Maybe they can make it with green cheese.

Don’t Bring A Rock
…to a cross-bow fight:
Officer Dino Delimitros says the boy and a friend were throwing rocks in the Linda Vista neighborhood Monday afternoon when a passenger in a black Toyota RAV4 pulled out a crossbow and fired.
I’m guessing that his future lithokinetic activity will be curtailed somewhat.
My Office Is Unbroken
For those curious, I’m not sure what the problem was, but I fixed it by:
# yum remove openoffice*
Reboot
# yum install openoffice*
And now it works.
Something You Don’t See Every Day
Moammar And Leeza

Gee, look at what the Taiwanese animators have been up to.
Just Like Delicate Snowflakes
No two fake barfs are alike. A fascinating history.
Who’s Had The Hardest Life?
Moammar Whathisname or Keith Richards? Actually, Moammar’s been having a rough year, and I suspect it’s about to get substantially worse.
Web Server Bleg
Geek Alert for this post.
I’m running a web server app on my computer, which I can address by http://localhost:8080/webapp, where “webapp” is the app.
It works fine, but in theory, I should be able to access it from another machine on the network via http://localhostIP:8080/webapp, where “localhostIP” is the IP address of my machine, but I can’t. It just times out.
I’ve even installed Apache on the machine, and I’ve set up a reverse proxy in the Apache config file per the following:
ProxyRequests On
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168
#Set up reverse proxy for Webapp server
ProxyPass /webapp/ http://localhost:8080/webapp/
ProxyPassReverse /webapp/ http://localhost:8080/webapp/
ProxyPreserveHost On
Again, where “webapp” is the actual webserver that I’m trying to access remotely.
When I try to access this from either a remote, or my local machine, by http://localhostIP/webapp, I get the message: “The requested URL /webapp was not found on this server.”
Any Apache gurus who can tell me what the problem might be? I’ve opened up firewall to both http and https.
[Update Friday morning]
Problem solved. As noted in comments, it was a combination of allowed ports and SELinux.
A Primer For Rioters In Texas
…but probably not in London. Yet.
It’s an oldie, but worth a read: six non-lethal weapons that you’ll wish had killed you.
The Script That Bombed
I hate when this happens:
A writer desperate to get a movie script read suffered the ultimate rejection Thursday when police blew up a briefcase he said contained the screenplay after an agent refused to read it, police said.
Just another day in Tinseltown. Maybe he can work up a treatment on the story. It would at least be a good opener.
