I get the following when I install firefox 4 on ubuntu:
exec: 398: firefox/firefox-bin: not found
If you are trying to install firefox 4 for ubuntu, you also need
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
It’s about 40meg, and after that you can either run it from the command line (firefox/firefox) or double click on “firefox” from gnome.
I didn’t setup my svn in the standard way. Standard convention would say it looks something like this:
projecta/trunk/src
projecta/trunk/docs
projecta/branch/betabranch/src
projecta/branch/betabranch/docs
As I have previously posted, I don’t like the tools dictating how I should setup my source tree. So I have:
projecta/src
projecta/docs
projectb/src
projectb/docs
etc… projecta and project b interact with other (one is libraries).
but now I need a branch. So what I did was create a “branch” project for my “betabranch”.
So now I can easily branch the code with
I haven’t done the merge yet, so I might be in for some pain. We will see..

G’Day,
I’m thinking of adding iptable rules to block out various countries from connecting to various ports/services on my machines. Does anyone have any experience on this? Is there a noticable difference between < 100 rules and > 2000, > 10000?

G’Day,
The menu bug that caused gimp to crash on all platforms is fixed now.
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.6/
Here is the excerpt from the changelog:
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.6.9 to GIMP 2.6.10 ================================================== * Bugs fixed: 613328 - TGA files saved with incorrect header yOrigin data 623290 - Save As... does not save Windows Bitmap as default in dialog 621363 - CMYK decompose broken 595170 - brush - color from gradient works wrong in greyscale 613838 - Error in gimp-hue-saturation PDB call 622608 - GIMP crashes when clicking any scroll bar from combo boxes 565459 - newly opened images are put into the background * Updated translations: German (de) Italian (it) Romanian (ro) Portuguese (pt)
I’m almost certain this is wrong, but I’m keeping it as a note for myself:
I bought a macbook in October last year. It obviously cost more than $1000, and since I did not buy it in Australia there is not GST component (however, you might need to pay customs duty on entry to the country .. depending).
How do I depreciate this asset?
After some research, it seems that you depreciate laptops over 3 years.
Reference:
Using flat line depreciation: (equal each year).
Let’s say it’s $2001, and I bought it 18th October, 2009
First calculate number of days I didn’t have it
31+31+30+18 (number of days in july, aug, ..) = 110
Depreciation per year – $2000/3=$667.
Depreciation year end 2010: 2000/3*(365-110)/365 = $465
Depreciation 2011: 667
Depreciation 2012: 667
Depreciation 2013 (110 days) = rest = 201 (2000/3*110/365 = 200)
Also note that as far as I know, there is no rule to say it has to be bought in Australia! Crazy, so you also get the 50% small business tax concession
(so you can claim an additional $1000 in this case (2000*50%) on your tax return for 2010).

This is not tax advise, nor financial advise, and I am not qualified to give either. But if you need help loosing money on the stock market, follow my lead.
After running out and buying a bunch of assets that I needed for my small business in 2009 and to take advantage of the Small Business Tax break (claim 50% extra depreciation). I now need to do all the accounting for these computers.
I bought a computer that costs $1038. And the rule says the asset must cost $1000 or more to be elligble. So since there was $94.36 in GST, is my asset is less than $1000 excluding GST. Is it: 1) a depreciating asset, and 2) elligible for the tax break?
Short answer: no to both. The item has to be at least $1000 exclusive of GST (so $1100 or more inclusive of GST).

There is a bug in gimp 2.6.9 which causes it to crash when you use the menus in a certain way.
It happens on linux and windows.

G’Day,
You can get the latest development version from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.7/
You can read the notes for the release here:
http://mitch.gimp.org/release-notes-2-7-1.txt
If you have ubuntu you can get (easy) build instructions here:
blog.bloke.com: build gimp from source
have fun!

We are going to build gimp from the directory $HOME/gimp/2.7.1 and install it into $HOME/gimp-2.7.1 or /opt/gimp-2.7.
Installing to my home directory allows me to have multiple copies of the gimp, and run which ever version that I want. So my tree actually looks something like this:
(my build files)
$HOME/gimp/2.7.1/gimp-2.7.1/
$HOME/gimp/2.7.1/gegl-0.12/
$HOME/gimp/2.7.1/babl-0.12/
(the install area)
$HOME/gimp-2.7.1/
Of course you don’t need to do that, but I thought it was a great place to start. I did this by installing a version of 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 64bit on a Sun VirtualBox VM. If you don’t know what I just said, then just start with Ubuntu 10.04.
Now here we can choose where we want to install. The default is /usr/local/. (ie PREFIX=/usr/local), however that is known to cause problems. Personally, I want to have the installations and libraries seperate for each version, so that I can run whatever version of gimp that I want, so I’ll use PREFIX=$HOME/gimp-2.7.1. If you want to install system wide then use PREFIX=/opt/gimp-2.7.
You need “sudo make install” below if installing to /opt.
Now you can run gimp as:
$PREFIX/bin/gimp-2.7
so if you are encoding characters for use with a URL, you need:
encodeURIComponent()
example:
you will note that %C9 is not a value UTF-8 character.
I’m using this function to encode the values from a form to put into a URL.
