NAME CHANGE !!!

due to my cheapness in many respects, i have stuck with batts.mine.nu for years. as many people could deduce, it is a freely availble deal through dyndns.com. being so, many people can register whatever they want.
lately there were a sweep of Russian hackers and phishers doing mis-deeds. this has pretty well jammed up many things for my site (i.e., search engines dropping me, email servers bouncing me, and even my own firefox warns me against visiting my site ;)
SO,
officially, i’m rebranded as hashbangbash.com
i set up a mod_rewrite web forward to allow the search engines to re-index
after a while of that, i will remove all ties that i have to batts.mine.nu, in the meanwhile i will be attempting to update anything that links, to instead point it to {blog,webmail,music,ftp,www}.hashbangbash.com

thanks all!

i recently watched a lecture of Randy Pausch, his last lecture, and followed up by looking into the Alice Project that he was a major part of. after a bit of playing with it, i have put together packaging scripts for slackware for it, Available here, and you can just download the slackpkg of it here. (notice alice is dependent on jre-1.5, which i have available for download as well)

cheers, and i’m glad there are great people out there in the world

kde4 beta 2 -ish

i have been quite out of the loop lately, but i’m trying to catch up to the current life. Robby Workman is staying good about maintaining kde4 for what is slackware-12.1, http://kde4.rlworkman.net/, but again, this installation conflicts with any current kde3/qt3 packages. so i have been maintaining a slight variation of rlworkman’s source’s that will enable con-current installation.

if you would like the source i have been working on, you can check it out using subversion or http browsing it, http://batts.mine.nu/pub/src/SlackBuilds/kde4/

in preparation for the upcoming KDE-4.1 RC1, currently scheduled for July 15th, i have gotten back on track (at least for a moment) and have gotten my source up to kde-4.0.84, it will be available http://cardinal.lizella.net/~vbatts/kde4-coexist as the packages are built.

please feel free to post feedback or improvemnts.

kde-4.0.84
