Lemon Crunch Pie The recipe and ingredients that are used in a 9 inch cake tin are covered in the recipe on the 9 Feb 14 , however I did not have a 9 inch tin and could only get a 12 cm so I had to adjust the ingredients: Ingredients: 1 Lemon 100 ml double cream 150 ml condensed milk Base: 90g Digestive Biscuits and 50g Butter Instructions Heat butter in sauce pan, add crushed biscuits. Stir until biscuits are coated with butter. Place biscuit mixture into a pie dish (this amount gives a good base for 22.5cm diameter (9 inch) cake tin), pat down evenly. Place into the oven to cook for 10 to 15 mins at 170° Place condensed milk into a bowl and beat. Grate the peal from all three lemons add to the condensed milk beat. Add the juice of lemons beat. Add the cream and beat. This mixture will thicken. When the base is cool add the lemon mixture. Place in fridge to set.

OpenBSD 7.4 Released Today Upgrade bmx, and php82_fpm was failing to start with a bus error: Dwarf Error: wrong version in compilation unit header (is 4, should be 2) [in module /usr/libexec/ld.so] This gave me the hint that the upgrade had not gone smoothly. The issue was fixed by running bsd.rd on the console and ensuring that the upgrade did not install the xshare, xfont or xserv sets, which had caused a disk full error. bmx was thus successfully upgraded 7.4 !

grep Using grep to find words of a specific length, can be done in a number of ways. grep -E '^[[:alpha:]]{4}$' file grep -E '^[A-Za-z]{4}$' file grep -E '^.{4}$' file grep -E '^....$' file grep '^....$' file grep '^.\{4\}$' file The examples above all give the same results. Using -E option makes the pattern be interpreted as an extended regular expression, thus grep behaves as egrep . It the last example the braces need to be escaped otherwise it would be a literal match on .{4} echo '.{4}' | grep '^.{4}$' .{4} The dictionary files can be found /usr/share/dict/ grep dict

Cinema: Minions An excellent film! Email Disclaimers Do Email Disclaimers Really Work? : an interesting article on the American Bar Assoiciation website, explaining the email disclaimers are not worth the electrons they waste. An interesting misconception that it raises is that adding a disclaimer cost nothing - that it is rubbish - you are adding an enourmous amount of unneccessary storage requirement as that message will be duplicated by the number of times your organisation sends eamils - yes storage is relatively cheap but why are you filling it up and backing up this useless collection of electrons?

DUID Wanted to generate a DUID so that I could mount my htc ion easily, ended up with the following from the flashboot code: cat /dev/arandom | tr -cd "a-f0-9" | fold -w 16 | head -1 This command outputs the arandom device, which is piped to translate characters (tr(1)), using the complement and delete switches together removes all characters that don't match the regex a-f0-9, this is the piped to fold which folds the output at a width of 16 characters - the length of the DUID , and we then just take the first line using head.
