Peter Jackson on for two Hobbit movies

Right now it looks like Peter Jackson will just be the producer unless there's some willingness to push the release date back beyond the 2010 and 2011 release dates. If that is the case, there is a chance that Peter Jackson will direct as well.

Zen Habits - Health for the mind, body, and soul

I just found Zen Habits this evening and am intrigued by the posts I am seeing - posts on weight loss, removing clutter from the mind, and gaining muscles just to name a few. It looks like a high quality blog - go check it out!

Firefox and NoScript Preferences

I'm trying to get NoScript working in Firefox, but the preferences do not appear match the default preferences that come with the NoScript extension. On top of that, even if I try changing the preferences, the OK button is unresponsive - it doesn't close the window and save my preferences.

I originally thought that this was a result of Gentoo's noscript ebuild, but I'm getting the same thing when loading the extension through the Firefox extension Web site. For now, it looks like I will block javascript with Adblock Plus.

In other news, I now have a Technorati Profile.

One of my Creative Commons licensed on Flickr has been used

My photo of Emerald Bay, above Vikingsholm has been used. Details are on the comments for the picture. It's a first for me and is a very nice feeling.

Dhcpcd 3.1.5 fix found for Gentoo

A few months ago I reported the issues I was having with dhcpcd in Gentoo. One solution I found shortly after that post suggested that I add the line dhcp_eth0="-I ''" (replacing eth0 with whatever your network interface is) to /etc/conf.d/net, but that did not work.

I have finally found the solution that has dhcpcd 3.1.5 work for me - compiling it with the vram USE flag. I still have the dhcp_eth0 line as shown above in there, but it probably is not needed for this to work.
