Cable Modem Surprise

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 03:55:01 +0000

I recently signed up for Suddenlink internet service in a house that previously had only DSL. I was pretty excited to go from 5mbit/s to 400mbit/s - DSL just isn’t great for supporting multiple video sessions at once.

Suddenlink is the cable company in this town, and they offer 400mbit/s for a reasonable price of $58/mo. They charge $10/mo to rent a modem, so it makes no financial sense to use their modem. Theoretically any DOCSIS 3.0 or 3.1 modem with at least 16x4 channels should work fine at 400mbit speed. After some investigation, I settled on a Netgear CM600. I have a CM1000 at another location and it’s worked fine, so Netgear seemed solid.

Makeup Battlestation

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:29:17 +0000

Introduction

I’ve been meaning to design and build a makeup battlestation for Liz for a while. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a battlestation is what makeup junkies call the area where they apply their makeup.

Liz prefers to do her makeup standing up at a wall mirror, so I figured I would start with that. I just had a basic door hang mirror with a wooden frame (like this one). Thus I decided to build everything around that mirror. The following describes the parts I used and how I assembled it. Anyone with basic construction skills can easily do the same, and end up with something like I did:

Hawaii Trip 2016

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:28:48 +0000

We went to Hawaii for 10 days in July 2016. Here is my travelogue.

Day One (July 6)

This was the day we landed on the island, so I didn’t write too much originally.

Day 2 (July 7)

Hawaii trip day two update: we did some amazing snorkeling today in the ocean. It was like being inside an aquarium. I also ate waaay too much shave ice. No regrets. The boys have become much more comfortable in the water. Looks like this is the vacation where they finally become capable swimmers.

Space X Nasa Social

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:28:26 +0000

Mars Mars Mars Mars

In April I was fortunate to be selected a NASA Social attendee for the CRS-8 launch at Kennedy Space Center. NASA spent two days ferrying 50 of social media users around the complex, culminating in the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket on a resupply of the International Space Station. It was an amazing experience. I don’t think I am exaggerating when I say it was a once in a lifetime event for me.

Roku M 500 Automation

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:32:13 +0000

Overview

I am a long-time owner of a Roku Soundbridge M500 internet radio. You may have never heard of these devices - the Soundbridge was Roku’s first foray in to streaming before they moved to video streaming. While the M500 was discontinued many years ago, it still works and in fact I use mine daily to listen to the radio. This post covers my attempts to understand how to control the M500 remotely, and provides some info about how to make one of these old devices work in the modern age.

Wii Hacking Guide

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 07:08:49 +0000

How to Turn a Worn Out Old Console In To An Amazing Game Machine

Intro

The Nintendo Wii is a completely obsolete ‘7th generation’ game console. Nintendo stopped selling the original version of the Wii all the way back in 2013 in the US. So, why bother with a Wii in 2019? Well, there are a number of reasons:

It’s cheap!

You can pick up an entire system on eBay for $50-$60.

It’s fun!

There are hundreds of excellent games you can play on it.

It’s hackable!

There’s a robust world of hacks and mods available that can completely change your Wii experience.

I first got involved with Wii hacking a few years ago when a friend gave me his old Wii. It came with a few games and my young sons enjoyed playing them. However, I found having to constantly change discs to change games to be annoying. I knew that there were ways to modify your Wii and I suspected that I could do something like load games on to an SD card. Thus, I started investigating. The result of that investigation is this guide.

Home Lighting Automation with Philips Hue and Zigbee 3.0

Wed, 08 May 2019 21:07:54 +0000

Overview

I’ve been running Hue Smart Lightbulbs in my house for a couple of years. The basic idea is there’s a hub that connects to your home network and then communicates with light bulbs or other devices over some sort of wireless protocol. Prior to 2018, Hue used an older variant of the Zigbee protocol called ZLL or Zigbee Light Link. While some bulbs from other manufacturers used ZLL and would work with the Hue system, other bulbs used a different Zigbee variant called Zigbee Home Automation or ZHA.

Transit Connect Hacking

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 00:16:24 +0000

A Tutorial for Reprogramming Approach Lighting on a 2018 Ford Transit Connect

Introduction

I recently purchased a brand new 2018 Ford Transit Connect Wagon. I love this vehicle: it’s basically the only minimal minivan you can currently buy in the US. Seats 7, plenty of cargo space, and a complete lack of the ridiculous features you find on the Odyssey or the Sienna.

However, one thing that annoyed me was the way the lights worked. Every time you open a door, all the exterior lights (except for the headlights) would come on, and stay on for several minutes (or until the doors were locked).

The Quest

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 04:39:16 +0000

Ah, seltzer water. The finest drink in the finest of restaurants. Refreshment of kings. There are just two problems with selter water, if you are as frugal as I am.

It’s expensive for what you get
It’s wasteful, what with all those bottles or cans There must be a better way to do things, right? I knew about the Sodastream system, so that seemed a reasonable thing to check out. Well. the Sodastream does the job for sure, ure, but it has problems:
proprietary co2 bottles that you can’t refill
proprietary bottles that are expensive In parallel, I investigated old fashioned ‘seltzer bottles’. I even purchased this bottle from Isi. The idea here is that you fill the canister with water and inject co2 via a small cartridge that you screw on.

The Isi worked fine once I figured it out. The cost was reasonable, if you purchased large boxes of third party chargers - around 30 cents per quart. It was less wasteful than buying bottles of soda water at the store, but probably more wasteful than the sodastream since you have to use a charger cartridge for every quart of water. Plus, the whole process of filling the canister with water, finding the chargers, installing a charger, etc. was (although fun in an old timey way) ultimately annoying. Surely I could do better, right? Back to the interent for more research.

I’ve been getting back in to cycling over the last couple of years. Currently I do a weekly group ride of 20-25 miles and I ride to the train every day for work.

I’ve been doing this all on a 20 year old Dawes triathlon bike. It’s treated me well, but it’s very heavy (33 lbs) and too small for me - I’m 6'6" and it’s only something like a 58cm frame.

Talking To Children About Trump

Wed, 26 Oct 2016 07:05:12 +0000

So maybe you’ve noticed that there’s some really crazy shit going on in this presidential election. If you have young kids, you might be wondering how to keep them educated about world events and at the same time deal wth the uncomfortable questions that will come up. Here are my thoughts on the matter, and my general advice on

How To Talk To Your Kids About Trump

Let’s get right in to it: how do you talk to your kids about sexual assault, rape, and presidential candidates who say, “take a tic tac and grab ’em by the pussy”? Here’s the answer: you talk about it. What I mean is that you can’t beat around the bush here. A lot of people just don’t want to talk to their kids about uncomfortable subjects like these. Tough shit. You have to talk to your kids whether you like it or not. Just because you don’t want to talk about it doesn’t mean it goes away.

Let's Encrypt!

Wed, 12 Oct 2016 07:00:10 +0000

Let’s Encrypt is a free certificate authority that was launched earlier this year. What that means is you no longer have to choose between self-signed certificates or buying certificates to secure your web site and other services. Buying certificates could cost $20-$50 per domain, and it was always a hassle to renew them. Now, you can use the Let’s Encrypt tools to create certificates and automate renewals. Using these certificates also means an end to annoying ‘untrusted site’ popups for your users.

Logging to Systemd with Artifactory

Wed, 05 Oct 2016 06:18:52 +0000

By default, Artifactory sends it’s log messages to $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/logs/artifactory.log. This is fine, but it’s handy to also send the log files to the system log. This is expecially true if you use a modern linux that runs systemd, as systemd provides the journalctl utility to display and filter logs.

Jfrog has this page about logging to syslog, and the information there is generally correct. However, it’s not complete. The following is my complete guide to sending artifactory logs to syslog.

Living Clojure - A Study Group

Sun, 02 Oct 2016 21:41:39 +0000

Overview

This is an online study group dedicated to learning the Clojure language. The target audience is people who have done some programming in other languages and want to learn Clojure.

The study group will meet online for one hour every other week. The first meeting will be at 9pm on Thursday 9/8/16. Please obtain the book and finish the first chapter by that time.

My goal is to get 4-5 people in on this.

Bash Hashes

Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:42:22 +0000

Greetings

Bash 4.x has associative arrays (hashes if you are an old perl user like me). The existing examples of how to use them on the internet are not very well documented, so I thought I would write up my experience from a recent real world project.

Note this only works for bash 4.x.

First Example

Use a while/read loop to process a file line by line. Here is a sample input file (file.txt) which comes from the aws cli ‘describe-snapshots’ output (in text mode). The fields are tab-delimited.

My Mental Breakdown

Mon, 05 Sep 2016 17:19:00 +0000

I took this picture in February of 2009 and I want to tell you about what was going with my mental state on when I took it.

2009 was the beginning of the end for me in a lot of ways. I had moved back to California from NYC in July of 2008 and taken a job at Yahoo, largely as a last-ditch effort to appease my then wife. After a few months it became clear that things were not getting better. Our first son was two years old at the time, things weren’t going great in New York, and I was desperately trying to figure out how to survive an abusive marriage with a mentally unstable woman. I had not yet discovered how Wellbutrin could help my depression so I was in a very low place.

Why You Should Change Your Language

Mon, 05 Sep 2016 17:18:08 +0000

The Problem With Words

One big issue in my professional world (computer operations) is a lack of introspection about how our language affects people. I know I’ve been guilty of this many times. I used to not think it was a big deal, but I’ve come to realize that my attitude was wrong, and I needed to change the way that I think and talk. This post is my attempt to explain my thoughts and hopefully convince you to modify your language as well. I should note that while I am focused on my profession, most of these idea apply in any setting.

Artifactory Data Dog

Sun, 29 May 2016 04:25:42 +0000

Overview

Artifactory is a binary repository manager. Basically it’s an equivalent to using something like git, except for built artifacts.

If that sentence doesn’t mean anything to you, you can stop reading.

I recently had to figure out how to set up monitoring of Artifactory. The available documentation isn’t very good, so here are my notes on how to get everything set up.

JMX

Artifactory is a Tomcat web app and it exposes monitoring information via Java Management Extensions (JMX). The first step is to enable jmx for your artifactory instance.

Ssh Always Screen

Sun, 15 May 2016 04:28:46 +0000

This one is for the sysadmins out there. If you use this, you will never have to worry about losing long-running commands when you get disconnected from a remote server.

tl;dr: you should be automatically starting screen when you ssh to remote hosts. This has saved my butt many times. My script below either forces a reconnect to an existing screen session, or starts a new session if one doesn’t already exist.

Armed Women

Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:45:57 +0000

women should be allowed to open carry in SF
— B.T. Stephens, Esq. (@LusciousPear) April 27, 2016

This tweet got me thinking. What would the world be like if only women were allowed to carry guns in our society. Let’s assume this only applies to civilians and the police and military would continue to function as normal. Let’s also assume that the regular caveats for who can own a gun would still apply - for example, woment with severe mental health problems wouldn’t be allowed to have guns.

Java, LDAP, and Chained Self-Signed Certificates

Sun, 20 Mar 2016 00:50:38 +0000

Introduction

I had a java / tomcat app (Artifactory) that was configured to use LDAP for user authentication, and I was asked to make it use LDAP over SSL with a self-signed certificate. That turned out to be not very well documented, so here are my notes on how to do it.

First of all, you need to understand how java applications use security certificates. There’s a certificate store file (typically called cacerts) that contains all the public ssl trusted root keys. That file is loaded by the java interpreter when it starts up and serves as the source of truth for which certificates to trust. If your application uses an ‘officially’ signed certificate, everything will automatically work.

Viking Repair Manuals

Mon, 14 Mar 2016 05:33:58 +0000

Viking Designer 1 Repair Manuals

I have a Viking Designer 1 sewing machine. It’s one heck of an amazing machine that automates just about everything. It has a touchscreen and it does embroidery. There’s a usb port so you can upload embroidery designs to it.

The touchscreen on my machine recently broke, so I ordered a replacement one. I went searching on the internet for the repair manual and couldn’t find it. The only place I could find one was on ebay, where I had to pay $13 for the privilege of downloading the pdf.

Bundler Timeout Setting

Mon, 14 Mar 2016 05:32:09 +0000

Bundler Timeouts

After an Artifactory upgrade at work, users began complaining that bundler (the ruby package management tool) was timing out trying to fetch dependencies. Bundler wold try 4 times to download the dependencies for a gem, and then give up. After that it would just download the gemspec for every gem, which would take many, many times longer than retrieving the index.

I should note of course that we are using Artifactory as our gem repo, and the bundler Gemfile was pointing at our Artifactory server. Both the old and new server used mysql for the backend.

Dahua 4300s Camera

At my company lunch on Friday, I brought up an item I had read in the New York Times by saying, so I saw this piece in the Times yesterday.

Because, of course, if you live in NYC, there is only one Times. You can also refer to the Wall Street Journal as the Journal.

Coney Island Cell Phones

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:54 +0000

R and Sara Hatfield chatting on their cellphones at Coney Island.

Side note: all of the photos in these series are underexposed because the light meter battery in my camera was dying.

Coney Island R Parking

R strikes a pose at Coney Island.

Terry Robert Smith Halloween

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:38 +0000

Terry Bartlett as Robert Smith for Halloween.

Terry’s a professional dancer now with the Streb company in New York.

Church Fire

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:30 +0000

The Grace United Methodist church in Santa Cruz burned down last year. R and I were going to catch a late movie when we saw a giant plume of smoke coming from town. We were worried that it was a friend’s business, so we skipped the movie and checked out the fire instead. I always carry a camera with me, so I managed to get a few pictures. Some of these are a little blurry because I shot them all handheld.

Colin R Katie Hallway

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:21 +0000

We spent the weekend at The Diva, an ‘arty’ hotel in San Francisco. The hotel was very cool, but the service was rotten. I mean just surly as hell.

You would think with so much hotel competition in the city, they would try harder to leave a good impression.

Oh well, the hotel itself was cool.

One cool thing about The Diva is that you can go out on the fire escapes and watch the city. More on that later.

Katie R Phil Bed Diva

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:07 +0000

Two more shots of everyone crammed on the bed:

Colin Folk Songs

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:23:00 +0000

Colin can’t resist a guitar.

East Coast Blackout

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:22:53 +0000

The great blackout of 2003 occurred on August 14 and lasted about 24 hours.

Here’s what I wrote at the time:

We were totally affected by the blackout. Lost power at 4:10pm and lost network connectivity at the same time. Waited 45 minutes, then decided to shut down computers (all systems in our office are on big battery backups). Shutdown took about 90 minutes - going through servers, hitting power buttons in the rack - fun. Luckily, the markets close at 4, so it wasn’t totally damaging for my company.

Four Wheelin

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:22:39 +0000

R tipped the four-wheeler on the side about a minute after I took this picture.

Stephen R Phil

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:22:28 +0000

A wonderful picture of Stephen and R. I’m laughing like a madman in the background, not sure exactly why.

Aaron took this picture with his digital camera. Props to his photography skillz.

If you want a hard copy of this picture, you can pick it up on Aaron’s Ofoto albums.

Greenhouses Of Mystery

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:22:05 +0000

Actually there’s nothing mysterious here, I just used a catchy title to grab your interest.

March 2002: Took a tour of the Cavanaugh Colors nursery in Watsonville, CA. You may remember Katie Cavanaugh from some of our previous excursions; this is her parents’ business.

They grow bedding flowers for sale to local retailers, who then sell them to you.

Meagan R Phil Sailing

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:21:23 +0000

Meagan, R and I on Meagan’s uncle’s boat in Santa Monica in fall 2001 after a day of sailing.

Higinbothams Livingroom

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:21:15 +0000

The whole Higinbotham family on their couch in Missoula, MT. This family has taken R and I in over the years and provide us a place to stay whenever we make it back to Missoula. They are truly some of the kindest and most generous people we know.

R Lauren Grad

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:21:03 +0000

R with our roomate Lauren Crowder at R’s cousin Jaime’s graduation from UC Santa Barbara, 1998.

I like this picture becuase of the enigmatic look on R’s face.

Moclub Armwrestle

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:20:55 +0000

Heater (Heather) Higinbotham and Karina trying to determine who buys the next round. At the Missoula Club in Missoula

This is an example of the twists and turns in the paths. You can go on to more friends or turn to Missoula pictures.

Or trust me and continue

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:20:34 +0000

More swingers.

New York Notes

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:20:27 +0000

I just moved to NYC all the way from sunny northern California (august 2003). Scotto suggested I write down my thoughts on what’s similar here and what isn’t, the idea being I will forget all the differences after a while. Update: I’ve also started collecting tips for moving to New York.

Gum on the sidewalk - so many people, so much gum - it’s little black spots everywhere on the sidewalk. Not sticky or anything, but mashed into the very substance of the concrete.

New York Peeps

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:20:03 +0000

Someday there will be tons of New York pictures on this website, I promise. For now, here’s just one, of Sara and R in Times Square. Photographer unknown. Summer 2003.

New York Winter

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:19:50 +0000

Oh My God was it ever cold and miserable in New York over the winter of 2003/04.

Ny Winter Jake Grimace

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:19:41 +0000

Jake gets all jiggy wit the weather.

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:19:33 +0000

Jake, R, and a dude from Montana, as mentioned in previous picture.

Ny Winter Stock Exchange Christmas

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:19:26 +0000

The Christmas tree at the NYSE is actually much cooler than the one at Rockerfeller Center… and there aren’t any crowds.

Oregon Trip

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:18:06 +0000

We went to Eugene, Oregon in February and took exactly two pictures. Lame.

Still, in the interest of completeness, here they are:

Me and R:

Timmy and R:

Our good friend (and very talented violinist) Kevin was performing at the University of Oregon. Much fun.

Back to the beginning

Phil And R

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:17:45 +0000

Ok, these seems a little cheesy, but here is a path of just pictures of me and R. I have a number of very good pictures of the two of us which don’t seem to fit in any other path (yet?), so I’m putting them here and creating a new path.

Here are two teenagers who look vaguely like us.

R Equestrian

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:17:36 +0000

I hope to develop an entire path around R and her horse, but for right now here is just one such picture:

Phil Computer Phone

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:17:26 +0000

The few days before we left Santa Cruz were unfortunately pretty hectic, as this photo attests. I was setting up a new computer for Cookie while I tried to coordinate everything.

Phil Skateboard

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:15:52 +0000

Kickin it old-skool in the SCO parking lot. Santa Cruz spring 2002.

That’s the end of Sk8rDudes. If you are on the PhilAndR path you can continue. Otherwise you can or go back to the beginning.

Uss Intrepid

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:15:42 +0000

The USS Intrepid is a WWII-era aircraft carrier docked in New York City. It now serves as a floating museum (the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum), in much the same way as the UssHornet in Oakland. The Hornet and the Intrepid are both Essex-class carriers, so they are very similar.

The Intrepid has been a museum for longer, so it has more airplanes and exhibits.

Jake, R, and I visited the Intrepid in the fall of 2003.

R Birthday

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:15:32 +0000

We went to San Francisco for R’s 30th birthday party this year and stayed at a funky little hotel called The Diva, just a few blocks from Union Square. Good times were had by all.

We started our trip with a stop in Los Altos, because Colin managed to forget his id and we had to turn back around to get it…

Hk Apartment R Nicky

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:14:26 +0000

We bid you adieu for now from the center of the civilized world.

Just kidding. That’s R, but the gentleman is Nicky Khaki.

That’s the end of HellsKitchenApartment. You can go back to the beginning, or continue on to the streets of Hell’s Kitchen.

Hk Apt Backyard View

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:14:12 +0000

Perhaps you were wondering what the view out the back window of a spacious and luxurious Manhattan apartment might be? Look no further, for here is your answer:

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:14:05 +0000

And the view from our front door:

R with Scotto’s mom Joanne:

Kev Heater Phil Beach

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:13:07 +0000

Phil with Kevin and Heather Higinbotham at Main Beach in Santa Cruz.

Love those Higinbothams.

Kev R Party

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:59 +0000

continuing the Higinbotham theme, here’s Kevin and R at a party in Missoula, probably around 1996.

Kev R Studio

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:52 +0000

Kevin Higinbotham and R in Kevin’s studio, circa 1998?

His studio was in a converted grain elevator. The tower was made of 2x12 boards, stacked on the flat sides all the way up. That’s a tremondously solid pile of wood. At the bottom of the elevator there was a 3 inch deep groove in the solid wooden wall when years of grain had just worn it away to a beautifully smooth finish.

Lazy Backyard

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:36 +0000

One beautiful spring day (2003) in Capitola, we decided to play hooky and enjoy the sunshine in our backyard. The result? Good times.

Scotto Thespian

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:27 +0000

I have a lot of pictures of Scotto on this site because he always does funny stuff.

Somehow related to this pic.

Matt Hornet

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:16 +0000

Two views of Matt Singleton on the USS Hornet. A tour of the Hornet is well worth it - it’s difficult to describe how big an aircraft carrier is, you really have to experience it to appreciate it.

on the FriendsAndFamilyTwo path.

Meagan Pondering Hotel

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:12:05 +0000

R Scotto Katrina

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:11:53 +0000

R, Scotto, and Katrina in the Berkeley Hills. Scotto and Katrina are now engaged. They make a good couple.

Scotto and Katrina again, this time in the shack they used to live in:

You think I’m kidding about the shack part? That’s really what it was, or maybe a tool shed. Such is housing in northern California.

Scotto rigged a sink that drained in to the toilet tank in their small bathroom, which I think was pretty clever. I also remember that Katrina set the bathroom floor with shards of broken pottery in cement. She’s crafty that way.

Montana Twins Graduation

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:11:43 +0000

We traveled to Montana for R’s brothers’ high school graduation in June 2002. The following are various pictures from that trip.

Here are the two of them, Michael Hilburn and Stephen Hilburn:

New Orleans Church

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:11:33 +0000

The Catholic cathedral in New Orleans. We bought a postcard for my very Catholic grandma Catherine here. She passed away in the fall at the age of 93 after R and I took this trip.

It was just unbelievably hot in the square in front on the cathedral.

You know, I think that’s actually a mime in the foreground.

My grandmother lived in the same house for something like 71 years. Hey, that was in Gold Creek.

Sc Goodbye R Phil Kiss

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:09:07 +0000

Ah crap! I’m in this picture too!

A shout out to Dathan, Patricia, Katie, and Colin for making this enjoyable outing happen.

Back to the beginning.

R Phil Pebble Shadow

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:08:29 +0000

That concludes PhilAndR, back to the beginning.

R Heater Snow

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:07:56 +0000

I’m not sure I’m going to leave this one in the collection due to it’s low quality, but it does serve to illustrate just how much snow there was in Missoula when we went there for Christmas in 1997.

I probably didn’t take this picture.

That’s the end of FriendsAndFamilyTwo, back to the beginning.

R Backyard

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:07:08 +0000

Why no picture of me? Because I came out so pasty white in the sun that it’s painful to look upon my naked skin.

Back to the beginning.

R Annie Beach

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:06:53 +0000

Annie doesn’t like water much.

And finally, here I am holding Annie at the Fort Funston dog park near San Francisco.

This is the end of DogsAndCats. Back to the beginning.

We had to sign in when we first boarded the ship.

Coney Island Nathans

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:49:48 +0000

Nathans - the place where the hot dog was invented way back when. Guess what? Their hot dogs suck now.

Still, it’s obligatory that you try at least one when you’re at Coney Island, right?

Phil Car Window

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:49:20 +0000

I got in on the act too.

Alcatraz Two Cells

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:48:16 +0000

A nice bit of symmetry between two cells at Alcatraz:

Alcatraz R Cell

Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:48:01 +0000

Look at the contrast between her beautifully manicured nails and the grim surroundings.

Katie R Smooch

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:38:16 +0000

It was all plur, baby.

Phil Meagan Katie Hotel Room

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:37:19 +0000

Meagan Devine showed up the second day we were at the hotel.

Hilarity ensued.

Elton John or Charles Nelson Reilley? Not sure.

Katrina Dancing

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:36:05 +0000

Katrina Lorne, dancing in her & Scotto’s Oakland loft. It’s in the ghet-to.

and R swinging:

Katrina Graduation

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:15:06 +0000

The lovely Katrina Lorne graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2002 with an art degree. Yay!

Scotto on the barbeque:

Hey, did you know that barbeque and ketchup are the only two words in our language which come from the indians in the caribean that Columbus met?

Actually I just looked that up on the web and it looks like maybe ketchup came from Malaysia. Oh well.

Thoughts On Mental Heath

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:52:18 +0000

Some Thoughts on Mental Health

I was talking with an old friend this weekend and the topic of depression came up. We both had a similar experience that I think more people should talk about. In her case, a therapist told her that she didn’t need to take an antidepressant because she was going to work, taking care of what needed to be done in her life, etc. In my case, I didn’t think an antidepressant would benefit me because, hey, I was going to work, taking care of my kids, paying the bills, and generally being a responsible adult.

Crockpot Lasagna

Mon, 21 May 2012 00:12:35 +0000

I’m trying to develop a good crockpot lasagna recipe. Initial results are promising.

Note I have a large crockpot (8 quart), so you will need to scale this down for a smaller model.

Ingredients

Two boxes spiral pasta
One large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef
.5 lb mild italian sausage
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
16 oz cottage cheese
.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
2.5 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1.5 tsp salt
3 tsp dried oregano

Directions

Brown ground beef, sausage, onion, and garlic in frying pan. Get the beef lightly brown and the onions translucent.

Setting up OpenVPN on a CentOS 4.8 Server

Wed, 09 May 2012 16:23:02 +0000

These are my notes on setting up a small company linux server to work as an OpenVPN vpn server. This machine acts as the router, public/private DNS server, and Samba server - basically the only server in the office. The clients are mainly Windows home machines. These steps should be suitable for anyone setting up a similar configuration.

Setting Up the Server

I will assume you have RPMForge set up already. Then it’s a simple yum command to install openvpn:

Devops Perceptions

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:08:21 +0000

Last week there was a bit of a dustup on the devops mailing list when Miles Fidelman asked about tools for managing shell scripts. This turned in to a lengthy and often heated email exchange which left me wondering about how devops is perceived by the outside world.

Mies didn’t feel like he got a good answer on the devops list so eventually he asked again on the LOPSA tech mailing list. At the end of that discussion someone asked what the devops list actually was. Miles had this explanation:

Web Hosting Options

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:44:45 +0000

I currently have www.hollenback.net hosted on totalchoicehosting.com. That costs $4 a month (starterhosting package) for 10GB disk space, 300GB bandwidth. My site currently (April 2011) hits a max of about 4.5GB/mo. bandwidth and I’m using 1.3GB of my allowed disk space.

UPDATE As of February 2012 I am in the process of moving everything to a pgrmr.com VPS.

UPDATE As of March 2012 I’ve moved everything over to pgrmr.com and shut down my Total Choice account. I’m very happy I made the switch.

DevOps Means Don't Be an A-hole

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:54:25 +0000

   "If the company's doing well and people don't hate each other, you're probably doing ok."
     	&#8211; John Allspaw, speaking at Devopsdays 2011 MV.

This year I had the pleasure of being a panelist at Devopsdays 2011. This is a two day mini conference where people interested in the DevOps movement get together to discuss the state of our world. The general theme of the conference was the technical and philosophical questions involved in building, deploying, and managing complex software systems.

Crockpot Chicken Soup

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:09:49 +0000

I threw together a crockpot chicken soup from stuff I found in my kitchen, and it turned out pretty well. Note that I have a large crockpot (8 quart), you will need to scale this down for a smaller model.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cubed
8 cups water
5 carrots, diced
5 stalks celery, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons better than bouillon vegetable base
1 teaspoon thyme
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Heat an saucepan to medium heat. Pour in olive oil, onions, peppers, and garlic. Saute (stirring frequently) until onions are translucent and peppers are beginning to get soft. Take off heat and set aside.

Smart Meter

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:52:43 +0000

My house has a PG&E smartmeter electronic power meter. I use smartermeter to extract my power usage from the PG&E website. Then smartermeter uploads the data to pachube, a service that allows you to connect various data sources to the internet and make graphs and such. I guess it’s sort of a data brokerage. Anyway, here’s the result. First, usage for the last three days: (Power usage graph via Pachube - service shut down in 2011)

Release Management Presentation: From Packages to Production

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:11:12 +0000

In April 2011 I presented a talk at the BayLISA sysadmins user group meeting. My talk was entitled Release Management from Packages to Production, and covered the work we do in the Release Management group in Yahoo Mail.

Who Does Deployments

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:58:03 +0000

So Who Should Be In Charge of Deployments, Anyway?

Mark Imbriaco said something provocative about software deployments the other day:

   Deployment and ops are orthogonal. Once people understand this, the world will be a much better place.

I honestly could not decide whether I agreed with that sentiment or not. After mulling it over for a few days I realized I would have to write a blog post to sort this all out.

SysAdvent 2011 Day 11 - Simple Disk-Based Server Backups

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:00:14 +0000

This was written by Phil Hollenback (www.hollenback.net)

I’ve helped a friend administer the network at his engineering firm for about 10 years. For most of that time, they’ve used a standard Amanda configuration with a separate backup server and a DAT drive. That setup worked well enough as long as someone remembered to swap the tape every day and occasionally run the cleaning tape.

However, this backup system suffered from a few serious limitations:

Wikis You Have Failed Me Miserably

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:14:41 +0000

And I Hate Every One Of You, Personally

by Phil Hollenback

This essay originally appeared in modified form in the SysAdvent Blog.

Hello, my name is Phil and I hate wikis. I hate them with a passion. I hate them individually. I hate them plurally. I hate every scrap of information that has ever been documented on a wiki. Most of all, I despise CamelCase.

Except, of course, the only thing I hate more than wikis is every single other documentation alternative. Thus I am trapped, as we all are, in the leaky boat of wiki-based documentation. Why do we tolerate living like this?

Crockpot Chili

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:32:55 +0000

This crockpot chili is really what got me started with slow cooker cooking. Many thanks to @cmgurski for the original recipe which I have modified.

This recipe is sized for a large (8 quart) crockpot. This is a lot of chili. On the plus side, it freezes great.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (ideally coarser chili ground)
1 lb ground turkey
1.25 cups dry black beans
1.25 cups dry great northern beans
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 large green pepper, diced
1 large whole jalapeno, minced (with seeds)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 fresh tomato, diced
1 packet safeway chili seasoning
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp cajun seasoning

Instructions

Soak beans in a large pot of water for at least 8 hours. Change the water at least 3 times, rinsing the beans each time.

Phil's Zesty Buddha's Hand Muffins

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:57:14 +0000

Shamelessly ripped off from the Bisquick recipe book, with some tweaks.

First Try

Ingredients

2 c Bisquick baking mix
2/3 c whole milk
1/2 c diced fingered citron zest
1/4 c brown sugar
2 T vegetable oil
1 egg

Steps

use vegetable peeler to remove skin (zest) from fingered citron (avoid white rind)
chop zest into tiny pieces
preheat oven to 400F
spray muffin pan with Pam (cause I’m lazy)
combine all ingredients
beat with whisk 30 seconds
give whisk to 3 year old for him to try mixing
pour mix into muffin pan, filling each cup 2/3 full
Bake about 15 minutes

Analysis

Pretty tasty but a little dry. Increase both oil and zest next time.

SysAdvent 2011 Day 14 - Write Your Resume In Markdown Already

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:45:28 +0000

This was written by Phil Hollenback (www.hollenback.net)

Like most of you, I hate dealing with my resume. That means I don’t keep it as current as I should. Over the years, I’ve kept my resume in all sorts of formats: straight text, nroff, TeX, etc. I think I might have even handcrafted a postscript resume once.

However, I got so tired of recruiters always asking for a Word version of my resume that somewhere along the way I gave up and wrote one in Word (probably OpenOffice now that I think about it). I saved that as a pdf and an html version and forgot about it. That seemed to work ok since I’ve been gainfully employed for the last decade or so.

My Think Up

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:03:15 +0000

I happened to accidentally stumble upon this social media app called ThinkUp a few months back. You run it on your own server and it ties in to accounts on facebook, twitter, and google+. Then, it sucks down your posts and starts doing a lot of analysis and trending with pretty graphs and such.

The best was to get a sense of how ThinkUp works is to go play with my instance.

The Sweet Potato Hummus Experiment

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 03:43:57 +0000

(adapted from Martha Stewart Living)

Ingredients

1 clove garlic
1 can (15oz) chickpeas
4 to 5 small sweet potatoes
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon pepper
2 small to medium lemons
2 tbsp tahini

Process

Cut sweet potatoes into 2 inch thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375F for one hour.

Let sweet potatoes cool, then peel off and discard skins. Don’t throw away the cooked ends of the slices. You should end up with about 1 and a half cups of sweet potato.

I Am The Very Model of a Modern Baby Master Chef

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 03:43:25 +0000

I’ve been making a lot of baby food lately, (not surprising, since we have a baby). As a dad, I really enjoy making baby food. It’s something concrete you can do for your baby at time when he is largely dependent on mom. It’s also a great way to make healthy food cheaply, especially if you live near a year-round farmers market like I do.

Here’s a quick overview of how I cook and package my baby food. First, assemble the ingredients. You can use pretty much any combination of flavors you want. I usually try to go a little on the sweet side. This time I made a sweet potato, spinach, and beet puree. I peel the beets to get all the dirt off them, but this is probably overkill.

SysAdvent 2011 Day 1 - Don't bash your process outputs

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:17:30 +0000

This article was written by Phil Hollenback (www.hollenback.net)

The Problem

Like most veteran bash scripters, I have a tendency to abuse shell scripting. In particular, I often fall into the trap of collecting and manipulating process output. This works fine for the simple case of one or two lines of stdout, but falls down horribly for complex cases. Pretty soon a simple

output=`some_command`

turns in to a huge conditional block where you have to check exit codes, redirect stderr in to temporary files, and generally hate yourself.

SysAdvent 2010 Day 20 - Github Gist

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:54:53 +0000

This article was written by Phil Hollenback (@philiph)

I assume everyone is familiar with the idea of a pastebin - a website for sharing text fragments with an emphasis on code fragments. Pastebins have been around since 2002, according to Wikipedia. They’re an incredibly useful resource for sharing textual data and are something we, as sysadmins, need to do on an almost continual basis. However, there are several problems with some existing pastebin implementations:

SysAdvent 2010 Day 21 - Wikis and Documentation

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:54:12 +0000

Intro

This article is part one of a two part series and is a collaboration between Brandon Burton and Philip J. Hollenback where they explore the problems with Wikis, the challenges of writing good documentation with today’s tools, improvements to Mediawiki that Brandon has implemented, and ideas for further improvements.

Part one focuses on the problems and challenges.

The problem(s) with Wikis is…

It’s a wiki! Wikis are a slightly less-worse alternative to all other documentation and publishing mechanisms. What’s the worst thing about wikis? Well…

Big City Baby

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:21:44 +0000

Some Thoughts on Having Your First Child in the City

by Phil Hollenback

Note: after reading this you mighty want to read Big City Toddler.

Introduction

My wife and I recently had our first child (a healthy and absolutely wonderful boy) while living in a one bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan. Having a baby in the city is a lot different than having a baby in the suburbs. For example, we live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment and we don’t own a car. We’ve learned a few things along the way and hopefully this article will be helpful to those of you in a similar situation. I don’t claim to be an expert so please take all of this as my best guess and not the final word on the subject.

SysAdvent 2010 Day 5 - Why Aren't You Doing Code Reviews?

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:57:00 +0000

This article was written by Phil Hollenback who is @philiph on Twitter.

I have to admit: I’m on the fence about the devops movement. However, I do think there are a lot of good ideas to be found in the ‘devops culture’. One idea I particularly like is that sysadmins should think more like developers. I might be partly attracted to that philosophy because I have a CS degree. However, I also think it’s logical because developers have spent a lot of time figuring out development workflows (duh). With the increasing automation in system administration, it’s natural that we as sysadmins should follow the same process. Whether we like it or not, we will all be writing more code in the years to come as we increase our use of automation.

Point To Point Linux

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:16:22 +0000

Last summer, the investment company I work for decided to build a disaster recovery site. This location (40 miles from New York city) would provide a mirror of our downtown Manhattan operation. We decided to utilize Linux as much as possible for this project for the following reasons:

We are primarily a Linux operation already, so we could use our existing experience.
We could customize the configuration as much as we wanted, since everything would be open-source.
We hoped Linux solutions would be less expensive than other solutions (i.e. Cisco).

In this article, I focus on our use of Linux in wan routers. I define a wan router as a system which connects to both wide-area links (e.g. T1 or T3 lines) and local-area networks (e.g. 100baseT) and forward packets between both networks.

Process Monitoring with ps-watcher

by Philip J. Hollenback

originally posted on Linux.com September 28, 2008.

You can monitor your computers in a wide variety of ways. Large proprietary applications make sense for large installations that can afford the expense of both the software and consultants who fine-tune the systems. Open source monitoring solutions like Nagios or OpenNMS cost nothing to acquire but still require planning and tweaking. When you need to address smaller problems with process data on a system, the process monitoring tool ps-watcher comes in handy.

I would tell you to go forward now, but that’s the end of the pictures! Somehow I didn’t take any at all until we got to New York.

Oh wait, there is one more.

Us Trip Phil Falls

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:33:00 +0000

South Bend, Indiana. The one time we managed to get lost on the trip was driving through this town trying to follow “Old Route 20”, when we really wanted Us 20.

Us Trip Spam Parking

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:32:06 +0000

Next after South Dakota was a brief foray through the lower corner of Minnesota. What else could we do but stop in Austin - the home of Hormel Foods? Hormel has just opened a large new Spam museum next to their headquarters.

Hormel is, of course, the maker of Spam, the potted meat we all know and love. Phil’s recipie for a spam sandwich:

Ingredients

Two slices Wonder Bread
Two slices original Spam, cut 1/4 inch think
Two slices generic cheddar cheese

Couldn’t resist the photo op at the Corn Palace.

Us Trip Corn Palace

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:27:58 +0000

Basically our trip covered as many tourist traps in the northern US as possible. After Wall Drug, we drove acroos South Dakota to the next treat: The Corn Palace!

Every year the sturdy and visionary people of Mitchell, South Dakota get together and decorate an entire building with corncobs. No coloring is used - all the shades are naturally occuring in the corn.

The current Corn Palace is actually a large auditorium which hosts concerts, basketball games, etc.

Us Trip Wall Drug Dino

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:26:33 +0000

See what I mean about Wall Drug being the template for all other tourist traps? This is the real deal, people.

Us Trip Wall Drug Kevin

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:24:02 +0000

After cruising through most of Idaho and Wyoming on back roads like US 20, we were reunited with the interstate highway system for the trip through South Dakota,Michigan, and Chicago.

Which brings us to Wall Drug, South Dakota. What more is there to say, other than it’s the roadside abomination that served as the model (nay, inspiration) for all tourist traps to follow.

Plus, their coffee and donuts are cheap and delicious. I think it’s a dollar total for both.

Us Trip Wall Drug Phil Girlfriend

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:23:32 +0000

As you may know, it gets lonely on the road…

Us Trip Thermopolis Pools Two

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:21:01 +0000

Another view of the pools and elaborate rock formations of Thermopolis.

Us Trip Thermopolis Kevin Plaque

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:00:10 +0000

And Kevin again.

Us Trip Thermopolis Mountain

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 07:36:52 +0000

Wondering where I got that bit about “world’s largest mineral hot springs” on the preceding page? Read the mountain.

That’s Kevin on the lower right.

Us Trip Thermopolis Pools

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:34:08 +0000

The first leg of our trip took us from Portland to Craters of the Moon, Wyoming. As I mentioned on the previous page, there aren’t any pictures of that.

We stayed mostly on the interstate, but once in Idaho we did veer off onto US 20. I highly recommend US 20 for anyone planning a cross-country trip across the northern US.

US 20 plus a few other scenic two-lane highways eventually took us through Thermopolis, Wyoming. Thermopolis bills itself as “the world’s largest mineral hot springs”. I’m inclined to agree.

Us Trip Scotto House

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:29:36 +0000

As I mentioned, the first leg of my trip was from Santa Cruz to Portland. Thus, you would expect some pictures from Scotto’s house right?

Well, when I got my first roll of film from the trip developed, the entire roll was completely overexposed. At first I thought I had set my camera incorrectly. That can happen, right? But, then I thought some more and although I do occassionally set my camera slightly wrong (wrong film speed, wrong shutter speed, etc.), rarely if ever do I set it so wrong that an entire roll of pictures comes out ruined.

Us Trip

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:36:34 +0000

I travelled across the United States with Kevin Higinbotham in my Toyota Camry in July of 2003. I first drove from Santa Cruz to Portland, Oregon by myself. Then I picked up Kevin at the airport and spent a couple days at Scotto’s house.

That isn’t Scotto’s place, it’s a random barn in Ohio.

Ny Office View Tower Overcast Two

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:12:11 +0000

We end this path for now with another view of my building, on a cloudy day.

That’s all for NyOffice.

Ny Office View Wtc

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:10:50 +0000

A good view of the World Trade Center site. The black building in the middle was heavily damaged when the towers fell and will eventually be demolished.

Ny Office View Airplane

Another view out of my office windows. The real mystery: why is there an airplane on top of that building? It’s not a real airplane. If you look at the scale of other things near it, the airplane is only about 75% life size.

Who did this, and why?

That pier on the right side of the frame is the South Street Heliport. Last year president Bush’s helicopter landed here and there were snipers on nearby rooftops. I wanted to observe them with my binoculars, but decided that probably wasn’t a good idea.

Ny Office Nitrogen Tanks

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 06:35:53 +0000

Some nitrogen tanks outside my office. What are these for? Oddly enough, I know the answer. They’re for pressurizing phone conduits.

I did some consulting work a couple years back in Santa Cruz for System Studies, the largest company in this business. System Studies supplies mechanisms that monitor the gas pressure in telephone conduits. Then, if there’s a pressure drop, they can even estimate where in the line it occurred. Another side-effect is the nitrogen helps keep other things like water and oxygen out.

I use a combination of mutt and emacs to read my mail. One thing that really makes this work is the XEmacs gnuserv mechanism, where you can keep XEmacs running all the time and pop up new edit windows as needed. This really makes things speedy.

Audio Cd Burning

Audio CD Copying

I was unsatisfied with the tools available to copy audio CDs under Linux, so I whipped up a few scripts of my own. The scripts are no longer available - the old FTP site is gone.

My main frustration was that the current tools allow the use of CD-TEXT data and can retrieve CD info from various online databases, but this isn’t integrated. 99% of all existing commercial audio CDs don’t include CD-TEXT data. This info can be read by newer cd players and displayed as artist and track info. I like that.

Linux SysAdmin Will Work For Food:

A Few Thoughts On Finding A Job In the New New Economy

I was laid off from a contracting job at Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto, California in October of 2002 due to the elimination of my department. I spent the next five long, depressing months looking for a tech job in Silicon Valley. Ultimately, I landed a position in my field of Linux development and system administration at a small network software company called NextHop in Mountain View, California at the end of March 2003. I learned a few things about searching for a job along the way, including how the process really works and what resources are the most effective. These are my notes. They are most relevant to people searching for work in the wasteland of Silicon Valley circa early 2003, but anyone looking for a professional career can probably get something out of this.

Configuring Linux to work with the Actisys IR210L motherboard IR module:

You may have noticed that your motherboard has an ‘IR header’. Most motherboards manufactured in the last several years come with one.

However, it’s about impossible to find the actual IR transceiver that plugs into this header - I’ve never seen a motherboard that ships with one.

Here’s the best supplier: Actisys. They will sell you the IR210L IR module for $42.

Linux Usb Two Two One Eight

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:09:45 +0000

USB and Linux

I recommend the 2.2.18 kernel (as of 1/23/00, anyway). One of the nice features of this kernel is a backport of the 2.4.0 USB code. This makes it relatively simple to configure USB devices.

Start at the linux-usb homepage
Enable USB in your BIOS. This is usually under ‘assign interrupt to USB’
When rebuilding your kernel, make sure to enable USB. Go ahead and compile all the USB drivers as modules.

Make Bootable Cds

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:09:27 +0000

Create Bootable CDs Under Linux

Software Needed

cdrtools-cdrecord
cdrtools-mkisofs
dd

Steps

Make a bootable floppy. For example, format a floppy with system files on a DOS system. You could create a single-disk linux floppy, too (maybe muLinux).
Put that floppy in the drive on your linux system and turn it into an image file.

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img bs=18k

Create a directory to hold your cd filesystem. Put your floppy image in that directory.

mkdir /tmp/cdimage
cp floppy.img /tmp/cdimage

Place any other files you want on the CD in that directory too.
Turn the directory in to an iso9660 filesystem image

mkisofs -J -r -b floppy.img /tmp/cdimage -o /tmp/cdimage.iso

Burn a CD containing the new image

cdrecord -v /tmp/cdimage.iso -d 0,0,0

Discussion

Bootable CDs are an ugly hack. What really happens is that the BIOS makes a file on the CD look like a floppy disk and causes the system to boot from that floppy. After the system boots, the floppy gets magically removed and you go back to having just a CD-ROM drive. Thus, you have to go through contortions to create that floppy, and you are limited to 1.44MB of data (actually you can probably do 2.88MB too, if you can find a 2.88 drive to create the initial image).

Multicast Ntp

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:08:57 +0000

Once you have MulticastRoutes set up, you can configure network time synchronization (via the Network Time Protocol, NTP) to use multicast. Theoretically this could significantly reduce the load on your time server. Also, it generalizes the configuration of your clients, since they no longer have to be pointed at a specific time server.

I have only been able to make this work totally correctly with ntp v4.0.99k and later.

Add a ‘broadcast’ entry to /etc/ntp.conf on the ntp server(s):

broadcast 224.0.1.1	# broadcast to the multicast address.

Remove all ‘server’ entries from /etc/ntp.conf on client systems.
Add a multicast client entry to /etc/ntp.conf on each client:

multicastclient		# listen on the reserved ntp multicast address of 224.0.1.1

Optional: The unix ntp client will refuse to start up if the system clock is more than 1 hour off the server clock. If you know the server is always right, you can add a call to ’ntpdate’ before ntpd starts. This happens automatically under RedHat if the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers exists and contains a list of servers. If you place only the address ‘224.0.0.1’ in this file, ntpdate will set the system clock to the time that is being multicasted. I don’t know why, but this address has to be 224.0.0.1, not 224.0.1.1.

Multicast Routes

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:08:35 +0000

The theory behind multicast is that instead of having each client in a network request the same info from a server, the server can broadcast the data all at once to a select group of listeners. Individual clients can choose to receive the information being multicasted by joining the multicast group. This is not a broadcast because all systems on the network are not automatically involved.

If your networking hardware, software, and protocols support it, multicast provides an efficient way to distribute many types of information, such as time synchronization (see MulticastNtp).

Off Board Ide Interface

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:07:39 +0000

Installing Linux on Offfboard IDE Interfaces

Certain motherboards (notably from Abit) come with multiple IDE interfaces. Typically the standard slow IDE controller is the default one (onboard), and a fast UDMA-66 or 100 controller acts like a separate additional (offboard) controller. It is possible to install Linux directly on a drive connected to the fast bus, but the default configuration will be unbootable. Basically you need to feed LILO the correct addresses for the fast controller so it knows how to find it.

San Disk Cf Reader

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:06:34 +0000

How to configure a SanDisk USB CompactFlash card reader under Linux

This reader is very handy if you happen to have a digital camera that users compact flash cards. Instead of using the slow serial connection, you can just pop the CF card in to your reader and grab all the pictures at once.

The reader is accessed as a SCSI disk, via the SCSI emulation layer.

Make sure you have scsi emulation enabled in your kernel. You need some /etc/modules.conf entries like this to make everything work automatically:

    options ide-cd ignore='hdc hde'
    alias scd0 sr_mod
    alias scd1 sr_mod
    pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi
    pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
    pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
    post-install scsi_mod modprobe ide-scsi

Connect device to USB port, check /var/log/messages for indication that it was found and initialized.

Wake On Lan

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:05:57 +0000

Remote System Power-up with Wake On Lan (WoL)

I decided to test out WoL today, and I got it working with linux and openbsd.

WoL is a standard mechanism for remotely powering on systems - if a compatible network card hears a magic packet, it turns on the system power. The magic packet is the card’s mac address repeated 6 times.

You need three things to make it work: a compatible motherboard, a compatilbe network card, and a little cable to connect the two. Basically the card uses the cable to press the motherboards power button.

Lm Sensors Super Micro

I just had to configure lm_sensors under linux on the SuperMicro model 6010H 1U server (motherboard model 370DER). I found to my surprise that no one has ever published the lm_sensors configuration for this system. So, here you go. This config is for lm_sensors 2.8.7 on the 2.4 kernel.

First of all, I asked SuperMicro for some info, and this was their response:

Motherboard:370DE6/P3TDE6/370DER

NOTE:
For all temperature reading, it is a signed char. For
instance, 0x56 = 86*C. No converter is needed.

For Fan speed, you need read register 0x47 and
extract the divisors for Fan1 and Fan2.
The algorithm is

    RPM = 1350000 / Count / Divisor

Where Count is the reading from register.

For Voltage, you need to refer to the table in section 4.0 ANALOG INPUTS
in LM87 document.  For example, if the reading value from register 0x24
is
0xB8.  Then you may convert this voltage
 0xB8 * 62.5mv ` 184 * 62.5mv ` 11.5v

which gives some general guidance, but doesn’t answer the question of what your /etc/sensors.conf should look like or what modules you need to load.

Web Calendar Postgresql

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:03:28 +0000

The WebCalendar System Administration Guide does not adequately explain how to set up WebCalendar to use the Postgresql database. Here’s some further info.

This is on Fedora Core 1 linux with Postgresql 7.3.4 and WebCalendar 0.9.45.

I assume you have the postgresql rpms installed. Firs, run the following (as root) to start postgres and enable it on boot:

# /sbin/chkconfig postgresql on
# /etc/init.d/postgresql start

Now su to the postgres user to edit a few configuration files and load up the database tables. Generally you need to perform database maintenance tasks as user postgres.

Lm Sensors Config Notes

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:02:19 +0000

lm_sensors is the collection of Linux drivers and tools that allow you to monitor the various temperature, fan, and voltage sensors on most modern PC motherboards.

Unfortunately, sensor monitoring can be extremely difficult to set up. Thus. I hope you find my notes useful.

Linux Server Monitoring with IPMI

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:01:55 +0000

by Philip J. Hollenback
(originally published in March 2005 issue of SysAdmin Magazine)

If you have expensive computer systems running in your data center, you want to make sure they keep running smoothly. Server vendors have addressed this by adding system monitoring devices to motherboards to report on temperatures, fan speeds, and voltages.

The standard way to monitor these parameters has traditionally been with tools such as lm_sensors on systems running Linux. However, this mechanism is far from perfect. For starters, it can be incredibly difficult to configure lm_sensors correctly because of poor documentation. Vendors often supply monitoring software that works perfectly and requires no tweaking, but that only runs on one motherboard and under Windows. Then, there’s no guarantee that the temperature probes or fan sensors are properly calibrated. Also, it would be nice if you could reach out and reboot a hung system over the network without the use of additional equipment.

Scripting with dmidecode

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:01:20 +0000

(Originally published Thursday December 23, 2004 on Newsforge)

By: Philip J. Hollenback

The recent Newsforge article about dmidecode got me thinking: what other practical applications are there for dmidecode? As that article points out, there isn’t a lot of software out there that makes real use of the dmidecode data. Let’s see if we can change that.

I work as a Linux System Administrator, overseeing the usual motley collection of systems in my company’s server room. Recently my boss gave me an assignment: find a way to determine if a system is running a kernel that matches the number of CPUs. In other words, if a system has one CPU installed, it should be running a uniprocessor kernel. If a system has more than one CPU installed, it should be running an SMP kernel. This is an issue for us because we clone new servers off existing servers. Thus if I forget to manually adjust a system after cloning it, I can end up running an SMP kernel on a UP system.

Linux On Fujitsu N 3010

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:01:02 +0000

Notes on running Linux on the Fujitsu N3010 Lifebook Laptop

This is a high-end “desktop replacement” model that Fujitsu just released. 2.8ghz Intel P4, 80MB hard drive, ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, firewire - basically everything you could ask for in a hot, heavy (8+ pounds), noisy (fan runs all the time) laptop. All joking aside, this is a nice system if you plan on leaving it on your desk most of the time, as most laptop users do. Plus the huge, incredibly bright 14" screen, built-in DVD burner, and firewire mean a lot of options for movie watching and editing. I installed Fedora Core 1 on this system and found that all systems worked out of the box… except the modem and wifi. Actually, I don’t have any firewire or bluetooth devices, so I can only assume they work because all the proper kernel modules seem to be loaded.

Interview Questions

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:00:42 +0000

I thought it might be useful to collect some of the questions I or my friends have been asked over the years. I’ve had a number of jobs in the computer industry with the side effect that I’ve been to a lot of interviews. Obviously these are all centered around Linux System Administration since that’s my profession.

So to dive right in, here are some questions I remember:

Name the three packets exchanged in the setup of a TCP connection. Followup: name the three packets exchanged when a client closes a TCP connection.

Answer: SYN, SYN/ACK, SYN Followup: FIN, ACK, FIN, ACK

Custom scripting gives users a safe-du

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:58:07 +0000

originally posted on Linux.com December 7, 2005.

As a system administrator, there are two ways you can interact with users: force them to follow the rules or encourage them with tools and guidelines. I prefer the second approach, as I think people generally want to do the right thing. Also, if people don’t follow the rules at your company, that is a management problem, not a computer problem. Therefore, I prefer to concentrate my attention on helpful tools and scripts, which is exactly what I did recently to solve a typical system administrator problem.

Perl Code Cleanup

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:56:26 +0000

A couple of small items got me thinking enough this week that I decided they would make a good blog post. Disclaimer: I am a terrible hack of a perl programmer. I write horrible sysadmin scripts in perl. At the same time I love the language and am always striving to learn more. One thing I love about my code review fetish is it gives me a lot of opportunities to learn from others.

Metrics as a Weapon?

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:56:00 +0000

Here’s something I’ve learned from attending lots of meetings in a large company: you can always shut things down by requesting more information.

This isn’t unique to large companies, it’s just more obvious in that setting. Say you are in a meeting where someone is outlining a great way to change a process. If you don’t like the idea, just say, “Sounds interesting! Can you supply more metrics?” The presenter has no choice but to retire from the field, mumbling about how they will come back next week with a more detailed analysis of the current situation and how it could be improved.

Thinking about Mentoring and Documentation

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:55:37 +0000

Mentoring is something I think about a lot these days. Particularly in my professional career I find that I am much more interested in sharing knowledge than in jumping on the next exciting bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, I love working with new technology and solving new problems. I think the issue is more that solving the same problem over and over again gets boring. Naturally, you end up dealing with a lot of repetition in a technical career (I’m a computer system administrator).

E*TRADE San Francisco CAN KISS MY ASS

Max is 3 so he likes to run around a lot. There’s a ramp around the E*TRADE building on Market and Sutter, which is an irresistible attraction to a free spirt such as my son:

He ran all the way around the circular building, just out of my sight. I knew it was a dead end so I let him get ahead of me:

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:52:05 +0000

My Experiences Trying to Make a Gas-Powered R/C Car Run

I’ve come in to possesion of a Silver Fox gas-powered r/c dune buggy. It was manufactured by Varicom, circa 1987.

I’ve done some work cleaning and adjusting it, but at this point I have been unable to make it run. Lack of an operating manual is a major problem.

I will have some pics and descriptions up here shortly describing what I have done so far and what isn’t working. Hopefully someone can give me some feedback so I can get this thing running. If nothing else, this is interesting from a historical perspective.

Here are the contents of the CD if you are curious.

Using a standard Unix tool for remote interaction

by Phil Hollenback

(originally published on Linux.com)

Recently I needed to do some distance education: one of my coworkers wanted me to show him how to do some software builds on Linux. The only problem was that I’m on the east coast and he is on the west coast. How could I show him the build and install process? I could just do the work and use the standard Unix utility script(1) to save a log of my typing. This has several problems, not the least of which is the horrible resulting output (script saves everything, including carriage returns and corrections). In addition, this would be completely non-interactive. If my coworker had a question or needed a clarification we would have to correspond via email afterward. That would be a frustrating experience for both of us.

Total Choice Mail Problem

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:40:36 +0000

I finally solved a mail problem that has been bugging me for several years, so it seemed a good idea to write it up.

I have never been able to send mail from my server (fugazi.hollenback.net) to any domain hosted by totalchoicehosting.com. This has always been a problem because my good friend Scotto hosts a number of domains there, including his own (empireindustry.com). To send mail to Scotto, I am forced to send to a junk hotmail account he checks very infrequently.

Vi

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:38:11 +0000

I switched from vi to XEmacs as my primary editor years ago. However, I still find myself using vim all the time, for many reasons. The biggest is probably that it’s much quicker to start up than emacs. Also, you can always depend on having some sort of vi on a system, while emacs is still sort of optional.

Thus, here’s my my .vimrc.

Ken Bowen once had a bunch of good vi info on his site, but it has disappeared. Probably because Ken used to be a vi user, but I’ve got him switched to emacs now too.

Ten Photography Tips

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:18:43 +0000

I’m talking about a few things you can do right now to make everyone think you are a good photographer. These are not complicated procedures and if you follow them I guarantee your stature as a photographer will improve immediately. I realize everyone is going to take pictures of other people, so these tips are geared towards that.

X Mailer

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:13:41 +0000

One day a few years back, I wondered what mailers people were using to send me messages. So, I wrote some perl scripts to process my incoming mail and attempt to find out.

I ran these scripts for several years on my server. However, I’ve now switched to hosted web space and mail (may I recommend fastmail.fm?). Thus, I can’t run my scripts any more.

Still, I will leave the scripts up on my web site in case anyone else wants them. The scripts do show how to use tied databases in perl, so they might make a useful learning tool.

Sound Blaster Live! Audio

I’ve spent some time trying to get this card to work well under Linux. Basic audio is no problem, but some things (like SPDIF digital out) require a bit of tweaking. Here’s what I found:

You can use the driver from ALSA or from Creative. However, I was never able to get CD audio in to work with the ALSA drivers.

To get 4-channel digital out working, you have to play with the sblive settings. See my example modules.conf entries below.

Rnc Text Messages

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:09:35 +0000

The Republican National Convention is going on right now in New York City (September 1 2004). I live in the middle of New York so I pay attention to what’s going on. One interesting service I ran across is a text-message distribution website called upoc.com. Once you sign up for a group on the upoc website, messages sent by anyone in the group show up on everyone else’s phone. I joined a group called “Ruckus RNC” that protesters used to communicate, and on Tuesday night I spent the evening skateboarding around NYC and checking out protests. All the while, I was receiving updates on my phone about what was going on.

Pump Dns Search

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:08:39 +0000

Linux pump DHCP client and dns search order

One problem with the redhat dhcp client pump is that it doesn’t deal with resolv.conf search entries. It takes whatever domain name the dhcp server assigns and uses that as a search entry, removing any entries you may have created manually. You can override this via an /etc/pump.conf directive, but you can only provide one fixed alternative search order. Thus, if you move a system between networks, sometimes you will get the wrong entries in your dns search path. That’s no good.

Prostitution Flyer

To quote Sifl and Olly:

Who does the prostitute’s laundry?

I don’t have an answer for that one, but evidently the prostitute does have a landlord:

That’s a flyer I found stuffed under the front door of my apartment building last week. Huh.

Aging PowerBook Upgrade by a Linux/OS X Geek

originally published on MacDevCenter.com on 06/07/2006.

Editor’s note: Many Mac users railed against chromatic’s recent article, Switching Back to Desktop Linux. When Philip Hollenback, a Linux fan himself, needed to upgrade his aging PB 667 from Panther to Tiger, he used an approach that kept costs down and value high, while preserving his Linux/OS X frame of mind. Here’s how he did it.

I’ve been using a PowerBook as my primary system for about two years, and I’ve found the experience very enjoyable. As a longtime Linux user, I’m continually impressed with the power and ease of use of Mac OS X. I get the best of both worlds: my familiar Linux command-line tools and a beautiful GUI environment.

Subject: visor notes

Hey, here’s a few things I’ve been thinking about/playing with the last few days:

www.palmgear.com is a good place for downloads and reviews.

I’ve been experimenting with hacks (OS modifications). You have to run a hack manager and then install the various individual hacks. The hack manager I’ve been using is X-Master. Hacks I’ve been experimenting with:

Cantenna Experiment

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:28:43 +0000

JJ Furman and I performed some experiments with antennas for 802.11b networking in April of 2003. This was part of JJ’s continuing attempts to keep me busy while I was unemployed. All I can say to that is thanks, JJ! These experiments really helped keep my spirits up.

Unlike the LifterExperiment, this experiment was kind of inconclusive. We didn’t really get good quantitative results for how much the cantenna improved signal strength. However, we did show that it’s easy to build one of these devices, and they do improve the range of your wireless networking.

Direct Rendering Interface: Make Your Graphics Super Fast

DRI is the mechanism in XFree86 4 for allowing direct access to the video hardware. This is important for things like 3D graphics. Without DRI, those fancy xscreensaver OpenGL modes are jerky and slow. With DRI, 3D graphics are silky smooth.

DRI is also important for things like video in.

Anyway, you have to tweak your XFree86 config to make it work:

Normalize Mp Three Volumes

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:25:55 +0000

This is cool… Don’t you hate it when you are listening to your mp3 collection and the volume levels are all different?

I’ve been using the tool normalize for quite a while to adjust wav file volume levels when burning cds - works great.

Well I just discovered the latest version of normalize works on mp3s too. And the way it works is cool - it computes a dB adjustment for the file, but instead of decoding and reencoding the file to apply it (which would degrade the audio), it writes the adjustment into a special standard id3v2 Relative Volume Adjustment tag.

Quick Dictionary Searches

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:25:25 +0000

Mozilla Keywords are a great way to add little shortcuts to your web browser. Basically you assign a keyword to a bookmark and then typing that keyword in the location bar jumps to the bookmark. Here’s one I just figured out that I use a lot. After you set this up, just type dict someword in google and you will go right to the dict.org definition for the word.

Add a new bookmark under Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks.
Give it the name dict.org search.
Use the following location: http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict1&Database=%2A&Strategy=%2A&Query=%s
Pick a short keyword (I suggest dict).
Then save the new bookmark!

This trick works for any site where you can substitutes the %s into a URL to retrieve some sort of info.

Named Pipes In Bash

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:23:19 +0000

Here’s something that somebody just recently told me. This is a useful and completely non-obvious tip, so I’m documenting it here in hopes that others will find it useful.

My specific problem was that I wanted to diff the output of two processes. You can’t do this with normal shell reidrection, the best you can do is:

send the output of one process to a tempfile
diff the tempfile and the output of the second process, i.e.:

# /sbin/lsmod >/tmp/lsmod.tmp
# ssh sys1 /sbin/lsmod | diff /tmp/lsmod.tmp -

that works, but it requires a temporary file.

Custom Mail Cap

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:22:57 +0000

Configuring Your .mailcap for Netscape and other programs

Overview: many programs on a typical unix system use the .mailcap mechanism to determine what helper program to invoke for a particular file. For example, when netscape attempts to open a PDF file, it consults your mailcap file (/etc/mailcap first, then ~/.mailcap) to find a pdf viewer to launch. This would typically be xpdf.

A problem occurs if you really try to get fancy with your .mailcap and use it with a lot of programs. You will find that conflicts arise between programs, particularly with netscape. Fox example, it is convenient to have a mailcap entry which attempts to decode files of type application/octet-stream via a helper program. Netscape will choke on this.

Pith Helmet is an ad-blocking extension for the Safari web browser on Mac OS X. Nutr.itio.us is an alternative bookmark posting interface for del.icio.us. Nutritious adds some useful features to the standard delicious bookmark posting mechanism and I recommend you try it out.

The default rules in Pith Helmet partially block nutritious. First, when you create your custom nutritious posting bookmarklet, you won’t see the javascript that you are supposed to paste into your bookmarklet. Second, you can use nutritious to post bookmarks to delicious, but clicking on some of the expanded nutritious features in the bookmark popup (like show popular tags) doesn’t work.

Everyone’s talking about RSS feeds these days, but sometimes it’s unclear how you can use RSS to do anything useful. I’ve been experimenting with RSS for quite some time, and I’ve discovered an interesting combination of tools that let you become productive with RSS.

A Quick RSS primer

RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, depending on who you ask, is nothing more than a standardized way to poll Web sites for data. You give an application called a newsreader or an aggregator a list of RSS feeds for various Web sites. The newsreader contacts each Web site on a regular basis and downloads a feed. If any new items show up, the newsreader displays them. Thus instead of having to go to each Web site you are interested in to see what has changed, the newsreader collects all the changes in one place. This makes keeping up with what’s changing on your favorite Web sites much easier.

Say No to mkdir -p

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:16:29 +0000

I spend most of my time these days working on large software releases incorporating thousands of separate packages. Thus I have had an opportunity to become an expert on the use and abuse of install scripts. This last week Iwas bitten by a particular problem which I’ve seen before and I though was worthy of a blog posting. That problem is the use of mkdir -p in install scripts.

mkdir -p seems like a great idea in package install scripts at first glance. Packages usually have to create directories as part of their install process, and using the -p switch ensures that all intermediary directories are created too. “Problem solved!” says the naive package creator.

Mac Address Book Skype Out

I’ve been using Skype on my Mac lately to make voice calls to other Skype users. That works so well that I just purchased SkypeOut, which allows me to call directly from Skype to any US phone number for the flat rate of USD $30/yr. Seems to work pretty well.

Skype comes with a plugin that allows you to dial phone numbers from your Mac address book, but it is broken. For example, it will only dial numbers that don’t have spaces or dashes in them.

A killer app: PDF Editor

Here’s a common situation in the business world: someone sends you (a Linux user) a contract to fill out and return. If you’re lucky, it’s a Microsoft Word document that you can open in OpenOffice.org. Often times it’s a PDF. But how can you edit a PDF in Linux?

To be quite honest, things can get tricky. If the document was created with proper form fields, you can add text to the document with the free Adobe Acrobat and print it. However, you can’t save your changes. Also, this only works in the official Acrobat program - Xpdf doesn’t support PDF forms. Unfortunately Acrobat Professional ($449) is only available for Windows and Mac so that doesn’t help the loyal Linux user.

Convert a Windows system to dual-boot Linux on a second drive

I was recently assigned the task of converting a system running Windows XP to dual-boot Windows and Linux.

The one overriding requirement was to change the existing Windows setup as little as possible. In this case, that meant adding a second hard drive. Easy enough, right? Well, not so fast.

Redundant Routers with Linux and Keepalived

A router is typically a single point of failure. If all your clients connect to the Internet through one router, any failure of that system will result in the loss of all Internet connectivity. There are various solutions to this problem, but one of the easiest to set up is Keepalived, a daemon that uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to allow two or more redundant routers to present a virtual router IP address to the systems on your network.

Rendering Everything as Text

You can display any computer data as text. For many types of data, this is obvious: we’ve all seen HTML converted to text right in our web browsers. However, this idea can extend much further. Although the notion of converting all data to text may not sound immediately useful, it can be surprisingly powerful. Why wait for graphical web browsers or image editors to load before you find out what’s in a file? With a few helper applications and scripts, you can quickly display textual information about any type of data.

Firefox as a Desktop Environment

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:07:25 +0000

by Philip J. Hollenback

I recently upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu Linux version 6.10. One updated application that came as a part of that was Firefox version 2. Since I last updated Firefox about a year ago I figured now was a good time to take a fresh look at the current state of Firefox and its associated extensions and enhancements.

For quite a while I’ve been using a standard set of extensions, including Adblock Plus and SessionSaver. I assumed that as a power user I had a pretty good idea of how to customize my browser. Once I started looking I discovered that an explosion of new extensions had occurred while I wasn’t paying attention. In addition, some features formerly only available as extensions (such as spell checking) are now integrated into Firefox. As I browsed a fairly definitive list it dawned on me that many of these represented an entirely different class of extensions. While most of the older extensions I had been using were focused on modifying the browsing experience, many new extensions were something different, something like desktop enhancements or even desktop program replacements. Furthermore, I realized it might now be realistic to operate your entire desktop experience inside the browser, using a combination of extensions and web-based applications.

Usenix 2005 Report

USENIX focuses on the Unix world, including unix-like OSes like Linux. The USENIX conference is the place to go if you want to find out about topics such as advanced system administration or the latest filesystem research projects. USENIX is a blend of academic presentations and socialization. If you want to ask Andy Tanenbaum what he thinks of Linux, you can do it at USENIX.

You can see that the first lifter seems to me a bit more active than the second one. We attribute this to weight - I was a bit heavy with the superglue on the second lifter.

Also, we discovered that scraping the enamel coating off the positive wire was critical for electron flow. Before we performed this on the second lifter, it wouldn’t even move off the table.

We found that elevating the power leads reduced their weight on the lifter and improved performance.

And the second lifter design:

The wire with the yellow cap on it is our discharge wire. After each test run, we cross this between the positive and negative supply lines to ensure all charge is drained. There are several large resistors in this line to slow the flow of current and prevent arcing and circuit damage during the discharge operation.

You are all using GNU Parallel, right? It’s an awesome replacement for xargs, bash loops, all sorts of low-level unix command line stuff. Parallel provides a clean way to execute many jobs in parallel on the command line to take advantage of our modern multicore cpus inside command pipelines.

One thing I particularly love about parallel is it provides a much cleaner and simpler quoting facility than find -exec or xargs.

The vehicles and net-integrated display stuff was pretty cool. Also the ’thermo-optic’ camoflage was a nice twist.

Improving Network Reliability with Keepalived

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:49:19 +0000

by Philip Hollenback

originally published on LinuxDevCenter.

Redundancy is one of the key ways you can increase the reliability of your network. As the concept of RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) has shown, it can be much more cost effective to group a number of inexpensive components together than to spend much more money on one high-priced item. You can apply the same idea to your network: instead of investing in one very expensive proprietary router, why not install several redundant Linux routers made out of commodity parts and free software? This article shows how easy it is to do just that with Keepalived on Linux.

Jeff Hard Drive Observations

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:48:57 +0000

(posting on Jeff’s behalf)

Nerd Blog!

Oldest story in the book, I think. I believe a flaky power supply is the source of all my server woes, making me BELIEVE I had problems with hard drives and motherboards (and even my linksys wrt-54GS!).

Backstory

I originally thought the trouble was an ‘incompatible’ samsung hard drive, so I replaced it with a Maxtor (eww). Then I had trouble with the network card too (that was what happened with your rsync that night, phil, it wedged my network driver - happened again later), so I got a new motherboard. Both problems were always under heavy disk/net load, respectively. So the new mobo and drive made the problems all go away. I did try to get the samsung to work with the new motherboard, to no avail.

Impossible Email Dates

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:47:39 +0000

This would probably be a good question for a sysadmin job interview.

Yes, and I will explain why (you may regret asking).  Computer time
has to start at some arbitrary date and count forward from that.  In
the unix world (the computers behind the scenes that handle most
email) that date is 12:00AM January 1 1970 UTC:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

the date on all unix machines is stored as the number of seconds since
the start of time (called the epoch).  So for example that number
right now as I write is 1,232,064,272 seconds.  That makes it easy to
compare dates since you can just add and subtract seconds without
worrying about minutes, hours, etc.  Obviously you convert to human-
readable time formats to actually display the time.

So anyway the earliest time that can be represented on a unix computer
is as I said 12:00AM January 1 1970 UTC.  UTC used to be called
Greenwich Mean Time and it's the time at longitude 0" running through
the observatory in Greenwich, England. UTC/GMT is 8 hours ahead of
Pacific standard time.

So a bogus message got generated somehow and sent to you (could just
be some random corruption in your inbox).  The computers along the way
didn't have a time to go along with the message so they assigned a
value of 0.  That's 0 seconds since the epoch and remember that UTC is
8 hrs ahead of PST.  Thus the date was ultimately shown to you as
4:00pm December 31 1969, 8 hours behind UTC because you are in PST.

Now to take this a step further, traditional unix time is stored in a
signed 32-bit integer.  That means the largest time that can be
represented is 12:00AM UTC 1970 + 2,147,483,647 seconds, which is
3:14:07AM UTC on January 19 2038.  That's sort of the next step after
the y2k problem.  Hopefully by then we will have converted all
computers to use 64-bit time, which pushes the largest possible day
millions of years in the future.  However there will probably be at
least a few old computers running then which will fail:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

So I am planning on having a party on January 18, 2038 to celebrate
the end of time.  I'll be 66 then.  I hope you will be able to attend.

Imap Tunneling Over Ssh

Secure IMAP over SSH Tunnels

I finally figured out how to securely run imap - do it over ssh.

Here’s a good reference: unixreview article The trick is that the mail client runs some other program to tunnel to the imap server and run imapd there. When the imap server runs locally like that, it realizes that you are already an authenticated user, and doesn’t ask you to log in again.

The concept of del.icio.us is simple: every time you come across an interesting site, use a bookmarklet to type in a few keywords about the page, and save it to del.icio.us Web site. All saved bookmarks are public and everything is available through RSS feeds. Like any useful tool, del.icio.us has attracted a number of extensions and improvements as people figure out new ways to use it. Here are a few of those tips, tricks, and tools for del.icio.us that I have found particularly useful.

The Emacs Modeline

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:42:22 +0000

The modeline is the descriptive line at the bottom of your emacs window (right above the minibuffer, to be precise). It provides the basic information like what file you are working on, what mode you are in and so on.

I decided to modify my modeline to solve a particular problem: I needed to know what host I was running on. The reason I need to do this is I now run gnu screen on my local laptop, and inside one of the screen windows, I run another remote screen on my work computer.

Dealing with the Dovecot X-UID Problem

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:41:26 +0000

How I got bit by the dovecot X-UID bug and how I solved it.

Versions of the dovecot IMAP server prior to .99.15 contained a bug which would cause the insertion of too-large X-UID headers in mbox-format mail spool files. This causes Thunderbird to choke with a message like “The mail server responded: Invalid messageset: -2147483648”. In a normal mail spool file the first delivered message should have an X-UID header value of 1, and for each message the X-UID header is incremented by one. If you examine the spool file manually in this case you will see X-UID values like 4270588972, which would not be possible unless a user had received more than four billion messages!

Timestamp calculations in Emacs with org-mode

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:41:06 +0000

Today I had to do some profiling of how long each phase of a software install took. The tool I was using printed output like this:

11:40:58.096  	95  	exit 0
11:40:58.272 	96 	current version: 5.296
11:40:58.274 	97 	Password:
11:41:15.215 	98 	Password:
11:41:15.561 	99 	Connection to server closed.

The format is timestamp, line number, output.

First I wanted an easy way to calculate the offset between two timestamps. I had been reading the emacs calc manual and I noticed that calc supported hour-minute-second calculations. Thus, my first project was to figure out how to get calc-mode to actually work with time offsets. Here’s the process I eventually figured out (<esc> means press the esc key):

Dir Colors

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:36:47 +0000

The default colors for GNU ls don’t work very well against dark backgrounds that aren’t completely black. I tend to use transparent terminal windows (because I’m cool), and my backgrounds are often dark blue or green.

Here’s a copy of my DIR_COLORS file that tweaks the colors to make them more readable on a range of backgrounds. Note that these colors assume a relatively dark background. Drop it in /etc and you are all set.

To Package or Not to Package

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:36:29 +0000

I was one of the panel members at Devopsdays 2011 in Mountain View. The panel I was part of was called To Package or Not to Package, and we discussed the pros and cons of various ways to manage software on servers.

Here’s the video for the presentation:

Devopsdays Mountain View was a lot of fun and tremendously educational. Thanks to all the organizers and sponsors for making it happen.

Deny Hosts Went Bad

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:36:04 +0000

A few months back a friend called me about a weird problem on the linux server that runs his small company. The symptoms were that incoming ssh and http connections were hanging indefinitely. This was pretty odd, as the machine had been working just fine for several years.

I tried logging in remotely, and observed the same behavior - my ssh connection was accepted, but then just hung. Logging in with ‘ssh -v’ was no more helpful.

Created With X Emacs

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:35:45 +0000

Just a little plug for the world’s best editor, XEmacs.

Of course, I don’t create the wiki with xemacs, but I do use it for all static content on my site.

Maybe you would like to come to the front door?

Collection Of Scripts

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:35:28 +0000

Mutt helper tools

I’ve developed/modified/copied a number of small helper scripts for mutt over the years. These scripts help with things like converting weird mime attachments and converting html mail to text.

I’ve tried to structure all my filter scripts to use either w3m or lynx for html-to-text conversion. I recommend w3m as it does a better job, but you have to compile and install it yourself. Here’s my scripts along with a few from other people, as noted:

Bash Completion Bell

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:31:13 +0000

Stop all that bash beeping

You have to use the bash shell, since it’s available everywhere.

Unfortunately the constant beeping when you hit tab to complete a filename on the command line is tedious.

To turn that off, add the following to /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc:

set show-all-if-ambiguous on

and bash will just display the possible completions instead of beeping at you.

Your office companions will probably like this.

PEOPLE OF EARTH: IT IS TIME FOR US TO GATHER IN A COMMON CAUSE

Too long have we let our divisions define us. Sysadmins. Windows Admins. Developers. Programmers. DevOps. NoOps. MySQL. NoSQL.

THIS MUST END

We must gather together for in unity there is strength. Our banner shall be BroOps.

WHAT IS BroOps? It is a common cause. It is a spirit of broship. It is bros and computers. We are all in this TOGETHER.

Aquamacs Default Fonts

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:29:32 +0000

Aquamacs Emacs is a version of Emacs for Mac OS X. I happen to think it is the best Emacs for that platform.

One thing that has befuddled me is the font handling. The default Aquamacs font is a proportional font. The problem is that this is really annoying for text editing because columns don’t line up. Also, if different modes are set to use different fonts then you see an annoying screen pause for redraw when you flip between buffers. Thus I think the best plan is to use one single font for all modes.

Allow Gnutella Traffic

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:28:58 +0000

(wow this page is some ancient history)

Most internet file sharing these days is done on the Gnutella network. For example, clients such as LimeWire, Morpheus, and Kazaa all operate on this network.

Gnutella is designed to work even if you are behind a firewall, by utilizing HTTP. However, for the best Gnutella performance, you should modify your firewall to allow traffic through on native GnutellaNet (port 6346) instead. This will significantly increase the number of results returned for your searches.

Ax Men

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:27:08 +0000

There’s one of those giant junkyard/house supply places in Missoula, MT called The Axmen. You know, one of those huge run-down businesses where you can buy everything from a wood stove to as much irrigation pipe as you could ever want. Or, maybe you need a gun?

I happen to have a 1996 Missoula phone book, and I was thumbing through it one day when I decided to see what the last entry was. Just for fun, that’s the kind of exciting life I lead.

Indian Larry Open House

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:24:26 +0000

Famous motorcycle customizer Indian Larry died while performing a stunt on August 30, 2004. Here’s something I wrote about the Open House he had at his shop in May of that same year.

Day One

California crew arrived JFK airport 2:30pm. Thought about going out to meet them, but decided against due to fear of airplanes. Instead, sent instructions to take subway in to midtown Manhattan.

Wrist Mac

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:44:45 +0000

Scotto passed along a few pics of this fun little item he owns. I couldn’t find much info about it on the web, so I knew my website collection of oddities would be a perfect place to display these.

From what I can gather, this is a data organizer wristwatch from about 1992. It’s not a real Mac computer or anything, the name apparently comes from its ability to share data with a Macintosh.

Music Blogs

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:44:18 +0000

I find a lot of great indie pop / rock music on the following blogs. However, I never seem to have time to check them these days. Thus, I figured I would at least document them here. That way I can remove them from my bloglines feeds and not feel guilty.

Sixeyes

Sixeyes tends more towards indie rock. Generally you can find a lot of good songs to download and try here (usually lower-quality mp3s). The site tends to be very chaotic and disorganized but if you spend some time wading through it you will find some real gems.

Synchronize Mutt With Squirrelmail

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:40:26 +0000

I run mutt as my primary mail reader, but I also use the webmail frontend SquirrelMail from time to time. It’s nice to have both, because sometimes you want to check your mail on a random computer, and you don’t want to install an ssh client to get a login to your system. With SquirrelMail, you can just go through the browser and chuckle at everyone stuck with hotmail and small mailboxes! Of course, you then need to maintain your own mail server…

I Just Make This Up As I Go

I have a side job doing IT work for a small company in San Francisco. Mainly I just help keep a small Mac network running, install software updates, that sort of thing. No big deal. I like the work because it allows me to keep marginally current in a job I used to do for many, many years.

This last time the owner of the company called me, she asked me to come by and connect a new windows machine to the network. She explained that they had purchased an automated cutting table which came with an attached control PC, and she wanted to transfer pattern files directly to it.

When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth

I’m a crusty old sysadmin. Heck, I’ve got the neckbeard to prove it:

My day job is managing a group that manages the software on 12,000 freebsd servers. I eat, sleep, and breathe system administration. If I wasn’t doing this for pay I’d still be doing it for fun.

However, the world of traditional system administration is dying. I know that statement pisses some of you off to no end. Heck, it pisses me off too. I want to spend all my time with my precious servers. I want to get around to finally fixing my ntp configuration once and for all. I want to get ipmi configured on all my machines.

The Problem

Say you’re a people manager. That means you are doing weekly 1-1 meetings with each of your employees, right? If you aren’t doing that, you should be - it’s the best way to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

Now you’re in a conference room one on one, two people for a minimum of twenty minutes every week (hopefully thirty minutes at least). What do you talk about? This is particularly confusing for the newly-minted manager. The last thing you want is for the weekly 1-1s to be a source of stress for everyone involved.

Ugly Solutions Need Love Too

First, consider this picture:

That looks pretty horrible, right? It gets even better: PG&E did this on purpose when they replaced the power pole!

When I first noticed this hanging extra piece of pole, I made fun of it. I’m sure many of you would do the same. That looks like an incredibly horrible, sloppy job.

But then I got to thinking. What problem was PG&E trying to solve? I thought back to when they replaced that pole. It actually took two attempts. The first attempt at replacing the pole resulted in disaster - the workers hit the underground water main and flooded the street. I can only assume that the water main was buried directly in front of the old pole.

Deer Lodge Little Joe

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:51:39 +0000

Another view on the south end of Main Street in Deer Lodge, with a Milwaukee Road EF-4 locomotive on display.

The Milwaukee ran the only transcontinental electric railway in the United States. Some 400 miles of the road, from eastern Montana to Idaho (Harlowton to Avery) were electrified. The EF-4 “Little Joe” was one of the main engines used on these tracks.

The 10 EF-4 (Freight) and 2 EP-4 (Passenger) series engines were called Little Joes as they were originally built by GE for the USSR in 1946. When relations with the USSR went sour, they were sold to the Milwaukee Road. Little Joe is a play on the name of the Soviet leader at the time, Joseph Stalin. The freight units were numbered E-70 to E-79. The passenger units were E-20 & E-21.

Emacs Tidy

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:50:26 +0000

Combine HTML Tidy with Emacs

I write quite a bit of HTML in emacs, and I often have to clean up html that others have written. The best tool for this is HTML tidy.

Ken Bowen pointed me towards a bit of code which I reworked in to this emacs function, tidy-buffer():

 ; Function to run Tidy HTML parser on buffer
 ; NOTE: this requires external Tidy program
 (defun tidy-buffer ()
  "Run Tidy HTML parser on current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (if (get-buffer "tidy-errs") (kill-buffer "tidy-errs"))
  (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max)
    "tidy -f /tmp/tidy-errs -q -i -wrap 72 -c" t)
  (find-file-other-window "/tmp/tidy-errs")
  (other-window 1)
  (delete-file "/tmp/tidy-errs")
  (message "buffer tidy'ed")
 )
 (global-set-key (kbd "C-x t") 'tidy-buffer)

This function basically runs the current buffer through tidy (obviously you have to have that installed first), and then pops up a new buffer with the errors from that process. I bind it to C-xt.

Lumix Movie Conversion

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:48:57 +0000

I take a lot of movies with my Panasonic DMC-FX3 camera. It produces good-quality 640x480 movies at 30fps (with sound). You can also take movies up to the size of the memory card which means a 2GB card gives you a 22 minute movie. Very nice.

Unfortunately, the file format is a pain. The camera produces very large files (approximately 60MB per minute). Also, while Apple’s Quicktime player handles the audio correctly other players such as VLC and mplayer choke on the audio. The audio plays for a few moments but then it degenerates into static.

Linksys Wrt 54 Gl Upgrade To Dd Wrt

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:48:17 +0000

Making your Linksys WRT54GL wireless router open source with dd-wrt

Home wireless routers are actually pretty complex computing devices and many of them run some sort of stripped-down linux or some other embedded OS such as VxWorks. When I purchased my Linksys wireless router 5 years ago I specifically bought one that could be upgraded to run an alternative open linux platform such as dd-wrt.

Well for five years I never bothered to upgrade the firmware because the wireless router worked fine as-is. However, I finally decided to upgrade for a few of reasons:

GE Lightbulb Falls Apart and Destroys My Table Lamp!

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:47:13 +0000

We have a table lamp with a 150W electronic variable dimmer built in to the socket. A few days ago the light flickered off. I jiggled the bulb and was rewarded with a loud pop, a flash, and a burning electric smell. Also, the lamp didn’t work any more.

What happened? I took the lamp apart to figure it out and my conclusion is the GE lightbulb failed. The circular metal contact on the base of the bulb fell off inside the socket. That caused the socket to short out. The integrated electronic dimmer blew out when the socket shorted.

Wikis Are Super For Blogging

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:46:43 +0000

Background

Recently I answered a question on a Stack Exchange site where someone was looking for a minimalistic blogging platform. Here’s my original posting.

In that answer I commented that I really like the idea of using wikis as blogging software. I mentioned as an example Chris Siebenmann’s sysadmin blog, WanderingThoughts.

Chris saw the stack exchange referrals in his server logs and responded with his thoughts. You have to love the echo chamber we call the internet.

DevOps Blocker

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:42:29 +0000

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about this whole DevOps thing. Briefly, DevOps is the pursuit of merging the disparate cultures of Development and Operations groups in the computer software (particularly web-based) word. DevOps is the big thing in computer system administration these days.

For many good reasons, Development and Operations groups have historically operated relatively independently. The biggest reason for this is that Operations is concerned primarily with stability and Development with creating new features. This leads to a natural conflict, particularly since Operations gets blamed for outages, and outages are associated with new features.

New York Notes Two

NYC observations, continued

(you should start here first)

Famous and/or rich people ride in black limousines. If you see a white limo, its for tourists and high school proms.

Weekend excitement 4/25/04: Watched both the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth 2 depart from the cruise ship piers (4 blocks from our apartment). I though the QE2 was big until I saw the QM2. This was the first time since 1940 that two Cunard queens were docked in NYC. It will also be the last for a long while as the QM2 is taking over the transatlantic route from the QE2.

Fizz Buzz

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:27:03 +0000

I read this blog posting on a trivial programming test at two in the morning and I got worried: was I an actual programmer? Thus I decided to implement FizzBuzz in bash 3:

for i in {1..100}
do
  ([ $(($i % 15)) -eq 0 ] && echo FizzBuzz ) || \
  ([ $(($i % 3)) -eq 0 ] && echo Fizz ) || \
  ([ $(($i % 5)) -eq 0 ] && echo Buzz ) || \
  echo $i
done

Big City Toddler

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:25:27 +0000

Further Adventures with A Small Child in the City

by Phil Hollenback

Introduction

A lot has changed since I wrote my first article about having and raising a baby in the city. For one thing, we now have a independent three year old son instead of a tiny helpless baby to take care of. One key thing has not changed however: we still live in a city. That city happens to be San Francisco now instead of New York, but our basic lifestyle is the same. We don’t own a car and we live in a minuscule one bedroom apartment. Everything in our lives is shaped by these two constraints. While this can at times be frustrating, we feel the advantages outweigh the inconveniences. In this article I will try to outline a few of the things I’ve learned as we have transitioned from having a Big City Baby to having a Big City Toddler.

Perl Loop Increment

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:23:52 +0000

Recently I came across a curious bug in a perl script (naturally I found the bug via code review). Here’s a code snippet of what got me thinking:

for $i (1..4)
{
  # do something
  $i++;
}

Wait, what? I knew from using the script previously that it definitely executed the loop four times. So what’s up with that extra $i++ in there? Shouldn’t that cause the loop to only be run twice? I tried some sample code to figure it out:

Perl In the Fast -lane

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:21:36 +0000

Ok, ok, sorry for the terrible title. But hey I have exciting news: I think I’ve finally come to understand the awesomeness of the perl -lane method of running one line perl command scripts.

Unfortunately, this does mean I’m saying goodbye to awk. I’m sorry old buddy it’s been a long run but it’s time for me to move on.

Anyway, in my real job I often have to run scripts on thousands of remote systems via a parallel ssh execution tool (the details of which are unimportant here). For example, I might need to confirm that the version of a particular configuration file is consistent across all the hosts. I can use my parallel execution tool to easily run a command on all 10,000 or so hosts and dump the results in a text file. The problem is I end up with a very long result file that looks like this:

I Suck at Clipper Card

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:46:24 +0000

Caltrain is converting the the Clipper Card electronic payment system. I’ve been a Caltrain monthly pass holder for about three years as I commute daily from San Francisco to Mountain View. I’ve been very happy with the existing monthly pass - it is a simple paper ticket that is mailed to me each month.

But of course, change is good, so that system is coming to an end this month. Now all monthly pass holders must electronically load their passes on their Clipper Card instead. That’s slightly more annoying than carrying a paper pass. For example, your pass doesn’t get loaded onto your card each month until you tag your card at a station. Another problem is that Caltrain uses a zone payment system, which means you have to tag on and off so Clipper knows how far you’ve traveled and can deduct the appropriate amount from your card (if you aren’t using a monthly pass).

Distribution Chart

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:46:06 +0000

Command Line Distribution Chart

Scenario: you have a whole bunch of files that are mostly identical. You want to know the distribution of identical files vs. non-identical files. How do you do that on the unix command line?

Here’s my solution:

First, run md5sum on all the files to get a hash of every file. Identical files will have the same hash.

Then, sort the results and find the unique ones. Count how many occurrences you find of each hash.

San Francisco Housing Needed

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:21:07 +0000

Hey folks, I need some help with housing. My family and I have lived in the same apartment complex since we moved to San Francisco three years ago and it’s getting prohibitively expensive. When we started there were three of us and we had a $2200 a month for a one bedroom. That was fine since our son was in a crib. I make a good wage working at a major internet company so we could afford the rent. Of course I’m not happy about the price premium for living in the city. But hey, we made it work.

Command Line Twitter

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:19:04 +0000

Command Line Twitter

My notes on setting up the command line twitter client ttytter on my Mac.

Install the ttytter readline module with

$ sudo cpan Term::ReadLine::TTYtter

This gives you a readline which counts total characters per line (VERY IMPORTANT).

my ~/.ttytterrc:

ansi=1
verify=1
track='#sysadmin'
readline=1
vcheck=1
mentions=1
urlopen=open %U
avatar=open %U
backload=40
simplestart=1
ssl=1
newline=1
exts=/Users/barney/.ttytter/instapaper.pl
extpref_instapaper_username=barney@example.com
extpref_instapaper_password=badpass

mkdir ~/.ttytter

Put instapaper.pl in the ~/.ttytter directory:

#instapaper.pl Extension code by @augmentedfourth http://www.twitter.com/augmentedfourth
# Add a command (/later) to add tweet to Instapaper
#Released under the WTFPL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL

$addaction = sub {
   my $command = shift;

   if ($command =~ m#^/later (.+)#) {
      my $tweet_id=$1;
      my $tweet = &get_tweet($tweet_id);
      if (!$tweet->{'id_str'}) {
         print $stdout "-- sorry, no such tweet (yet?).\
";
         return 1;
      }
      #modified to use .ttytterrc by @stormdragon2976 http://www.twitter.com/stormdragon2976
      if ((!defined($extpref_instapaper_username)) || (!defined($extpref_instapaper_password)))
      {
        print $streamout ("Instapaper information not found. ");
        print $streamout ("Please add extpref_instapaper_username and extpref_instapaper_password ");
        print $streamout ("to your .ttytterrc.\
");
        return 1;
      }
      my $ip_user = $extpref_instapaper_username;
      my $ip_pass = $extpref_instapaper_password;
      my $add_url="twitter.com/$tweet->{'user'}->{'screen_name'}/statuses/$tweet->{'id'}";
      my $ip_url="https://www.instapaper.com/api/add?url=" . $add_url . "&username=" .
        $ip_user . "&password=" . $ip_pass . "&auto-title=1";
      my $content = `curl -s \"$ip_url\"`;
      if ($content =~ /201/){
         print "Added to Instapaper!\
";
      }else{
         print "Something went wrong, not added. Error code: ";
         print "$content\
";
      }
      return 1;
   }

   return 0;
};

To Do

I really want to rewrite the instapaper extension as an exercise to make it all perl (and try using LWP::Simple). It would also be nice if the extension printed a ’trying to add to instapaper … success!’ sort of message instead of just waiting until success or failure to complete (although the asynchronous nature of ttytter may make that difficult).

Send Your MIME with Perl

@philiph

Introduction

Ben Rockwood recently wrote a fairly comprehensive post about sending mime messages from the command line which I enjoyed thoroughly. It’s always fun to analyze exactly how things like mime encodings and mail transports work. Well, I think it’s fun anyway.

Ben’s solution of basically hand-crafting multipart mime messages and feeding them to sendmail is a fine way to go, although I find it a little error-prone and a little cumbersome. What about alternative solutions? You folks who know me have probably already figured out where this is headed: let’s do it in perl!

Sometimes Life Is Just Awesome

Last night, 8pm. We’re out of milk. My two boys are 4 years and 20 months. They expects their milk. We don’t own a car and it’s a few blocks walk to the grocery store. Limited options.

Ok, I will take the boys to the store with me to get milk and other supplies. I would just take the toddler but the 4 year old of course wants to go too, can’t leave him at home. I get clothes and shoes and everything on both children. Find the wheeled grocery cart. Find my ergo backpack so I can carry my toddler on my back when he gets tired. Find flashlights for both boys and me. Find tissues for snotty noses. Find coats (it’s January). Find hats. Ok, we’re ready. Leave the house with the baby and the 4 year old both walking holding my hands.

RequestTracker on CentOS 5

I recently assisted a friend in installing and configuring the latest Request Tracker issue tracking system. There didn’t seem to be good instructions about this on the web so I’ve written up my notes as a walkthrough here. These notes are specific to installing RT on a CentOS 5 GoDaddy VPS running over SSL but there should be enough generic info to cover any RT install on a modern linux system.

Like Peanut Butter on Toast

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:58:07 +0000

Say you have a process that runs on lots and lots of servers and you want to make sure it doesn’t execute on every machine at the same time. What’s the best way to design that setup? How can you measure the effectiveness of your solution?

I recently had to implement a system like this at my work. In this case we had about 10,000 servers and an update process that had to run once per day per machine. It was desirable that the update process run on as few machines concurrently as possible. My first guess at how to implement load spreading was by using something simple like the bash $RANDOM pseudorandom number generator. But, is that sufficient to adequately spread the load? I started thinking about other alternatives and hit on the idea of using a hashing function. I then decided to take the next step and try to compare the two methods empirically. The rest of this post explains that process and my conclusions.

Raid Lvm Migrate

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:48:44 +0000

Using LVM to migrate filesystems to a RAID device

Introduction

I administer a CentOS 4 server for a small company. The system was originally set up using multiple filesystems on LVM on a single SATA hard drive. This disk ran out of space and I wanted more reliability so I decided to install two additional large drives in the system and mirror them using RAID 1. Since I had originally configured the machine with LVM I was able to do most of this while the system was in production.

Amazon Wish List Text Backup

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:12:04 +0000

Update: this page previously contained a python script based almost entirely on something written by Jon Udell. However as of October 2009 Amazon requires you to use your secret key for REST queries so that code no longer works.

Luckily, the perl Net::Amazon module has just been updated to work with the new Amazon requirements. With a very small amount of tweaking of an example form that module I was able to once again create a script which dumps my wishlist as a text file. You still need to supply your wishlist ID from your wishlist URL on the Amazon website. You also need to provide both your AWS access key and your secret key, both of which are available for free at the AWS website. You will also need to install the Net::Amazon module from CPAN.

Did you know Kent was the home of the Green River Killer? He murdered around 50 women in nearby Seattle and Tacoma and left the bodies in Kent. The police never caught him, but they think they might be able to find the guy now with DNA evidence.

Milyn and Kevin, that has nothing to do with your picture, so you can edit it out of the page if you wish by hitting ##Edit## above.

Inter Wiki Test

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:55:57 +0000

Hi Mike,

Ok, first I added your site to my InterWikiMap. Then, I can make links like this:

Pretty cool, huh?

Indeed! I’ll play with PhpWiki 1.3 a little more . . . I actually installed 1.3.3 as soon as I saw it announced, but its extra features–or maybe my current build of PHP/Apache?–made a 166MHz Pentium beg for mercy. ;-)
–MikeJames

The 1.3.3 code has some bugs that slow it down (like it renders every page twice). The nightly cvs snapshots at this point seem to work pretty well (that’s what I’m using). –phil

Gold Creek Church

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:31:30 +0000

My family actually comes from the town of Gold Creek, located a few miles from Jens. Here’s a picture of the Catholic church in that town. The community center is on the extreme left, and the grade school is on top of the hill in the center.

The school is grades K-6. After sixth grade, you go on to junior high in Deer Lodge.

When I attended school there, there wasn’t a kindergarten grade, so I actually started with first grade at age 6. That’s why I never learned shapes or colors.

Hogan Ranch Supply

Hogan’s Ranch Supply, located in the nearby town of Hall. The Hogans are all my cousins.

There are two sides of the road in Gold Creek: the Hollenback side and the Hogan side. That’s about it. Oh, there’s the catholic church too.

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:28:02 +0000

My mom took this picture of me in the mountains above Anaconda. I think this was in May. We were high enough that the snow hadn’t melted yet.

This was right near a very cool abandoned mine called the Southern Cross.

Philipsburg Goldenrule

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:25:23 +0000

Another historic mining town near Gold Creek and Jens - Philipsburg.

Philipsburg is actually far enough off the beaten path that it hasn’t been covered with nasty strip malls and McDonalds. Instead, the town leaders have very smartly kept the original mining town intact.

I wonder why this building says Golden Rule on it?

Philipsburg was involved primarily in silver mining. I suggest the Richard Hugo poem Degrees of Gray in Philipsburg for a thoughtful view of this town.

Ocular Migraine

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:40:28 +0000

I wanted to write down an absolutely bizarre neurological experience I had today: an ocular migraine. This is a pretty weird thing to go through if it’s never happened to you before.

About 10:30 this morning I was sitting in a meeting with 5 other people in a small conference room. I noticed that for some reason I was having difficulty concentrating on people - when I looked directly at someone, my vision got all blurry in the center. At the same time the room was very bright. Weirdest of all there seemed to be a flashing jagged horizontal line in my vision just above my line of sight.

Emacs, of course.

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:39:32 +0000

And not just boring old GNU Emacs, but new improved, easier on the eyes, gets your clothes cleaner Xemacs!

So here’s my .emacs file and the .emacstuff directory that goes with it.

You actually just need the .emacstuff directory if you want to use this. Here’s what to do:

Download emacstuff.tgz and untar it as ~/.emacstuff
Make a link between .emacstuff/dotemacs.el and ~/.emacs: ln -s ~/.emacstuff/dotemacs.el ~/.emacs
Create a ~/.private.el file that looks something like:

(setq user-full-name "Jonh Q. Luser")
(setq user-mail-address "john@foobar.com")
(setq mail-host-address "mail")
(setq ldap-default-host "ldap")
(setq ldap-host-parameters-alist (quote (("ldap.foobar.com" base ("ou=People,o=foobar.com"))))
(setq ldap-default-base "ou=People,o=foobar.com")

(optional) copy the contents of .emacstuff/Xdefaults into your ~/.Xdefaults file.

Note: while my .emacs tries to be compatible with GNU Emacs, you will probably find that a bunch of files are missing if you actually try to use it with Emacs. That’s because I assume that you use Xemacs’ configuration mechanism to install a bunch of packages that don’t come with GNU Emacs.

Why Are Old Toys So Awesome?

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:38:20 +0000

Grandma went to a garage sale recently and bought a duffel bag full of toys. One of the items in that bag was this adorable Tonka Dune Buggy:

This toy is about 4" long. It has a metal body, plastic wheels, and a removal plastic top:

The bottom of the toy says TONKA 55340 MADE IN U.S.A.:

This very satisfying toy got me thinking: why are old toys so much better than new ones? This little car is beautifully constructed. It has thick metal axles and wonderful detailing. The use of metal and plastic is appropriate: metal for the body and axles, plastic for the interior and fine details. Look how cute this thing is in my hand:

Philly Trip

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:30:42 +0000

We took a day trip to the city of Brotherly Love in March of 2004.

It turns out that Philadelphia is basically a suburb of New York. Ok, maybe it isn’t, but the cities on the east coast sure are close together.

Sorry, that’s the end of this path. I never got around to adding more pictures to this path.

Installing Mac OS 10.4 on my Powerbook

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:19:43 +0000

I’m upgrading my mac from OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4. I’ve decided to do a completely clean install to flush out all the random crap I’ve accumulated.

Purchase firewire/usb external HD case from TigerDirect **$42 w/ shipping.
Install new 60GB 2.5" laptop hard drive in external case.
Install Mac OS 10.4 to the new disk (ween) **During the install, choose ‘options’ and make sure you install X11 - lots of things depend on it.

How to Use Mutt, FastMail, and Mail.app Together on Your Mac

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 02:24:53 +0000

by Philip J. Hollenback
Originally published in MacDevCenter on January 18, 2005.

In many ways, the Mac is the best of two worlds. On the one hand, you have all the beautiful GUI-based programs that the Mac has always been famous for. On the other, Mac OS X is at its heart a Unix OS, so all the command-line tools are available as well. The result is an incredibly powerful and flexible platform.

iLO vs. IPMI

IPMI: Intelligent Platform Management Interface
- Standard interface developed by Intel
- Supported on servers from many vendors
- This support is often in the form of a separate card attached to motherboard
  - Add-on at time of system purchase
- Current Version is 2.0, which differs significantly from old (and installed everywhere) v1.5
iLO: Integrated Lights Out
- Developed by Compaq many years ago, then enhanced by HP
- Standard on all 200- and 300- series Proliant Servers

Twitter Resource Identifer

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:54:18 +0000

Something I was pondering today: is there a compact way to describe external resources in twitter posts? I thought up an answer I’m going to call the Twitter Resource Identifier (TRI).

The canonical way to point to an external resource in twitter is to use an URL shortener such as bit.ly. If you use the j.mp bitly domain you can get an 18 character URL such as http://j.mp/hELRJ9 which points to an external URL (in this case /[CaltrainClipperFailure](/CaltrainClipperFailure/)). That’s not bad, except for the fact that URL shorteners suck, and 18 characters is significant chunk of the 140 character twitter limit.

The Issue with Wiki RSS Feeds

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:53:49 +0000

This began as a response to a post on Chris Siebenmann’s wiki about blogs versus wikis. Chris asserts that blogs have an advantage when it comes to presenting and tracking changes. I have to agree with this, but I think the issue is mainly an implementation weakness of wikis. Wikis could present better change tracking interfaces, if the current wiki engines were improved.

I use phpwiki for my site www.hollenback.net, and one problem is it it has a terrible rss feed. All the feed gives you is page summaries, and those are just the one-line comment the page editor makes when submitting a change. Note that some other wiki engines hopefully have other, better rss engines - if so I welcome comments to this post.

Cheapo ASUS Plus DirecTV Equals Wireless WIN

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:51:53 +0000

I’ve got a DirecTV HD receiver that I want to get on the net. The problem is it comes with just wired ethernet, no wireless, and running a cable to it is not convenient. I could buy one of those special ‘xbox wireless adapters’, but they cost like $125. It’s more fun instead to install dd-wrt on a $30 wireless router and convert that to a bridge. Disclaimer: my idea of ‘fun’ may not match yours.

Presentation Checklist

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:46:32 +0000

I generate my presentations with org-mode in emacs and the beamer LaTeX class(pdf). I then display them as PDFs with the Preview app on my Mac, running in full screen mode. I use iRed Lite to enable controlling the presentation with my mac’s included remote.

I also use Caffeine to prevent my laptop from going to sleep during the presentation.

Here’s a nice guide on how to give a presentation by Glen Campbell.

This is the checklist I’m working on for everything I need to do prior to giving a presentation:

Lifter Experiment

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:42:41 +0000

JJ Furman and I pursued some scientific investigation of antigravity this week (December ‘02). Here are the results of our research.

The lifter is constructed of balsa wood, aluminum foil, and magnet wire (30 gauge wire with an enamel coating). All parts are superglued. An old computer monitor provides a high voltage power supply.

Milwaukee Road

The old Milwaukee Depot in Missoula, Montana.

Lifter Construction

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 01:10:49 +0000

Here JJ works on constructing one of the Lifter prototypes.:

Basically the Lifter is an asymmetric capacitor. The top wire and the bottom foil form the capacitor over the balsa wood frame. When a high-voltage charge is applied to the Lifter, it rises into the air.

Some people claim that is true antigravity. However, we believe what is really going on is the device ionizes the air around it in such a manner that the air rushes downward and creates lift.

Ny Move Tips

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:37:07 +0000

Here are a few tips you might find helpful if you are planning on moving to New York City. I base this on what I’ve found since my wife and I moved here in July of 2003.

These tips are most applicable if you’re moving from the west coast or some other non-urban area.

Buy a sturdy backpack. You are going to be doing a lot of walking. I recommend a large Jansport or Columbia daypack.

Window Maker Themes

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:33:16 +0000

The WindowMaker window manager has a theme mechanism which controls your background images, titlebar images, etc. This is controlled with the setstyle program.

I wrote the following script to invoke setstyle and give it a random theme:

#!/usr/bin/tcl
# A script to randomly select a new windowmaker theme.

# Phil Hollenback
# philiph_at_pobox.com
# 4/29/03

set Background [ lindex $argv 0 ]
set ScriptName [ file tail $argv0 ]

set dir "~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes"
set styleprog /usr/X11R6/bin/setstyle
set SleepTime 3600
set themelist [ readdir $dir ]


proc PrintUsage {} {
    global ScriptName SleepTime
    puts "Usage: $ScriptName \[-b\]"
    puts "optional b switch causes program to stay running and wake up every $SleepTime"
    puts "seconds to change the background."
}

if { $argc > 1 } {
    PrintUsage
    exit 1
}

# Pick a random theme from the list.
random seed
set picknum [ random [ llength $themelist ] ]
set theme [ lindex $themelist $picknum ]

#echo "theme is $theme"

if [ file exists "$dir/$theme" ] {
    set result [system $styleprog $dir/"$theme"]
    if [ expr $result != 0 ] {
      puts stderr "$styleprog failed!"
      puts stderr "Theme was $dir/$theme"
      exit 1
    }
    if { [ string compare $Background "-b" ] != 0 } {
	# quit unless user specified "-b" persistent switch.
	exit 0
    }
} else {
    echo "Can't find theme $dir/$theme! Where did it go?"
    exit 1
}

# Sleep for a while, then respawn to change the background again.
sleep $SleepTime
execl $argv0 "-b"

To use this script, start it in your .xsession or .startxrc with the -b switch. It will then change the theme every 30 minutes. If you call it without the -b switch, it changes the theme immediately and exits.

Using Firefox's mozex extension to call an external mail program

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:27:59 +0000

by Philip J. Hollenback

(originally published on Newsforge October 2004)

I recently moved from Mozilla to Firefox 1.0PR for Web browsing on my Fedora Core 1 Linux desktop system. On that platform, Firefox doesn’t do anything with mailto: links by default; it just prints an error message if you click on one. However, a Firefox extension called mozex allows you to use any external mail program for mailto: links in Firefox.

Note that Firefox on Windows does understand mailto: links, and will open the mailer you specify in your Internet Properties control panel. However, if you want to use an arbitrary program that doesn’t register with that control panel, mozex works fine on Windows, and gives you other useful features I’ll discuss below.

Testicle Festival

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:25:01 +0000

Stolen from neuroaesthetic’s flickr photostream:

Ah, the memories. I grew up just down the road from this place, which is off the Rock Creek exit on I-90 between Missoula and Butte, Montana.

They didn’t have the Testicle Festival when I was a kid. Instead, it was a big tourist trap called the SNAKE PIT, at least according to the 300 foot tall sign. How awesome is that? It was a ramshckle collection of buildings filled with… wait… SNAKES in cages!

Incident At Mirror Lake Inn

We attended a delightful wedding in Lake Placid, New York over the weekend of November 4-6 2005. Unfortunately, we chose to stay at the Mirror Lake Inn. Here’s what happened:

There was a special room rate of $170/night at the Inn for the wedding. The actual wedding was at a very small bed & breakfast next door. Lacking any other idea of where to stay in Lake Placid, I reserved two rooms at the Mirror Lake for my wife and I (and several friends). So far so good, right?

Motion: Your Eye in the Sky for Computer Room Surveillance

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:22:46 +0000

By Phil Hollenback on Wed, 2005-01-26 02:00.

Introduction

Let’s say you have a room full of thousands of dollars’ worth of computer equipment. That’s probably something you want to keep an eye on, right? With that in mind, you install a network-connected camera. Now, you can surf over to the camera’s Web page and see what’s going on in the server room at any time of day or night. That’s an improvement, but you quickly realize some sort of recording facility is needed, in case you need to figure out who was in the room last Tuesday. So, you start saving the video to another system on the network for possible viewing at a later time. Maybe you write a few scripts to rotate the video after a week or so to keep from filling up your hard drive.

Helpful Mutt Hints

Help for the finest mail reader in the land, mutt

I use mutt to read my mail, and you should too:

it’s small, fast, and text based so it works anywhere
it has comprehensive MIME capabilities
it supports IMAP very well.

I’m even using mutt with Mac OS X on my new Apple G4 Titanium laptop. Works great. I’ll be adding some info about that setup soon.

Here are a few things I’ve figured out for mutt over the years:

Ny Times Abuses

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 23:19:16 +0000

For better or worse, I rely on the New York Times (via Bloglines of course) as my primary news source. That means I read a lot of Times articles.

I’ve come to realize that there are some out-of-control writers there. They love to throw in extremely obscure words, particularly when an obvious alternative exists. From their 12/22/04 review of ‘Meet the Parents’:

Ms. Streisand and her cascade of curls, which evoke the style she favored around the time of “A Star Is Born,” are charmingly recherché.

An archive of older front page updates.

04/07/09: Nothing too exciting, just wanted to let everyone know I am alive and very busy, what with the toddler and the job.
02/02/09: GE’s defective light bulb could have burned down my house!
09/27/07: I’ve written a big new article I’m calling Big City Baby. This also helps explain why I haven’t updated this site much in the last few months.
11/30/06: I finally updated my wiki software! Notice the pretty new page style and hopefully some more updates very soon.

Why Stay With Fastmail

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:28:19 +0000

blog post placeholder: why do I stay with fastmail.fm for my mail?

google/yahoo have most of the same features

I do like custom sieve rule support

lack of address book export via something like ldap sucks

I’m up against 1gb limit after 8 years

not much development seems to be going on

opera buying them hasn’t resulted in much

fastmail used to have lots of unique features, but the competitors have caught up, and are free (gmail)

Tech Company Telecommuting

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:26:18 +0000

Placeholder for a blog post I need to write. What are the problems with telecommuting at big tech companies?

Too many meetings to attend

managers compete in a zero sum game, resulting in need for ‘butts in seats’

IRC/chat works for some things but not all

Is it possible to start at a company, work there a few years, and then move to a permanent telecommute?

Anyway, I get paid the aeron chair money to manage software releases for a giant internet company. We push packages out to thousands of servers on pretty much a daily basis. I’ve learned a few things about large scale software packaging along the way. Today’s topic of discussion: process management.

Port Numbers

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:56:52 +0000

PORT NUMBERS

(last updated 2007-02-15)

The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports,
the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports.

The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.

DCCP Well Known ports SHOULD NOT be used without IANA registration.
The registration procedure is defined in [RFC4340], Section 19.9.

The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151

DCCP Registered ports SHOULD NOT be used without IANA registration.
The registration procedure is defined in [RFC4340], Section 19.9.

The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535



************************************************************************
* PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:                                           *
*                                                                      *
* IESG STATEMENT TO THE IANA                                           *
*    THE IESG BELIEVES THAT IANA MAY ALLOCATE AN ADDITIONAL PORT IN    *
*    THE 'USER PORT' RANGE TO PROTOCOLS WHOSE CURRENT PORT ALLOCATION  *
*    REQUIRES ACCESS TO A PRIVILEGED PORT. THIS ALLOCATION SHOULD NOT  *
*    BE AUTOMATIC, BUT MAY OCCUR UPON APPLICATION BY AN INTERESTED     *
*    PARTY WHOSE APPLICATION WOULD OTHERWISE FIT IANA'S POLICIES.      *
*                                                                      *
* 1. UNASSIGNED PORT NUMBERS SHOULD NOT BE USED.  THE IANA WILL ASSIGN *
* THE NUMBER FOR THE PORT AFTER YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED.    *
*                                                                      *
* 2. ASSIGNMENT OF A PORT NUMBER DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY AN          *
* ENDORSEMENT OF AN APPLICATION OR PRODUCT, AND THE FACT THAT NETWORK  *
* TRAFFIC IS FLOWING TO OR FROM A REGISTERED PORT DOES NOT MEAN THAT   *
* IT IS "GOOD" TRAFFIC. FIREWALL AND SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS SHOULD      *
* CHOOSE HOW TO CONFIGURE THEIR SYSTEMS BASED ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF    *
* THE TRAFFIC IN QUESTION, NOT WHETHER THERE IS A PORT NUMBER          *
* REGISTERED OR NOT.                                                   *
************************************************************************


WELL KNOWN PORT NUMBERS

The Well Known Ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can
only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by
privileged users.

Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of logical
connections which carry long term conversations.  For the purpose of
providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is
defined.  This list specifies the port used by the server process as
its contact port.  The contact port is sometimes called the
"well-known port".

To the extent possible, these same port assignments are used with the
UDP [RFC768].

The range for assigned ports managed by the IANA is 0-1023.

Port Assignments:

Who Is Near By RSS

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:38:28 +0000

I’m experimenting with GeoURL, a service that maps websites in the real world. You put your lattitude and longitude in a meta tag and then tell the geourl.com webserver.

One problem is lots of people screw up the numbers (like they forget minus signs). That’s why a number of websites in Germany appear to be neighbors of mine.

You’re supposed to use the coordinates that best represent your website, not your server. Physically my server is in Ohio or something, but I’m in NYC and my website is mostly about my interests, so that seemed the logical place to site it.

call2sym

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 22:14:44 +0000

call2sym is a small linux kernel debugging aid I wrote a couple of years back and released under the GNU Public License. It was hosted at my employer’s site, but that site has gone away, so I figured I had better put it up here.

This tool is mainly useful for embedded linux development.

Introduction

call2sym is a kernel debugging aid. It performs the useful task of converting a Linux kernel system call stack trace into symbolic names. This allows you to quickly determine exactly which functions were executing when the kernel panick’d.

Main site

What NASA thinks

Our Conclusions:

#The lifter effect is real and repeatable. #The effect is ion wind, not antigravity. #Weight of the lifter device is very important - it must be as light as possible. #Scraping the positive wire is critical for lift. #Arcing between the positive and negative capacitor plates occurs with less than 3.5 cm of separation. #Conversely, the lift decreases the farther apart the plates are. #Playing with high voltage is fun. #Corona tastes good with Lime.

Lifter Phil Monitor

Here’s a picture of me (Phil) working on the monitor:

After the high voltage lines are secured, you can drill holes in the sides of the case and run the wires out:

Lifter Power Supply

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 23:59:37 +0000

The Lifter requires at least 20000 volts to operate. One way to obtain this is to tap into the high voltage inside an old computer monitor.

WARNING: This is extrememely dangerous! A monitor can retain a charge for several hours after it is turned off. This charge can be enough to stop your heart and kill you!

Here’s the inside of the monitor we used. The positive supply is the thick cable which leads to the suction cup on the top of the tube. This can easily be removed.

But I see from some page warnings that something is broken either with this feed or the phpwiki rss plugin.

Best Years Triplets Reviews

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 18:29:21 +0000

From: Phil
To: Vince, Ed

I’m on a real movie bender these days. Also I just drank my coffee. Try this oscar double-header on:

Triplets of Bellville - I believe this won the Oscar for an animated feature last year. French movie about a boy who dreams of the Tour de France, competes in it, is kidnapped and made to race against other cyclists in gladitorial combat, and is rescued by his grandmother and the title characters. Oh, and there’s virtually no dialog in the entire 90 minutes. Shows once again that the French are cool in some weird way, like the japanese but completely different.

Subject: disappointed by another horror movie - Dreamcatcher

I watched that Stephen King movie ‘Dreamcatcher’ last night. Why do I always fall for those movies? It sucked. So hard. Crimes against movie watching humanity include:

First of all, the plot was ridiculous - aliens taking over the world crap. But that can be a good movie, if it isn’t shot down by other problems. Guess what? There are problems:

Hunting Geese

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 01:19:28 +0000

Searches for the term “hunting geese with a rake” on google return only two matches. Both of those are quotations by David Crosby.

That was a term I heard when I was in college back in Montana in my younger days, and I was surprised at how uncommon it is on today’s internet.

Thus, I’m mentioning it here to see if I can become the definitive reference for the term on the intarweb.

I wonder if anyone except Kenneth will ever see this page or understand what I’m doing here?

Thanks for the comment on the HuntingGeese page Ken. I’m not sure what the answer is.

(Obviously the proper place to make that comment is on the original page. I’m just fooling around)
