This is the week where I remember to actually write introductory text. I also didn’t think I was going to have anything good this week, but The Internet came through for me at the last minute. Thanks, Internet! It’s also the week where I mis-schedule this post for Friday, temporarily.
- You may not need to Build Command Line Tools in Style, but I like the way the slides in this presentation … slide.
- This is another version of the “my computer should be free” argument. (via) The argument has been made before, though this version is slightly less antic.
- It’s always neat to see notes from someone trying DragonFly for the first time. Desktop and video editing… that’s going to be a hard road, though.
- Unix == ZZ Top. (via)
- Where vi came from. The original terminal had arrows on the HJKL keys.
- An in-depth explanation of HTTPS Everywhere.
- Dungeon creation using a dungeon! Next: recursive dragons, I just know it. (via)
Your unrelated link of the week: Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is being made today!

DragonFly BSD 3.0.1 desktop test — first steps
http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/bsd/dragonflybsd/2012_0305_dragonflybsd_first_steps_01
there is the following sentence :
(Later, as will be explained in my upcoming full DragonFly BSD 3.0.1 review,
I had no success with KDE, GNOME and KDEnlive but was able to run
the Xfce4 desktop environment.)
Really , KDE is NOT available as a package in
http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.0.1/pkgsrc-2011Q4/All/
and GNOME installed from the above link is NOT working : It is crashing during start of
“startx” .
Thank you very much .
oops, typo, should be “HTTPS Everywhere” not HTTP :)
Fixed!
Mehmet – I’m not surprised if there’s package issues – KDE and Gnome have hundreds of dependencies, so all it takes is one package… I don’t know why Gnome is having issues, but that might be a local video problem of some sort.
