<content:encoded><![CDATA[On the topic of OS's nearing release, Haiku is set for an alpha release in Sep[1]: http://www.osnews.com/story/22001/Haiku_Schedules_First_Alpha_Release_for_September_9
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

If you haven't heard of <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/">Haiku </a>its a rewrite of BeOS from scratch. The aim of the first release is compatibility with the last official release of BeOS: R5. They're a good way down that path. As far as I know many apps that were built for R5 will run on Haiku. I've been following the project for a while now. Back in uni I downloaded an installed BeOS on my PC, this was obviously before the company went out of business/was bought by Palm (I think). The bit that interests me about it is that its GUI out of the box, much like OS X and Windows. Its attributes such as compactness, GUI, open source and POSIX core makes it a great candidate for high level embedded type projects I think. Things like the digital photo frame project I've had in mind for a while. Its one drawback in my mind is that the platform's primary language is C++, which I'm not a huge fan of. However if you're into C++ it might be worth checking out. If I recall correctly large parts of the kernel are written in C++ too.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Google's web browser, Chrome, has been available as a developer preview for some time now. Recently it shifted to beta status and the polish keeps piling on. There are a lot of nice touches in the browser that have contributed to me switching away from Safari such as multi-purpose address/search bar, tab closing behaviour, performance and a supported extension mechanism. Some of these things were discussed in Rob Friesel Jr.'s <a href="http://blog.founddrama.net/2010/01/a-week-with-chrome/">a Week With Chrome</a> and Basil Safwat's obviously tab focussed, <a href="http://www.theinvisibl.com/news/2009/12/08/a-piece-with-a-lot-of-screenshots-about-the-close-tab-behaviour-in-google-chrome/">A piece with a lot of screenshots about the close tab behaviour in Google Chrome</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WezM.net was down again this weekend. The cause this time was the the large <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/melbourne-storm-leaves-bill-in-its-wake/story-e6frf7jo-1225838413382">storms in Melbourne</a> flooding the office where the computer that hosts this site lives. The computer escaped the water but the network and Internet connection did not.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The office is located 60km from home so fixing problems like these have to wait until office hours, hence the extended downtime. This is the second time in an many weeks that I've run into this problem so I've decided to move WezM.net to my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-ITX">Mini ITX</a> server, which is more accessible out of hours as its at home.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
The ITX server flawlessly powered WezM.net from 2005 to 2007 with a personal best uptime of 407 days. I recently dug it up and had planned on running FreeBSD on it. However over the weekend I decided to take the easy way out and just go back <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>, which originally powered the server. Its a little better suited to this server due the wide availability of binary packages; compiling stuff is not fast on an 800Mhz Via C3. In case you're wondering why I'm bothering with self hosting its because I'm too stingy to pay for a <abbr title="Virtual Private Server">VPS</abbr>.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The ITX server lacks a CDROM drive and my previous attempts to boot from USB flash drives have failed. This makes installing new OSes a bit of a challenge. I decided to try out installing Debian via <a href="http://www.netboot.me/">netboot.me</a>. As the name suggests, netboot.me allows you to netboot a PC via the Internet. To do so you download and burn their bootable image to CD, floppy or USB drive. I didn't use any of these though as I already had a 8Mb (yes Mb) bootable CF card with <a href="http://www.etherboot.org/">gPXE</a> installed on it. gPXE is an open source and enhanced network bootloader.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The installation involved the following steps:
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Connecting the CF card to the server (via a CF to IDE adaptor) and booting from it.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Entering the gPXE prompt via Ctrl-b. At this point gPXE had configured the network interface with DHCP.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Boot the Debian installer with the chain command: <code>chain http://netboot.me/2013</code></li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After that it downloads a kernel and initrd image and boots. All directly off the Internet. Brilliant!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ever since the now very quiet drunkenbatman hosted the <a href="http://www.drunkenblog.com/evening_at_adler/">Evening at Adler</a> and Gus Mueller posted, "<a href="http://www.gusmueller.com/blog/archives/2005/12/25.html">How to become an independent programmer in just 1068 days</a>", its has been a goal of mine to one day live the indie Mac developer dream.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Over the years I've dabbled in Mac OS X development but have struggled to find the time in between a full time job and also having a life to be able to see something through from start to finish. I'm convinced the ideas are sound because frequently others eventually release similar products. My last endevour was for a better archiver than that provided by the Finder. It was to be dead simple, taking interface cues from things like <a href="http://appzapper.com/">AppZapper</a>. I discovered a little while ago that the fine folks at Apimac had created <a href="http://www.apimac.com/compress_files/">Compress Files</a>, which implemented my ideas and more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Frustrated by this lack of time I decided to do something about it (after a small helping of procrastination). Last week I successfully negotiated a reduction to 4 days per week at my day job, with the fifth day allocated to Mac development. The first day of my new job is Mon Feb 11, 2008. However I find myself with a bit of a problem, I don't have any current projects to actually work on. Heeding the advice in Gus' post for <abbr title="Think small and make sure you really like what you are doing">Lesson #1</abbr> I'm seeking ideas from the Mac using community for a small application that I can use to get started. So if you got an idea for a small application that you don't mind sharing feel free to post a comment and let me know, it might be just what I'm looking for.]]></content:encoded>

<excerpt:encoded><![CDATA[For some time my grand plan is to one day work for myself as an independent Mac software developer. Starting next week that plan is one step closer as I have reduced my days at my full time job to free up a day to dedicate to Mac OS X programming. The only problem is I need a project to work on. I'm looking for small mini-app ideas that people would like in an effort to find a new project.]]></excerpt:encoded>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[[...] I'm looking for ideas of a small application to work on. I've negotiated 1 day off a week to work on a small Mac OS X development project, now I just need to find the project. Now I'm sure you're thinking one day isn't much but its a start and its guaranteed and uninterrupted so I'm hoping it will give me some momentum. All my other ideas have been implemented by others over the years. My remaining idea is for an app to chop up single file audio mixes file into the individual tracks using a CUE sheet. I'm thinking this is a bit niche for the moment though. More info on my blog: Binary Trance Blog » Blog Archive » Seeking Application Ideas [...] ]]></wp:comment_content>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestion. I decided to go with an original idea I had of an audio file splitter as its something I want for me, which provides good motivation. Your suggestion sounds like it would be quite valuable but it something that I would imagine is more suited to a team of developers given the complexity and size a full blown CAD application would end up being. I hope someone else comes up with a solution for you soon.]]></wp:comment_content>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Still looking for ideas? I've got one that has never seemed to pan out on a Mac..though it might be a tad ambitious.
|

Good, easy to use, Cocoa based professional CAD software. An application that can leverage existing users knowledge of AutoCAD that might even be open source. I would submit that building it as a Cocoa app utilizing OS X’s OpenGL libraries would give you a large step forward in just getting off the ground. I would love to design the interface, suggest features, advise on AutoCAD and even draw up sample files for such a project; but I’m no programmer. The farthest I go is PHP…and basic PHP at that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Most of the CAD software out there for a Mac is crap...utter and complete crap. The only two usable applications at the moment are VectorWorks and ArchiCad and they most definitely don't leverage any AutoCAD knowledge keeping architects and engineers who would otherwise switch to a Mac forced to stay with a PC.
|

Just a thought.]]></wp:comment_content>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[That's true and I've seen many apps that took an existing idea and did it well. I guess what I was getting at with the comment on Compress Files was that they did exactly what I had in mind. So the itch I needed scratched was scratched without me writing it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

I have taken to implementing a simple app that I've wanted for a long time, the audio file splitter mentioned in the third comment. That is progressing, albeit slowly with only one day a fortnight to work on it. I really should write a post about it on here to make my progress more visible, even if only to myself. I shall add it to the end of day tasks of my Cocoa day.]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I encountered a (Microsoft) site the other day that required <a href="http://silverlight.net/">Silverlight</a> to be installed. Given I was using my work laptop (running Windows XP) I thought I'd give it a try. The first attempt at running the setup file I downloaded resulted in the following error message (which was opened in a browser window, not displayed by the installer):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>The Microsoft Silverlight download was automatically extracted to a virtual drive. You should manually extract the download to a physical drive, and then run it from there. Please follow these steps to complete your installation:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Create a new folder on drive C called SilverlightTemp.
|
|||
|
|
2. Save the Silverlight download to this folder.
|
|||
|
|
3. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
|
|||
|
|
4. In the cmd.exe window, type cd C:\SilverlightTemp\, and then press Enter.
|
|||
|
|
5. This step depends on which version of Silverlight you are installing.
|
|||
|
|
* For Silverlight 1.0 Beta:
|
|||
|
|
In the cmd.exe window, type Silverlight.1.0beta.exe /X, and then press Enter.
|
|||
|
|
* For Silverlight 1.1 Alpha:
|
|||
|
|
6. In the cmd.exe window, type Silverlight.1.1alpha.exe /X, and then press Enter.
|
|||
|
|
7. If you receive a User Account Control (UAC) prompt, click Continue.
|
|||
|
|
8. In the Choose Directory For Extracted Files box, type C:\SilverlightTemp, and then click OK.
|
|||
|
|
9. In the Extraction Complete box, click OK.
|
|||
|
|
10. In the cmd.exe window, type install.exe, and then press Enter.
|
|||
|
|
11. If you receive a UAC prompt, click Continue.
|
|||
|
|
12. In the cmd.exe window, type cd.. and then press Enter.
|
|||
|
|
13. In the cmd.exe window, type rmdir SilverlightTemp /S /Q, and then press Enter.
|
|||

14. In the cmd.exe window, type exit, and then press Enter.</blockquote>

After recovering from the initial shock of the installation instructions for a very consumer oriented technology requiring use of the command line, I followed the instructions only to be shown another web based error message:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator for assistance.</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yes, that's right I don't have administrator privileges on my work laptop. Surely the installer could have worked this out at the start of the process. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An interesting email passed through the <a href="http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev">webkit-dev</a> mailing list today. In what appears to be a small glimpse into what goes on in preparation for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenote">Stevenote</a>, Geoffrey Garen (Apple) noted in a reply to an email from Akos Kiss (Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary) that <em>one</em> of the reasons <a href="http://webkit.org/">WebKit</a> likes to do its own thing and not depend on code it doesn't own is to be able to fix problems with very short notice. Citing the example of, "12 hours before a keynote address".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Akos Kiss (Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary):
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>b) JIT compilation to Java bytecode or ActionScript bytecode.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Comment: Huge work. Currently available compiler implementations do not fit to the architecture of the JS engine.</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Geoffrey Garen (Apple):
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>Right. We're also reluctant to rely on code that we don't own. We've seen very large performance wins from tightly integrating and customizing all the components of the web stack. We also need the freedom to fix crashes and compatibility problems on very short notice (for example, 12 hours before a keynote address).</blockquote>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Strangely enough I had the need to determine if it was possible to create a valid but empty tar file. Turns out it is. The method varies slightly depending on your flavour of tar program, here's how to do it on three of the big ones:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>BSD</strong>
|
|||
|
|
<code>tar cvf empty.tar --from-file /dev/null</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>GNU (Linux)</strong>
|
|||
|
|
<code>tar cvf empty.tar --files-from /dev/null</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Solaris</strong>
|
|||
|
|
<code>tar cvf empty.tar -I /dev/null</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now if you wondering why I would want this, here's the explanation. I work on a batch processing system that processes files delivered from other systems. In some cases its necessary to wait for a file to arrive but give up after some time. In order to give up we copy an empty file (automatically) so that the processing proceeds normally. Ordinarily this is an empty plain text file but for the system I'm working on I'm expecting a tar file, hence the need for an empty one.]]></content:encoded>

mkdir /tmp/empty; tar cvf empty.tar -C /tmp/empty .; rm -rf /tmp/empty

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Recently I wanted a to quickly lookup how to do something in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed">sed</a>. As headed for the man page once again I wished I had a quick reference on hand, like the <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlpr3/">Perl Pocket Reference</a> I have. In a slight diversion I did some searching to see if there was a pocket reference for sed, <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sedawkrepr2/index.html">there is</a>, and as a bonus it covers <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK_(programming_language)">awk</a> too.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Armed with the knowledge that the sed reference exists I searched for bookshops in Melbourne to buy it from. This is where it became difficult. No one had it in stock and even if they did it would take at least a whole day to arrive if I had ordered it right then. It was here that I wished there was a delivery service for technical books that could see them delivered with the promptness and low cost of a pizza delivery.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

The need for a technical book, in particular those that are mainly reference material tends to come about with a need-it-now urgency to satisfy whatever the pressing enquiry is. Typically the desired information is available via online documentation or a simple Google search however I tend to prefer references to be in dead tree form and I don't believe I'm alone in this.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Given the relatively huge lead time in actually getting a reference book delivered, the online documentation usually wins and the books remain unordered. For a nominal fee I think if it were possible to have a book delivered within the <abbr title="Central Business District">CBD</abbr> in an hour or so from ordering many more books could be sold to satify the immedaite need for the reference.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now an hour is a long time to wait if you need to look something up now, but it would allow you to look up whatever it is you're after online then for the rest of the day refer to your new reference that arrived a little later. So bookstores, pizza style delivery for technical books, who's up for it?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On a side note, its extremely lame that the <a href="http://www.borders.com.au/">Australian Borders website</a> doesn't have the ability to search for books they stock.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For my current software project I have the need to decode MP3 files for the purpose of producing an <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=audio+waveform">audio waveform</a>. It doesn't need to be overly accurate as the decoded samples will be displayed, not played. However it does need to be fast, as a typical use case for the application will be MP3 files of around 100Mb (full length CDs). The application is for Mac OS X, although the results of my testing below could be useful for other platforms.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Assisted by a code sample from Apple I wrote an initial version of the decoder that would read the source MP3 file and write the raw linear PCM data out to a file. I did this using the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/CoreAudioOverview/index.html">Core Audio</a> framework built into Mac OS X. Once the program was working I tested it against some sample files and came to the conclusion that 4 seconds to decode a 3 min track was great but over 100 seconds for a full length CD, not so great.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I did some searching and came up with two other libraries that seemed well suited to the task of MP3 decoding, they were <a href="http://www.mpg123.de/">mpg123</a> (libmpg123) and <a href="http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/"><abbr title="MPEG Audio Decoder">MAD</abbr></a> (libmad). mpg123 had claims of being very fast, mad claimed it was very accurate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Methodology</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I built the two additional libraries with the default configuration options, except for libmad, which I added the <code>--enable-speed</code> option. With the help of example code I made programs out of each that were comparable to the first version for Core Audio. I.e. MP3 file in, 16-bit Linear PCM audio samples out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To provide a benchmark I wrote a script that would run each of the three programs against a source MP3 file. Each program reported the elapsed time (via <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/time.3.html">time(3)</a>) and the processor time (via <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/clock.3.html">clock(3)</a>) when it finished decoding. The programs were run one after another on the source file 10 times. Their PCM output was written to a new file for each invocation.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
<h3>Environment</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The tests were performed on my dual 1.8Ghz Power Mac G5 with 2Gb RAM running Mac OS X 10.5.2. I didn't make any special attempt to quit all other running programs while I ran the tests but iTunes was paused and nothing was doing anything significant in the background. I also didn't do anything on the computer while the tests were running.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Results</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The results of the tests for my sample MP3s is below. The individual times were averaged over the 10 runs for each library. The standard deviation of the processor time is also included to given an indication of how consistent the decoding time was.

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The results speak for themselves, mpg123 lives up to its claim of being high performance. In all the tests it was consistently around twice as fast - a very impressive result. Its certainly the library I'll be using. Of note it also has quite a nice API. Of the three Core Audio's has the most tedious API but it is low level and capable of quite a bit more than what I was using it for.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I had the need today to read in a list of patterns from a file, expand them and then operate upon each file all from within a shell script. Apparently there is a <a href="http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0210/6m6nb7mas?a=view">shell built-in for csh</a>, but I didn't want to learn csh at that point. The eventual solution was to run an extra shell with the -c argument.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Example:
|
|||
|
|
<pre>#!/bin/bash
|
|||
|
|
FILES=`cat patterns.txt`
|
|||
|
|
for pattern in $FILES; do
|
|||
|
|
bash -c "ls -l ${pattern}"
|
|||
|
|
done</pre>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Can people please stop using the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed:_URI_scheme">'feed:' URI scheme</a> for links to feeds on web pages. Its annoying and unnecessary.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From what I can tell this URI scheme was proposed around Dec 2003 as an unofficial <a href="http://www.25hoursaday.com/draft-obasanjo-feed-URI-scheme-02.html">pre-draft RFC</a>. The reasoning behind the proposal was:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>...to provide a straightforward way for end users to subscribe to the data feed for a particular online resource while browsing the World Wide Web. The expectation is that clicking on a hyperlink that points at a "feed" URI will cause the Web browser to invoke the specified handler for the "feed" URI scheme which SHOULD provide the user with information about the data feed as well as the possess the ability to subscribe to the feed.</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fast forward to 2008 and all the major browsers have support for discovery of feeds specified by the <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_link.asp">link tag</a> and a user interface to access them. Additionally they are able to auto-detect a feed when specified with the normal http URI scheme. With the built in support the browser is able to launch the appropriate feed reader on the system, be it within the browser or an external application; thus removing the need for the URI to be specified with the 'feed:' scheme.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
It seems use of the scheme really took off around the release of Safari 2, which included RSS support. When viewing a feed in Safari it presents the URI using the 'feed:' scheme, thus making its use highly visible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2008/04/picture-4.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2008/04/picture-4.png" alt="" title="Safari feed: URI scheme" width="194" height="30" class="center" /></a>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I understand that using the scheme makes it easy at an operating system level to associate a particular application with the scheme but it should be entirely internal an invisible to the user. The reasons its use irks me is when adding a feed to <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/">Google Reader</a> its necessary to copy and paste the link and then remove the 'feed:' at the start. Additionally Firefox removes the colon from http, meaning that has to be replaced too. Okay so I'm lazy but all the hassle can be avoided by simply linking to the feed with the normal 'http:' scheme.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As an example I'll pick on the <a href="http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/blog/">MildMannered Industries Blog</a> solely because its the first example I could find. The link on the page<sup>1</sup> (at the top) is <span style="white-space:nowrap"><strong>feed://http://</strong>www.mildmanneredindustries.com/blog/?feed=rss2,</span> which when copied via Copy Link Location in Firefox becomes <span style="white-space:nowrap"><strong>feed://http//</strong>www.mildmanneredindustries.com/blog/?feed=rss2.</span>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The other issue I have stems from the terrible DNS or proxy (not sure which is to blame) setup here at work. When a request is made for a hostname or scheme that doesn't exist the browser hangs for about 2 minutes before returning an error generated by the proxy. This happens in all browsers and means that if I click in a feed: link my browser hangs for 2 minutes, which is quite frustrating.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So my request to the wider Internet community: Please stop using 'feed:'.

Randall Munroe proposed the awesomely geeky idea of geohashing via the xkcd <a href="http://xkcd.com/426/">comic</a> and <a href="http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/05/21/geohashing/">blag</a> recently. The idea basically involves using the MD5 hash of a date combined with the opening value of the Dow Jones Index for that date to derive a latitude and longitude relative to a (generally your own) location.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However there is a problem for those of us residing in Australia (and other locations with a time zone significantly different from EST). With the Dow Jones Index operating on US time its not possible to determine a geohashed location in Australia until about 23:00 AEST for a given date. No doubt others have thought of this but I suggest we use the <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^AORD">All Ordinaries Index</a> instead. With that out of the way we just need some enterprising sole with some spare time to implement a version of the <a href="http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/">map</a> based on this.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Update:</strong> More info on geohashing in Melbourne on the <a href="http://visibleprocrastinations.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/geohashing/">Visible Procrastinations</a> blog.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Another Update:</strong> Using the Dow on the weekend works well though. As over the weekend everyone is more or less synced to the same index.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Final Update:</strong> The <a href="http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/05/23/geohashing-followup-change-to-algorithm-for-europe-africa-asia-australia/">xkcd blag has a follow up article</a> that clarifies the behaviour for Europe, Asia and Australia. It boils down to using the previous day's Dow Jones Index.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I use vim coupled with the <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=182">SuperTab</a> plugin for my text editing and auto-completion needs. In some vim setups (E.g. Mac OS X) it is configured by default to search included files when completing words. This sounds like a useful feature but it turns out not to be. It has a habit of searching the include files of system libraries and modules, the keywords of which you rarely want. Its also quite a slow operation as it trawls through all the files. The solution is to add the following in your .vimrc file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>set complete=.,w,b,u,t</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the same set of flags as the default except with the '<code>i</code>' option removed. See the help for the <a href="http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/options.html#%27complete%27">'complete' option</a> for an explanation of what each flag means.]]></content:encoded>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[I've been trying the bookmarklet for a while. It works fine prompting me to enter text to capitalize when I have no selection in the current page.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, in Camino Browser running in my Mac it doesn't detect my text selections inside a form, thus prompting me to enter the text manually in the text box. I guess I'll shall do copy paste, but this could be kind of uncomfortable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It would be great if it could get the text selection iside this forms and automatically replace them.
|
|||
|
|
|

|

Thanks for the work.]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Here's tip for something I worked out today. WordPress blogs generally have an RSS feed available for the comments on a post. This is handy for when you want to see other comments posted without having to remember to check back. The problem is many <acronym title="WordPress">WP</acronym> themes don't provide a link to the feed. The solution is to add <code>/feed</code> to the URL of the post, so for this post the comment feed is at:

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I just sent off the following to Vodafone <a href="mailto:Customer.Enquiries@vodafone.com">customer enquiries</a>. I'm not overly hopeful of a favourable response but thought it was necessary.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>Hi,
|
|||
|
|
No doubt I'm one of thousands sending an email like this but still feel it necessary. I am eagerly awaiting the launch of the iPhone in Australia. I am intending to buy one on the day of release. When it was initially announced that Vodafone and Optus would be carrying the iPhone I had it in my mind that I would take the opportunity to swap to Vodafone from Optus. I have been a constant Optus customer since getting my first mobile phone in 1999.The complete lack of communication from Vodafone has put me off though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In order to make an informed decision on launch day it would have been nice to have plan details available at the very least a week before. With three days remaining its now getting beyond a joke. I understand that there may be other factors at play here. However given you have an audience that have voluntarily signed up for updates it would have been pro-active and open to communicate with these people and let them know what was holding up progress or at least when to expect more information (with more certainty than "very soon").
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At this point are you able to provide any more detail than that which is publicly available already?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately unless the plans eventually announced are particularly compelling I expect I will remain an Optus customer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Regards,
|
|||
|
|
Wesley Moore</blockquote>

<strong>Update:</strong> I never got a response and bought my iPhone from Optus.]]></content:encoded>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[[...] Yeah we probably should calm down about this whole thing and sure in the grand scheme of things its not a big deal but that doesn't change the fact that business with which we are or will be customers are handling this whole situation very badly (Optus excepted). I sent my own complaint to Vodafone. I tried to be nice and honest about it, just thought they should know that they're probably losing a potential customer. At this point in time I'd probably pay more to go with Optus because they handled it better. Tesltra aren't even an option for me, never were, I try to avoid overly evil companies. Copy of email up here if you're interested: Comments to Vodafone on Lack of iPhone Information [...] ]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read through the 150 odd pages of the iPhone user guide looking for tips and shortcuts and for information on usage that I haven't discovered yet. The following is a collection of the things I found useful or interesting, some may be well known already but they're mainly here for my reference. However they may be useful to others as well; Particularly those who've just picked up an iPhone for the first time following the worldwide release of the iPhone 3G.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The quotes are mostly copied verbatim from the <a href="http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf">iPhone User Guide</a> (PDF), Copyright Apple Inc. As noted at the end of this post the iPhone User Guide is also available for viewing directly on the iPhone at <a href="http://help.apple.com/iphone">http://help.apple.com/iphone</a>.</p>

<h3>General Usage</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>[When scrolling] you can wait for the scrolling to come to a stop, or tap or touch anywhere on the screen to stop it immediately. Tapping or touching to stop scrolling won’t choose or activate anything on the screen. To quickly scroll to the top of a list, webpage, or email, just tap the status bar.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The point about tapping status bar is useful. It also mentions that in Safari tapping the status bar will reveal the address bar allowing you to search or enter a URL.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Handy tips for more efficient typing:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><dl><dt>Quickly type a period and space</dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Double-tap the space bar.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
<dt>Turn caps lock on</dt><dd>Enable caps lock (see “Keyboard†on page 108), then double-tap the Shift key. The Shift key turns blue, and all letters you type are uppercase. Tap the Shift key again to turn caps lock off.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
<dt>Type letters or symbols that aren’t on the keyboard</dt><dd>Press and hold the related letter or symbol, then slide to choose a variation.</dd></dl></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>See a link’s destination address:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>[In Mail, Safari] touch and hold the link. The address pops up next to your finger. You can touch and hold an image to see if it has a link.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Save a photo attachment to your Camera Roll album:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Press and hold the image, then tap “Save Image.â€</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Applies to images in Safari too.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Deleting messages in Mail or SMS:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>You can also delete a message directly from the mailbox message list by swiping left or right over the message title, then tapping Delete.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Phone</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Jump to favorites from anywhere:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Double-click the Home button.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Requires setting to be enabled under Settings > General > Home Button.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Bring up the last number you dialed:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Tap Keypad, then tap Call. Tap Call again to dial the number.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Block calls and maintain Wi-Fi access to the Internet:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>In Settings, turn on Airplane Mode, then tap Wi-Fi and turn it on.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Set iPhone to add the correct prefix when dialing from another country:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>In Settings, tap Phone, then turn International Assist on. This lets you make calls to your home country using the numbers in your contacts and favorites, without having to add a prefix or your country code.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Safari</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Scroll within a frame on a webpage:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Use two fingers to scroll within a frame on a webpage. Use one finger to scroll the entire webpage.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Submit a form:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Once you finish filling out a form, tap Go or Search. Most pages also have a link you can tap to submit the form.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Close the keyboard without submitting the form: Tap Done.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>iPod</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Convert a video to work with iPhone in iTunes:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone.†Then add the converted video to iPhone.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Return to the iPod browse lists:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Tap ↠Or swipe to the right over the album cover.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>You can display playback controls at any time when you’re listening to music and using another application—or even when iPhone is locked—by double-clicking the Home button.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Requires iPod Controls to be enabled in Settings > General > Home Button</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Unlike music you can delete videos on iPhone:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Set a sleep timer:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>From the Home screen choose Clock > Timer, then flick to set the number of hours and minutes. Tap When Timer Ends and choose Sleep iPod, tap Set, then tap Start to start the timer.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Photos</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Add a photo to your Photo Library:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Press and hold the photo, then tap Save Image.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Maps</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>To conserve battery life, turn Locations Services off when you’re not using it. In Settings, choose General > Location Services.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Just speculation but this might help when location services go AWOL</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Zooming out:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Pinch the map. Or tap the map with two fingers. Tap with two fingers again to zoom out further.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>See a list of the businesses found in the search: From the Map screen, tap List.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>I wasn't sure what the List option was for. It seems kind of out of place next to Map, Satellite and Hybrid.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Settings</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Setting the double click function of the home button:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Choose General > Home Button to set preferences for double-clicking the Home button. You can set iPhone so that double-clicking the Home button goes to either to the Home screen, Phone Favorites, or the iPod screen.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Reset the keyboard dictionary:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary. You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPhone suggests as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word to the keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all words you’ve added.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Reset the location warnings:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings. Locations warnings are the requests made by applications (such as Camera and Maps) to use Location Services with those applications. iPhone stops presenting the warning for an application the second time you tap OK. Tap Reset Location Warnings to resume the warnings.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Its a pity this and the one above it are all or nothing.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Set iPhone to add the correct prefix when dialing from another country:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>In Settings, tap Phone, then turn International Assist on. This lets you make calls to your home country using the numbers in your contacts and favorites, without having to add a prefix or your country code (not available in all areas).</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Store</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Checking for updates to App Store apps is all automatic:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Whenever you access the App Store, it checks for updates to applications you’ve installed. By default, the App Store also automatically checks for updates every week. The App Store icon shows the total number of application updates available. If an update is available and you access the App Store, the Updates screen appears immediately.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Ensure all iTunes and App Store items on the phone are listed in iTunes:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>You can use iTunes to verify that all the music, videos, applications, and other items you bought from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or App Store are in your iTunes library. You might want to do this if a download was interrupted. Verify your purchases:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>In iTunes, choose Store > Check for Purchases.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Enter your iTunes Store account ID and password, then click Check.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Purchases not yet on your computer are downloaded.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<em>Update:</em> This did not entirely solve the problem I had where not all apps on the phone were appearing in iTunes. However The Apple Blog seemed to have solved it with their "<a href="http://theappleblog.com/2008/07/22/transfer-applications-from-iphone-to-itunes/">Transfer Applications from iPhone to iTunes</a>" post.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Restart iPhone:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Reset iPhone:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>It isn't made clear what the difference between restart and reset is.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><h4>iPhone Doesn’t Respond</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>iPhone may be low on power. Connect iPhone to your computer or to its power adapter to charge. See “Charging the Battery†on page 33.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Press and hold the Home button below the screen for at least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>If that doesn’t work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. [See Restart iPhone above]</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>If that doesn’t work, reset iPhone. [See Reset iPhone above]</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Mainly included this quote for this point on force quitting apps.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><h4>iPhone Is Too Warm</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If the interior temperature of iPhone 3G exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>iPhone stops charging</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>display dims</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>weak cellular signal</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>temperature warning screen appears</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Important: You cannot use iPhone while the temperature warning screen is displayed except to make an emergency call. If none of the above measures succeeds in lowering the internal temperature, iPhone automatically goes into a deep sleep mode until it cools. You cannot make an emergency call when iPhone is in this mode. Move iPhone to a cooler location and wait a few minutes before trying to use iPhone again.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Interesting that this calls out the iPhone 3G specifically.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Final Notes</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>The iPhone User Guide, optimized for viewing on iPhone, is available at: <a href="http://help.apple.com/iphone">help.apple.com/iphone</a></p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>My Notes</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Pressing the number/symbol button and sliding to the appropriate key is a quick way of adding punctuation and single numerals.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Time scanning after sitting idle is a strange UI anomaly. Could be related to network time.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>There's an interesting section on Backups and managing them in iTunes that I won't repeat here, pp. 139.</p>]]></content:encoded>

I think taping the screen with three thingers brings the iPod out of zoom. Then you can switch the zoom feature off altogether in the accesability settings.
|

|

Hope that helps]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A friend asked the following today, the reply was big enough I decided to post it:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>So Wes, you've had your iPhone for a week now - what are your initial comments?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pros / Cons?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Has it changed your life? Has the battery life been crappy for you? Talk time OK?</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Its definitely the best phone I've had. Part of that is due to the tight integration with Mac OS X, which obviously very few companies were going to pull off. As a device its brilliant to use and full of functionality. I'm loving the apps and decent browser. The WiFi is really nice at home. The iPod part obviously works as well and better than any prior iPod.

The on screen keyboard is pretty much as described. You have to give it time to get the hang of it and you have to trust it. If you're typing a word that would be in the English dictionary you're best to keep on typing even if the word is way off. By the time you get to pressing space its usually selected the right word, which is selected automatically upon space. Two irritations with typing though. Its less likely to get shorter word right, particularly when there's multiple valid options. There's no way that I'm aware of to get a list of possibilities and choose the one you want. Of course being a small word means its not hard to fix and if you type it correctly in the first place then it isn't a problem at all. The other minor annoyance is when you get to the last word in a sentence that is mis-typed with a correct suggestion it appears the only way to accept it is to press space (and then delete the space) or grab a full stop.

I have missed Todo functionality. I have no idea why Apple have not got this syncing. The support is there in iSync and todos sync with my old phone (Nokia 6280) just fine. I'm hoping that its one of these things that will make it eventually. There's two reasons I miss todo, one to track things to be done, the other is for reminders for things that don't have a duration (which can be put in as calendar entries). There is no way to do reminders without a duration at the moment. Having said that the calendar functionality is comprehensive. It supports multiple calendars, full editing, meeting acceptance and basically anything you can do on the desktop.

When on silent you only get a single vibration on new message, which is easily missed. My old phone did three, which was better. Also when you get an SMS my old phone would show an envelope on the black and white standby screen. With the iPhone you have to wake it up to see if you've got a message after the display goes back off.

The AppStore is great, some of the apps are very well done. I'm really liking <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284946773&mt=8">Byline</a>, <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284967867&mt=8">Twinkle</a>, <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284919489&mt=8">Exposure</a> and <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284825922&mt=8">MoPhoTo</a>. I'm not much of a Facebook user but the <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284882215&mt=8">Facebook app</a> is very well done. It just the core parts of Facebook without all the crap. Of those five, three are free, one is free by ad-supported (with a pay for version available) and the other AU$12.99. I think that's a pretty good spread for some top quality apps. Some screenshots of these apps are scattered below.

You'd probably want to change it every day. Today I watched a video podcast on the way to work, send a couple of SMSs during the day, added a calendar event, got a call from Steve, called the dentist, listened to music, read in Google Reader via the Byline app, read and updated Twitter via the Twinkle app and used the timer to cook dinner and its showing half battery. It was off the changer all last night too.

A complaint of the old one was that the ringer and message volume was very low and easily missed. I've it plenty loud enough and its only on about three quarters. Speaking on the phone the volume is good, although I haven't tried extreme environments like a club.

One of the best built-in apps on the whole phone is maps. Whenever you want to find something, or get the details for a business, get directions, just bring up Maps and it will sort it out. Its as good as, if not better than Google Maps on the desktop. It has the same three views too: Maps, Satellite and Hybrid. The location awareness is great and there's some basic uses of it in the apps so far, hopefully more creative uses come out. One interesting one is an app called Exposure that is a flickr client with a 'near me' function. It shows photos near your current location. Doing so at home brings ups photos of St Kilda Rd, the fountain in the gardens out the front (Pictured above).

Maybe I'm easily sold on such things but the UI is truly beautiful and being solely finger driven is revolutionarily (on a phone). I'm a happy customer.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first email I sent from my iPhone was: <blockquote>Hello from my new 16Gb white iPhone. I was 5th in line. :-)</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
Unbeknownst to me at that time, my phone had helpfully attached the default signature of, "Sent from my iPhone", at the end of the email. Later that day, in a reply to what may have been my third ever email from the phone a friend said: <blockquote>> Sent from my iPhone
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
thats going to get annoying soon.. heheh :-P</blockquote>Not one to wish to annoy people and seeing where he was coming from I removed the signature.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A couple of weeks later as I was typing out a reply to a different friend on my trip to work on the tram, the desire for the signature returned. The reason being including the signature tells the recipient that the message came from a small handheld device, whilst I was on the go. This may help explain why the reply is terse and why there may be typos or particularly in the iPhones case, whole word substitutions. The phone is generally pretty good at auto-correction but if you're typing away furiously its easy for mistakes to go unnoticed. So, with a genuine desire to have a signature that wasn't about big-noting the fact I owned an iPhone, I explained the situation to my friends and asked what exactly was it that they disliked about it and how could it be made better and/or less intrusive.
|

|
|||
|
|
I got several well reasoned responses. The first suggested replying on the go wasn't really necessary, as most things can wait. So instead of pushing out a quick, terse response, take the time to write a proper reply and proof read for mistakes. Or just wait until you've got access to a desktop computer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Whilst a valid comment, the emails I am replying to are personal and I'm generally using my commute to work to read and reply to them to avoid using work time for personal email. Without doing so the reply would have to wait until my lunch break or until I get home.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The next reply was from a fellow iPhone user that had also received comments about the signature, but agreed with me that it helped explain the style of the response. He noted that he had removed it though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The final reply echoed the first in suggesting that if its worth sending its worth doing properly and then followed with what I was expecting all along, I'll quote that part in full:
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>To answer you question "why do you hate the sig", i think its mainly because of the blatant "zomg look at me i have an iPhone!!"".. There are many better options if you MUST have a sig just to say sorry to your reader.. eg Please excuse the brevity and/or any misspellings. The fact that it is the default, so it comes from everyone and is just such a blatant advertiser just gives me the shits to be totally honest :-)</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
I totally get where Hayden is coming from here. The default signature is quite blatant and in your face.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thinking it over I came up with the following solutions:
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Have a signature like Hayden suggested that is device non-specic. E.g. "Sent from my phone"</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Set my name in the account settings to "Wesley Moore (Mobile)" or something along those lines.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I went with the latter as its more subtle but still conveys what I wanted. The result looks like the following (in Gmail).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2008/08/wesley-moore-mobile.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2008/08/wesley-moore-mobile.png" alt="" title="wesley-moore-mobile" width="470" height="137" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58" /></a>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The first response after making that change was:
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>BRILLIANT!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
love your work :-)</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So there you have it, a simple change that might make some of your email recipients cringe a little less.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Something that seems to be a regression on the iPhone relative to all previous iPods is that song titles get truncated. Even in the original iPod the Now Playing screen would scroll the current song title so that you could read it all when it didn't fit on screen. Later model iPods also scrolled text that was wider than the screen when browsing menus. It seems the iPhone 3G does neither of these.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
I tried the three main views: Now Playing, List view (flip side of album art in now playing screen) and the track browsing screen. All three are pictured at the end of this post (which incidently was written using the very cool iPhone WordPress app). It seems the only way to see the full track name is to rotate the iPhone into the Coverflow view where the text fits given the added width of the screen. If anyone has any better suggestions I'd love to hear them.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I've recently upgraded from a Power Mac G5 to a Mac Pro. Since this upgrade also includes a switch of processor architecture I've been making a point of re-downloading all the apps I use, instead of just copying them from the old Mac. I'm doing this for two reasons. Firstly it ensures the apps are all up to date<sup>1</sup> and secondly I ran <a href="http://www.xslimmer.com/">Xslimmer</a> over a lot of apps on the G5, which removed the Intel binary from Universal apps.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This process has made me somewhat aware of a few apps that have seen little or no updates in quite a while. For some reason I have an expectation that applications will see periodic updates, say every six months or less. This expectation seems to stem from the fact I've paid for all these apps, which seems to bring with it some expectation of updates. Whether or not this expectation is justified or not is certainly up for debate. I clearly purchased a tool at some point and it performs its job fine, so I got what I paid for. I guess the expectation comes from not wanting to think you've bought abandon-ware and that software is one of those things that tends to continually evolve.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In some cases I think the authors of the software fuel these expectations by explicitly indicating that there will be future development or by implying there will be updates. The following are some examples of what I'm talking about:
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
<h3><a href="http://discoapp.com/">Disco</a> (Disc burning software)</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Disco had a very hyped public beta prior to its release but since then has remained almost untouched feature wise. Its seen three maintenance releases since 1.0, which mostly centred around bug fixes and minor tweaks. Yet the aplication's home page advertises the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>There are some amazing things in the works for Disco. First and foremost, as Apple adds support for Blu-ray to their computers we intend to be right there with them. As soon as possible, Disco will support these new media technologies to the fullest. We're also planning on introducing more innovative features in the vein of Discography, Spanning and the new Disc Naming.</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obviously we're still waiting for Apple to bring us Blu-ray however despite the claims of future enhancements in the last sentence there have been no significant new features since the 1.0 release over 18 months<sup>2</sup> ago. The last maintenance release was six months ago.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3><a href="http://www.appzapper.com/">AppZapper</a> (Application removal tool)</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AppZapper is a well designed minimalist app that takes care of deleting applications and their associated support files. Whilst it works ok. There's definitely room for improvement to become comparable with some of the newer apps in this area like <a href="http://www.binarynights.com/">Forklift</a>, which I also own. Forklift tends to find more files, such as log files, that AppZapper misses. The AppZapper home page proclaims "Free upgrades for life". This seems like a good selling point until you discover that the last time it saw an update of any kind was well over 18 months ago<sup>3</sup>.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3><a href="http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/">Xtorrent</a> (BitTorrent client)</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Xtorrent is written by the infomous Dave Watenabe (a fellow Melburnian I beleive). His combined search tool and torrent client saw frequent, if not <a href="http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/releasenotes.php">frantic updates</a> leading up to and beyond the 1.0 release. Followed by a feature release of version 1.1 not far off one year ago<sup>4</sup>. The kicker with this one is that when you purchase Xtorrent you can pay an extra US$15 to get Lifetime upgrades (which I did). That would be money well spent if there were frequent upgrades.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now I'm aware Dave can fly off the handle at times so in an attempt to avoid that I will mention that he does have a lot of apps on his hands for a single developer. I guess the main gripe here is Xtorrent can be a little flakey at times, particular when clicking the delete search button<sup>5</sup>, plus I'm led to believe it uses the open source <a href="http://www.transmissionbt.com/">Tranmisson</a> BitTorrent library so there could potentially be updates just to keep Xtorrent in sync with that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So there you go, maybe I'm being greedy and expecting too much or maybe there's room for improvement from these app's authors, either way lets hope the apps see some love soon.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In order to cope with having to use Windows at work I run Cygwin. My shell of choice is zsh. For whatever reason the Cygwin package of zsh installs with a serious of directories that the zsh completion system deems to be insecure and it makes sure you know this. Each time a new shell is opened (in my case through a Windows native rxvt terminal) I would receive the following warning:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>Ignore insecure directories and continue [ny]?</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pressing 'y' becomes a bit tedious after a while so I decided to track down these insecure directories and fix them.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
<tt>man zshcompsys</tt> reveals the following about the security check:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>For security reasons compinit also checks if the completion system
|
|||
|
|
would use files not owned by root or by the current user, or files in
|
|||
|
|
directories that are world- or group-writable or that are not owned by
|
|||
|
|
root or by the current user. If such files or directories are found,
|
|||
|
|
compinit will ask if the completion system should really be used. To
|
|||
|
|
avoid these tests and make all files found be used without asking, use
|
|||
|
|
the option -u, and to make compinit silently ignore all insecure files
|
|||
|
|
and directories use the option -i. This security check is skipped
|
|||
|
|
entirely when the -C option is given.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The security check can be retried at any time by running the function
|
|||
|
|
compaudit.
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Running compaudit revealed the following:
|
|||
|
|
<code>% compaudit
|
|||
|
|
There are insecure directories:
|
|||
|
|
/usr/share/zsh/site-functions
|
|||
|
|
/usr/share/zsh/4.3.4/functions
|
|||
|
|
/usr/share/zsh
|
|||
|
|
/usr/share/zsh/4.3.4</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Examining the permissions on these directories showed they were all group writable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>% ls -ld /usr/share/zsh/site-functions
|
|||
|
|
drwxrwx---+ 2 wmoore mkgroup-l-d 0 Sep 4 10:54 /usr/share/zsh/site-functions</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stripping them of the group write permission fixed the problem and made starting a new shell a little more pleasant.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>% chmod g-w /usr/share/zsh/site-functions /usr/share/zsh/4.3.4/functions /usr/share/zsh /usr/share/zsh/4.3.4
|
|||
|
|
% compaudit
|
|||
|
|
%
|
|||
|
|
</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Update:</strong> kylexlau provides this one line solution for correcting to permissions on each of the directories that compaudit returns:
|
|||
|
|
<code>compaudit | xargs chmod g-w</code>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Following Nick Kreeger's <a href="http://nkreeger.com/2008/09/macvim-ftw.html">handy post</a> on tweaking MacVim on Mac OS X I applied some of the tips to GVim under Windows to make it a little easier on the eye. The following settings are placed in your _vimrc/.vimrc file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First up is a change of font. With the introduction of Windows Vista Microsoft had a <a href="http://www.officeformac.com/blog/Brave-New-Fonts">set of new standard fonts</a> created. These also ship with the latest versions of Office. The Consolas monospaced font makes a good programmers font so I this as the font when running under Windows. I've also set the size to be relatively small.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre>if has("gui_win32")
|
|||
|
|
:set guifont=Consolas:h8,<a href="http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download">ProggyTiny</a>:h8,Luxi_Mono:h12:cANSI
|
|||
|
|
endif</pre><!--more-->Next up set the window to start tall and a little wider than normal:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>set columns=90 lines=65</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I share my vim config with Cygwin and Windows native vim. In order to get the Windows version to pick up the UNIX plugins etc in the .vim I include the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre>" Make Windows use my UNIX vimfiles
|
|||
|
|
if has("win32")
|
|||
|
|
set runtimepath=$HOME/.vim,$HOME/vimfiles,$VIM/vimfiles,$VIMRUNTIME,$VIM/vimfiles/after,$HOME/vimfiles/after
|
|||
|
|
endif</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Turn on a custom status line which includes the file name, file type, modified and read only status, line and column numbers and the percentage through the file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>set laststatus=2
|
|||
|
|
set statusline=%<%f\ %m%a%=%([%R%H%Y]%)\ %-19(%3l\ of\ %L,%c%)%P
|
|||
|
|
set showcmd</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Along the lines of what Nick did I turned line numbers on and toned the colour down a bit:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>colorscheme koehler
|
|||
|
|
hi LineNr guifg=#666666
|
|||
|
|
set number</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So what does it all like in the end? Still not as good as MacVim but not too bad (click for full size version, scaled version looks a bit average):
|
|||
|
|

|||

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After a lot of scouring the net I finally stumbled upon a theme I liked at <a href="http://themeforest.net/?ref=wezm">ThemeForest</a> (affiliate link) today. Clearly I still have to customise the header image. I also installed the <a href="http://www.bravenewcode.com/wptouch/">WPtouch</a> plugin, which presents a version of the site optimised for iPhone and iPod touch when viewed on these devices.

<strong>Update:</strong> My friend Sandra helped me out with fixing the logo. I think it looks great.]]></content:encoded>

This was a great present as my balcony was in need of some vegetation and what better than a little fruit tree. Its grown a bit since then and started to bear fruit for the first time late last year. In February Amanda and I move to a new place. The tree came with us and continued to grow more fruit.

<div style="clear: left;"></div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wezm/2991199504/" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em;" title="My New Cumquat Tree by wezm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3179/2991199504_c566e4342e_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="My New Cumquat Tree" /></a>Early in 2008 I decided to try making some liqueur with the Cumquats. Today I decided there was finally enough fruit to make the liqueur. I bought a couple of 1.5L preseving jars from <a href="http://chefshat.com.au/">Chefs Hat</a>, a bottle of brandy and some sugar. The recipe I used called for 700g Cumquats, 700mL of brandy and 700g of sugar.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I sterilised the jars by giving them a wash then putting then in the oven for 10 mins at 150ºC. I boiled the rubber seals for 10 mins as well. After letting the jars cool down I divided the ingredients evenly between the jars. The cumquats were added first, each one washed thoroughly and pricked with a fork several times. These were followed by the sugar and then the brandy. I'm not sure if all the sugar is supposed to dissolve. The recipe didn't say anything about it so I just left it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<div style="clear: both;"></div>Now the waiting begins. The jars will be sitting in a cupboard for the next six months, with a bit of a swish around once a month. Hopefully come May next year the liqueur will be ready for straining and sampling.

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Hi Wesley I have just finished a we drop with a similar recipe over the last five months. The only difference is i have used a cinnamon stick which just goes in at the end of the recipe. Just adds a bit more flavour. It tastes devine. Lovely on Ice with some lemoade also or just on Ice. Also keep it in the dark as much as poss. Patrick (Australia)]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Added a couple of WordPress plugins tonight to make the text on this blog a little prettier and hopefully more readable. First up is <a href="http://kingdesk.com/projects/wp-hyphenate/">wp-hyphenate</a> by <a href="http://kingdesk.com/">KINGdesk</a> to apply hyphenation rules. Second is <a href="http://blog.hamstu.com/2007/05/31/web-typography-just-got-better/">wp-typogrify</a>, which applies <a href="http://michelf.com/projects/php-smartypants/">PHP SmartyPants</a> (originally by <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/">John Gruber</a>) to make "curly quotes" and proper dashes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Update:</strong> I disabled wp-hyphenate as it was doing strange things to my html. In one case it was changing

<content:encoded><![CDATA[My trusty Power Mac G5 that was replaced by a Mac Pro earlier this year is now on eBay. If you're in Australia and you or someone you know is looking for a cheap, capable, expandable workstation send them to the auction.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<object width="355" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://togo.ebay.com/togo/togo.swf?2008013100" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="base=http://togo.ebay.com/togo/&lang=en-us&mode=normal&itemid=220315001694&query=qr%20code" /><embed src="http://togo.ebay.com/togo/togo.swf?2008013100" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="355" height="300" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="base=http://togo.ebay.com/togo/&lang=en-us&mode=normal&itemid=220315001694&query=qr%20code"></embed></object>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
P.S. It pains me to have Flash on my site but its the easiest way to embed the auction. There's no AU version of the "<a href="http://togo.ebay.com/">eBay To Go</a>" feature I used either, which is why its in US dollars.]]></content:encoded>

At the beginning of the month I started clean shaven and for the remainder of the month I'm growing and maintaining a moustache in order to raise awareness of men's health issues. In particular depression and prostate cancer. This photo to the left shows my progress after the first two weeks (yeah its hard to see, the colour blends in :-) ).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<div style="clear: left;">Some facts:</div>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Depression affects 1 in 6 men. Most don't seek help and untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Having seen the effect of depression first hand this year its certainly not something I would wish to see go untreated.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Last year 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in Australia and more than 2,900 died from it. This is equivalent to the number of women that die of breast cancer annually.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As part of participating in Movember I am seeking donations that will be passed on to the <a href="http://www.prostate.org.au/">Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia</a> and <a href="http://www.beyondblue.org.au/">beyondblue</a> - the national depression initiative. The Movember Foundation is a registered charity, so all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Its been quite some time since my original post soliciting ideas for a Mac OS X application to develop. Since then I decided to heed the advice I've read in several places and to just implement something simple that <em>I</em> want. That ended up being an audio file splitter. The app is currently nicknamed Chopper, which aside from the obvious cutting meaning also has a bit of meaning in Australian culture as a reference to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_Read">Mark "Chopper" Read</a>.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In July I also changed jobs. As part of accepting the new role I asked to work a four day week, with the intention of dedicating the fifth day to Mac development. A day a week turned out to be too much but they did accept a day a fortnight, written into my contract, so I always get it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With that day a fortnight I've done such things as:
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Come up with an overview of requirements</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Sketch out several possible UI designs</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.wezm.net/2008/04/16/mp3-decoder-libraries-compared/">Benchmark MP3 decoders</a></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Learn and use the new features in Obj-C 2.0</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Learn OCUint and add unit tests to the project</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Implement an MPEG header parser</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Implement MPEG file splitting</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Implement a CUE sheet parser</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Implement splitting on CUE sheet track boundaries</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Hook up a basic UI that uses bindings</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The todo list is still quite large. I will continue plugging away and one day it will be ready. In the meantime I'm aiming to post more frequent updates on this site and maybe cover some of the things that I've learnt such as unit testing Cocoa classes.]]></content:encoded>

As <a href="http://popcorn.cx/blog/2008/07/jumping-on-the-bandwagon-in-7-14-days/#comment-52510">I mentioned on Stephen's blog</a> back in July I was looking for a pouch style case. I wanted something a thin as possible but not something that was permanently on the phone. I don't see the point of buying some thing with excellent design then wrapping it in some ugly case. I've been dropping into phone shops now and then to see what cases they've got but hadn't found anything compelling until this week. I saw that TeleChoice seemed to have what I was looking for, it also happened to be a Mossimo case. There is one problem that I didn't notice in the shop though.

The case itself is almost exactly what I'm after: it's a vertical slip-in genuine leather pouch with a soft liner. There's one glaring fault though, which is the inclusion of a metal eyelet. The eyelet will of course get pressed against the phone and damage it over time, especially when in a moving jeans pocket or similar. I haven't yet decided what to do about. Options include removing it, putting tape or something over it or putting a little piece of tape on the phone.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Before Christmas I was speaking with two colleagues and recent iPhone adopters about headphones. They were examining my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-EX71SLA-Fontopia-Bud-Style-Headphones/dp/B000JKHXPQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1231211983&sr=1-3">Sony MDR-EX71s</a> (white, short cable) connected to <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/smarttalk">Griffin SmartTalk</a>. I mentioned the SmartTalk gives third-party headphones a button and microphone. I was asked if you could answer calls with the button to which I said, "yes, it does all the same things as the included headphones". To which the reply was, "the included ones have a button?". Yep they certainly do.

|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>The headset included with iPhone features a microphone and an integrated button that allows you to answer and end calls easily, and control audio and video playback.
|
|||
|
|
Plug in the headset to listen to music or a phone call. Callers hear you through the headset microphone. Click the mic button to control music playback and answer or end calls, even when iPhone is locked.</blockquote>

Sensation started in The Netherlands, being held at Amsterdam Arena. When I first stumbled across videos and music from the Amsterdam events several years back I was in awe of a dance party that managed to pull 40,000 people. Well based on what I saw at Tel$tra Dome I think they managed to pull off the same thing here. Seeing the stadium packed with so many people all dressed in white was truly awesome. The music did not disappoint either. However I think I had built up an expectation of more of a "performance" aspect to the event, as this didn't seem to quite meet my expectations. Nonetheless a great night was had by all. Also special thanks to Hayden for using a number of his comped Deluxe tickets to get us in for free and skip the queue. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wezm/sets/72157611937922733/">Photos and movies from the night</a> are on Flickr.

Leading up to Sensation the media had a field day in regard to a select minority that took a bad batch of GHB at the X-Qlusive event and ended up in hospital. Now taking GHB in the first place is stupid but the way it was reported was just reckless and inaccurate. Not only did they harp on about this minority but the Herald-Sun managed to attribute the overdoses to totally the wrong event: Christmas Kandy, which was cancelled as a result. In the days leading up to Sensation I heard a news report on TV refer to Sensation as, "controversial" and you could tell they were just waiting for a repeat of what happened at X-Qlusive. Funnily enough it seemed that everyone at Sensation was very well behaved as I didn't hear or see a single report in the following days about any drug related problems (no news is good news?). I think its a great win for the people and the rave scene that the media didn't get what they wanted. Especially considering it probably the biggest "rave" type event to ever be held in Melbourne.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I began migrating from my current VPS at <a href="http://www.vpsfarm.com/">vpsFarm</a> to a new one at <a href="http://www.crucial.com.au/">Crucial Paradigm</a>. The primary driver behind this is financial. Firstly I wanted to reduce the cost of running a VPS and secondly I wanted a VPS billed in Australian dollars so I wasn't exposed to wildly varying value of the Australian dollar. Due to the recent slump in the exchange rate the vpsFarm server started costing $10 or so more a month.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
With my fresh Debian 4 VPS up and running I now wanted to install all the various packages that I had on the vpsFarm server. However I'm aware that when using <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Aptitude">aptitude</a> to install packages it tracks which ones were included automatically as dependencies and can then clean them up if they are later on no longer needed by anything. As a result of this I didn't want to just install every package listed by <code>`dpkg -l`</code> on the old server. The solution I came up with was as follows. Its not particularly elegant but got the job done:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre># On old server
|
|||
|
|
aptitude search '~i' | grep -v 'i A' > ~/installed.txt
|
|||
|
|
# scp installed.txt to new server
|
|||
|
|
# Then on new server
|
|||
|
|
aptitude search '~i' | grep -v 'i A' > ~/installed2.txt
|
|||
|
|
# Then determine which ones the new server doesn't have already
|
|||
|
|
diff installed*.txt | awk '{ print $3 }'|sort |uniq</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I joined the resulting list into a single line (Text > Unwrap Selection in TextMate or :%j in vim), removed a few that I didn't want then did <code>sudo aptitude install </code> and pasted the list of packages from TextMate. The <code>aptitude search '~i'</code> lists installed packages, the <code>grep</code> removes ones that were automatically installed and the <code>diff</code> finds ones that the new server doesn't already have.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This weekend Amanda and I embarked upon our first attempt at once a month cooking. The theory goes that you spend a weekend buying and cooking in bulk and then don't need to do it again for another month. Given we both aren't keen on cooking when we get home from work this allows the meal preparation to be simple and quick, without resorting to frozen pizzas or trips to KFC. It also has the potential to be cheaper since you can buy in bulk.

<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/_mg_6380.jpg' style="float: left; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/_mg_6380-123x300.jpg" alt="Freezer full of food" width="123" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-87" /></a>We selected a number of pasta dishes including typical sauces such as Bolognese but also did a lasagne and spinach and ricotta cannelloni. To add some variety we also included some double batches of massaman and Thai green curries. For snacks we baked some choc-chip cookies and choc-caramel muffins. Most of these weren't from scratch. Packet mixes, pre-made curry pastes and bottled pasta sauces were used to keep things simple also also allow the meals to be done quickly allowing us make more in a day.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is pretty tiring standing at the bench for hours on end so we came up with a system of one hour shifts. One of us would cook whilst the other did lighter tasks around the house, which worked well. It also avoided the problem of, "too many cooks in the kitchen...".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The end result is a very fulll freezer as the photo on the left shows. All that should keep as in dinners and lunches for a couple of weeks. We don't have the freezer space to do a full month's worth although we have the ingredients to do the second fortnight of meals without another shopping trip.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 was released on Valentines day 2009, "after 22 months of constant development", according to <a href="http://debian.org/News/2009/20090214">the announcement</a>. 22 months is still a long time between releases but its certainly an improvement over the nearly three years between 3.0 and 3.1 (sarge) and consistent with the 21 months between 3.1 and 4.0.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As always the upgrade procedure is straightforward and worked seamlessly for me. I followed the <a href="http://www.go2linux.org/upgrading-debian">instructions on go2linux</a>.]]></content:encoded>

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The result of that work went live on Thursday and after an initial hiccup with a questionably named user posting off topic content its going well so far. One of the first posts on the site is one asking for feedback on <a href="http://lesswrong.com/lw/5/issues_bugs_and_requested_features/">Issues, Bugs, and Requested Features</a>. The thread has been inundated with all three of these so it looks like I still have plenty of work ahead refining the user experience.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As well as being the first site I've worked on from start to finish (aside from personal ones) Less Wrong is also my first Python project and significant open source project. Its been great learning another programming language and putting that knowledge into practice. You can <a href="http://github.com/tricycle/lesswrong/">check it out the code on GitHub</a> (pun not intended). Also if you end up looking at or using the code or Less Wrong itself and encounter any issues there is an <a href="http://code.google.com/p/lesswrong/issues/list">issue tracker on Google Code</a> where they can be logged.]]></content:encoded>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[I must say that I'm surprised that there are 238 comments in the linked post on Less Wrong but none on your personal post for making the site public.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My intuition to suspect that others on lesswrong would answer the questions of "Who maintains and modifies this site?" and "How best may I contact them with suggestions for changes?" would lead them to click on the "About" page, follow through to GitHub, find the maintaining user, go to their URL, and comment on a relevant post at a frequency greater than 1% seems to be mistaken.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I've dissected this by finding the other paths to relevant places to make suggestions (google code or the mentioned lesswrong post) and think this may be the result of most of the people who have seen lesswrong so far having been exposed to the post requesting bug reports through the front page before having to ask themselves the above questions. I'm posting this here sort of as an experiment, so I hope that anyone else who makes it here also posts the logical steps they followed in getting to your post and reading this comment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Normally my intuitive estimation of utility for going to the effort of thinking over my surprise at apparent miscalculation of a non-issue wouldn't lead me to go to the lengths of writing this out, but I'm considering this a novel application of testing my rationality (http://lesswrong.com/lw/h/test_your_rationality/). If I didn't state the following, I would also have the ulterior motive of hoping to establish a dialogue with the developer by commenting on his blog as opposed to following through to the links he provided on the blog post and posting my suggestion there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If my intuitive calculation was accurate, the number of comments with suggestions here should eventually break a 1:100 ratio against comments on the lesswrong issues post (though more accurately I should be comparing the number of commenters with suggestions here to the number of commenters with suggestions there).

To be pragmatic, I need to consider all the apparent variables affecting decision pathways for persons looking to suggest changes to the lesswrong code-base. The first variable I can note is that the link to the about page on lesswrong is above the fold on every page (http://www.viget.com/inspire/evolving-design-standards-the-fold/), whereas the link to the issues post is at the bottom of every page. Finding and clicking one link over the other when attempting to answer my query could also be affected by an experiential heuristic for suspecting that an "about" page is most often the best place to find technical information about a site.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For more clues, I traced my path and found that I followed the first visible relevant reference to my query of "Contact who for change suggestion?" going from the home page of lesswrong. The path I followed seems to have included more steps than any of the other possible solutions though. To explain this, I analyze why I might have clicked on the GitHub link on the about page before reading the rest of the paragraph that contained it and finding the Google Code issue tracker link. I suspect that I'm prone to quickly following links when I expect they'll provide more relevant information than what I'm currently reading, and perhaps much more so than average. I knew that GitHub would allow me to access detailed information about the code-base maintainer(s), but I can't accurately estimate the proportion of people on lesswrong who would share that knowledge. Out of the total set of lesswrong readers, I do expect that there's a strong correlation between knowledge of GitHub functionality and coming to query lesswrong for information about how to affect change to its code-base though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now assuming anyone else with my query got to this post before becoming satisfied with finding the Google Code issue tracker or the Issues post on lesswrong, what might possess them to post the suggestion here instead of following the links on this post? I hold as knowledge from experience and from accounts of acquaintances that the most personal relevant means of contacting a person available is generally the most effective at illiciting a response, but I can't estimate with any confidence the commonality of that knowledge within the lesswrong reader base or by extension the motivation to act on that knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Having torn the problem to pieces and finding various points along decision pathways that could lead to the action I've taken where I have a high-degree of uncertainty (not to mention the possibility that I'm an outlier experiencing an observation selection effect), I have to update my initial probability estimate to be a wide confidence interval. I may update this with explicit calculations, but for now I'll say that given the above analysis I feel 90% confident that the proportion of lesswrong readers who will query how to affect its codebase and decide to post here as opposed to in another relevant place is greater than .1% but less than 1%, ceteris paribus. By posting this, I'm likely positively affecting that ratio, and other confounding events such as someone taking note of this comment and making the lesswrong community at large (or at least a portion of the community that is not querying how to contact the site's maintainer) aware of it could also affect this, so I guess I'll have to see.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now to my suggestion: I have been mildly frustrated with the lack of comment threading on OB and today had an idea that would allow logical connections to previous posts without forcing the user community to change their posting style. I've observed that most users when replying to another's post will say "@user:" (probably largely adopted from Twitter) this convention could be parsed client-side to create a popup including that user's previous comments on the post when you hover over "@user" This would allow replying to multiple comments, as is often done, without having to create threads or reply to multiple threads. In looking at the comments on LessWrong so far, I've not seen any use of "@user" but wonder if the introduction of threading was the best solution. Aesthetically, I like the nested boxes, but wonder whether OB's lack of logical comment flow and reported difficulties with logical flow of threading in lesswrong (http://code.google.com/p/lesswrong/issues/detail?id=115) could be solved with a common solution as I've proposed. To avoid being a theoretical bikeshed painter (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000922.html), I'd be willing to try writing this feature up as a greasemonkey script with sufficient interest (though embedded javascript seems like the best solution were this to be implemented).

P.S. Wesley, hi! Feel like making a bet against my estimate?]]></wp:comment_content>

I'm finding that making changes like adding new fields to the Submit Link page and modifying the code to be quite difficult because there are many parts and no real documentation. Can you share some insight on what hurdles you overcame when making lesswrong? How have you been working with the code?]]></wp:comment_content>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Jeff, to get my head around the code I suppose I just started making the changes I needed to and learnt along the way. It is difficult at times to work out how it fits together but it does make sense after a while. Initially I was pairing with another developer so we would basically try to work out how it worked together, each helping one another.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[With the introduction of Windows Vista and Office 2007 Microsoft included some new fonts, which became the defaults in Office. Their names all start with 'C' and they are quite attractive. In particular there is a monospaced font called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolas">Consolas</a> that is nice to use as a text editor font and Terminal font. The problem is they aren't technically free, although Microsoft does include them in a number of freely available updaters. What follows is how I went about installing the fonts on my Mac.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Download the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac from the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx">Microsoft Mactopia download page</a>.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Double click the disk image if it wasn't automatically mounted. You will see an Open XML File Format Converter meta package (.mpkg). This is an installer package comprised of several sub-installer packages. One of which is the fonts I was after.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Run the Open XML Fonts Installer package. Running the following in the Terminal will achieve this in a typical Mac OS X install:
|
|||
|
|
<code>open "/Volumes/Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2/Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2.mpkg/Contents/Packages/OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg"</code></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Follow the prompts and you're done. You can now configure you text editor and Terminal to use Consolas.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> I deemed that the <code>OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg</code> was safe to install without fear that it will install any other rubbish using the <code>lsbom</code> command as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre style="overflow: scroll">$ lsbom -s /Volumes/Open\ XML\ File\ Format\ Converter\ for\ Mac\ 1.0.2/Open\ XML\ File\ Format\ Converter\ for\ Mac\ 1.0.2.mpkg/Contents/Packages/OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Thanks for this, here is how to install them under Linux ;)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) Get dmg2img (in a teminal session):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
curl -L 'http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2img-1.6.1.tar.gz' | tar xz
|
|||
|
|
cd dmg2img*
|
|||
|
|
make
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(If the above make command fails, you are probably missing some headers in a package named openssl-devel or similar. You could also be missing a C compiler, but if you can't work out how to fix that are you sure you need a programmers font? ;))
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) Download the DMG. Save it in your home directory.
|
|||
|
|
3) Back in the directory dmg2img was in (the terminal session):
|
|||
|
|
./dmg2img ~/OpenXMLConverter102.img
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) As root (or with sudo before the command) and replacing XXX with your username:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
mount -t hfsplus -o loop ~XXX/OpenXMLConverter102.img /mnt
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(You can also copy/paste the commands suggested by dmg2img instead)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) Make a directory for fonts and change to it, then extract fonts (back as normal user):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
mkdir consolas
|
|||
|
|
cd consolas
|
|||
|
|
zcat /mnt/Open\ XML\ File\ Format\ Converter\ for\ Mac\ 1.0.2.mpkg/Contents/Packages/OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz | cpio -i
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6) (As root) Unmount image:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
umount /mnt
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7) Install the fonts (I will leave that to your DE and if you don't have a DE you already know how to xset fp rehash, etc)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8) Enjoy :)]]></wp:comment_content>

After changing from Tiger to Leopard, I had to re-install my original version of Office 2008. It didn't automatically install some fonts like the Consolas, Calibri & Cambria, but your tip worked. I'll spread the word!

I used the way Billy Bob told, because it's a lot easier if you are not familiar with using Terminal.]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Microsoft provide a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client for the Mac. This is a good thing. However it is packaged as an Installer meta package, which to me seemed unnecessary, so I went digging. Viewing the Packages folder within the meta package shows that Microsoft have thoughtfully included an Office updater, error reporter and help viewer as well as the RDC client itself:
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Office2008_en_autoupdate.pkg</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Office2008_en_errorreporting.pkg</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Office2008_en_helpviewer.pkg</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Remote Desktop Connection 2.pkg</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Remote Desktop Connection.pkg</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> From what I can tell the second RDC package (the one with 2 on the end) exists to provide internationalisation, something I don't need. If you aren't an English speaker (yes I'm aware of the irony of this post being written in English) then you may not want to follow these directions.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
Further examination with the ever trusty <code><a href="http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/DARWIN/Reference/ManPages/man8/lsbom.8.html">lsbom</a></code> command shows that <code>Remote Desktop Connection.pkg</code> contains solely the RDC client app. This means that Microsoft could <em>potentially</em> distribute the app simply zipped or if desired on a disk image without the Installer package. Anyway, what this means is that you can extract the <code>Archive.pax.gz</code> file in the package and happily skip the Installer. On a typical Mac OS X (10.5) installation (I.e. mine) with the Remote Desktop Connection disk image mounted this can be achieved by running the following terminal command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<code>open /Volumes/Remote\ Desktop\ Connection/Remote\ Desktop\ Connection.mpkg/Contents/Packages/Remote\ Desktop\ Connection.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This should open a Finder window with your shiny new Remote Desktop Connection.app in it. You can then move it to you Applications folder if desired.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Getting Started</h3>
|
|||
|
|
With the move to Essendon and new job in January I decided I'd try my hand (or feet) at riding to work. There's a coupe of obvious benefits. Firstly its good exercise and secondly each time I ride to and from work I save about $6 in train fares. After settling into my new job for a week and loaning my brother's now mostly unused mountain bike<sup>1</sup> I set off one Sunday night on a trial run. I did some research <a href="http://www.bigyak.net.au/gmaps/vicbiketrailsgmap.html">online</a> and via the Melways with my Dad to determine the route. The trial to and from work straight after each other went well so I did it for real the next day.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
Laden with a backpack containing a laptop, lunch and a change of clothes amongst other things I set out into the peak hour traffic. The traffic turned out to be quite off-putting and I wasted a bit of time trying to negotiate it. Once I'd finally crossed <a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Buckley+St+and+Mt+Alexander+Rd+Essendon&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=43.569223,54.931641&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr">Mt. Alexander Rd</a> I was able to head for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonee_Ponds_Creek_Trail">Moonee Ponds Creek Trail</a> with relative ease. Running late I pushed myself a bit and a short distance down the trail started thinking this whole riding thing was not a great idea at all and that I'd be lucky to arrive at work at all that morning. With the rushing and heavy bag it all seemed a lot harder than the trial the night before. It probably didn't help that this was only my second bike ride of distance greater than about 200m in around 10 years.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Tracking My Rides</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I did make it to work though, albeit somewhat hot and sweaty. The trip took about 40mins. Since that first day I've done the ride another 10 or so times, refined the route and have begun working on shortening the travel time. First I got it down to 30 mins and my best so far is 28 mins something. I track each ride using a brilliant little (free) iPhone app called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=289333140&mt=8">Trailguru</a> (app store link). It records my ride logging the route with GPS, the duration and distance. When I arrive at my destination I stop it recording and can then upload the ride to the <a href="http://www.trailguru.com/">companion site</a>. Each trail gets a page where there is plot of the route on Google Maps, graphs of altitude, pace and speed as well as other stats.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Below is a sample ride to work that Trailguru recorded:
|
|||
|
|
<iframe src="http://www.trailguru.com/ui/embed/embedTrack.php?thid=205513" height="475px" width="100%" frameborder="0">
|
|||
|
|
<a href="http://www.trailguru.com/wiki/index.php/Track:4EKP">8 to (Road Biking) | Flemington VIC 3031, Australia</a>
|
|||
|
|
</iframe>Trailguru also lets you search for trails and will show others near your own. You can also take and upload photos with the iPhone app. I haven't used that feature yet as my phone is in my bag during the ride but I'd like to get an iPhone bike mount so I can use it as a speedometer as well. You can see all my trails on my <a href="http://www.trailguru.com/ui/user/tracks/Wmoore">Trailguru user page</a>.

<h3>Road Rage</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Being a cyclist isn't all fun and games though. There are of course cars to deal with. My ride shares a limited amount of time on roads and much of that has bike lanes, which is a plus. The stretches that are without a bike lane are always a little worrying though. I do my best to be a courteous road user but I'm well aware as a driver how annoying it is being stuck behind a bike, whether or not they have the right to be there. As well as keeping out of way of cars I'm also trying to be vigilant when riding beside parked cars. I can just see a door flying open right in front of me one day and causing me all sorts of grief.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have mostly avoided any incidents with cars so far but I did have a small bout of road rage the other morning... and it was me with the rage. It totally surprised me actually. I was waiting in the far left lane to cross Mt. Alexander Rd. As far as I know this is where I'm supposed to wait but it also happens to be a left turn lane with an arrow. As I was waiting a car came up behind and tooted me. My instant, totally instinctive reaction was to fly off the handle much to the surprise of some pedestrians. I did this as I moved onto the footpath to get out of the way. Not sure where the anger came from as it even shocked me.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

I'm trying to do three rides a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That gives me a break in between while I'm getting used to it and should also still be <a href="http://notahat.com/posts/30">beneficial fitness wise</a>. However I've only managed that once so far due to after work engagements and bad weather. Time will tell how it goes but I'm enjoying it so far.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I read a post by <a href="http://www.useit.com/jakob/">Jakob Nielsen</a> today titled, <a href="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/weblogs.html">Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes</a>. It was written back in 2005 but is still very relevant to today. The eighth point, "Mixing Topics", which states, "If you publish on many different topics, you're less likely to attract a loyal audience of high-value users" seemed particularly relevant given the diversity of topics in my recent posts. As a result I've decided to stop posting geeky content on this site and instead post that to my somewhat neglegted software site, <a href="http://www.binarytrance.com/">Binary Trance</a> (which needs a redesign). So if there if there is anyone out there that wants drop the personal stuff or keep getting the geeky stuff I suggest you check it out. If you're just after the feed I can save you the trip: <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BinaryTranceBlog">Feed for Binary Trance Blog</a>.

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You thought of having separate pages for certain categories? So keeping anything that's Geeky in certain categories, then creating a page off this blog just for posts in that category? Might be easier than maintaining 2 blogs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was looking into doing something similar on my page :

|
|||
|
|
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-category-excluder/
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just a thought

<content:encoded><![CDATA[As <a href="http://www.wezm.net/2009/03/06/moving-geeky-posts-to-binary-trance/">mentioned on my now personal blog</a> I've decided to post all future technical posts on this blog to separate the general posts from the geeky ones.

I thought I'd try it out so I sent them an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reply_coupon">International Reply Coupon</a> (IRC) (something I'd never heard of before) and what do you know they showed up today. They managed to come all the way from San Francisco in an unsealed envelope too. Now to decide what to stick them to... and who to give the unicorn one to.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Virtualisation software has been around for a long time. This software allows you to host one or more guest operating systems on top of the one you're already running at near full speed. For example you could run Linux as a guest on Windows or OpenSolaris as a guest on Mac OS X. Some of the reasons you might wish to do this are:
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Testing: Check a web application in browsers only available for particular operating systems.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Development: Create software for a different target operating system. E.g. You might be developing software for a Linux based device but use Windows on your desktop.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Security: You can run software in a restricted environment, separate from the host and have the ability to roll back to snapshots taken at a known-good point in time.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Convenience: Whilst it might be possible to install multiple operating systems on one host you must reboot to use each one. You can use multiple operating systems simultaneously with virtualisation.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Utilisation: You can take one server and turn it into several. You could run a Solaris database server, Linux webserver and Microsoft Exchange server all from the one (well specced) host.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul><!--more-->There's quite a few different virtualisation software options out there but a relative newcomer is Sun Microsystems' <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a>. Originally developed by innotek it was acquired by Sun in February 2008. As well as being very capable in its own right VirtualBox is also free and open source.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VirtualBox runs on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. It can host Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris, OS/2 and probably many more guest OS's. It features a seamless windows feature for Linux and Windows guests to integrate the guest windows into the host, is extensively controllable and configurable from the command line and has a built in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol"><abbr title="Remote Desktop Protocol ">RDP</abbr></a> server so you can access the GUI of a guest remotely amongst many other features. It also includes "additions" that you install in the guest to get better integration with the host. Currently there are additions for Linux, Windows, Solaris and OS/2.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-8.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-8-300x254.png" alt="The VirtualBox Graphical User Interface" title="VirtualBox GUI" width="300" height="254" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8" /></a><a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-9.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-9-300x196.png" alt="VirtualBox running a Debian GNU/Linux guest on Mac OS X" title="VirtualBox Debian Guest" width="300" height="196" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9" /></a><p style="clear: both;">One particularly nifty feature if you're on a Windows PC without Administrator privileges is VirtualBox will install and run as an unprivileged user. This means if you're forced to use Windows at work you might be able to install Linux via VirtualBox and become a bit more productive.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In some future posts I plan to cover some ways you can put VirtualBox to use. The first of these will cover setting up a Linux guest to mirror the deployment environment of a web application.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you're a Melbourne Linux user interested in getting started with VirtualBox it might be worth checking out the next Melbourne Linux Users Group meeting. They're holding a workshop on installing a guest with seamless mouse and keyboard integration. I assume the integration part means they will cover installing the VirtualBox additions on the guest. See the <a href="http://www.mlug.org.au/">MLUG website</a> for all the details.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today I followed my own <a href="ttp://www.wezm.net/2009/03/03/install-consolas-mac-osx/">directions on installing Consolas</a> on my Mac Pro. The original directions were put together when installing it on my Mac Book. The downloaded disk image had a different volume name, as did the meta package. So the the command I used to launch the font installer was: <pre>open "/Volumes/Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0/Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.mpkg/Contents/Packages/OpenXML_all_fonts.pkg"</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After the installer ran I went about making it the default font in Terminal. After doing so and setting it the same as it was on my Mac Book (13pt, antialiasing on) it looked terrible on the Mac Pro. Compare the two images below. I was after the latter.

<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-81.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-81.png" alt="" title="Automatic font smoothing" width="665" height="195" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12" /></a><a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-6.png'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/03/picture-6.png" alt="" title="Medium font smoothing" width="672" height="195" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13" /></a>After a little bit of confusion I decided to check the font smoothing style in the Appearance preference pane (in System Preferences). Turns out it was set to Automatic (best for main display) on the Mac Pro and Medium (best for Flat Panel) on the Mac Book. Changing to Medium and relaunching Terminal had it looking identical on both machines.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Git comes with bash completion support which comes in handy for completing branch names and things like that. To get this support when installing git via Mac Ports you must add the bash_completion variant. You'll also want to install the bash_completion port. After that you need to add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:<pre>if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
|
|||
|
|
. /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
|
|||
|
|
fi</pre>
|
|||
|
|
For reference I have the folloowing Git related config in my <code>.bashrc</code>:
|
|||
|
|
<script src="http://gist.github.com/87724.js"></script>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href='http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/04/greetings-from-tall-karri-country.jpg'><img src="http://www.wezm.net/wp-content/uploads/wezm.net/2009/04/greetings-from-tall-karri-country-300x196.jpg" alt="" title="greetings-from-tall-karri-country" width="300" height="196" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-98" /></a>I was sorting through some old postcards that I bought during the trip around Australia my family did in 1992. Amongst them was this particular one. Now that I'm not twelve and obsessed by tractors and earth moving equipment it seemed quite bizarre. The caption on the back reads:
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote style="clear: left;">A view of a Karri tree being lifted prior to loading on to a truck at <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Pemberton,+WA,+Australia&sll=53.540307,-2.672424&sspn=0.749982,0.906372&g=pemberton&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.888658,116.526489&spn=4.190239,3.625488&z=8&iwloc=addr">Pemberton</a> Western Australia</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
Pemberton is in the southern part of Western Australia that features the Karri forests. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karri">According to Wikipedia</a> Karri trees can grow up to 90m tall, making them amongst the tallest trees in the world. The photo seems like such a strange image to put on a post card. Can you imagine writing home to family telling them about the beautiful Karri forests on a card that depicts them being destroyed?]]></content:encoded>

Today I was pointed towards a video on the Today Tonight website (an Australian current affairs TV show) and told to save a copy. Our client had gained approval to use the video on their site and needed a copy for that purpose. It was a flash video and whilst I've never saved one before I knew there were various tools out there to do it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

My first attempt was a couple of different Firefox Add-ons. None of the three I tried would tackle this video, they save the empty player and a few ads but that was all. After some Googling I jumped on a Windows virtual machine and tried out <a href="http://www.orbitdownloader.com/">Orbit Downloader</a>. Its use was a little convoluted but it did indeed seem to identify the RTMP stream and attempt to download it. Unfortunately I think the host was blocking it and it just sat in a loop successfully connecting, then retrying.

I assume that it eavesdrops on the interface to detect and record the video stream, which is pretty cool.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After the interface was selected I was on my way. I clicked the record button, loaded the webpage and started the video playing. FLV Recorder detected the video and started capturing it. As it is capturing the network traffic it's necessary to let the video play all the way through in the browser. A few minutes later and I had my video. I was able to play it back in the built-in FLV player before uploading it to YouTube.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
During my attempts I was able to determine that video itself was in Flash video format (FLV) being transferred using <abbr title="Real Time Messaging Protocol">RTMP</abbr>, which according to Wikipedia is, "a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe Systems for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server". It seems that the Flash player itself implements RTMP, which I think is why the Firefox Add-on's weren't able to see the network activity.

<h3>Capturing an RTMP Video Stream with FLV Recorder</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If anyone else is in the same position as me I highly suggest you check out FLV Recorder. These are the steps I followed to save my video:
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Set the network interface in the FLV Recorder options to the one that you use to connect to the Internet (This is a once off setting).</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Click the record button in FLV Recorder (bottom left).</li>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<li>Browse to the page that has the video on it in your web browser.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Start the video playing that you want to record. FLV Recorder should start recording.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Let the video play all the way through and you're done!</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm not much of a user of TextMate project files, generally preferring to just <code>mate .</code> in a directory. This works great until the directory or one under it contains large, irrelevant files like log files or database dumps. Its at this point you start encounter massive slow downs in the otherwise very useful 'Find in Project...' function. The slow downs turn into crashes if the files are big enough as this results in TextMate atttempting to grab vast amounts of memory. Eventually the OS tells it to, "bugger off, 1Gb is all I can give you", or something along those lines.
|
|||
|
|
|

A <a href="http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com/2007/06/remove-find-in-project-from-textmate.html?showComment=1182394020000#c8242128871345293431">common solution</a>, particularly when working on Rails projects is to create a shell alias that just invokes mate with the directories of interest. This works ok but given I'm working on a mix of project types (Pylons, Rails, Radiant) I wanted a solution that did the reverse: Choose everything except what I want to exclude. Informed by an <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/216995/how-can-i-use-negative-wildcards-in-a-unix-linux-shell/217004#217004">answer to a question on Stack Overflow</a> I came up with this:
|
|||
|
|
<script src="http://gist.github.com/111999.js"></script>
|
|||
|
|
As the comments in the script note I have this in a file called '<code>ate</code>' in <code>~/Local/bin</code>, which is in my PATH. I can now happily go to any directory, type ate and have it ignore that list of directories.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[On a number of sites at work we employ a static file caching extension to do just that: create static files that are served until the cache is invalidated. One of things that will invalidate the cache is deploying a new release of the code. This means that many of the requests after deploying will need to be generated from scratch, often causing the full Rails stack to be started (via Passenger) each time. To get around this I came up with the following to use <code>wget</code> to spider each of the URLs listed in the <code>sitemap.xml</code>. This ensures each of the major pages has been cached so most requests will be cache hits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p style="text-align: left;"><code>wget --quiet http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml --output-document - | egrep -o "http://www\.example\.com[^<]+" | wget --spider -i - --wait 1</code></p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That should all be executed on one line. There's a one second wait in there to spread out the requests a bit but you can remove it if you like.]]></content:encoded>

I'm surprised there isn't an option to regenerate static pages somewhere as well... but hey whipping up a script to hit all the pages for you gets you bonus points :)]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For Manda's birthday this year I gave her tickets to <a href="http://www.sydneydancecompany.com/Repertoire/360_Degrees/1415">Rafael Bonachela's 360°</a>, a contemporary dance performance by the <a href="http://www.sydneydancecompany.com/">Sydney Dance Company</a>. The performance was in the <a href="http://www.theartscentre.com.au/discover/spaces-and-places/playhouse.aspx">Playhouse at the Arts Centre</a> (Melbourne). Unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now let me preface the rest of the post with the following: We're hardly connoisseurs of the fine arts. Instead we got the bulk of our prior exposure to contemporary dance through channel Ten's <a href="http://dance.ten.com.au/">So You Think You Can Dance</a>. I'm sure the purists out there would scoff at that but we wouldn't have even entertained the idea of seeing 360° were it not for the show.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With that out of the way let me continue by starting at the end. After the performance finished and we'd endured what seemed like several minutes of applause with much bowing and cutting of lights only for them to return again, Manda and I both said nothing to each other about it. We were both feeling underwhelmed and wanted to withhold our comments until out of ear shot of people that might not agree.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The performance seemed to lack any coherent story. The music choices seemed inappropriate to even tell a story and the projected backdrops seemed to have no relationship with what was going on on-stage. I was left feeling that I was not on the right level to understand it and some aspects were "arty" for arts sake. For example the sand covered skull with the sand falling in reverse to slowly reveal the skull.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ignoring the aspects I didn't like there was still things that I did like. The skill of the dancers was most impressive. The use of light and mirrors was creative and clever. So overall the experience was a disappointment. I'm hoping that we will find another contemporary performance to see in the future that will live up to our perhaps uncultured expectations.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A few days ago I decided I wanted a feed of the <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/News">VirtualBox News</a> page. I mainly wanted this to know when new releases are made. Whilst the application does update itself, sometimes I go a while without firing it up so seeing the release in <a href="http://feedafever.com/">Fever</a> would be nice.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After some brief Googling I didn't come across anything that was obviously designed to create feeds from Ruby (outside of Rails). So I opened up the <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287">Atom Feed spec</a> and built the feed manually. The end result is a Ruby script and a feed (updated daily) at: <a href="http://home.wezm.net/files/virtualbox.atom">http://home.wezm.net/files/virtualbox.atom</a>. Thanks to the brilliant <a href="http://nokogiri.rubyforge.org/nokogiri/">nokogiri</a> this was relatively straightforward.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dan Benjamin did a <a href="http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/top-10-programming-fonts/">review of programming fonts</a> and identified <a href="http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html">Inconsolata</a> as his favourite of the ten he presented. I tried out Inconsolata after this recommendation but have gone back to Consolas. There were a few things that I didn't like about Inconsolata: It feels a bit round, it has a weird lowercase ‘t’ that ends up looking bold when the other text isn’t, the 'i' looks a bit thin and using left curly quotes all the time looks a bit strange. I also thought the tilde wasn’t defined enough, particularly in a prompt. Being freely available and not having to jump through hoops is certainly a plus though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A few weeks later Dan posted a <a href="http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/anonymous-pro-programming-monospace-font/">follow up post about Anonymous Pro</a>. I personally can't see what the attraction to that one is. The larger type looks with a mix of upper and lowercase letter appears like two different fonts and ends up looking a total mess to me.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Around the same time as Dan's second post news broke that <a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/06/font-changes-coming-to-mac-os-x-snow-leopard.ars">Snow Leopard will ship with a new monospaced font</a> called Menlo that will replace the use of Monaco as the default font in applications like Terminal and Xcode. Menlo is derived from DejaVu Sans Mono which is in turn derived from Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Jon Shea from ExpanDrive posted a <a href="http://blog.expandrive.com/2009/06/15/menlo-vera-sans-mono-comparison/">comparison of Menlo to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</a> that shows the changes that Apple have made. From this comparison they all look quite sensible. The Vera family has been licensed in a <abbr title="Free and Open Source Software">FOSS</abbr> friendly manner and is included as a system font in many Linux distributions. I've also tried Vera Mono for programming in the past but again I still like the feel of Consolas more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Below is a screen shot of each font (<del datetime="2009-07-22T11:06:40+00:00">except Menlo, which isn't widely available yet</del> Menlo screen shot supplied by <a href="http://wezm.net/2009/06/programming-fonts-recap/#comment-3709">eric s</a>) in <a href="http://macromates.com/">TextMate</a> using my preferred theme, <a href="http://github.com/ryanb/textmate-themes/tree/master">Railscasts</a>. Note that my baseline was Consolas 13pt and I adjusted the others to approximately the same size. The code snippet used is the same as Dan used in his Anonymous Pro post.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This week I wanted to write a script that would get my account balances from <a href="http://www.nab.com.au/">nab</a> Internet Banking. These types of things are generally quite simple with Ruby and <a href="http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/">Mechanize</a>. I got the basics of the script up and running fairly quickly but when I ran it the site always rejected my username and password.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After a lot more time in the Safari Web Inspector I finally worked out that the site actually expects the password submitted to the login page to be 'mixed' with a key that is unique for each page load. The 'mixing' (for lack of a better description) is performed by a javascript function. After I reimplemented this function in my Ruby script I was then able to sucessfully login and retrieve my account balances. My code is supplied below for anyone else who is wanting to do something like this.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For a while now I've had it in my mind to create a temperature logger. For no explainable reason I'm always curious about the temperature, particularly the extremes and strange fluctuations in one day. My idea is a basically to come up with a device that can read the inside and outside temperature and report these back to a host computer. The host would log the values in a database and make the current value and ideally the history available via a website.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I finally got started on the project a couple of weeks back. I'm using an <a href="http://store.gravitech.us/arna30wiatp.html">Arduino Nano</a> as the bridge between the temperature sensors and the computer. Originally I was going to use (and actually purchased) the PIC based <abbr title="USB Bit Whacker"><a href="http://www.schmalzhaus.com/UBW/">UBW</a></abbr> but after seeing that the Arduino only cost a little more and had a full, freely available development tools for Mac OS X I switched to that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The temperature sensors are TI <a href="http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tmp275.html">TMP275</a>, 2-wire (SMBus) high accuracy digital temperature sensors. The largest package I could get them in was SOIC so I ordered some little adaptor PCBs from eBay. To solder them I also bought a fine soldering iron tip and solder paste from Jaycar.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So far I have soldered the temperature sensors to their adaptor boards and got the Arduino up and running with an LCD. The next step is to wire in the sensors. When that's all working I'd like to use a simple RF transmitter/receiver pair to allow the outside sensor to be put on a separate device outside by itself and have its reading collected wirelessly.

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[Any reason you didn't go for the 1-wire stuff? I've got some DS1820 (?)'s that come in your standard, through hole transistor-style packaging that make interfacing with a breadboard really easy :) And interfacing is easy if you've only got a single device on the wire.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And I was considering buying one of those USB Bit Whacker boards, as I wanted to get a USB PIC (running out of PC's with serial ports!) and figured that I can get a pic + board and then just interface with what I want (zigbee, 1-wire stuff etc) via breadboard.]]></wp:comment_content>

<wp:comment_content><![CDATA[I was under the impression that the 1-wire ones weren't especially accurate but looking into it seems they are the same. One benefit of the TMP275 is that since they're essentially I²C devices the AVR can talk to them in hardware. However there does appear to be a 1-Wire library for the Arduino.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Being able to power them from the single wire (plus ground) seems like a greate feaure though. Looks like one wire sensors can be had for about $5.50 from <a href="http://www.littlebirdelectronics.com/collections/frontpage/products/one-wire-digital-temperature-sensor-ds18b20" rel="nofollow">Little Bird</a> so I may in fact change my design to use them instead.]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to installing UNIX style software. I prefer to install it via the package manager on the platform of choice (E.g. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool">apt</a> on Debian or <a href="http://www.macports.org/">Mac Ports</a> on Mac OS X). However these repositories don't always contain the particular package you're after or may contain an outdated version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In situations like these where you end up building the package yourself I used to employ a system where I would install it into a subdirectory within my home directory. I did this because it doesn't overwrite a pre-existing system installed version, doesn't require root privileges and permits quick removal. To achieve this I just passed the <code>--prefix</code> option to the configure script before building. For example if I was building vala I might run the configure script as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre>./configure --prefix=$HOME/Local/vala</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Following that with the typical <code>make</code>, <code>make install</code> sees the package built and installed into that directory. The problem with this approach is that for every package you build you have to add the target directory to search paths such as: <code>PATH</code>, <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>, <code>MANPATH</code>, <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>. After a while this gets a bit unwieldy. This is where <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/">GNU Stow</a> comes in.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stow manages these separate target directories by creating symlinks into the parent directories. For example to build vala I would pass a prefix of <code>$HOME/Local/stow/vala</code> to the configure script. After vala is built and installed, change to the <code>$HOME/Local/stow</code> directory and run <code>stow vala</code>. This results in symlinks to the files in <code>$HOME/Local/stow/vala</code> being created in <code>$HOME/Local</code>, with directory structure preserved. So if vala installs files to <code>bin</code> and <code>lib</code> these files will end up under <code>$HOME/Local/bin</code> and <code>$HOME/Local/lib</code> respectively.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stow can also delete the symlinks to support uninstalling. The end result is that you only need to add one extra directory to each of the search paths and custom software can be built, installed and uninstalled all without messing with the standard system and root privileges.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I had an idea today when navigating around in the shell. All my work related files are stored in <code>~/Work</code>. Under that there's a folder for each project. Sometimes there are multiple variations on a project or project with a similar prefix such as:
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>radiopaedia</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>radiopaedia-stable</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>radiant-sites</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I type <code>rad [Tab]</code> in my shell (<a href="http://www.zsh.org/">zsh</a>) it kindly completes this to <code>radi</code> and gives a list of the other completions since there are several to choose from. I though it would be nice if the shell could learn from the choices I make. So if I generally choose radiopaedia then <code>rad [Tab]</code> would complete to radiopaedia but still show the list of option.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm sure there are several other areas where an adaptive shell that learnt from usage patterns could be applied.]]></content:encoded>

The main resource is the zshcompsys manual page. It's complicated,

I'm afraid, far too much to go into here. See also the user guide

|

|
|
Stephenson (me), published by Apress, ISBN 1-59059-376-6. Chapter 10

tells you how to configure the completion system and chapter 15 how

|
to write your own completion functions.
|

Looks like you could use a temp file that saves your last completions, and run a perl command or something over that file, using the 'command' option to zsh' completion system.]]></wp:comment_content>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I've been meaning to write a post about backup for some time now. This morning after posting a <a href="http://popcorn.cx/blog/2009/08/i-dont-trust-the-cloud/#comment-53264">comment on Stephen's blog</a> about it I decided it was time to finish it off.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My backup strategy has been evolving since around 2006 when I decided that my photos were not amply secure in case of disaster. My backup solution at the time was to periodically burn a copy to CD, which I kept in my house. The obvious limitation here is that if the house is destroyed, by fire for example, all my photos are lost. What got me thinking about this originally was there actually was a major fire in one of the apartments in the block that I lived in. I was away at the time so was fortunate it didn't spread to the other apartments.

<h3>The iPod Solution</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I looked in to off-site backup solutions such a burning CDs and sending them to my parents and syncing to an external drive and storing it at work. Online, "cloud" solutions were too expensive at the time for the amount of data I wanted to store. My solution in the end was to buy the biggest iPod available at the time, a fifth generation, 60Gb. This had enough room to store all my music and photos as well as some other important data. It was also always on me when I went out. I figured that if a fire or something happened when I was at home I would grab it on the way out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This worked reasonably well as iTunes synced the music and photos automatically. There was a manual step to sync the data though, which mean it was never as up to date. This was all fine until the iPod was stolen. Whilst I was more upset at the circumstances that led to it being taken I also didn't like the idea of someone having all of my important data.

|
<h3>ExaVault</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With the iPod gone I started using <a href="http://www.exavault.com/">ExaVault</a>, an online service that gives you access to a certain amount of storage via rsync for a monthly fee. This worked well for smaller datasets (ie. not photos and music) but it was too expensive to consider pushing tens of gigabytes to. ExaVault was great because I could schedule the backup to run via cron and it didn't require any thought after that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To mitigate the risk of losing photos I setup a Time Machine drive when Mac OS X 10.5 was released and also stored a copy of my Aperture library in a vault on an external drive. I still didn't have a remote solution for them though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<a name="s3"></a>
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Amazon S3</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I started a new job a coleegue mentioned that he was using <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/">Amazon S3</a> for backup and it was really cheap. I looked into it and found that S3 offered pricing low enough that it was financially feasible to push a copy of all my photos to the service. I considered <a href="http://www.jungledisk.com/">Jungle Disk</a> but in the end didn't go with it because I wanted a single solution that I could use on my Linux VPS as well as my Mac. I ended up using <a href="http://s3sync.net/">s3sync</a>, which is basically <a href="http://www.samba.org/rsync/">rsync</a> for S3. This had the added benefit of being a drop in replacement for my ExaVault setup.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The initial upload of over 40Gb of photos to S3 took a couple of weeks I think but after that it happily ran without any drama. I also moved VPS hosts and was able to pull down configs from S3 after the old server had become inaccessible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Whilst I had the S3 solution in place I upgraded my Mac. I bought a second drive for the new Mac, which left me with the factory supplied drive. I use this drive as a Time Machine drive and it is big enough to keep a copy of almost everything on the main drive. The few things that aren't backed up are my Downloads folder and my Movies folder (although it does copy movies I take on my camera).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h4>S3 Problems</h4>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After a while I noticed that s3sync was coping a few files every time it ran, even though they hadn't changed. These files had Unicode filenames. After some research I found out that <a href="http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150.html#UnicodeSubtleties">HFS+ uses decompesed character sequences in filenames</a>. However these did not play nice with s3sync. Presumably they were stored in pre-composed format on S3 and were then seen as different when the sync was run.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
s3sync also uses a questionable method to store the attributes of the folders that it syncs. Since S3 doesn't have a concept of folders s3sync creates a file with the name of the folder and stores its attributes (permissions, owner, etc.) in it. What this ends up meaning is that s3sync is the only tool that can perform a restore. Other tools create a file with the name of a folder then try to create files in that folder but can't because the name is already taken.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
<h3>Moving to Backblaze</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To save money I moved all the services I had running on my Linux VPS to my Mac at home. Since I now only had one machine that needed backing up and I didn't need Linux compatibility I had some more options. With the S3 issues I was seeing I decided to move to <a href="http://www.backblaze.com/partner/af0192">Backblaze</a><sup><abbr title="Affiliate link">$</abbr></sup>. For US$50 per year I get unlimited, versioned, encrypted storage and decent Mac support. They also have a web interface that can be handy for grabbing files from my Mac at home when I'm at work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The move to Backblaze took a lot longer than I had planned. First off uploading nearly 200Gb of data was always going to take a long time but it took far longer than it needed to due to a questionable default upload limit in the Backblaze application. It wasn't until after the two month or so initial upload finsihed that I discoved the setting. So advice to anyone performing an initial upload, <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/speedtest/">remove the upload limit</a>!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Deleting All Data in an S3 Bucket</h4>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An additional unexpected complexity in the move away from S3 was deleting the data in S3 after the Backblaze upload was complete. It isn't possible to just delete an S3 bucket and have all its data go with it. You have to delete all the data individually. This is where S3 as a backup service started to show its limitations. Its great if you're storing just photos or music but when you start syncing arbitrary files on a computer system you end up putting lots of little files up, some of which are quite weird. The primary example being Mac OS X Icon files, which are actually named 'Icon\r', yes that's a carriage return character in the filename. I have no idea why they are named like this but attempting to delete these files gave me all sorts of grief.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I started deleting eveything using <a href="http://s3tools.org/s3cmd">s3cmd</a> and its 'deleteall' action.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

This ran for a couple of days before I noticed it had got stuck in an infinite loop. It was deleting the same files over and over again. It was here that I had to step in and start deleting stuff interactively. This is when I found the awkward Icon files. I tried several S3 clients for the Mac. <a href="http://cyberduck.ch/">Cyberduck</a> ended up being the only one capable of removing them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://s3hub.com/">S3 Hub</a> could see but not delete</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://people.no-distance.net/ol/software/s3/">S3 Browser</a> couldn't delete</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>s3cmd looked like it deleted but didn't</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Eventually I did get everything deleted but it seemed a lot harder than it should have been.

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So that's my backup story to date. Pretty much everything is stored on two or more hard disks plus remotely on Backblaze.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
S3 is a great service but I don't think its well suited to backup, particularly if you're storing lots of small files. Using something like Jungle Disk would probably make it a lot more suitable though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Backup is important and can be difficult to get right as well as keep it affordable. I believe my current setup keeps my data secure barring any worldwide catastrophes, which I think is good enough. The one one remaining thing that this strategy doesn't cover is <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=191">silent data corruption</a>. Hopefully <a href="http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/">ZFS</a> will become fully supported in Mac OS X soon and that will no longer be a problem.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple have touted Mac OS X Snow Leopard as having no new features. Whilst there are no new big ticket features there have been plenty of tweaks and refinements. One part that got this treatment was the font smoothing options in System Preferences. In Leopard this allowed you to enable font smoothing and choose between four different levels of smoothing. In Snow Leopard there's now only a single option to enable the smoothing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The problem with this change is that is appears to default to the light option. As previously identified in, "<a href="http://www.wezm.net/2009/03/consolas-on-mac-update/">Consolas on Mac Update</a>", my preferred fixed width font Consolas doesn't look nice with the light smoothing and I prefer medium. Fortunately you can still choose the medium option but setting the preference directly via the defaults command in the Terminal:
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
<code>defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2</code>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You will need to relaunch any running applications for the change to be picked up. You can do this either by quitting and relaunching or logging out and then back in again.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Over a year ago in <a href="http://www.wezm.net/2008/09/update-expectations/">Update Expectations</a> I noted three Mac applications that I had bought, which had seen little or no attention since their release. Today I noticed that one of these apps had seen a major new release. The application in question is AppZapper. The <a href="http://osx.iusethis.com/app/versions/199">changelog on i use this</a> notes the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Free for all 1.x customers!</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Completely rewritten from the ground up for Snow Leopard</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Faster, smarter, easier to use zapping</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>New 'Hit List' feature lets you browse and filter all of your apps</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>New 'My Apps' feature lets you store license info for purchased applications</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Many overall improvements</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is great news. Although it would have been nice to see some evidence the application was still alive in the 3 years between updates.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also worth noting is another app that I mentioned in the original post, <a href="http://xtorrentp2p.com/">Xtorrent</a> has also seen some recent activity with the release of Xtorrent 2 in beta. I wonder if we'll ever see any of those amazing new features promised for <a href="http://www.discoapp.com/">Disco</a>.]]></content:encoded>

I was fortunate enough to attend for free again and was once again impressed by the spectacle of the show and tens of thousands of people in white. The crowd seemed smaller than last year but there were still more than enough people to give a good atmosphere.

We set off in the morning and had lunch at <a href="http://www.cloudehill.com.au/">Cloudhill Restaurant and Gardens</a>. After lunch we wandered around the many different areas of the garden. The hedges and geometric alignment of the gardens were very cool.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After that it was time to check-in at Linden Gardens. Google Maps gave us a dud route that sent us down a few interesting roads but we made it in the end. Our lodging for the night was "Sanctuary Tower", a three level mini-house with great views. After an in room massage we had a nice dinner at <a href="http://www.wildoak.com.au/">Wild Oak Restaurant</a> just around the corner. The food was excellent and the servings very generous.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The accommodation was fantastic, right down to the graphic design of the web site and stationary. There were lots of inclusions and thoughtful extras. The one complaint was that the bedroom was quite light when trying to sleep given not all the windows had blinds.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the morning we wandered around the gardens. The rainforest plans seem to have been planted some time ago and now it has that real rainforest feel. The paths in particular stood out as they were totally green with moss. After that it was time to go, it was a short but most enjoyable stay.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wezm/sets/72157623193938202/">Photos of Cloudhill and Linden Gardens</a> are on Flickr. Given the lovely weather we had I also took the opportunity to take bracketed shots to deal with the extreme range of light. I then merged them with the newly updated <a href="http://www.pangeasoft.net/pano/bracketeer/index.html">Bracketeer</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I use an SSH tunnel to access my computer at work from home. On occasion I want to clone a git repo that is on the remote server. To do so its necessary to specify the port, which doesn't work with the conventional clone syntax.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
E.g. <code>git clone hostname:path/to/repo</code>. The solution is to be a little more specific:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
git clone ssh://localhost:2222/~username/path/to/repo

<p>The iPad announcement last week created a cacophony of commentary ranging from, "Meh, its just a big iPod touch", to, "Wow, we're witnessing the future of computing". On announcement day I was firmly in the former camp. There appeared to be nothing new aside from the larger screen and a custom Apple <abbr title="System on Chip">SoC</abbr> inside.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Since then I've read a lot of smart commentary on the iPad, which has swayed my opinion quite a bit.</p>

<p>Rob Foster suggests <a href="http://northtemple.com/2010/02/01/on-ipads-grandmas-and-gam">its not the geeks that are excited about the iPad</a>:</p>
|

|
|
|

|
|

<p>I'm a programmer, I write software both as a profession and a hobby. On my computer I frequently use compilers, interpreters, an IDE, advanced text editors, web servers, database servers and command line tools in addition to the more common web browsers, email client, music player, video player and chat client. The iPad feels weak to me because I clearly can't do a lot of those things on it. I am of course in a minority. For everyone else a computer that just works is all they ask. Your typical computer user shouldn't have to know about drivers, viruses, file permissions, software installers.</p>

<p>There's a class of computers that has been operating like Apple's mobile platform for decades: video game consoles. The model of computing that Apple is using for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is very similar to that of say Nintendo. Closed systems, software approval, single main task at a time, limited expandability, ease of use, hardware abstraction are all features of both consoles and Apple's mobile devices.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p><a href="http://stevenf.tumblr.com/post/359224392/i-need-to-talk-to-you-about-computers-ive-been">Steven Frank</a> and <a href="http://speirs.org/blog/2010/1/29/future-shock.html">Fraser Speirs</a> suggest we're entering the future of computing with the iPad and I now think they may be right. The iPad and its successors will make computing a bit less general but a lot more approachable for the typical consumer.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>All is not lost for us tinkerers though. Just like game consoles the iPad needs software too. And whilst the iPad is not self-hosting (yet) there's still a need for "real" computers and programmers to write the software.</p>

<h3>A Dark Future?</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Alex Payne <a href="http://al3x.net/2010/01/28/ipad.html">is wary of the future that iPad style computing may bring</a>:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>For now, though, I remain disturbed. The future of personal computing that the iPad shows us is both seductive and dystopian. It’s not a future I want to bring into my home.</p></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>He makes a good point. If every computer out there were an iPad style device, totally locked down and under the control of its parent company there would be little room for exploration. However that's never stopped people before, just look at the efforts of the iPhone jail-breaking teams or the ongoing efforts to conquer the Xbox 360. Not only that, there's the open source movement fuelled by a desire to make everything from hardware to software totally visible and free to modify.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The products of open source projects don't have a great reputation for having a fine attention to detail or remarkable ease of use but they exist. And just by existing they ensure that there will always be things for the budding tinkerers out there to explore, modify, extend and learn from.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>Single Focus Computing</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Much attention has been made of the fact that its only possible to run one app at a time. Many people seem to attributing this to a limitation of the processor used in the iPad or the iPhone OS itself. Both of these are of course totally wrong. The iPad, along with the iPhone and iPod touch are quite capable of running more that one process at a time. In fact that's how email gets sent and received in the background and how your music keeps playing when you're in the Facebook app. Milind Alvares attempts to clear up some of these misconceptions in, <a href="http://smokingapples.com/opinion/multi-tasking-iphone-ipad/">Understanding Multi-tasking on the iPad: What is it really?</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The iPad is promoting single focus computing. It does away with the memory requirements, power use, and task management that comes along with running more than one major app at a time. Just like hiding the underlying file layout simplifies things, so does this.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>As the iPhone has shown us, there's very little actual need for more than one app running at a time. As long as the experience of switching between apps is fast and state preserving it often doesn't really matter if an app is stopped and started or just switched to. There are of some widely cited exceptions to this though: Chat clients and third party music players.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote cite="http://twitter.com/ekabanov/status/8692060865">iPad doubters -- remember how iPhone didn't have COPY-PASTE for 2 years? Now compare THAT to multitasking!
|
|||
|
|
-- <cite><a href="http://twitter.com/ekabanov/status/8692060865">Jevgeni Kabanov</a></cite></blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The inability to run a chat client or third party music player in the background right now does not mean that it won't be added in the future. I'm sure Apple is well aware of these use cases, just like it proved to be well aware of the need for copy-and-paste on the iPhone.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>There are solutions to both these problems that don't require full graphical apps to be run in parallel. The music player problem would be solved if the iPad SDK permitted a non-graphical background process to be left running. The OS could even impose strict limitations on the system resources that the process may use. In fact this is already possible in Mac OS X<sup><a href="http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/setrlimit.2.html#//apple_ref/doc/man/2/setrlimit">1</a></sup>, so given iPhone OS's pedigree may already be present.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The chat client problem could be addressed in a similar fashion: A non-graphical background process with the added ability to send notifications. This is already possible with push notifications, however imagine they could be generated by the background app and perhaps also include standard user interface elements, much like third party apps in the Settings app. This way a new chat message could be displayed, with a field to allow a reply. Obviously these notifications would need to be less intrusive than they are now but it shows its possible.</p>

<h3>Flash Must Die</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

<blockquote cite="http://twitter.com/kirkoconnor/statuses/8655575132">RT @mashable: Apple's iPad: Will it Improve the Web? (Cashmore/CNN)- http://bit.ly/d1UgWF flash, like IE6, must die

|
|
<p>From my geeky point of view Flash is a rash on the web and the quicker it just goes away the better. However I know there's a lot of people out there that are writing the iPad off due its lack of support for Flash. The thing is, if Apple sticks to its guns and doesn't include Flash on the iPad it can only help push the adoption of alternatives like the HTML5 <code>canvas</code> and <code>video</code> tags. Sure there's going to be some pain until that time but we'll all be better off at the end.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hubert Feyrer posted, <a href="http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20100212_1706.html">Musing about git's object store efficiency</a> yesterday. In it he compared the apparent efficiency of git's object store to CVS's stacked patches. His methodology was to checkout all 963 versions of the NetBSD i386 GENERIC kernel configuration file and then sum up the space used. He comes to the following conclusion:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>the git model requires about 37 times the space that CVS does</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and:
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>that's not counting the overhead of 962 inodes and the related directory bookkeeping</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He finishes off with an acknowledgement that git has data packing features:
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote> I know that git offers some more efficient storage methods via "pack" files, but investigating those is left as an exercise to the reader. </blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I generally enjoy Hubert's posts but as a daily user of git this one didn't sit right with me. I thought I'd take up the aforementioned exercise.
|
|||
|
|
<!--more-->I retrieved the GENERIC,v rcs file<sup>1</sup> and created a git repository<sup>2</sup>.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I then ran <a href="http://gist.github.com/303277">a script</a><sup>3</sup>, which committed each revision of the file along with a single line commit message extracted from the rcs log.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The repository then weighed in at 22,352kb<sup>4</sup> with 3,174 files and directories<sup>5</sup>. This is where git-gc comes in. From the man page, "git-gc - Cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the local repository". After running <code>git gc</code><sup>6</sup> the size of the repository was down to 1,068kb, 1.24 times the rcs file. The file and directory count also vastly smaller at 64.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So all in all git fares pretty well. Sure the repository is bigger than CVS and there's a few more files but its not in order Hubert suggests and its a small price to pay for all the benefits git provides.
