Finally! The holiday is here, and we’re pretty much packed and ready to go. As I’ve mentioned countless times during my last posts, I’ve an upcoming RHCT-exam after easter, and though I was planning on spending my days off work studying, I never really planned to bring a laptop to the cabin. We’re heading to a place where there’s no tv or radio, just the cabin and nature. Should give me the peace of mind I need to focus properly on my studies. Anyway, the RHCT-exam is all about hands-on experience, and I wasn’t going to get that without actually tampering with a RedHat installation (or CentOS in this case). Trying to install both VirtualBox and Paralell on my Powerbook G4 was plain impossible, as both only support Macs with an Intel processor, not PPC. And QEMU, sheesh – I’m sure I would’ve grown a long gray beard before the system even managed to boot up properly. I had to discard the idea of bringing my PowerBook, being that it was such crap. That experience (and some other ones) have made me dislike Mac greatly, so now I’m just hoping that my workplace will provide me with a laptop, which I can use both privately and for work-purposes. Needless to say I’ll be installing VirtualBox there as well. ;) If you don’t know what VirtualBox is, read on.
My co-worker has been a great influence on me lately. I used to despise the eyecandy that Fedora and Gnome provided, and now I’m using Fedora 8 at home, with Gnome, thanks to him. A week back or so we came upon the subject of virtualization, and he spoke about some open source software called VirtualBox, that supposedly did the same (if not more) as the famous VMWare. I’ve now been using VirtualBox for almost a week, and let me tell you, it’s just insane how good it is. I can highly recommend it if you would like to give other operating systems a try without having to repartition your hard drive, or even format it. Every OS that you install through VirtualBox is stored in its own unique file, thus enabling you to make the changes necessary on your local machine, and just bring the file with you to another location (provided that there is a VirtualBox installation on the remote machine), and fire it up there. Here’s a nifty little screenshot of VirtualBox running in Fedora 8, with CentOS installed. Nice huh!
I’m off to get the final things done for the trip, happy easter to whomever is reading this. ;)
In about two hours my workday ends. I’ve spent the day studying for the RHCT-exam, and spent some time reading/exploring Limacute and Bifrost. Quite fun I have to say. :) I’ve yet to learn a good deal about RedHat, but things are finally starting to sink in. I’ll use the holiday for everything it’s worth, and study like mad, hopefully passing the RHCT-exam.
Changing to another topic, I spoke with my friend Kenneth the other day, and we came upon the subject of movies and books. I mentioned the lack of a good movie and book database. Don’t get me wrong, I know IMDB exists, but I meant for more personal use, to index and list all of your movies and books. He suggested that I make one then, and I said sure, why not. Most likely to be made in PHP and MySQL, I’ll have to find the time soon to (try) to make it.
Enough ramble – on to more reading!
My girlfriend was having some problems displaying the correct characters while talking on IRC through irssi, and putty. Eventually I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t my server or irssi that was configured badly. Searching the internet I found this:
echo -ne 'e%Ge[?47he%Ge[?47l'
Simply put that into your .bash_profile or .bashrc and relog to your server. It’s a collection of terminal escape codes that together means ESC %G – “switch to UTF-8″.
Friday today (yay!), the last day of the working-week. I actually don’t feel as tired as I usually do at this hour, which is pretty odd. Next week I work only three days, being that Thursday and Friday is a part of the Easter-Holiday here in Norway, and lasts till Monday. It’s been a pretty interesting week, I’ve done quite a bit of work, and even had time to study for my RHCT-test that’s coming up after Easter. Pretty nervous about that to be honest, and being that I’ve never really touched a RedHat-type of OS, I’m even more shook up. But still, having worked with Linux for these past few years should count for something. :) Having glanced over the pages in the book I’m reading, I pretty much know most of the stuff. So, a good luck to me!
Now, my co-worker has again informed me of a little miracle-addon called Foxmarks. Quoting their website:
The Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer automatically synchronizes your bookmarks between two or more computers running Firefox. It also lets you access your bookmarks from any computer anytime via my.foxmarks.com. An easy-to-use wizard guides you through the quick startup process. Then Foxmarks works silently in the background to keep your bookmarks up-to-date on all your computers.
I’ve been using it for the past week, and loving it! Give it a try you too. And download Firefox!Â
