Live from GoRuCo

Just finished lunch in the google caf. Getting settled in for the afternoon stuff. Starts off with lightening talks…having a good time.

How fricken web 2.0 am I

My Miserable Life

I decided to use Basecamp to manage my personal life as well. So I opened a free account at mymiserablelife.projectpath.com.

Hitting the wall

So I have been plowing though these Goodkind books. I haven’t read a fantasy novel since I was kid, and it’s been a nice change. Until this latest book. Goodkind, apparently tired of his characters has taken a left turn in book 5. It only seems to last for like 200 pages, but it’s a little boring.

twit.el

mah, has been kind enough to make some changes to the twit.el file on the emacs wiki…ah, what a nice diversion. :)

The Perl Machine

Has anyone tried this?

zenoss over ssl

Since Zenoss runs inside of Zope, you have to do a couple of things to get it to run over ssl. There are zope plugins, and perhaps there is another way that Zenoss would recommend, but I have never been one for reading when I can stomp full speed ahead :)

I just created a vhost and used modproxy to proxy all the connections to https:


<virtualhost *:443>
  ServerAdmin bignate@yourwindowsbox.com
  ServerName zen.domain.com
 
  SSLEngine On
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
  <directory />
    Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
  
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
  LogLevel warn
 
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
  ServerSignature On
 
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
</virtualhost>
 

Update: the plugin I use to format code is messing that up

Twitter

Ok, so I wrote earlier about how to post to twitter from the cli. And since then several people have asked me <voice-family: astonished>Do you actually use Twitter?</voice-family>

Heh, well…no. I don’t. But I do. I am using it right now. It’s actually kind of fun to screw around with, and send updates to. However it doesn’t seem to provide any redeeming value other than…well screwing around and bullshitting. I will likely lose interest in it, but I am having fun.

Twitter me while I am still interested! username: bignate

Post to twitter using the command line


curl -u email:password  -d status="Posting to twitter from the command line" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
