XTEST extension
Another computer-related one. If you did the Mac 10.5.7 upgrade recently and now find that you cannot run the MATLAB editor due to some X11 XTEST extension not being installed, check out this article to enable the extension:

dream last night
An amusing dream I had last night which I want to share.
In my dream I was at work. I don't recognise/remember the environment but I know I was at work. We were in a meeting but I don't know who else was there at this point. Then I saw a familiar face syt22 so I called out to him. I asked him what he was doing at my work. Turns out that he was now working at my research lab. I said that was rather surprising seeing how he being a lawyer and all artsy-type. So I probed further about what exactly could a lawyer be doing at an radiology research lab. Now this gets really interesting: he's here to write a bit of Perl script to parse legal documents and find/tag keywords in them. So I started thinking how this would work, and where the dollar variables would come in. (I only just started learning Perl, for real, you see.) Then we have a bit of a chat and some of his other friends, whom I've briefly met them in real life or seen Facebook pics, appear in my dream too.

So I guess I've been thinking too much about syt22's upcoming wedding dinner. And maybe too much about work and coding. I never thought I would have in one dream: syt22 and his friends, research lab, and Perl. But I do (now I mean, not last night) wonder if law firms could make use of something like the above. Maybe they already do!
