Just found this cool Java source Code Formatter: Jalopy. It seems to work really well. Although I did find one thing I think is a bug.
Linux From Scratch – Progress
Didn’t notice until installing binutils failed that I’d had a typo when creating the initial directory structure. I had $LFS/usr/man linked to $LFS/usr/shar/man instead of $LFS/usr/share/man.
Ah well, fixed it and set of the compile build again. I’ll have to rebuild bash too.

Linux From Scratch
Started installing Linux From Scratch on Pingu tonight.
So far so good. The machine I’m doing it on is a little slow. So the first thing I built (Bash) which it was suggested would take around 3 minutes took more like 8. Ah well, I’ll take my time anyway.
I’m going to record everything I do which is different from the LFS book. But so far nothing unusual has been required.
I’ve got Bash installed and Bin-utils is compiling as I type.
I’m going to leave it going and get off to bed. Got to go to work in the morning!
Later days

Sunday
Fitted the shelf in the kitchen alcove. Amazingly it actually fitted first time! Got the kitchen hi-fi connected and working (on the new shelf).
Took the opportunity to re-arrange the cables for the PC speakers and the mouse. Much more convenient. All done by 1pm.
Steve, Kim and Megan came round followed by Paula (Jan’s niece) and her new boyfriend Alan. First time I’d met him. Nice Guy.
We spent the rest of the day chatting and having a laugh. A really good day.
Later I flicked through the cable channels without actually watching anything and went to bed early.

Fixed links
I’ve fixed all (?) the external links to open in a new window.
Makes it easier to get back here 😉
A Productive Day
A good day today:
- Finished the cupboard on the new computer desk.
- Bought the shelf for the alcove in the kitchen (will fit it tomorrow).
- Got my watch for my birthday next week. This one:
It’s an Accurist Sports Chrono from Argos.
- Fixed the overflowing toilet cistern (the float was letting in water and not doing much floating).
- Bought sticky pads for the rear view mirror which is about to fall off (will fit tomorrow).
- Did sixteen minutes on the gravity walker (1000 steps)
- Sat and watched a film with Jan and Jamie (The sound of Music 🙂
- Got Pingu, Pingi, and Igloo’s keyboard and monitors working through the KVM. Pingu’s mouse doesn’t work though 🙁 I guess you can’t connect a PS/2 mouse to a serial port, but then why do they sell the adapters?
Jay and Silent Bob
I recently read a very, very funny graphic novel call Jay and Silent Bob — Chasing Dogma. Recommended if you are broad minded and like ‘yoof’ humour.

Wiki Wiki Web
I’ve just installed a Wiki Wiki Web at work on our internal development server. The implementation I have chosen is TWiki.
I’ve just told the guys in my team about it, and asked them to have a play with it. We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve got some learning to do myself. It should be very useful. At least I hope so.
