I needed to write an iso image to a USB key, and the typical way is with just dd(8), but I wanted a progress bar. A quick google later, and I get:
pv -tpreb isoname | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1024 Which will write the iso image to the USB stick sdd, and give me a progress bar, tell me how fast it is writing, and give me an eta when finished.

<article>
So, I am starting a new personal project at the house, and I need a new server. As I was wanting to learn more about the BSD, I started looking around at things like FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD.
Since there was a security part, I started with OpenBSD. One of the things I noticed quickly while doing my research is that while there is a lot of documentation, they do not really seem to care about making it easy for new folks to join the project, nor are the trying to support new-fangled hardware, like bootable USB drives.

So, I use rxvt as my daily interface to my computers. I also use mutt for my email reading pleasure. Sometimes, I get URLs in email and I want to read them in a browser. If I was using a GUI based mail reader, I would just click the URL to open it. Well, there is an easy way to set up rxvt to do that!
Using the fine Arch Linux wiki entry for rxvt unicode, the solution is quite easy.

Today is All Saints Day, so it seems natural to let duckland.org start new again.
As is popular in Hollywood, I have decided to reboot this web site after 6 1/2 years. I have not decided about the old content.
I am planning on using this as a technical notebook. Shrug I hope to make it worth while.

<article>
Way back, I wrote a quick blurb on Window Managers for running under X.
Well, a while back I switched to Ubuntu for my OS of choice. As you may know, the fine folks at Ubuntu switched to default window manager to something called Unity, which caused a stir. I tried it for a while, but decided that it was too heavy, and too mouse-centric.
So, what to do? Well, I went back to my old standby wmfs, Window Manager From Scratch.
