mixing a little with your hands until everything looks like it has lots of dressing (if you add too much it’s not a huge problem here!).

3. Add some black pepper if you like a bit of punch. Tips:- Taste the dressing before you add it to get an idea what it will taste like.

• Use cherry tomatoes and sausages and take away the dressing and add a small amount of mustard instead. Add some new potatoes. This makes a nice warm meal..

So we had Þorrablót yesterday. For those of you which do not know what this is, it’s the traditional icelandic midwinter feast where a lot of original viking dishes are being served. And those dishes are really tough. For a start, there’s sheep head (Svið) and sheep testicles (Hrútspungur). These do actually taste a lot better than one might expect… as long as the strong smell of the putrefied shark (Hákarl) has not taken away all your senses by then (my clothes still smell from it, after having them out on the balcony for about 12 hours now).

Just make sure that you have a decent supply of Brennivin with you. Your stomach will long for it after you had those dishes; and it brings you into the right mood for dancing through the remaining night, which is definitely the more enjoyable part of the celebration.

Keith: eggdrop with threaded TCL.

nospam@example.com (Keith Ward) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:33:26 +0000

OK, So i've been forced to have to set up an eggdrop -- what a ball ache!

Both ubuntu and Debian are now shipping a threaded version of TCL, unfortunately this mean eggdrop doesn't work, as for some reason it fails to detect properly if tcl is compiled as threaded.

It appears to start, but won't connect to a server properly, and won't allow you to telnet to it either.

Appears the easiest solution (from http://eggwiki.org/Threaded_Tcl) is after running ./configure. edit config.h and find #undef HAVE_TCL_THREADS, and change it to #define HAVE_TCL_THREADS 1

If you have allready compiled the eggdrop once, run make clean to clean out the compiled stuff, and then compile as normal (make && make install), and that should fix it, at least it has for me!

Not sure if/when the configure script is going to be fixed tho.

If you've ever wanted to clear the contents of a file quickly, without breaking anything hooked into a file (useful for large files), look no further than the truncate command provided by the coreutils package.

CODE:

truncate -s 0 fileame

Instantly Shrinks the file to 0 bytes, and maintains anything associated with it.

Just be careful you don't accidently clear a file by accident, as theres no way to reverse, and it doesn't prompt you to confirm your selection

SIR-Millar: Thecus 8800 sequential I/O performance

Andy Millar — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:50:48 +0000

For those who are interested, I ran a handful of i/o tests over a Thecus 8800 over the last couple of days and have some graphs to prove it!

All tests were run using iSCSI over a single GigE link.

Sequential Read

#!/bin/bash
 
DISK=/dev/sda
BS="1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096"
 
for I in $BS; do
	echo "--- BEGIN BS=$I ---"
	dd if=$DISK of=/dev/null bs=${I}k \
		count=$(echo "21474836480/$I/1024" | bc)
	echo "---  END BS=$I  ---"
done

Sequential Write

#!/bin/bash
 
DISK=/dev/sda
BS="1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096"
 
for I in $BS; do
	echo "--- BEGIN BS=$I ---"
	dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK bs=${I}k \
		count=$(echo "21474836480/$I/1024" | bc)
	echo "---  END BS=$I  ---"
done

Oddly the sequential read performance is worse than the sequential write. I have a ticket open with Thecus regarding this.

We have a Thecus 8800PRO coming at some point soon, which I am planning to play with using 10GigE. We’ll see how she does there.

SIR-Millar: A more efficient (and customizable) way to eat RAM

Andy Millar — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:48:59 +0000

Tom White has kindly pointed out that this isn’t the most efficient way of eating RAM; mainly as the Linux kernel doesn’t actually allocate a physical page when you malloc a block of RAM, merely create a mapping in the virtual address table.

The physical page is only actually allocated when the block of RAM you have allocated is used. Below is the new and improved tool:

eatRam.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
 
#define ALLOC_SIZE 1024
 
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
 
        int i;
        void *ptr;
 
        if (argc == 1) return 1;
 
        i = 0;
 
        while ((atoi(argv[1]) == 0) || (i < atoi(argv[1]))) {
                ptr = malloc(ALLOC_SIZE);
                memset(ptr, 0, ALLOC_SIZE);
                i++;
        }
        printf("Allocated. Press ENTER to terminate...");
        fgetc(stdin);
        return 0;
}

Compile:

gcc -o eatRam eatRam.c

Usage:

./eatRam [ 0 | (amount to use in KB) ]

You can also specify 0 to make it use all available RAM.
