What is a Murphy?

December 03rd, 2004 | Category: General

When I was booking a hotel room at Residence Inn Houston Medical Center/Reliant Park the other day, I noticed that in the description it mentioned a ‘murphy’. I did not know what a ‘murphy’ was. After calling the hotel, the attendant said that it is a bed that folds out of the wall.

I have only seen these beds on TV. Guess I should get out of the house more.

Find which CD a fileset is on

December 03rd, 2004 | Category: AIX

Need to load a base AIX fileset and don’t remember which CD it is on? Check the ‘.toc’ file in:

/<mounted cdrom dir>/usr/sys/mvCD/.toc

For example, if I vi the ‘.toc’ file and search for ‘bos.clvm’, I see something like this:

vol%3/bos.clvm 4 R I bos.clvm {
bos.clvm.enh 05.02.0000.0030 1 b B en_US Enhanced Concurrent Logical Volume Manager

So now I know that I need to load ‘volume 3′ for the fileset ‘bos.clvm.enh’.

Firefox and Adblock

December 03rd, 2004 | Category: Opensource

Wanna get rid of 99.9% of all web ads?

    1. Get Firefox.
    2. Load the Adblock extension.
    3. Import the regular expression filter from http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/

I have been using the filter for about a week and I don’t miss seeing any ads.
