My friend Michael Soulier writes at: http://www.digitaltorque.ca/2009/04/02/building-rpms-out-of-git/
I find the need to wrap up content into a tar.gz so that I can build it really dumb. It wasn't always like this... with the DEBIAN version the rpm command, I can actually just do:
rpmbuild -vv --define="_topdir $(RPMTOPDIR)" --define="Version $(VERSION)" -bb pt-vnc-connector.spec
and produce an RPM directly from my source directory... This no longer works with RHEL4/FC8/Centos5 versions of RPM, which I find funny. I was looking at porting the debian RPM package to RPM...
So, I build my RPMs under Debian Etch/Lenny!
Michael also writes:

Google Chromium from X-over office
I tried the codeweavers (authors of the X-over office) version of chromium on my debian etch machine. It is at:
http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/chromium/cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb
and I installed it with dpkg -i. It showed up in my GNOME-panel, and it appears to run {{{ /opt/cxchromium/bin/wine c:/chromium/chrome.exe --no-sandbox --in-process-plugins }}}
I'm guessing that they did not recompile it under wine with libraries. I wish that they had. There are instructions for installing chrome with wine, but they don't work on debian etch (you need a newer wine, and some newer libraries).
The biggest problem seems to be that many of the drop-down menus do not wait for the cursor to move --- that is, if you are in google maps, and you go to the "By car/Transit/Walking" menu, that it doesn't wait for you to pick the item you want. You have to hold you mouse down to change the combo box.
The other problems are that the window can not be resized, and the bits all kinda look a bit squashed.
I wish I had time to work on the Linux port myself.

Today, I converted some MOV (Quicktime) files from the railscasts.com webcast site to mp4, which my Neuros OSD can read.
I couldn't do this with ffmpeg from debian stable, because it doesn't have the aac codec. I did it with ffmpeg from http://debian-multimedia.org/

After playing with Russell McOrmond's Neuros on Sunday, I ordered one on Monday from ThinkGeek. ThinkGeek was the only company that had stock and would ship to Canada. I elected for the UPS option, since DHL almost always screws up.
UPS delivered without even collecting duty, and then an automated recording called me to bore me. The UPS fee for brockage was going to be $0.00, so I hope they will just invoice me.
I wanted to NFS mount my file server, where for some time I've had a 225G partition waiting for me to setup the hauppage card in my wife's old desktop. (That machine is now a Pluto@Home, and it's mounted on a wall in basement. I might actually use the security system in it as well as the PVR stuff. We have a second Satellite/Starchoice receiver in the basement)
After telling my dhcp server to give the neuros a constant IP, and putting that IP in DNS, and letting DNSSEC resign my zone (it needs randomness and I don't know why. It should be using RSA...), I added the new name to /etc/exports on the file server, and did a mount.
The mount took awhile on the neuros. I had telnet'ed in as root, and the Neuros doesn't have a lockd running. I went into IRC, and learnt that I should add "-o nolock" to my mount line. I wondered how to make it mount each time it booted, and learnt that it runs
/mnt/OSD/rc.userif the shell script exists. Mine is:
#!/bin/sh # mount stuff from aragorn. sh /mnt/OSD/ssw.sh
and
/mnt/OSD/ssw.sh
#!/bin/sh mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/media/aragorn mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/media/aragorn/cadillac mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/media/cadillac mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/media/new mount -o nolock aragorn:/cadillac /mnt/tmpfs/media/cadillac mount -o nolock aragorn:/cadillac/movies/Den /mnt/tmpfs/media/new
The second mount was necessary so that it would be willing to accept that location as the default recording location. It didn't seem to like being told to record to a sub-subdirectory.
It recorded some ads from TV to "osd.mp4" in that directory.
I then wondered what happens if I hit the red record button again. It felt that it hasn't been configured as to a location to record to, so I told it the same location, and told it to default to 30 minutes. It now recorded to:
aragorn-[/cadillac/movies/Den] root 35 #ls -l total 226320 ---------- 1 root 1002 49152 Jan 16 23:35 .rec_SCA_1466957263_852.bin ---------- 1 root 1002 49152 Jan 16 23:35 .rec_SCV_1466957263_852.bin ---------- 1 root 1002 0 Jan 16 23:26 .rec_SS_1466957263_852.bin ---------- 1 root 1002 0 Jan 16 23:26 .rec_TSA_1466957263_852.bin ---------- 1 root 1002 98304 Jan 16 23:35 .rec_TSV_1466957263_852.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1002 34338611 Jan 16 23:09 osd.mp4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1002 197132288 Jan 16 23:36 osd_06.26@1607_01.mp4
(aragorn is a NetBSD XEN guest file server)
I was puzzled by the new file name, until I ran date on the OSD:
/mnt/OSD $ date Sun Jun 26 16:10:37 UTC 2016 /mnt/OSD $ rdate istari Wed Jan 16 23:21:45 2008 /mnt/OSD $ date Wed Jan 16 23:21:46 UTC 2008
An rdate cleared that up. I stuck the rdate into the rc.user just for luck.
So far, we are very happy. Liam likes it too. Next step is to transfer all his Thomas videos to soft-copy before they VHS tapes completely wear out.

Holy life immitates art batman!
http://blag.xkcd.com/2007/10/01/the-meetup/
xkcd readers successfully overran a park in Cambridge a week ago, and it's taken me this long to fully recover. But boy, was it fun. Here's a wrap-up:
Back in the spring, when I lived in Virginia, I drew this comic. The date was in the future, the coordinates were a park in Cambridge. When the date came last weekend, hundreds of people showed up.

how to test Ruby On Rails RESTful
I had a bit of a mystery while trying to test out how RESTful routing of Ruby on Rails worked.
My controller looked like:
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.rhtml
format.yml {
text = ''
text = boottime.logical_host.macaddress + ":\r\n"
text += " geometryX: " + lastcc.geometryX.to_s + "\r\n"
text += " geometryY: " + lastcc.geometryY.to_s + "\r\n"
render :context_type => "text/yaml", :text => text
}
end
and my test case looked like:
get :show, :id => mac
When I first tried doing:
get :show, :id => mac+'.yml'
it failed to work. That's now how to do it. I went through many attempts, and finally realized that the extension should be "yaml" not, "yml" (and in the respond_to) as well.
get :show, :id => mac, :format => 'yaml'
assert @response.body.include?("geometryX")
assert @response.body.include?("geometryY")
works. Silly me.

Despite what the thread at: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-raid@vger.kernel.org/msg07378.html
says, William L. Thomsom Jr. is reporting a real bug.
[root@grouper dev]# fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep sda6 /dev/sda6 2 4865 39070048+ fd Linux raid autodetect [root@grouper dev]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb | grep sdb6 /dev/sdb6 2 4865 39070048+ fd Linux raid autodetect root@grouper dev]# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb6 mdadm: /dev/sda6 is too small: 0K
Yet, making ONE adjustment changes things:
[root@grouper dev]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb | grep sdb6 /dev/sdb6 2 4865 39070048+ fd Linux raid autodetect [root@grouper dev]# fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep sd.6 /dev/sda6 2 4865 39070048+ 83 Linux [root@grouper dev]# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb6 mdadm: size set to 39069952K mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
Curiously, that's all I had to do. Subsequent partitions (I had 8 of them to raid), just worked. Likely this is a bug in the kernel, where once one partition has been used, it winds up caching the disk label, and therefore some other effect no longer occurs.
Oh:
[root@grouper dev]# uname -a Linux grouper.sandelman.ca 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5xen0 #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 13:58:27 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Why would I make 8 40G partitions on each of a pair of 320G disks? And then raid pairs, and then add them all to an LVM?
Well... imagine that I get some bad sectors somewhere. That means that my RAID will get degraded to single disk. If I want to continue working, and not replace the disk immediately, it turns out that I can find another 40G on another platter rather easily, and raid that together instead of the piece that I lost.
Then I'll look at SMART and other info, and find out if the disk is really dying, and try to get it replaced, but in the meantime, I feel more safe.
If, while waiting for the replacement disk, I got a second failure, in the other disk (both disks are, same vendor, and probably sequential out of the assembly line), then I'd loose everything... unless I can just degrade part of each disk, and keep working.

I finally got around to trying to burn a DVD. It is an ISO image to upgrade an IBM PPC machine that I maintain.
I have
0,0,0 0) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-H10N ' 'JL10' Removable CD-ROM
in it, which I got last fall. Often takes me awhile to install new hardware, because apparently it's a good idea to turn the power off first. That involves a reboot... which my computers almost never do.
I tried cdrecord, and got a message telling me I should use "ProDVD", which is a binary-only program from the author of cdrecord. Hmph. I don't think so.
After some searching, I did:
growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=HMC_Recovery_V6R1.0_1.iso

Some thoughts on the BSD license
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20070114093427179
writes some interesting things... which I excerpt:
4.2 Clause 3 simply talks about Redistributions of source code. A distribution of modified source is a distribution of source code, so clause 3 applies a copy of these terms must be included with the modified source code. The wording does not support identification of a specific subset of the source code (ie the portion which is unmodified) for the license to apply to. Assuming our analysis above applies, then by including the license terms with the modified source code will make those terms (in particular, the rights to distribute and use in clause 2) apply to the whole of the modified source code as redistributed.
...
6. Can BSD Code be Licensed Under a Different License/Closed Source License?
6.1 We asserted above the collective wisdom that BSD code can be licensed under other licenses. There does not appear to be any basis for this wisdom in the terms of the license. Further, the terms of the BSD license do not appear to allow more restrictive licensing terms. This is not to say that the BSD terms forbid them. Rather, the BSD's usage and distribution rights are so broad, that additional (parallel) restrictions would appear to be ineffective.15 There is not even any basis on which modifications to the code can be used to leverage a different license16 because, as we have concluded above, (if part of a redistribution) those parts which are the original with or without modification must be licensed under the BSD terms.
...
(d) when a company incorporates BSD code into some software, then (to the extent the binaries are modifications of that BSD code) the company is, by assumption, required to license that software (including their own modifications and the source code for their modifications) under the terms of the BSD. We saw above that this does not mean that the source code must be released at all. However, what of the situation where the source code subsequently becomes available? If that was the case, would there be no copyright infringement for copying and distributing that source code? This is discussed further below;
...
9.3 We must therefore pose the question can an employee (or, more likely, an ex- or soon-to-be-ex employee) who has access to the modified source code disclose that source code to others if they acquire a copy of the released BSD binary (i.e. as released by the organization)? Even without this requirement, if the license of a binary version can affect the confidential nature of the source code for that version, then, depending on the timing, this may affect the ability to apply for patents which relate to the source code version.

Forbes acknowledges GPL as significant
There was a recent article in Forbes magazine attacking the GPL and Richard Stallman. Of course, there was a response on slashdot:
A colleague found the following, very astute response, which I'm copying here:
I consider the GPLv2 to be less free than the BSD license in precisely the same way as living in a country with a constitution and laws is less free than living in a country without them. Which of those two countries would you rather live in? I know which I'd rather live in. The GPL is a statement of the rules under which we are all free.
And the GPLv3's insistence that I be able to replace the GPL code in my Tivo with my own versions seems to me like a restriction much along the same lines. Whether this is an encroachment on freedom that the GPL should be concerned with is open to debate. But that restricting my ability to do this is an encroachment on my freedom is not open to debate.
- by Omnifarious (11933)
I could not agree more. I've always assumed that the editors of Forbes magazine were in favour of free markets. Well, perhaps if one remembers the "Steve Forbes 10% tax" one might remember that Forbes is a magazine for rich people. (His tax would not actually have taxed capital gains!)
