中信局設備選擇器更新「電腦及伺服器 (LP5-960018)(契約期間自96年7月31日起至96年12月31日止)」。

中信局併入台銀之後，網址出現一堆 random number。還好 WWW::Mechanize可以用 regular expression 抓一個網頁的網址。

我用 utf-8 跑 screen，上 bbs 用 :encoding big5 來轉碼。但是裝了新的 screen 中文全變成問號。

trace 一下發現是 configure.in 的問題，問題跟解法我 post 在 screen-devel 上: [screen-devel] bug #20277，希望有人理我 …

後來發現 screen 的 #20277 這個 bug 跟我遇到的一樣。

下午系上演講請了 Sun 的人來，提到 Google Spreadsheets 其實是 OpenOffice!? @@

然後講演中還偷偷婊了 IBM，大概是說，Sun 跟 blah blah 等廠商都同意 follow 某個 open standard，但是 IBM 覺得自己比較強，所以要自己做 XD 最後還幫 Google 廣告，說這是一家不錯的公司，有興趣可以去 Orz

整個演講還滿中肯的。

I add a new feature to debpatch

debpatch is a application to help you patch package in a easy manner, it’ll like to put your patch in to /etc/debpatch/PACKAGE.d/ or prepatch with /etc/debpatch/PACKAGE.prepatch .

But when I wanted to patch a file like /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz , I had to rebuild the whole glibc package”s”, which are a big job. So I added a new feature to replace files during these few days.

So what I have to do now is to put my own UTF-8.gz into /etc/debpatch/locales.d/data/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz and rebuild. That’s it. (Note the “data” directory. Conceptually it can be regarded as the root directory when you install that package)

好一陣子前升級到 urxvt 7.5-1 之後，每次開它都會叫 “urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting.” 結果查不到原因只好 downgrade 回 stable，變成這樣… Orz

剛發現… 問題是上傳的 binary 有問題 %^!#$^#!$%#%$!
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=351371

我工作時通常會 ssh 連回宿舍的電腦的 screen。有時候，例如收信(我用 mutt)收到有附圖檔時，我都得先另存下來再 scp/firefox 去開來看 。因為有 screen 的關係，所以就算用 ssh -X 也沒辦法開。不過當然也可以再開個 terminal 連一個新的 ssh -X。

於是想來惡搞一下，這樣就可以輕鬆地按 enter 開 mutt 的圖檔了 :p

(screen 裡面舊的窗當然還是不能用)

在下列檔案加入..

.xinitrc:

echo $DISPLAY > /tmp/display
chmod 600 /tmp/display

.bash_profile:

if [ "$DISPLAY" ]; then
  echo $DISPLAY > /tmp/display
  chmod 600 /tmp/display
else
  rm -f /tmp/display
fi

.bashrc:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then
  if [ -e /tmp/display ] && [ "$TERM" = "screen" ]; then
    export DISPLAY=`cat /tmp/display`
  fi
fi

Oh, screen has multiuser mode!

My gallery (version 1.5) is running in ML_mode = 2 (which is to detect browser’s Accept-Language for i18n), with it’s locale = zh_TW.utf8 and zh_TW aliased to zh_TW.utf8. But when visit the page, the content will correctly be UTF-8, whereas the “charset” of the HTTP header is Big5. This is my patch, but I’m not sure it’s the correct solution. This is the full bug report.
