Please, whatever you do, feed the trolls! :)

Beagle Filesystem

Linux, Mono Comments Off

I generally don’t do a “cut and paste” blog from other people’s blogs, but this is *really* cool.

And I will not arrive empty handed. Of late I have been playing with FUSE. For the kids, I wrote beaglefs:

$ ./beaglefs joey ./query

$ ls ./query 14-38-39.jpg 2005-02-25.191427.txt img_0931.jpg img_1789.jpg 2004-10-14.112903.txt 2005-02-28.114211.txt img_0983.jpg img_1818.jpg 2004-10-29.122217.txt 2005-03-07.114103.txt img_1358.jpg img_2506.jpg 2004-11-01.112509.txt 2005-03-08.115321.txt img_1359.jpg img_2507.jpg 2004-11-05.140919.txt 2005-03-11.140838.txt img_1360.jpg img_2518.jpg 2005-02-03.120233.txt img_0179.jpg img_1768.jpg wolf.txt

$ ls -la query/img_1358.jpg lrwxrwxrwx 1 rlove users 60 2006-06-23 17:50 query/img_1358.jpg -> /home/rlove/images/nyc_20041210/img_1358.jpg $ fusermount -u query/

Mount a Beagle query as a filesystem. The filesystem contents are symlinks to the hit results (if curious, the images match via F-Spot tags). Imagine the possibilities!

Very cool. Good work rlove!

Arachnopedia, where are you?

Does anyone know what kind of spider this is?

Spider

I found one in my basement and two in my garage this week. I think the farmer cutting his field last week must have left them looking for new homes. I hadn’t seen any until that time.

Even with all of the sites on the Internet that have identification charts, I still can’t seem to find on that looks just like it.

Interplanetary time travelers

Seems that others don’t like the fact that the Utah Open Source Planet is rotating a little fast. I guess it’s an 8 hour difference between Mountain Standard Time and UTC. Well, you can *not* slow the Planet’s rotation that much without major repercussions. Hold on to your seats, adjust your clocks and expect some breakage.

Order of Magnitude Smarter then Me

Miscellaneous, Ridiculous 2 Comments »

Why does everyone think they need to talk in “orders of magnitude” just to sound smart?

When you don’t state the ratio and you’re only talking a single “order of magnitude,” it would be much easier and concise to say “about 10 times.”

If you’ve ever read slashdot, you know what I’m talking about.

OpenBrainstem Mailman Configuration Fixed

Linux, Open Source Comments Off

I post this on my blog cause Peregrine doesn’t take comments unless I’m “logged on” and I had it all typed up.
1) I thought you got the wordpress/https/smiley bug fixed. :)

2) I think there is a better way to do this mailman setup…

a) Alias with Mailman:
################
The output of /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases depends on the value of the `MTA’ variable in your mm_cfg.py. If you have Postfix there, it makes a file called /etc/mailmain/alias. I think it also runs postmap on it.

Then in your main.cf you would add “alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases.” This way, Mailman takes care of its own aliases. Make a new list - it just works!

b) Going Virtual:
################
If they are virtual domains then you have to take the extra step of adding them to the mm_cfg.py as such:

“POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [’domain1.tld’, ‘domain2.tld’]”
“add_virtualhost(’domain1.tld’, ‘domain2.tld’)”

Then when you add new domains it will add them to a file with only mailman’s virtual settings. Let Postfix know about them by adding this to your main.cf:

“virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual, hash:/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman”

Let me know if that screws you up. It’s been a while since I’ve done it.

I’m one dapper dude!

Little and active; spruce; trim; smart; neat in dress or

The first time I fired-up Linux, it was Red Hat 7. Both Linux and I have come a long way since then. I’ve been faithful to Red Hat for some time now.

  • Red Hat 7
  • Red Hat 8
  • Red Hat 9
  • Fedora Core 1
  • Fedora Core 2
  • Fedora Core 3
  • Fedora Core 4
  • Fedora Core 5
  • Other CentOS and RHEL versions for my servers

I always knew that RH and FC were the right distros for me. I aways came back after testing others. Well, that has changed.

Ubuntu has won me over. What do I like about it?

  • One disk installs for desktop or server.
  • Server and desktop that share a common base. (FC becomes RHEL - not the same)
  • Clean Gnome desktop.
  • Polished feel.
  • 5 year support on the LTS.
  • Many other small things.

I’ll keep-up on CentOS and Red Hat because I’ll need to know them when working in other environments. I may even go back to them after checking out RHEL 5. I really dig Red Hat and think they are one of the best Open Source companies out there. I just feel that Ubuntu gives me more of what I want right now. Somehow, I can’t help felling disloyal :)
