For quite a while I used a Yahoo account and their web based email client. It was useful, especially when travelling around Europe … I checked it out again the other day thinking, why did I stop using this? Well the answer is pretty obvious - advertisements. I just forget how intrusive the damn things [...]
Flash 9 is out for Linux. There is an RPM that you can use to install on Ubuntu via alien, but here’s how I did it (I am on Ubuntu Dapper Drake (x86)).
You can download the Flash Player from here http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/ or use wget like I do below.
cd
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_9_linux

sudo cp libflashplayer.so [...]
The previous post was how to start the database manually. Here is how to start the database by a script. Many thanks to Stuart for sending me the original version! What would we hackers do without you professionals?
This assumes you have installed Oracle 10g R2 into /opt/oracle and that you have a .bash_profile file sitting [...]
I removed Oracle 10g XE from my Dapper Drake machine and installed Oracle 10g R2. I will document this process later on when I’ve got the time but it was not too hard actually. The Oracle installer does not create a management script in /etc/init.d like the Oracle XE deb package does. Howerver with [...]
Well thanks again to Zac Barton I now have the USB web cam in my dv2000 working.

cd
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/
cd linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk/
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
Then run Ekiga and [...]
I installed Oracle XE and have been trying to install the sample schema OE for this tutorial here on using J Developer and ADF Business Components, but I cannot find the damn SQL for it anywhere on the web!!! See the following

Oracle should get it together and post that code so it can be downloaded
I just installed the drivel blog editor and have written this post with it — it works with WordPress pretty easily, you just need to select MoveableType as the server type and append xmlrpc.php to the end of the URL. Lovely.
I am back struggling to get the built in USB camera on the dv2000 working … not much joy but getting closer. I have found one needs a good day without any distractions (ie: wife & child) to focus on this stuff. At least it is not just Ubuntu that is the problem, this guy [...]
