Pictures from the Sisters Show at the 9:30 club, March 2006.By the way, the picture quality is about what one would expect of a Sisters show, because they use so much fog juice and so many strobe lights in their shows that you can't really see anything.

Sunday, 04 February 2007 at 16:16
From time to time I find the need to build .iso images of files that have to be burned to CD-ROM disks for storage or transport. However, theCDRtools, while powerful, can be unweildly to work with because of the large number of command line options that each one offers. They can be downright confusing to keep straight in a hurry, which is why I put the most commonly used options for mkisofsinto a simple shell script to help speed up the process. You run it like so:
./make_iso.sh /path/to/put/new_iso_image.iso /path/to/files_to_burn
To display the online help, give the script the command line switch --help, like any modern GNU-style utility.
The script is licensed under the GPLv2. If this script blows your box up or trashes your data, it isn't my fault.

Just upgrade to Mozilla Firefox v2.0.x but lose the go button in the URL bar? To get it back follow the instructions in this weblog post under "about:config method", but flip the value of browser.urlbar.hideGoButton from 'false' to 'true', and you'll get it back. You won't even have to restart Firefox. I just did it on Luel and it works like a charm.Want to play with a web-accessible robotic arm?

Have you ever wanted to play with a real robot arm? The University of Western Australia has one available through their website that you can use to move blocks around with. You have to register for an account and use special client software that they supply, and of course you'll have to wait in a queue for your turn to use it, but it's a lot of fun.A far busier week than I'd bargained for.

The past couple of nights have been busy ones, though not painfully so. Our weekly stitch-and-bitch had been moved up to Wednesday so that Elwing could join us after work, along with Hasufin, Hummingwolf, Orthaevelve, and Kyrin, who'd been effectively out of action for a couple of weeks since the new year started. As it turned out, I had to run to the Metro station to get Hummingwolf, drop her off at home, then head out to get Orthaevelve at her place, drop her off, and then set out for Micro Center to pick up something for work. Seeing as howI didn't have a full-sized keyboard to work on for most of the day (well, all day, to be precise), I wanted to pick up something that was light and readily transportable and yet bigger than Luel's built-in keyboard. After some fruitful searching of the shelves (note to self: try to get one of those huge gaming keyboards cheap so I can hack around with them) I eventually settled on an Adesso USB/PS2 miniature keyboard
due to the size and placement of the keys (they are much closer to that of a much larger, desktop replacement laptop), the stroke action of the keys (I find the sensitivity of the keys 'just right', and on top of that it clicks nicely (I'm big on auditory feedback in my consoles)), and it's light enough to tuck into my backpack along with everything else I carry to and from work on a daily basis. My wrists haven't been bothering me since I bought this keyboard, and I mustconfess I'm quite taken with it. I'd even recommend it to everyone, even though I usually suggest to everyone that they figure out on their own what keyboards to use (due to RST and all that rot).
More under the cut...
