isaac on the inkrunway

I had a good start today with a great sunrise coming into work. I then found out from Anna that out Christmas presents arrived Dec 24th and the dumbass UPS driver left them at our front door, which is right on the sidewalk for our whole building and in plain sight for the apartment complex. obviuosly they were stolen but there isn’t much to be done. I’m pissed off right now with nowhere to direct my rage…

so far it’s as good as the pc. I don’t recall the subtle transparency change in pulling out tabs in the windows version. very light, only 53 mb

So i was struggling to burn some images. My Roxio 2009 didnt install well so i removed it. However, I was left with the fact that the slick native ISO burning in Windows 7 didn’t work. I would double click and it wanted me to select a program or go to the web. There was no right click burn image option. So if you double click, select “select program” then the “Windows Disc Image Burner” is at the top. Select it and now you can right click ISOs and burn them natively in windows.

sudo apt-get install ruby

test: ruby -v

sudo apt-get install rubygems

test: gem -v

sudo gem install rails -y

*note: very slow

sudo gem install mongrel -y

*note: doesnt work with the latest, no worries, webrick will hold you over

sudo apt-get install rails

*note: the gem one didnt seem to work

rails ajaxonrails

*note: will create a /ajaxonrails from your $CWD

cd ajaxonrails

sudo ./script/server -b 192.168.117.140



now you should be seeing the “Welcome Aboard” when you go to http://192.168.117.140:3000/

What was previously erased was me telling her I shot a man in Reno just to see him die after her first bout of messages. Always start with Cash…

I picked these up from buy.com recently when they went on sale for about $30. I’ve wanted Bluetooth earbuds since I got my iPhone 3GS.

on the positive; they have good battery life and I’ve had no issues dropping calls/connection. They have a built in mic and tapping the side starts/ends a call. The volume up/down/eq button is really tiny but I’m getting used to it. The volume is pretty good. And it’s nice to be able to skip tracks, pause video, or call my last contact all from the earpiece.

on the negative; the sound quality is rubbish. They deliver like 5 dollar radio shacks or the walmart Coby special. The process of power off/on is a damn hassle: hold for a while to power off then hold that tiny eq button a whole to engage hold (since it’s too easy to turn them on). No battery indicator (beeps when low but by then you are half way on your workout or bike). They stick out kind of far. Or I have big ears.

verdict; for 20 or 30 they serve a purpose; great for outdoors or driving. But the quality isn’t there to make me switch from my Sony studio phones at work/home. If you need a solution for listening while in motion; get em, otherwise skip it. And note; afaik they only work on the 3gs, not the original iPhone or first iPhone 3g.

So i followed the instructions here to set it up on my test ubuntu box.

As corporate hasn’t exposed an LDAP (well, i think they have, but they wont tell a contractor where it is) so I need to use basic authentication for now.

I created a repository…

 Bash | 
 copy code |
?
 
1
2
svn create \svnroot\reporting
3
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \svnroot\reporting
4

you need to do the chown if your apache runs as someone else than you are logged in as - default jaunty apache2 does this as www-data user

Then I created a place for my workspaces and checked it out:

 Bash | 
 copy code |
?
 
1
2
sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd test
3
# Password:
4
test1234
5
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
6
mkdir ~/workspaces
7
cd ~/workspaces
8
svn co --username test --password test1234 http://localhost/svn/reporting
9

I then used svn add and svn ci to add a file.. but the logs showed a problem ..unknown user...

 Bash | 
 copy code |

long story short.. i neglected to uncomment "Require valid-user" in the conf...

 Bash | 
 copy code |

johnsoi1@johnsoi1-ubuntu:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled$ ls dav_svn.*
03
dav_svn.conf  dav_svn.load

........at end of file....

  #<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

    #Require valid-user

change that "#Require valid-user" to "Require valid-user" and bounce apache... all is well!
