Noswyl Nadolig, gwnaethon ni agor anrhegion gan fy rhieni. Cafodd Rat socs a "smellies". Fuodd smellies ddim yn braf. Ces i tri neclis ac un breichled, pethau o traed, daliwr am neclisau ac disg USB gan fy nhad. Aethon ni tŷ mam Rat ar Nadolig. Gwnaethon ni agor anrhegion a cawson ni cinio Nadolig a chwaraeon gêmau. Buodd hi Nadolig normal.

We found Zelenka dead today. I'd noticed that the water hadn't gone down as much as it normally would so went to their cage to look for them. I disturbed Carson who was asleep in the house but couldn't find Zel. Then I found him under some other bedding and he didn't seem to move. I moved away and Rat checked and found that he was indeed dead. We have no idea why - he was perfectly fine two nights ago - there were no wounds and he looked perfectly peaceful. We've buried him in the garden.
Here are some recent and not so recent pictures of baby Zel.

I was having trouble installing a perl module on Linux Mint despite the same module installing fine on the Linux Mint machine next to mine. Scrolling up through the errors it seemed that various .h files were missing. A quick search online and I discovered this post on the Ubuntu Forums. For those who have the same problem and don't want to read the post the solution is pretty damn simple:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Or searchh for build-essential in synaptic and install it that way.

Dw i ddim yn cael y gwaith bod ro'n i'n cyfweld am wythnos diwethaf. Dw i'n hapus achos ro'n i eisiau y secondiad mwy. Dw i'n wedi y cyfarfod Dydd Iau am trafod y prosiect. Dw i'n cynhyrfu! Er hynny, ces i dau cyfarfod heddiw bod gallu dwyn mwy gwaith yn fy nghwaith normal. [I had two meetings today that might bring more work in my normal work - or something like that]
Sioc! Arswyd! Mae Alan Davies yn ennill QI ar Dave ar y teledu.

Dw i newydd gweld Child's Play 2. Mae hi'n yn ffilm ffôl. Mae hi'n un o y ffilmiau ychhydig pa le dydy Jenny Aguttar ddim noeth. [I really hope I just said that it's one of the few films where Jenny Aguttar isn't naked] Hoffwn i gwybod sut wnaethon nhw arall ffilm wedi roedd Chucky yn marw.
Dw i ddim yn eisiau gwylio y ffilmiau arall! Dw i wedi cyswllt am dau blogiau technegol Cymraeg - Ubuntu Cymraeg a Cysgu ar bron y mynydd - ar y ochr de am fy mlog.

Daeth fy mrawd ymweld â ni dros y Nos Wener. Wnaethon ni ddim byd yn fawr [nothing much?], ac eithrio bwyton ni fwyd sal. Cawson ni McDonalds a sglodion ddoe a Frankie and Benny's pitsa heddiw. Buodd fwyd braf ond buodd pesgi. Siopon ni hefyd: prynodd fy mrawd llyfrau gitâr amdano i am Nadolig. Aethon ni IKEA heddiw ond do'n ni ddim yn gallu prynu beth ro'n ni eisiau prynu. Yn lle prynon ni fwy bwyd. Wedyn aethon ni Eglwys Gadeiriol Llandaf, ond roedd y drws yn ar gau. O'r diwedd, cyn gadaelodd fy mrawd am cartref, wnes i ganu fy ngitâr amdono fe. Dw i'n meddwl bod roedd e'n mwynhau ef ei hunan.

Heddiw, cawson ni ein dosbarth Cymraeg diwethaf. Dysgon ni pethau fel "arestiwyd y dynion" ac "anafwyd pump o bobl" a "lladdwyd pump o bobl" - buodd y uned yn enwi "Trafod Newyddion". Buodd hi yn eithaf afiach. Gobeithio, bydda i dechrau adolygu y cwrs yn fy mlog. Dw i'n meddwl bydda adolygu pob un uned ar y amser. Yn newyddion arall, penodwyd fi i secondiad heddiw. Dw i'n cynhyrfu. Mae e'n seinio diddorol. Mae e'n hawdd i teithio i hefyd. Bydda i'n gweithio am secondiad am tri diwrnod ac am gwaith safonol am dau diwrnod.

This is more a heads-up or reminder for myself. I discovered last week that for some reason the bilingual website I've been developing wasn't translating properly. Certain aspects of the Welsh side of the site were showing up in English despite already being translated. I thought at first that maybe something had been deleted in the database. Then I thought maybe it was a cache problem having recently moved from development mode to production mode. I couldn't seem to find any reference to the problem on the web. And then I realised that it was two specific models not translating: the two with tagging.
I was using the Globalize plugin for the bilingual aspects of the site and has_many_polymorphs for tagging (since it has a nifty little tagging generator). I removed has_many_polymorphs and all references to it and sure enough translations work fine again.
Strangely enough, things were working fine on my development computer despite using exactly the same versions of Rails and the two plugins. How very annoying.

The phrase above was coined by my other half but the idea was one we jointly came to through discussion. We're both used to LiveJournal and the idea of security settings and friends. While we both like the idea of having blogs hosted on our own domain we lose that aspect of LiveJournal. We can still watch other people's journals with RSS feeds and we can still comment on their journal with OpenID. But there doesn't seem to be anything out there that allows security settings like LiveJourna and even if there is our friends would need special logins for the site.
I was thinking about how you might get round this and I was thinking that OpenID would be ideal for authenticating some kind of blogging security/friends system. Or there could be a system like the Drupal CMS where you can create an account on one Drupal site and log into another. The problem with the Drupal idea is that it's dependent on everyone using the same blogging software. What would be better would be some kind of protocol - some addon to OpenID - that blogging platforms like LJ or Blogger, and blogging software like Typo and Mephisto, could use to allow a network of blogging friends.
I wish I was smart enough to come up with an idea how to do this, or connected enough to sell the idea to others. But for now it just sits here as a wish.
