By adding rootdelay=10 to the kernel boot options the system will wait for ten seconds before activating LVM partitions giving the USB subsystem enough time to activate all devices.

Update The green key is also mapped to ESC ;).

Update: To advertise PLAIN authentication with exim4 for connections origination from localhost I used the following statement in my plaintext authentication configuration (broken into several lines for better readability):

server_advertise_condition =
 ${if or
  {
   {!eq{$tls_cipher}{}
  }
  {
   eq{$interface_address}{127.0.0.1}}
  }
  {yes}{no}
 }

That way plaintext auhentication is allowed for TLS sessions or unencrypted sessions originating from localhost.

Using stunnel and a default ssmtp configuration I can now send mails from my mobile phone.

openssl x509 -outform der -in ca.pem -out ca.der

transfering the new file to the phone and opening it with the file manager.

First we need the image we’d like to display including a thumbnail. For this example I’ll be using “New York City” (thanks to the creator Paulo Barcellos Jr. for letting me use his image in this demo. Head over to InterfaceLIFT for more …).

After placing the image, the tumbnail and lightbox on the web server, we need to include Lightbox’s javascript and css file into out theme. I simply added the following lines to my theme’s header.php:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/images/lightbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/images/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Please be sure to alter the paths to be valid on your system.

Now I created a hover with exactly the following settings:

Whenever I use NewYorkCity in a posting it will be replaced with a lightbox link and a hover popup. When you click on the link a popup will be displayed.

Please note that Lightbox can not be used together with WebSnapr, as you can see in the above example.

$ echo "[foo   U ] abc/def [bar]” | sed ’s/\([^]]\)\+] \([^ ]*\).*/\2/’
abc/def

Or use awk:

$ echo "[foo   U ] abc/def [bar]” | awk -F ‘[][]‘ ‘{print $3}’
 abc/def

With the use of this machine Hades threatens to change classic literatur, for example by kidnapping the protagonist from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre.

Again a real page turner by Mr. Fforde.
