Scrapbook
I find that when I am browsing my aggregator I am not in the mood to read lengthy articles. I'm just browsing/skipping through the new articles.I had a great problem that I would open up a lengthy article that I would want to read later, only to have to shutdown the laptop and loose all those wonderfully lengthy, and detailed articles lost to oblivion. The firefox extension above is a wonderful tool that allows me to capture pages, easily for later reading. Obviously I could have done a "file->save as", but I did not want to liter my hard drive with articles and, well, that was just another added step that got lost due to laziness. The extension adds an option to the right click menu of firefox, called "Capture Page". This saves the page somewhere (hopefully in the .mozilla or .firefox folder), and you can access it through the View->sidebar->Scrapbook (or Alt-K) for later reading. It just improves the blogging/browsing experience a lot.
Did I mention I'm addicted to firefox and all its extensions :)

We use PostgreSQL at work for a database, together with MySQL. So today I set about setting up PostgreSQL database on my laptop, one I will use for development work on my laptop. I'm running SuSE 9.1 on the laptop, and I chose to go the easy route, and install PostgreSQL through the prepackaged files. I've got Yast configured (SuSE's configuration program) so that to install software the program just goes of to a mirror, and downloads the packages that I want installed. This saves me the hassle of carrying around CD's all the time. And I am not doing a complete install of SuSE on a 20 gig hard drive. I should have space for some Mp3's after all ;)
Once all the postgreSQL rpm's had been downloaded and installed, I took the following steps:
export $PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
export PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
initdb
After editing the pg_hba.conf (which was located in /usr/local/pgsql/data) I did the following:
psql database_name user_name
I may have had to do a createdb database_name but I dont remember. Then I went ahead and downloaded the pg_dumpall > complete_dump_of_database.sql from the server. To dump it back onto my laptop I did:
psql database_name < complete_dump_of_database.sql
That was it. That did it, and now I have the database running locally.
(I may have forgotten some steps inbetween... not too sure... but next time I am doing this I'll take more detailed notes)

What does "Robust" mean?
What does "Robust" mean?:
I should have probably posted this on my software testing blog, but its on msn spaces, and its much easier to post to blogger than it is to post to msn spaces.
One of the problems with this, of course is that "robustness", like "policy" and "session" is one of those words that really has no meaning. Or rather, it has so many meanings that it has no effective meaning.
The problem with "robustness" is that defining what robustness is is situational - the very qualities that define the robustness of a system depend on how and where it's deployed. Thus it is meaningless to consider robustness without first describing the scenario.

There are some articles that are really useful to me. Like the one I linked to above. What if I want to archive the document on my blog. I copy and paste the source of the document, and above the document I give a link for the source of what I obtained the article and the proper credits for the document. Is that legal? Its publicly available information I am archiving for myself. Would it violate a copyright or something?
I guess maybe I should start doing it, and see if someone complains.

All of the features in the new Ipaq sound cool, but really, I have no use for any of these features in real life. I dont listen to much music, hardly ever take photographs, dont need an appointment or todo list, since I already have it on the cell. The only thing I can actually see of worth might be the video player, but a whole PDA for just playing videos? No I need to buy a new computer, which would probably cost as much as this thing!

To say that 3D Edit has a unique interface is a rather large understatement. The fact that the GUI is entirely rendered in 3D means that it diverges entirely from Windows standard features. There is no file menu along the top, and no button bar beneath. Instead, everything is operated using proprietary buttons and dialogues. With no context-sensitive help or tool tips, this takes some getting used to.
Back to DOS days? Are we going to see more and more of this, as companies try to make rich apps that are more visually appealing and supposedly easier to work with. I dont mind either way... I just found that interesting while reading the article. I still use a variety of console apps on Linux and well I have been since DOS days. It will be different for those people who have been using Windows exclusively for the past couple of years.

"It's a wonderfully silly topic, but my point is somewhat serious too.
The 8.5-minute screencast turns the change history of this Wiki page
into a movie, scrolls forward and backward along the timeline of the

animated narration of a document's evolution was technically
challenging, but I think it suggests interesting possibilities."
The evolution of a document over time is an amazing view. How people fed information into the system and how over time, a document evolved. Whats even more interesting though is the work people like Jon Udell are doing. How technology is being used and developed by people who actually want to use the technology at thier disposal. Podcasts to make better use of their computer and audio devices. Creating screencasts of software to show various aspects of software products. Write now this is limited to only technically inclined people. But I have a feeling over time this will not be true. There will be videos of how to navigate complex sites and so forth. There have always been videos of software/hardware on televison, but now the power of creating these videos and distributing them is in the hands of individual users. It still has to shape up a little, but we will get their, just like the information on the wiki page evolved over time.

x180 / james duncan davidson: Mac mini Memory Notes
x180 / james duncan davidson: Mac mini Memory Notes
The reason to crack the case of a Mac mini is, of course, to bump up its RAM to 1 GB without paying $425 to do so. Instead, I payed Crucial $226 for a 1GB stick. Specifically, I bought a CT12864Z335 module (DDR333 PC2700, CL=2.5, Unbuffered, Non-ECC, 2.5V, 128Meg X 64).
Interestingly enough, the OEM memory in the Mac mini was made by the same company as the replacement RAM I bought: Micron, the parent company of Crucial. Even more interesting, the RAM that came in the mini wasn't PC2700, instead it was DDR400 PC3200. This is kind of odd considering that the mini is designed from a cost standpoint. Of course, if you look up the price for 256MB PC2700 and PC3200 modules from crucial, you'll find that they are exactly the same price. Mystery explained.
Bottom line: If you are going to buy a Mac mini and want a gig of RAM, save $200 and spend $5 to get a putty knife to crack your case. It's easy enough to do.
Oh, and to answer the question as to why I didn't get a $160-$190 stick of RAM instead of paying $226 to Crucial: it's all about the quality. Cheap RAM has been the source of almost all of my problems with the Mac. When I put in good stuff, my Macs stay happy. I've never had a problem with Crucial. And now that I've seen that Micron is one of Apple's OEM memory suppliers, I'm even more validated.

Linux Inc.
The crisis came to a head during a tense meeting at McVoy's house, on San Francisco's Twin Peaks. A handful of Linux' top contributors took turns urging Torvalds to change. After an awkward dinner of quiche and croissants, they sat on the living room floor and hashed things out. Four hours later, Torvalds relented. He agreed to delegate more and use a software program for automating the handling of code. When the program was ready in 2002, Torvalds was able to process contributions five times as fast as he had in the past.

No More Internet for Them
No More Internet for Them
This is sad! I wish something could be done about this fast. I love the internet, and I want it to grow. But I've used friends spyware ladden PC and I dont blame these people. However they wont understand. They should be using alternative software. Or even an alternative platform (Linux/Mac). Unplugging is just plain stupid.
I use Windows time and again, and it is quite easy to setup a system that is protected from spyware. I've never had spyware on my system. The combination of software that works for me against spam/spyware/adware/virus/worm is the following:
1. Windows XP with SP2
2. Mozilla Firefox exclusively for browsing (no IE at all)
3. Microsoft Outlook with the SpamBayes plugin
4. Spybot with Teatimer plugin to stop registry changes or activex installs
5. Norton Antivirus updated weekly (automatically)
6. Norton Firewall to protect against worms and stuff (dont remember the proper name for the software).
Once this software is installed, its mostly hands off. Once in a while I'll start up spybot to update the definitions, but other than that, dont have to do much. I think the two most important software products from above are Firefox and Spybot. They keep the system running without any problems. Also, an add step might be running as a user instead of administrator, but I havent had to bother with that yet, and continue to run as administrator. Unlike in Linux, its just too hard to work as something other than administrator.
Ofcourse, most of the time I am in Linux, so I dont have to worry about this stuff as it is :)

KDE Developer's Corner - Konstruct
KDE Developer's Corner - Konstruct
This is a utility that allows a person to compile stable/unstable builds of KDE to try out and install into their homedir. I downloaded the small tar file, uncompressed it in my homedir.
cd konstruct/meta/kde && make install
And thats it. The script downloaded all the prerequired files, compiled them overnight, and compiled it. I had a ready KDE3.4beta1 in the morning, and have been using it ever since. There are some apps that dont get built and you have to go into the apps dir but once you do a make install on them they are also taken care of by the script.

If a new apache build starts running but stops serving pages after a page or two, look at /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log. There might be the following error listed over and over again:
[notice] child pid 18668 exit signal Segmentation Fault (11)
This might mean that the modules in /usr/local/apache/libexec were copied over from another system and are having problems running on the new system. You need to recompile these modules.
To recompile a DSO module you can run:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c module.c
Where module.c is the filename of the source file for the module. If there are more than one source files you need to specify them all. For instance, to compile mod_proxy:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c mod_proxy.c proxy_*.c
There is a command that will automatically install the module to the relevant folder but I prefer to do it by hand. Copy the module.so file to /usr/local/apache/libexec folder and the modify the httpd.conf to load the module.
This should solve the problem of httpd segfaulting.

I'm administering sun solaris hardware now. I've been learning a lot about the subtle differences in solaris from Linux. For instance in place of ldconfig you use something called crle.
Just running crle will give you information regarding the libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
# crle
Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
Trusted Directories (ELF): /usr/lib/secure (system default)
Command line:
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
If you wish to add a directory,
# crle -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/directory_you_wish_to_add
Make sure that the directories listed before by crle are also included.
Just running crle will give you information regarding the libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
