Also it has a broadcom wifi card which seems to not always be recognised in many distributions, often the distribution’s own b43 drivers did not work on my mininote. SO after lots of trial and error I found a small number which did work. First one, SliTaz I found out that unless I got certain steps in exactly the right order, things did not work out with the install, or later with the wireless - putting it all up as quicknotes for now, will add screenshots and more explanations later article, Action, 2009-08-05T08:51:22+00:00 http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/6-for-now-reasons-twitter-could-charge-corporates-and-perhaps-others-too http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/6-for-now-reasons-twitter-could-charge-corporates-and-perhaps-others-too#When:19:37:58Z editorial, Intuition, 2009-02-10T19:37:58+00:00 http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/explorations-how-a-site-can-finance-itself-blipfoto http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/explorations-how-a-site-can-finance-itself-blipfoto#When:20:15:11Z Inspiration, 2009-01-10T20:15:11+00:00 http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/a-rant-on-religiousness-in-oses http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/a-rant-on-religiousness-in-oses#When:17:28:31Z Please don’t come and tell me that your particular OS is the bestest of them all, super stable, easy to manage, easy to learn, no security issues. It isn’t. None of them are. If you think so you have forgotten all the times you scratched your head or tore your hair trying to figure out how to do… Originally posted on the donation coder forum, but I thought I’d also put it here :D Note: this is not a rant against linux or open source, not by far! I was using slackware in 1996, that’s how far linux and I go. I am a firm supported of open source, but frankly it is not the universal solution and the best of everything just yet. It might be, but it isnt. There are warts. You make the case for open source with warts, not forgetting about them in near religious zeal. And you certainly don’t claim your OS is perfect, or claim that everything is linux… editorial, Information, 2008-12-09T17:28:31+00:00 http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/cemetary_of_ghost_ideas http://iphi.net/index.php/superiphi/comment/cemetary_of_ghost_ideas#When:15:09:17Z I’m probably not alone in having spent time sketching ideas out only to never do anything about it - not because research showed it wouldn’t be a success, but because I never got the courage or focus together to even get that far. In my case it has often been “don’t feel like doing it alone and cannot quite justify trying to lure one of my friends to waste their free time on it”. Others do just that, though, and succeed. Some would not have worked, others certainly would have with the right partner, but I never even really looked. I need to get some of those to rest, so I stop feeling bad about not following up on them. I’m sure many of you know that feeling.

A week later they have created such a path.

I managed to recently lose it and had to go dig in old backups to recover it, so I figure I might as well save it here. It’s a list of steps and commands that can be used when on a new BSD5 machine - it contains port commands, compilation options etc. Action, 2007-10-14T21:15:53+00:00
