We’re very sad to hear that we lost Arthur C Clarke today. He was 90.

Thanks for everything Arthur, we miss you already.

Happy Pi Day

Posted by Michael Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:51:00 GMT

Today is the day to celebrate Pi!

Didn’t know that? Us either. According to PiDay.org March 14th is the day we all celebrate Pi.

I’m personally going to celebrate eating some Pie, and then using Pi to calculate the pie’s measurements.

I know, pretty sad.

Connecting to Apple Remote Desktop from Ubuntu

Posted by Michael Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:36:00 GMT

Apple uses the tightvnc protocol for remote desktop. So install tightvnc:

sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer

Then update your default programs to use it instead of what’s included in Ubuntu Desktop:

sudo update-alternatives --set vncviewer /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer

That’s it. In ubuntu’s RDP client, select the vnc protocol when connecting to a mac.
