Facebook does (not) import my Google Buzz public feed
First it didn’t, what surprise 😉
Update / 2010-06-23 17:00:
Works now.I actually first tried that through “Import an External Blog“, and you can only name there a single one. But they seem to reject that because of some details in the XML, that they don’t like 😉
But you can always use NetworkedBlogs for more letting other streams like blogs and whatever RSS feeds flow into “your” Facebook (wall). -
Photo Booth on OS X
It was time to change the pics on Facebook, Skype etc. again.
Wondered how to take a few pics using the MacBook.
Finally found Photo Booth.
Move the utility’s window to that corner of the screen, where you want your face to look at, otherwise your eyes look into the “wrong” direction. Sounds obvious, I know. -

some old funny Python anti-Perl and Ruby anti-Python propaganda
Have you ever come across this
this piece of Python anti-Perl propaganda? The article that referred to it is actually Ruby propaganda and dated 2004-07, so that anti-Perl propaganda is even older than that. The Ruby now found a followup. Look and enjoy!By any chance: isn’t there any gifted artist around, that the Perl community can make use of in order to create some Perl-minded stuff?
Update / 2010-08-05:
In response to my re-share here more sweet perl vs. ruby vs. python propaganda got created by Mark Keating:

debugging my .procmailrc
It’s usually not really big fun, if you find a message like this in your procmail log file: “procmail: Missing action“.
Well, I don’t yet know of a procmail syntax checker, which is rather a pity, so the debugging is of a dynamic kind.
Just add “VERBOSE=on” in the beginning of your .procmailrc, enjoy the flood of “procmail: No match on …,”, and find your “procmail: Missing action” occasionally in the middle of it. You found the corrupted rule then. The rule in question might actually be a very rarely used one resp. one pretty at the end of your .procmailrc, so it may take a while resp. a couple of incoming mails, until it gets used and shows up.
Once you found and corrected the offender, I am quite sure, you will remove “VERBOSE=on” very quickly.Update 2013-01-07:
This article attracted far too much SPAM, so I had to disable commenting.
