I was able to get it working in Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” with KDE 3.5. YMMV. You will need: * A Linux installtion running a graphical desktop environment (X Windows with KDE, GNOME, or your favorite window manager) * An x86-based CPU (Intel, AMD, etc) because Wine can't run native Windows executables on non-x86 CPUs. text/html 2010-07-25T12:41:02-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/about_brendan?rev=1280086862&do=diff (Last updated 14 January 2009) I'm 29 years old and I graduated from Bridgewater State College a few years ago with a mathematics degree and computer science minor.

Please report bugs here: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim> . Be sure to mention you're using Zim in Windows! Source code for the installer is available at Launchpad, and it is merged into the Zim trunk when definitive progress has been made. text/html 2010-05-22T20:26:31-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/software/vboxmanage_lite?rev=1274585191&do=diff VBoxManage Lite is a wrapper script around VirtualBox's 'VBoxManage' command, providing a more compact syntax for commonly used commands. Supports these commands: * list * start, stop, halt, reset * status To install, just download the script and place it in your ~/bin folder. Make sure ~/bin is in your $PATH. text/html 2010-05-21T01:46:07-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/software/parse_html_in_coldfusion?rev=1274431567&do=diff 21 May 2010 I'm working on ColdFusion application at work where it would be nice to actually parse HTML properly and then remove all style attributes and other unwanted stuff, rather than using RegExes and search-and-replace. ColdFusion has a native XML Document datatype which you can instantiate from an XML string using XmlParse(), but this doesn't work for arbitrary HTML which probably isn't well-formed XML. text/html 2010-05-17T21:22:17-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/software/xkcd_raw_rss?rev=1274156537&do=diff Do you like the web comin xkcd?

As such, it would be useful to have an init script that starts and stops VirtualBox automatically when the host system boots up and shuts down. That way, I don't have to think about manually st… text/html 2010-05-17T21:19:56-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/howto/ubuntu_feisty_on_thinkpad_x41?rev=1274156396&do=diff Brendan Kidwell 28 April 2007 This document is a work in progress and it is not meant to be a comprehensive guide. I recently decided to dump Windows XP from my Thinkpad X41 Tablet PC and install Ubuntu Linux in its place. Windows XP is slowly creeping towards the end of its useful life, and I am quite uninterested in Windows Vista with all its new restrictions and annoyingly more-restrictive EULA, so I decided it was time to test the viability of Linux as a desktop OS for myself, since I alr… text/html 2010-05-17T21:16:04-07:00 Brendan Kidwell http://www.glump.net/howto/send_email_to_your_pda_from_the_command_prompt?rev=1274156164&do=diff Brendan Kidwell brendan@glump.net 3 October 2008 This tutorial gives you a couple of scripts that allow you to send a short message to your PDA via a proxy on your personal web hosting provider. I created it today because I wanted a quick way to copy a URL from my browser, paste it somewhere, and have it end up on my Blackberry.

This guide shows you how to manage a personal password list with multiple copies on different computers, synchronization among the computers, and encrypted storage. You'll need to be at least somewhat familiar with your system's command prompt and with unix in general to follow the guide, but you should be able to implement this scheme on any desktop Linux, OS X, or Windows computer.
