Find the last five IP’s I logged in as

So, to find the last five IP’s a user called “user” has logged in as, do this from .. well, a commandline.

last -i | grep user | head -n 5

Last shows the last (lots) of users that logged in, the -i shows IP’s, then you use grep to filter by the word “user” and use head show the top five. Yay, all done.

Rainbows n’ shit.

Your rainbow is strongly shaded green and red.

What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You appreciate energetic people. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You get bored easily and want friends who will keep up with you.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

I don’t really know why I do these things, I know me already.

Too many mind.

I just had one of the best rides in the wet since my first night on the bike. I basically said to myself “shut the fuck up and ride” and did so. I loosened my typical vice-tight grip on the bars, tightened up my knees like one should on the bike and just rode it smooth. Remembering to think less about the fact that I had a bit of water on my visor and just watching the road was a good thing too.

I’ve been fearful of the wet because I don’t like the feeling of the bike being unstable under me. It reminds me too much of the feeling of the bike going down while heralding a expensive, annoying and boring couple of weeks.

Tonight it didn’t slip or shudder, sailing along as smooth as silk. I kept my speed to under about fifty and I was doing not much above walking speed for some of the corners, but it was smooth and that’s what matters.

Good times, now all I need to do is work on trusting the bike.

And convincing a mechanic I trust to service the engine and suspension.

EPS Files on Gimp

So, I love running GIMP, it’s good fun. Easy once you learn it, lightish on resources and best of all it’s free. The PortableApps.com edition has been getting some loving from me of late – who can complain when it brings your settings along easily! :D

I tried opening an eps file the other day and ran into a problem – GhostScript isn’t installed as standard.

After installing the 64-bit version for windows from here, there was only one more thing to do. Google-fu got me to a german-language page (translation here) that showed me most of how to fix it. Below is a sample default.env file to show the Gimp where to go ;) The file has to be %GIMPFOLDER%\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\environ\default.env and has to have all the extra newlines according to the original page (and it worked after I did that, don’t ask.

# Example entry in files like these

# FOOPATH=/path/to/foo/stuff

 

Path=C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.0\bin

 

GS_LIB=C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.63\lib\

 

GS_PROG=C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.63\bin\gswin32c.exe
