Lots of technology crap
Installing Zimbra on CentOS 4.2 requires a very strange modification to
/etc/sysconfig/i18n. It appears to now be able to use UTF-8 encoding. CentOS
4.2 also installed with SELinux by default. Turn that shit off, you don't need
it you paranoid weirdo!
The Linux IP Virtual Server is good, but overkill for something as simple as
incoming load balancing. iptables or better yet, OpenBSD's Packet Filter is much better.
VMWare is giving away the beta of their net Server product. Installing
proprietary software on Linux is not cool. But I'm doing it anyway. Fuck. It
installs without errors on Debian stable. The kernel headers and compiler tools
are required to build the tainted modules.
The Palm Treo is badass. Web browser, IMAP(S) client, camera, notepad,
telephone...hell SSH client! Still haven't figured out how to sync calendar,
tasks and contacts to Zimbra.

Weekend wrap up...a day late.
The
Edvard
Munch exhibit at MoMA is excellent. Strangely enough, they don't allow
any cellular phones to be visible in the gallery. I discovered
this as I tried to type some text notes about the pieces on my new Palm Treo.
The usher told me it wasn't allowed and I showed him my text. He wouldn't
budge. Strange, considering most of the works in the exhibit were over 100
years old. It reminded me of a piece by Cory Doctorow in Make 05 where he
argues that photography of master works of art should be part of our world
heritage and not put under this strange kind of copyright control. There is a
discussion of the article
online but you'll have to subscribe to the magazine to read it.
On the ride to MoMA, I decided to take 1st ave uptown instead of the Queensboro
or east side bike path. It was exceptionally fast. It reminded me of
an article
I read by John Forester.
And then on to
Union
Pool to relax. If you haven't been there, it's great in
the winter because there's a fire pit in the back yard.

It's fucking cold. For real.
This is my new
link
section, where I don't write that much but only talk
about the things I did and link to them.
If you haven't heard, it's fucking cold in New York right now. When you bike
everywhere you really feel it but in a different way then the chumps walking on
the street or taking the subway, you feel it in, like, a pain way. All of you bikers in the
city, get this
Pearl
Izumi face mask.
After using the face mask to great lengths, I arrived at
Hotel QT for a
birthday party. It was stupid but fucking hell, there's a pool in the bar!
Prior to that I ate dinner at
Zen Palate. If you go upstairs,
it's just like the part in Kill Bill where all the Yakuza guys get chopped up
by The Bride. Oh yeah, and the food is vegan and
awesome!
And finally, go to see
Harry and the Potters perform. You won't be
disapointed.
