I've been really frustrated with Typo recently. For some reason changing my last post would cause MySQL to timeout and I'd have to kill the rogue ruby process manually before any other changes to the DB would work, instead of hanging for a minute or two then timing out. Luckily I was able to disable the post using the command line client, the bug only manifested itself when issuing an UPDATE with all the fields present.

I had Firefox open for a couple of days and noticed that it was using 700M of memory. That's not a problem at all since I have 4G but it's also a lot of RAM to be in use for just one window with one tab open. The fact that Firefox gets sluggish after some time and needs to be restarted tells me that this isn't expected behaviour and is likely not due to caching for quick back/forward or whatever they claim is taking up the leaked memory. diff --git a/posts/2007/08/snap-crunchle-pop.md b/posts/2007/08/snap-crunchle-pop.md index bc6c8dc..e691a43 100644 --- a/posts/2007/08/snap-crunchle-pop.md +++ b/posts/2007/08/snap-crunchle-pop.md @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@ --- -Title: Snap, crunchle, pop +Title: "Snap, crunchle, pop" Author: Sami Samhuri -Date: 9th August, 2007 +Date: "9th August, 2007" Timestamp: 2007-08-09T03:17:00-07:00 -Tags: humans, injury, life +Tags: [humans, injury, life] --- I think that every now and then we need to be reminded of the frail nature of our human bodies. Yesterday morning as I walked to my kitchen I was turning right by pivoting on my right foot when my 24 years of walking experience suddenly failed me. I clearly did something wrong, as I heard a crunching pop or two in my right ankle and went down. Luckily it's just a sprain but my foot is fairly bruised and still sore today. I'm trying to follow the RICE method for recuperating but one can only lay down for so long before having to eat, work, use the bathroom, etc. Thank goodness I don't work on my feet or I'd be out of commission. If it still hurts next week I'm going to see a doctor but until then I'm trying not to leave my house.

One thing I don't care much for is the fact that gtkpod-aac is a sham. Ubuntu provides the gtkpod-aac package for one to transfer aac files, and thus mp4 files with aac audio tracks, to their iPod. The version in the Gutsy repos is broken. This shows a weakness in Ubuntu, and though it's rather small it is one that will piss off a lot of people who expect things to just work. The kind of people who would buy an iPod. The kind of people who use Linux. The kind of Linux users that use Ubuntu. The kicker is that it doesn't look like they will ship a working version of gtkpod-aac for Gutsy at all.
