djb stuff on newer ubuntu

Since maybe 9.04 (for sure on 10.4), djb stuff (daemontools, ptyget, ...) does not compile out of the box. The only change needed is to replace, in errno.h,
extern int errno;
with
#include <errno.h>

blogger publish preview broken?

Sometimes, preview doesn't show newlines correctly, like paragraphs are concatenated.

tag doesn't work either.

EDIT: html tags are not escaped in compose mode?

EDIT: as of July 2010, previews are supposed to be accurate (blogger update).

dbus and X forwarding

Under Ubuntu 10.4
It seems some files under ~/.dbus are set to owner root, which causes problems when starting an X application over SSH.

chowning -R ~/.dbus to user seems to fix the problem.

Under Windows 7
PuTTY often crashes when forwarding an X application. Could this be related?

~/.vimrc

set autoindent number
set ts=2
set hlsearch
syntax on
colorscheme darkblue


On Linux, file is ~/.vimrc
On Windows, you put a file named _vimrc in the root of user directory (ex: C:\Users\username).
Also, add something like

behave mswin
set guifont=Lucida_Console:h12:w6.5
set nobackup nowritebackup noswapfile

~/.cshrc

Note: ^[ represents the ESC character (see prompt line).

source ~/.cshrc-alias

vlc

ca fait 2 fois que je me fais fourrer avec vlc

- ma livecam n'a pas d'image quand je tente d'ouvrir un peripherique
  de capture a son nom;
- le desktop recording n'a pas l'air de fonctionner.

EDIT: un cossin trop automatique c'est juste donné le droit d'updater un driver. J'ai rebranché la cam et j'ai maintenant une image invert (AKA je suis bleu). Je ne suis cependant toujours pas capable de rediriger ça dans un file.
