Zachary Quinto will play Spock in the upcoming Star Trek movie. Sylar is definitely one of the most memorable characters in Heroes, so I have high hopes for the new Spock!

RDF API for PHP 0.9.5: Bug with ResResource and ResModel::find
Jul 19, 2007
I ran into a problem when using the statement-centric find(…) query using the OntModel with the RDF Vocabulary. The specified RDF resources were treated like NULL in the find function. In order to fix this, create a ResProperty instead of a ResResource, and all will be well. This can be done like so:
$rest = $this->ontModel->find($statement->getObject(), [...]
Customizing EMF XML Serialization
Jul 17, 2007
It’s unfortunately that much documentation on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is scattered around the ‘net. After digging through the EMF newsgroups (which are immensely useful, and full of useful information!) and several articles, I pieced together how XML serialization of an Ecore model can be customized using ExtendedMetaData EAnnotations.
However, when saving the model the [...]
Turn off caching on the PHP SOAP extension
Jul 17, 2007
WSDL not being updated from your PHP SOAP app?
After struggling for three hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my web service, it turned out that the WSDL was being cached by the PHP SOAP extension. To disable WSDL caching, add the following lines to the php.ini configuration file:
[soap]
soap.wsdl_cache_enabled = “0″
You should also [...]

Intel Metro Laptop - Thinnest laptop in the world
Jul 11, 2007
Crazy. I don’t know why there’s this obsession over thin electronics (like the Moto RAZR), but the Intel Metro laptop is insane. Take a look. I love my chunky Thinkpad Z61p, but hey, if Intel can pack as much power as my Z61p into that small package, then I’m all for thin
Enable root account in Ubuntu
Jul 11, 2007
Ubuntu disables the root account by default. One simple command can re-enable it:
sudo passwd root
To switch to the root user in the shell:
su
Alternatively, you can switch to the root user in the shell without enabling the user account by using the following command:
sudo -s
Suspend2 now known as TuxOnIce
Jul 10, 2007
The Suspend2 project has been renamed TuxOnIce in order to differentiate itself from the actual process of suspending to ram and suspending to disk. TuxOnIce screams geekiness.
Lenovo T61p Announced
Jul 10, 2007
The Lenovo Thinkpad T61p has just been announced. It has the option of a WUXGA (1920×1200) screen, and comes with UWB, the successor to Bluetooth, which allows for 100 megabit transfer speeds… meaning the possibility of wireless port replicators. Imagine hooking up the laptop with your desktop keyboard and monitor, wirelessly. That’s cool. I think [...]
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jul 09, 2007
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one weird movie. It’s one of those movies that get you thinking. It’s also one of those movies that doesn’t really make sense until the end. There’s just so much detail packed into it. Definitely recommended if you’re into strange artsy movies with a touch of sci-fi [...]
Generative Software Development Lab Site Launch
Jul 09, 2007
I’m part of the Generative Software Development Lab and also the designer of the lab website (also powered by Wordpress!)
It’s still a work in progress. We still need a new header image that actually reflects the work in our lab (instead of a badly cropped photo of the Midnight Sun). The publications list is still [...]
The new woggie.net
Jul 08, 2007
Welcome to the new woggie.net. I will be adding more content in the future, so stay tuned!
Update: I started transferring some of the Linux guides from my old site, but found that many of them were outdated and obsolete. It’s great to find that a lot of things just work now with most Linux distributions [...]
