Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and

watch is one of those GNU tools that I can hardly live without.
watch -d 'df'
Is an example. Let's get this installed on the MBP, (Snow Leopard).

The Zen of python

Run this on your machine.

python -c 'import this'
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

Awesome python documentation downloads

Yessir!

OpenVZ set up on laptop "freedom"

I've set up OpenVZ on the "server laptop" that I call freedom.

uname -n && sudo vzlist
freedom
CTID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME
150 17 running 192.168.1.150 dns1
199 16 running -

I'll now be able to run more virtual servers with much lower overhead on IO and CPU load. Prolly better for a laptop, eh?

Note that when you've installed OpenVZ, one needs to edit /etc/sysctl.conf so that your containers, (virt machines) are ready for the network and can be unleashed to the public.

jayeola@freedom ~ ^_^ sudo sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
kernel.sysrq = 1
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
kernel.msgmnb = 65536

kernel.shmall = 268435456
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0


Don't need to reboot when you've set the file up, just restart the service vz ;-)

to help myself here?

This suggestion seemed to fix it.
sudo port sync
