My first class in the spring semester starts in less than eight hours, and I can’t go to sleep. I really don’t have much to say, so I’ll comply with Will’s suggestion and do a review of the year. Continue reading ‘The Year in Review: 2005′

I’ve successfully installed IE for Solaris on Solaris 9, but the installed and the actual binary checks for the OS version, so running it on Solaris 10 is a little more involved than I’d like to do (I’ve totally lost interest once I got it install on Solaris 9). It seems more or less like the one for Windows (and it even comes with Outlook Express).
I’ll write a more interesting post in a little while.
I finally got Internet Explorer for Solaris installed after a suggestion from Mike about using LD_PRELOAD and just rewritting uname(2) (probably learn DTrace anyway for kicks).
There is only one week of winter break left and I have done nothing noteworthy. Maybe that will end this week? Probably not. Also, my sleep schedule has also gone to shit.
(If you are going to be around New Brunswick during the week and want to hang out, send me a message.)
In other news, I still haven’t figured out how to install IE for Solaris on Solaris 10 yet. I’ll probably learn DTrace and figure out how to do it myself, since I can’t seem to find the artice which explained how to use DTrace to fake the OS version given to the Oracle installer. I could try wine (as someone suggested), but the point of the whole challenge was to get the Solaris version install so to compare it to the Windows version.
The Internet Archive has old (duh!) episodes of The Computer Chronicles. I remember watching these back in the day on PBS, so there are some memories in this show. If nothing else, you can see how computers were.
