Singo’s Letter to The Prime Minister of Australia

Alrighty, this is a letter that earlier tonight I wrote and emailed to our esteemed Prime Minister: Little Johnny. Somehow I dont think he’ll bring his daughter or himself to the next Singopalooza. Anyone wanting screendumps of the email, just give me a yell. Enjoy!

Dear Prime Minister,

As a law abiding taxpayer (who will enjoy a tax cut) I would like to congratulate firstly on winning your 3rd term of government.

Secondly, I would like to thank you for your Government’s recent contribution to the rebuilding of the Whitten Oval. In effect you are making a major contribution to the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. I am a Western Bulldogs supporter and was most disappointed not to see a link to the dogs on your lovely website, which I spotted when searching for kiddie porn.

I live in Laverton (which is a shithole). I was wondering if you would in your wisdom and greatness, be able to commit another substantial amount (a couple million will do) to the Western Suburbs and in particular Laverton and Werribee as there is a major shortage in Medicare funded dentures and a severe lack of dental hygene in general, which could be easily tackled with well planned education programs and a strategically sound denture trade-in program. Mr Abbott would know what I’m on about and I’m sure Mr Costello could find the funds.

I would also like to make comment on the Free Trade Agreement with the United States of America. I was under the impression that there was no free deal for two bob American “artists” to take AC/DC songs and then run overdubs on them and resell to unsuspecting Australian teenagers. This important issue should not be overlooked and any loophole in the agreement closed as soon as possible. I’m afraid this issue alone, could cost your party the next election if its not looked into immediately.

Apart from these two important issues, I would like to once again extend the hand of friendship to your good self and am honoured ( you should be too) to take this opportunity to extend an invite for you to attend the next Singopalooza Freedom and Fornication Festival of Fun. Once arriving at Melbourne Airport (or Avalon if you like Jetstar), the “Grantstand” XF Falcon ute with customised tray will pick you up and deliver you straight to the party of the century. Upon arrival to Laverton, you will be treated to a complimentary Beam and Coke and Canapes. Feel free to rock up with the missus. We would also like you to drag along Mick Keelty to sample some of the goods and to ensure purity for our other guests, most of whom are important dignitaries and celebreties within the Western Suburbs. It would be great to have you along as guest of honour at this important community event. Also you may bring your daughter ’cause she’s a bit of alright hey mate?

Well the least you do is give a battler, just like the ones you talk about during question time the time of day and reply to me.

Thanks Johnny and yours sincerely,

Singo

Little bugger has already shat and pissed on the carpet, fun times ahead, spent lastnight searching the web for house training techniques.

Starting VNC Server

Starting the server
VNC is deisgned such that each server represents one desktop. Thus, before you can use VNC, you must start your own copy of the server. (In fact, if you wish to work with more than one X session at a time, you may want to start several servers.)

For the simplest case, to start a single server, just type vncserver. This can, of course, be done remotely through an ssh connection. The response will look something like this:

% vncserver

New ‘X’ desktop is fedora:1

Starting applications specified in /home/michaelk/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/michaelk/.vnc/fedora:1.log

The first time you run the server, you will be prompted for a password, and there will be some additional output as it adds a configuration subdirectory to your home directory. The password can be any password of 8 characters or less, but be sure to remember it. To start more than one server, simply run vncserver again. When you start a server, make note of the number (e.g. :1) following the server name. This is the display number, which you use to deactivate the server.

Stopping the server
To stop the server, simply run vncserver -kill :X to kill the server on display x. For example, if you were trying to stop the server which you started on display 1, type vncserver -kill :1. Remember, this will end your session, killing whatever programs were running in it, and disconnecting all clients still connected to the server. This termination is somewhat abrupt, so it may be preferable to close all programs within the session, exit the window manager, and close the client before doing so.

If you have forgotten the display number, just look at the files in the .vnc/ subdirectory of your home directory. There will be one .pid file for each server you have running, and its filename will tell you the display number.

if you want xwindows to start in each vncsession, edit

/home/michaelk/.vnc/xstartx

uncomment the below two lines, and restart the vnc server.

unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

still playing with that redhat

Fedora is still running on my old beast of a laptop, fedora has alot of cool nifty things in it, i was suprised to see how easy it is to install apps, and update them using the update service.

Setup remote console to the box and off i go, can play from work when i’m bored. :)

Anyway, gonna keep playing.
