my setup at night (click for a bigger image):

the scottish crew gave me a cool new gift:

this bad boy should be getting added to the cavalcade of machines in use.

this is a real simple way to redirect all hotlinked images to another image in apache from either the httpd.conf or an htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?insert_url_here\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(png|gif|bmp|jpg)$ image_here.jpeg [L]

format is real simple, you just have to change insert_url_here\.com to your url so that any request coming to your server will be redirected to the image in the last line RewriteRule .*\.(png|gif|bmp|jpg)$ image_here.jpeg [L]

make sure to change image_here.jpeg to the path and image that you want to use.

hello all,

as some of you may noticed that the format and layout has changed.

i am in the process of changing from simplephp blog to wordpress since simplephp is no longer being maintained.

all the old posts are going to be brought over to this new layout bit by bit but for now are located at http://www.pissedoffadmins.com/old/

things should be back to normal within a couple of days.

to the one or two of you that read this slop every now and then i apologize for no recent updates.

i have been working on migrating all the content on this site to wordpress since this particular software is no longer being maintained.

look forward to more updates soon.

here is my .conkyrc as used for:

used in this desktop screenshot:

along with:
evilwm, mrxvt, xsetroot, xv (for wallpaper) & xclock

i hate you rage…..

need to convert all the mp3′s in a directory to wave to burn in xcdroast ?

here is an easy way:
for x in *mp3 ; do lame --decode `echo $x | cut -d. -f1`.mp3 `echo $x | cut -d. -f1`.wav ; done

obviously this assumes you have lame installed

EDIT 06.17.09 – converting wma to mp3′s (found this using “the google”, not mine):
for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm:waveheader "$i" && lame -m j -h --vbr-new -b 160 audiodump.wav -o "`basename "$i" .wma`.mp3"; done; rm -f audiodump.wav
this assumes you have mplayer & lame

this shot was yanked from a server at work that we were decommissioning:
