getting rid of PrivoxyWindowOpen
Privoxy

I'm particularly annoyed by the PrivoxyWindowOpen on pages that I control. Deactivate this textual transformation by adding this to your user.action:

{ -filter{unsolicited-popups} }
PRIVOXY-COMMENT.unfilter-unsolicited-popups
 
Del.icio.us select-and-bookmark Bookmarklet
del.icio.us, bookmarking, bookmarklet

Found this and I modified it for me to add "-toread" automatically.
Don't forget to replace 'YOURLOGINHERE' with your own delicious account name.

javascript:(function(){h=location.href;t=document.title;e=%22%22+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!e)e="";open('http://del.icio.us/YOURLOGINHERE?v=2&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(h)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(t)+'&tags=-toread&extended='+encodeURIComponent(e),'delicious','toolbar=no,resizable,scrollbars,width=720,height=550')})()

Seeing Japanese in your Emacs in Debian
Emacs, Debian

Debian Stable doesn't have emacs21, so we use backports.

echo "deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ woody emacs21"

this backports emacs doesn't have mule-ucs, so we install mule-ucs.

sudo apt-get install mule-ucs -u

Plus we need to define utf-8 to be close to the top of the prefer-coding-system

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'euc-jp)

Enabling the Sleipnir search bar to use Google Desktop Search
Sleipnir, Google

First you wanna enable Search Bar keyword search. Then you define a shortcut key (one letter long), say d for GDS. Then you test it out by typing "d something" and it searches for it. Yippie.

Also, don't forget that pressing Control Shift Enter in the Search bar activates keyword highlighting. And pressing Control Enter highlight select jumps from one search word to the next

ISC DHCP on Cygwin
DHCP, Cygwin

Don't ask me why, but I need an options passing DHCP server on Windows XP Pro and 2000 Pro. Here's the way to add a Cygwin based DHCP 3. Why isn't this a standard package?
