Not a lot of people seem to know this but yum is very fast if you change the metadata expiry time out to a higher value and run yum makecache once. apt and synaptic is available in the Fedora repository as well.

yum install apt synaptic

Comment on XTerm Meta Key Weirdness by William

Awesome. I found this page via Google and it solved my meta key woes since I switched to dwm.

Anyway, you can add the following entry to your .Xresources file to make the change permanent:

XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true

To load the changes without restarting X, run

xrdb -override .Xresources

Thanks. This is just great. I’ve been struggling with this since I went from KDE to IceWM (few weeks ago) and replaced Konsole with Xterm.

Comment on FizzBuzz in PHP by Jeremy Coleman

Jeremy Coleman — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:42:18 +0000

I found this post randomly googling some PHP issue and thought I would put my spin on it. I consider myself a below entry level programmer, it’s a hobby that I hope to someday turn into a job. Anyway, here’s my convoluted solution.

$c = “Fizz”; $d = “Buzz”; $e = “n”;

for($i=1;$i<=100;$i++){ $a = $i%3; $b = $i%5; if(!$a){ if(!$b){ echo $c.$d.$e; }else{ echo $c.$e; } }elseif(!$b){ echo $d.$e; }else{ echo $i.$e; } }
