http://kirrus.co.uk/2008/06/irony/ asks Hoosgot,
Now, this is what I call irony. Currently, I’m going past this poster every time I go through a certain underground station. (Cookie for the first person who guesses which station *). As you can see, its an advert for the John Twelve Hawks book “The Dark River”, which apart from being […]

http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2008/06/12/a-question-of-web-security/ asks Hoosgot,
Sometimes I have to admit gaps in my knowledge, no matter how much it pains me! I’m not a specialist but more of a jack of all trades, so bear with me here. I know some very smart folks read here and I’m hoping some will pipe up. Hello Lazyweb, question time […]

Hi lazyweb, Do you know any software that will let me convert a MBR partitioned disk into a GPT partitioned disk without deleteing the existing partitions or data? Thanks, Jarrod

http://blog.bitfluent.com/post/36867302/on-the-beauty-of-rubinius-design-i-wish-i-had asks Hoosgot,
On the Beauty of Rubinius’ Design (I Wish I Had Rails.new) In Rubinius, you can spawn off a brand new complete VM by simply calling Rubinius.new. It’ll behave exactly as though it was invoked directly from an rbx binary sitting in your $PATH, complete with STDIN/STDOUT (which you can override). I believe this […]

http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/06/10/wanted-excerpt-exacter/ asks Hoosgot,
So after I once again published a post without filling in the excerpt, thus forcing me to go back to fill it in later, I tweeted in a fit of pique: I need a WordPress plugin that won’t let me publish a post until I’ve filled in the excerpt field. Anyone got […]

http://hundrad.org/2008/06/10/pac-roomba-or-vac-man-a-robotgame-love-story/ asks Hoosgot,
It’s been quiet over here at Hundrad HQ. Too quiet. Something had to give eventually. For the past couple of years, I’ve been working quietly on a project to implement a Pac-Man style game (I don’t say Pac-Man per se because I don’t want to irk the rights holders) with Roombas. Initially, […]

http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2008/06/turns-out-this.html asks Hoosgot,
I have to keep reminding myself that I can compose offline in ecto. Oh, related to that: I really like ecto, and feel comfortable endorsing it and recommending it to anyone who is looking for a full-featured offline editor for their blog. Anyway, I guess AMC ran Stand By Me on DVD […]

http://jasoncosper.com/archives/planning-a-jailbreak/ asks Hoosgot,
Now that it’s a given that I’m buying a 3G iPhone, I need to figure out how to use a jailbroken first gen iPhone to pull traffic data for my TomTom One.  It might take a little work tho as Google’s not turning up any solid results. Anyone on the LazyWeb […]

http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/09/dear-lazyweb-scrape.html asks Hoosgot,
Dear Lazyweb: The folks at IO9 have some great videos, but they’re not presently embeddable — while they’re waiting for the next rev of their player, I need a way to embed them here on BB. I’m looking for a simple way of scraping and reposting (or simply embedding) the videos they post […]
