In 1978, Meryl Streep featured a movie and a miniseries; both had a tremendous impact on the culture of remembrance in the United States as well as internationally. On the occasion of her 64.

Remove Domain Part, WordPress-plugin. Nicer pdf2png, with poppler. So poppler now includes. Which does this. No need to do this anymore! Blog post here for reference. I’ve been using. From ImageMagick to convert PDF-files to png files. However, they’re butt ugly, or rather fugly. So I created a pdf2png script / python program to do it better. Just look at the text here from. Rather ugly. Look at the kerning. It’s truly horrible. So without further ado, here is. Also updated with width height extra params.

Remove Domain Part, WordPress-plugin. Make colorgcc colors bright. I have a dark background in my terminal. For vim I always set background=dark, and that fixes the colors. However, I couldn’t find a way to stop colorgcc from being broken. I didn’t find any answers using the search engine I use. So in the end I resorted to just reading the code, and lo’ and behold, that normally helps. Colorgcc is using Term: ANSIColor, and they take that, plus a few other bonus options if you’re interested. On Workrave,...

Remove Domain Part, WordPress-plugin. Workrave, with no fake microbreaks. I’ve been using Workrave. To help me remember to take breaks from the computer. I always end up not using it after a while though. That’s because I get irritated by it because it gets frustrating after a while. I’ve always been a bit too optimistic about my breaks. Specifically because the program comes with an insane setting as standard. However, this time I’ve set the settings to:. One two-minute microbreak every hour. Ms ago, set.

Well, just install libopus, and you should be good to go. I have Opus running and working in my Opera 12 here :-). Anyway, the keyword here is /native/ s...

Remove Domain Part, WordPress-plugin. Google’s DRM proposal. Google turned Evil, along with Netflix has submitted a proposal for Digital Restriction Management for HTML5. I’ve been more or less following the emails, and just saw a great reply by Hixie. That I’d like to archive. Of course, having a DRM standard doesn’t make any sense, because you’d need a proprietary plugin anyway – and then we’re straight back to flash! It just doesn’t work. A bit of context, Ian Hickson. To which Mark Watson. No, Mark&#...
