Went to bed at nine and woke up at four. Slept well.
Mid eighties and thunderstorms today.
Took another forty-five minute walk this morning before sunrise. Saw another rabbit, a dragonfly, ducks, geese, and a couple of bats!
Goals:
Work:
- Order IT laptop?
- Work on HZ firewall
- Configure last 48-port switch
Nope. Gah. Today was a waste.
Home:
- Figure out a simple C project to work on (ncurses or a simple server?)

$ sudo apt-get install ncurses-examples
$ dpkg -S ncurses-examples

$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Hmm. Look at http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/. It appears to abstract curses, so it's multiplatform and can also render with sdl.
Also spent some time doing exercises in K&R to brush up on my C.
- Set tmux key bindings to switch windows
Done. M-F1...M-F9. Not totally happy with that.
Questions:
- Why the hell is Firefox so slow? Slow to render pages, slow to scroll pages, and generally laggy UI.
NoScript seems to be the culprit.
- How do I stop zsh from removing the trailing slash of directory names?
setopt no_auto_remove_slash
- How many rows could a VT100/VT220 display at once?
24 rows, 80 columns
http://vt100.net/docs/vt220-rm/chapter1.html#S1.2
The VT220 uses a monochrome monitor with the following features.
24 rows × 80/132 columns
7 × 10 dot matrix in a 10 × 10 cell for 80 columns
7 × 10 dot matrix in a 9 × 10 cell for 132 columns
800 (horizontal) × 240 (vertical) pixels (80 columns)
1188 (horizontal) × 240 (vertical) pixels (132 columns)
