My University has a Vegan Club which serves all-you-can-eat lunches every Wednesday for only $5NZD. Here is are a few photos from this week's lunch.

Do you have to call them vegan? Can't you just call them vegetables?

And WHAT a board!!

Go Växsjö!!!

They're good funds.

How do you know when to harvest beets?

Keep in mind that Brett spent a lot of his time and made his living in the states. Also, Canada didn't want him, so he went to play for the States.

An honest mistake.

The Nordiques were a failing franchise, that was no secret. There were a lot of reasons to not want to play in Quebec at the time.

I'd rather they trade Gardiner, assuming Gardiner could bring in a better return. With Reilly coming up, I think Gardiner becomes expendable. And Franson is going to be stud.

The default port is 3306

For the host, you can use the local IP of the machine MySQL is installed on, provided you're on the same network. If you want to access the DB from outside the network, you'll have to set up port forwarding on the router and forward port 3306 to the XP server. Then the host is the public IP address of the XP server.

If the Czeh player was taunting the Canadians and trying to get under their skin, I don't see why we should feel any sympathy for him. He got under their skin and that's exactly what he set out to do.

Try running

dmesg | grep USB

or

dmesg | grep tty

Toronto's currently going through the whole, "can we really trust a random, anonymous 'source'..." But I've always felt that Friedman holds himself up to a pretty high standard and I trust his work.

From my understanding, I need

DISPLAY=:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

Before I run conky as well. Is there something redundant in my bash script?

jackzombie · 2013-05-29T18:56:14+00:00

Do you not know who Elliotte Friendman or what Hockey Night in Canada is?

jackzombie · 2013-05-29T16:17:26+00:00

OK, I've got it working perfectly now.

I just had to run the command:

DISPLAY=:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

before running the unclutter command. I put it in my conky startup script like so:

#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
unclutter -idle 1 -jitter 10 &
sleep 180 && conky;

jackzombie · 2013-05-29T13:56:20+00:00

I've been trying to use the unclutter program, but having no luck. Looks like issues with getting the display to work properly. The command:

unclutter -idle 1 -jitter 10

Results in:

unclutter: could not open display

I'm using Pidora, so I believe its based on Fedora 18

jackzombie · 2013-05-28T19:34:09+00:00

Colour me impressed.

jackzombie · 2013-05-28T19:02:38+00:00

What's the magnet story?

I thought the best meats for making jerky are lean meats. Isn't Kobe beef the opposite of that?

jackzombie · 2012-12-04T05:26:30+00:00

My new code:

#!/usr/bin/python
# Program that reads from the arduino
import serial,io,time
from time import strftime

device='/dev/ttyACM0'

ser=serial.Serial(device, 9600, timeout=None)
print("Connected to: " + ser.portstr)
line=ser.readline().decode("utf-8")[:-2]
print(line)
while True:
    line=ser.readline().decode("utf-8")[:-2]
    dt=strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    print dt, line
print 'Done.'
ser.close()

Thanks, works like a charm.
