A Man and his Penguin

I was reading the Dell Ideastorm today - you know, the one where they give the idea to "Put Ubuntu computers on display in stores" alongside the Windows ones.

And it looks like people will use any excuse to say "Ubuntu isn’t ready". Including "But I can’t make money off technical support for Ubuntu! The people who use Windows pay me to get rid of their viruses - what would I do if everyone switched to Linux?"

But the most incredible statement made was this:

@sanbha, This Physician works solo so he did not pay to have a
developer create the custom applications for him. These are software
that he purchased… A couple of them are subscription based. The main
software that he uses to record patient data, billing, insurance and
schedule patients is only available on Windows and MAC, no support of
GNU/Linux, all his other important software are currently Windows only.
The fact is the companies that create these boxed medical software have
no incentive to port their applications to an Open Source OS, not when
a single user box version for Windows/MAC sells for $1000 and support
cost $129/hour.

This
Doctor do use an Apple as his personal computer that he uses to write
his books etc, but not even the MAC has grown up enough to take to work
[my emphasis], unless if you work in the graphics department. (Note, I work at one
of the largest financial companies in the country and there is only 1
MAC (a colored IMAC) in the graphics department, all the other machines
are Windows)

Seriously. This person’s view of desktop-readiness goes something like this:

Q. Is it Microsoft Windows?
A. No
Conclusion: It’s not good enough for work.

But the thread on Ideastorm has given me fodder for the "Mac OS X desktop-readiness" article; look for an update soon.

I just had another kernel panic… well, if I hadn’t rebooted, it would have panicked.

Same symptoms as before - Firefox froze, Compiz crashed, X froze. I managed to pull out the dmesg from Feb 14, which was the first time it happened:

The second time it happened (which was tonight), I was running Kdenlive, which for some reason had started killing Xorg whenever it started up. Switching to Metacity allows Kdenlive to start up, and then I could switch back to Compiz. But Kdenlive was sitting idle in the background - I was using Firefox again, just as I was the first time.

But this time, the only thing in the system log is the "Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)" message. For Windows users, you might think that the "page" is talking about my lack of swap space. It’s not, as my memory usage was only about a quarter of my total RAM. Only Windows users call it "paging". Unix users call it swap, and Mac OS users call it "virtual memory".

This morning I was flicking through a new issue of Atomic magazine. In the questions and answers section, someone asked about whether you can turn off the pagefile if you’re got lots of RAM.

The answer given was along the lines of "You can, but your operating system is smart enough not to use the pagefile if it doesn’t need to so there’s no performance hit; and besides, without a pagefile if you ran out of RAM your computer would crash".

I don’t have a swap partition.

I was just looking up pictures of Miley Cyrus (at that stage I didn’t know about her more Hudgeons-esque photos, honest!) and had quite a few tabs open, when Firefox froze up and went dark. I left it be for a few seconds, hoping it would become responsive again. But instead, the Gnome panels died! Alt-F2 didn’t work for "xkill" so I had to press the X on the Firefox window and wait.

After a few seconds, Compiz died and I was left without a window manager! At that stage I realised that something Very Bad was happening. I tried opening a terminal by right-clicking on the desktop and going "Open Terminal", but the Gnome Terminal never appeared.

So I killed X - control-alt-delete. When I did and was dropped to a text terminal, I found the kernel printing all sorts of messages about memory addresses - it looked like a core dump. X didn’t restart. I tried switching to another terminal and logging in to look at "top" or at least find out what the hell was going on, but the kernel printed messages all over whatever terminal I was in. Eventually, I got the "Kernel Panic: Not synced - attempted to kill init!" message.

Rebooted, then tried to look at /var/log/kern.log. The logs only went to 70 seconds into the last bootup. I guess the bit about "not synced" meant that it hadn’t synchronized the kernel log before it panicked.

I have a theory about what caused the problem. Some sort of errant Javascript caused Firefox to start using up massive amounts of memory. When the system’s RAM usage hit 2 gigabytes, the kernel started killing the smaller programs to try and free up memory. This would explain why Gnome-panel and Compiz died - these programs don’t use up much memory.

I always thought that killing X would also kill all graphical programs. Maybe this isn’t inherently so - maybe killing X only kills graphical programs that are still communicating with X. Firefox had stopped communicating, so it must have still been resident in RAM after X was gone. It continued to use memory until eventually the only thing left for the kernel to kill was Init.

But killing Init crashes the computer. Why wouldn’t the kernel kill Firefox instead?

The other possibility is a fork bomb - a malicious DoS attack against my computer.

But I don’t have any ports poked open in my firewall, and when I went to the same websites again I haven’t had any troubles. What is going on?

Eight years ago, I was in high school and the whole "sorry day" thing started. My tutor was talking about it in class to us, and I interrupted.

"What am I expected to say sorry for? I never did anything to the Aboriginies."

My tutor answered "Sorry Day isn’t about apologising. It’s about expressing sympathy for what happened to the Aboriginies, not attributing guilt."

Now, in 2008, let’s look at the newspapers. Is this an apology (expression of guilt), or an expression of sympathy?

Front page: "Excerpt from the National Apology to the Stolen Generation". "the historic apology" "has vowed to move an amendment to the apology"
Page 6: "News: A Nation Apologises".

Etc etc. On the news they talk about the "apology to indigenous people". Sounds like an apology to me.

But I didn’t do anything. In the 1950s my grandparents on my father’s side came to Australia. My family on my mother’s side has been in Australia for much longer, but also doesn’t have a history of mistreating Aboriginies.

And now that the apology has become a reality, there will be a push towards giving the "stolen generation" monetary compensation. If Kevin Rudd puts a heap of money and initiative toward helping the Aboriginal communities to stand on their own feet, and house and educate those who are currently hobos, I’m all for that; I’d like to see greater Aboriginal participation in our society and I think there’s a lot more they can give.

But merely handing money to Aboriginies has, by and large, not worked. It’s probably made their problems worse. Monetary compensation would likely cost more than cleaning up the remote communities, and would amplify the problems.

This issue is now out of our hands, and even if Kevin Rudd makes a stand against compensation, we can’t expect the same of our traditionally backboneless judicial system.

I’m going down to Busselton from Sunday morning to Wednesday afternoon. I’m really looking forward to it. Work has been up and down lately, especially yesterday and today because we put in a new counter.

On Facebook I added Hobowars. My stats are all at 10, except for begging (which is nearly at 5). I want to work heavily on my begging so I accumulate some cash and get enough money for some good weapons. Due to a competition where I won HW$250,000, I now have a +70 and a -20.

Tonight my father and I went up to the Joondalup markets. We saw a painting there that would look great in our living room, if we get the okay from Mum. She works Friday nights, so I guess I’ll have to get a digital photo of it to show her. We also had a futuristic ice-cream (solid until it hits your mouth) and had a good long look at a giftware store - the one where I bought the little penguin for the top of my computer.

I’ll try and get online during my stay in Busselton; to train my hobo and maybe post blog entries. But I probably won’t be able to. I’ll be back Wednesday evening anyway. I’ve Blacklighted two episodes of Quantum Leap from the DVD box set I bought the other day, so I can watch them on the coach down to Busselton.

I was talking to a guy today about LCD TVs, and I mentioned that the Samsung TVs are the most popular ones we sell. So he asks "Who makes Samsung?".

You’d be surprised, but lots of people ask this incredibly dumb question, no matter what the brand is. And it’s not just TVs - people have even asked "Who makes Nobel?".

The ABSOLUTE ONLY time that there’s an unusual answer to the question "Who makes brandname?" is when you’re talking about the Electrolux family. There you’ve got Simpson, Westinghouse, Volta, Kelvinator, Dishlex and Chef; all of which are made by Electrolux. Even then, does it matter?

Who makes Samsung?

SAMSUNG DO!

A new one from the files of anti-plasma FUD.

"No, I don’t want a plasma, they give off too much radiation."

Oh right! I was wondering why I was growing a third arm. I’ll just call Panasonic Spare Parts and order a geiger counter.

EDIT: I just took a look online for "plasma TV radiation" and I found that it is indeed a myth-in-circulation. Now I wish that I’d told her that it was a myth.

Imagine that your friend in Sydney had leaky valve in her heart, and would die without an operation to fix it. However, the operation itself could be fatal. Still, she decides to go ahead with it; it is scheduled for two months’ time.

You immediately ask your boss for some time off so you can go and be with her; because after all, if the operation goes wrong, you’ll never see her again. Your boss agrees, and you schedule a flight out to there.

But then, two weeks before you are due to leave, your boss becomes remarkably silent on the topic of your trip; in fact, in one conversation you overhear, he says "IF" you go to Sydney.

Finally, just over a week before you leave, he says that you can’t go to Sydney next week because he wants to take some time off. He wants to take his niece on a fishing trip, so you’ll have to work.

Whether or not you immediately quit that job would depend on how much you needed a job. But you’d be furious, and SO sad, and if you stayed in the job you would try desperately to cancel the airline tickets… and maybe you can’t.

That’s what it’s like to be an Australian Spice fan, except that quitting your job and going to Sydney anyway isn’t an option.

If it was a genuine "family committments" reason, it would be easy to reschedule the other tour dates - I mean, they hadn’t even been rescheduled after the extra US concerts were added. If the kids have to go back to school and Victoria wanted to be there, simply reschedule for during school holidays. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezie. None of this "Who knows what the future will bring" bullshit.

But they didn’t. They’ve gained a quick inflow of cash and a quicker inflow of publicity for themselves. They can now go and do whatever solo projects they want and be guaranteed sales. Or rather, Mel C can. Disgustingly, her fans are sticking by her, even though this is obviously her fault.

The SG Defender 1 Rule: When a group breaks up, the former member who launches their solo career first is the one who broke up the group.

Well? The rule extends to cancelled tours: When a group cancels a tour, the member who releases a press statement saying "It’s not my fault" is the one who caused the cancellation of the tour.

Mel C did that. Even though the tabloids unrealistically blamed Mel B as well, she hasn’t said anything. Mel C knew that she was an obvious target for blame, so she immediately put her fans back onside by saying "I really wanted to continue the tour".

How disgusting. Her fans do believe her, even though the last 9 years tell a different story.

An interesting message posted on Tuesday January 29 - days before the announcement that the rest of the Spice Girls tour was going to be cancelled.

I asked them to issue a statement regarding the Rest Of The World tour…

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your email. Your request has been noted.

Unfortunately we cannot release this information through email. The best
place to find all the latest announcements regarding the tour can be found
on http://www.thespicegirls.com. If the tour does go to Australia, it will be
announced on the website first.

Regards,

Sarah

Then "Xeriffe" posted:
its more like they are saying If not to throw their image on a trash
bin like, if they say they wont be going now, while the tour is still
up on north america, is worse than cancelling the other dates after
this leg ends. Both ways are a very very nasty way to do that. They
should have cancelled the dates back in october. bitches.

Then "Xmariano" posted: I think you’ve nailed it. That’s exactly what they’re doing, they will
wait until they are done with the USA to minimize the press backlash.
Bitches.

So it looks like the news was virtually bursting out of the seams of 19 Management, and a handful of Spice fans got wind of it days before the announcement.

Bitches.

People are right to get upset, and angry. It’s also natural for the fans to want to call names.

Long-time Spice fans have stuck with the girls through thick and thin. Back in the old days, we were verbally abused and some of us were spat on (like me) or beaten up (like others) simply for liking the Spice Girls. In our spare time, we talked about the Spice Girls, made websites about the Spice Girls, digitised TV and radio appearances and put them online. This took up a lot of spare time.

We also kept smiling even through worrisome stories from the tabloids that mostly ended off not being true; as well as media types constantly having a go at the group.

In 1998, they said that they’d release a new album in 1999. All through 1999, they said they’d release an album at the end of the year. Eventually, with very little promotion, they released it at the end of 2000. And it was so terrible. What a let-down.

Still, we stuck with the Spice Girls, even though they split up without announcing a split. Many of us even supported all their solo careers for a while. We tried to keep the Spice fan spirit alive for six years. Some people even spent a lot of money continuing to collect Spice merchandise.

The Girls often said, individually, that if they did another tour that they would tour Australia.

Finally, they reunite and announce another tour, including Australia. We dust off our union jack dresses and platform shoes (well, not me, I’m a bloke!) in preparation. Many of us buy the white, black and box-set GHs, as well as the Headlines single. Once again we spend a lot of time and money voting for the Girls on chart radio and TV shows, although this time through SMS rather than through actually calling.

Most importantly, we plan our lives around this event that we’ve been waiting a decade for.

We even tolerate the tour dates being descheduled in favour of more shows in countries that they have already performed in, even though it has destroyed the plans we made that we probably can’t change any more. We still stay loyal to the Spice Girls after years of being taken for granted, simply because we love the Spice Girls and know that the rewards for fan-dom are better than than the problems.

And then they pull the rug out from under us.

It feels literally like a kick in the stomach.

Spice fans are finally letting their frustration out, and I suspect that they are firing at the correct targets. After all, Simon Fuller knows how to manage a band; he kept S Club 7 together for such a long time even though they were all utterly miserable by the end :-)  The Spice Girls weren’t together again for long enough, nor hard enough under the pump, to have to "get out" of the tour.

My fellow fans, let fly with both barrels and you will feel better. It won’t bring the tour dates back, but we need the release. Also, if you don’t want to participate in the frustration-shedding, please don’t try to stop those who want to. We all need support at a time like this, for many hearts have been broken.

I’m sure once the dust has settled, many things will have changed in the Spice fan community. We’ll probably lose a lot of faces too, which will be very sad. But I’m sure eventually we’ll reach a new stability and somehow keep the true spirit of Spice alive.

I feel your sorrow.

I joked to someone the other day that you could apt-get a picnic lunch from the Ubuntu repos. And you could!

Start with jam and scons
Then have burgerspace and xserver-xorg-driver-chips
If you’re watching your weight, you could instead have an r-cran-sandwich, or a blt
For dessert, you could have cakephp with your choice of cream or icecream
And as for drinks, you can have a qbrew or even a sun-java6-jre
