Yesterday was a very happy day for me. I received in the mail the Basic Riders Course receipt for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) so that I could take the written test and get my Motorcycle license.
After checking the mail and seeing that I had the form, I had to go take the test right away. The excitement took over and it was something I had to go do immediately.
With the Charlie Sheen media blitz going on and his hilarious interviews I was surprised to see the interview made into a song. Very good haha.
Incredible the amount of paperwork that you need to go through in order to obtain a motorcycle drivers license in California!
Not only do I need to study for my motorcycle written test but I also need to RETAKE my regular drivers license that I took years ago!
Anyways, thats what I have been up to and this is also my first post on my blog using my iPhone. Yep, there’s an app for that!
Went to visit my buddy Steve and we ended up singing, good times!

It’s been raining for the past couple of weekends, and this past friday night was yet another one of those days where its pouring out which means all my plans for the night were pretty much canned.
I decided it was time to invest my time into working on my website again and get it back up and running, so over the next couple of weeks I hope to get the website setup. This weekend I migrated all my old blog data, setup a theme and installed the content management system for this site. I hope to be able to finish quickly!
I removed my restriction on search engines from crawling my site. It should now start appearing on Google, Bing and Yahoo pretty soon, or so I hope. When the time is right and the site is done I will post a link on facebook 🙂

If you use a windows ssh terminal client, or even macosx’s terminal.app, the functionality of your page up and page down key may not behave like you want it to. For example, in SecureCRT using pageup will actually page up your scroll buffer, and pagedown will scroll down your page buffer.
You’ll need to remap your keys to send the correct signal to your terminal. Change it from the default system function to “send string” and the following strings:
PageUp = 33[5~
PageDown = 33[6~
33 is a shortcut for the ESCAPE key (esc) since in some programs you can’t type in the actualy escape key.
Here are some other codes as well in case you need to remap keys.
Pause = 32
Macro = 03 # Break (Shift-Pause)
Home = 33[1~
Insert = 33[2~
Remove = 33[3~ # Delete
End = 33[4~
In SecureCRT the area to remap your keys is Tools -> Keymap Editor.
This is especially handy if you use command line IRC clients such as Irssi or BitchX.
To do this, we need to add a custom route to the server, we need to add the network and netmask addresses, to test and see if it works:
route add -net 10.5.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev vmbr0
if it works, add the following to your /etc/network/interfaces file
iface vmbr0 inet static
…
bridge_fd 0
up route add -net 10.5.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev vmbr0
down route del -net 10.5.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev vmbr0
…
did not work? Remove route with:
route del -net 10.5.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev vmbr0
Find core dumps
find . -type f -regex “.*/core.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$”
The regex in the above command matches the file name “core.xxxx” where “xxxx” is exactly four numbers 0-9. If the results look correct, we can delete all those dump files with the following command.
Find + Delete all core dumps found
find . -type f -regex “.*/core.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$” -exec rm {} ;
The one downfall of this method is that it’s slower, since regular expressions take time to process. But this is a small price to pay for getting rid of these files in large numbers safely. If you see any errors with the above code or have any experiences to share please leave a comment below.
