I’ve been using the maven eclipse plugin m2eclipse for a long while now and recently upgraded a couple of my eclipses to the 0.10 version. All told, it’s better than the previous version of m2eclipse.
Of course as I write this, I try to set up another eclipse instance and it fails to load a pom. So close.
Timothy Treadwell loved bears. In the name of loving them, with a stalwart sense of the innate sanctity of his mission, he continuously abused them for thirteen years. Time and again from 1989 until 2003 he invaded their territory — startling them, scaring them, angering them. Interrupting their hunting, their mating, their sleep, their play, he would coo sweet nothings at them in a flamboyant, high-pitched whine. He gave the savage beasts silly names like Lulu, Cupcake, Daisy, Ginger, Booble, and Mr. Chocolate, robbing them of their natural dignity. He firmly believed he was their protector, and unleashed torrents of self-righteous hatred upon anyone who dared question his treating of one-thousand-pound predators as if they were cute cuddly teddy bears. Handsome and charismatic, yet narcissistic and naïve, filled with honest caring, yet a smooth liar thoroughly at home in delusion, he became a constant danger both to himself and to everything he loved, ever on the verge of instigating a sudden volcanic eruption of nightmarish unintended consequences.
In short, Timothy Treadwell was a perfect liberal. He loved bears, with all his heart.
And then one ate him.
Argh, ‘automated upgrade’ my ass. I hope my blog still works.
We’ve been deceived by a stroke of luck. In the two million years during which we climbed from stone-tool wielding Homo erectus with sloping brows to high-foreheaded Homo urbanis, man the inventor of the city, we underwent 60 glaciations, 60 ice ages. And in the 120,000 years since we emerged in our current physiological shape as Homo sapiens, we've lived through 20 sudden global warmings. In most of those, temperatures have shot up by as much as 18 degrees within a mere 20 years.
If you’re running eclipse galileo SR1 on linux along with ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala), then you MUST launch the eclipse script with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 set.
Change blindness. One of the many ways our brain is so damned complex.
If you’re just interested in whether the currently running system is 32 or 64 bit, then ‘uname -m’ will tell you either i686 or x86_64 depending on whether you have 32 or 64 bit cpu.
Unfortunately if you want to know if the system *could* be 64 bit, you need to check the cpu flags. The flag ‘rm’ means its 16 bit, ‘tm’ means 32 bit, and ‘lm’ is 64 bit.
`grep flags /proc/cpuinfo`
rm: real mode, 16 bit
tm: transparent mode, 32 bit
lm: long mode, 64 bit
Awesome parking at the basketball game.
And baby
Now that my kind wife has reenabled my mobile internet for me, it’s time to try out mobile wordpress again.
