Halloween zombie mistaken for murder victim

BERLIN (Reuters) – Passengers on a German train mistook a Halloween reveller dressed up as a gore-covered zombie for a murder victim and called the police.

The 24-year-old man fell into a drunken slumber on his way home from a Halloween party in Hamburg, police in the northern town of Bad Segeberg said on Monday.

crazy :)

New glTail version, yay! Authentication failed, Boo!

I downloaded the latest version of glTail and got an authentication failed error:

cheetara:~/Desktop will$ ./gl_tail-0.05.rb
Connecting to myserver...

I am using key based authentication to my server so I had previously set the password to:

:password => ''

This worked in the old version but to get it to work I in the new version I had to change it to this:

:password => nil

glTail – Pretty logs

glTail is really pretty, I just wished I had more traffic :)

This is is glTail mid-way through showing a request for my jokes site:

There is a more impressive video on the glTail site. I am not sure how useful it will be, but it is nice to look at.

OS X screen grab keyboard shortcut

According to this page:

“Command-Shift-3 shortcut for taking a screen capture of your entire screen”

Useful, but even better:

“Command-Shift-4, … gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture.”

That is really great. There are a couple of other options for saving the screen grab to the clipboard instead of the desktop.
