Contact Info

If you message me on any of the following, and I don't reply, please don't assume I received it.

I'm Occasionally Asked For My Comments (but not in the way you think ;-) )

Please feel free to use my pro-forma comments, most of which are derived from the defaults or the ones shared here rather than being written from scratch by me (some are even identical):

  • Import/access them in plaintext or jsonp (last updated 11 April 2013).

I do not claim original authorship of them, but if any of them turn out to be wrong or not very good, that is possibly my fault. :-)

 comment How to remove performance lags while playing Ragnarok on Wine?
@green7 How is this not an answer? It's giving an explicit solution. Please note that even answers that are too short are still answers and not comments. This is more appropriate as an answer than as a comment.

 comment Gnome-terminal and solarized theme Coloring Issue
touch .vimrc will fail after running mkdir ... .vimrc. In the user's home directory, .vimrc can be a directory, or it can be a file, but it cannot be both. Did you really mean mkdir in the first step?

 comment “burn as file or burn content” Which should I choose?
@nixgadgets You're probably looking for the word "extract." I recommend that over "unarchive," since "unarchive" implies that an ISO image is an archive. An ISO image shares some characteristics with an archive and can be treated as an archive, but it is not really an archive, it is a disk image.

 comment Problem downloading or installing anything from Software Center
The problem is that you have only incompletely followed the instructions at How to install software or upgrade from old unsupported release? (which this can now be closed as a duplicate of). You have to replace http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, too. For example, if you're following that answer, make sure to do step 5.
