make apt-get skip some packages in upgrade
When doing an
apt-get upgradeon my Debian (Lenny) box yesterday I received this messageSince release 150, udev requires that support for the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED feature is disabled in the running kernel. Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
This was holding back the upgrade of all the packages. Looked around a bit and it seems that the solution for this problem is to let apt know that we do not want to upgrade the
udevpackage. The way to do this isecho "udev hold"|dpkg --set-selectionsand then runapt-get upgradeDefined tags for this entry: geek stuff, linux - June, 2010

in today's odd news: Scientists use Calvin Klein cologne to lure jaguars
Biologists Rony Garcia and Jose Moreira from the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) Jaguar Conservation Program rely on Obsession for Men, a cologne known for its complex scent, to help lure jaguars in the Central American country.
Note that this scent works on jaguars. There is no research of its effects on cougars
.The discovery that Obsession for Men acted as a magnet for jaguars was the result of an experiment by the WCS's Bronx Zoo in New York. The WCS was looking for ways to get cheetahs in front of camera traps, and, after several years of testing with different fragrances, found spraying the musky Obsession For Men near the heat-and-motion-sensitive cameras drew the cats for longer than other scents.

today
I wore a pair of torn jeans to office today. I was trying to look fashionable, but I later saw that I was wearing a torn jacket as well. I hope I did not project an image of someone-who-does-not-get-paid-enough.
I watched the pilot of the X-Files tonight. Memorable quote
What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science. The answers are there. You just have to know where to look.

choice
Now, since the real test for any choice is having to make the same choice again, knowing full well what it might cost - I guess I feel pretty good about that choice, 'cause here I am, at it again. — Oracle, The Matrix Revolutions
