Jeni Tennison: it became clear that there were several places where having some kind of standard method for building a tree from non-well-formed XML would be beneficial...So the XML Error Recovery Community Group has been set up for this purpose.
Add commentIntertwingly.net is moving to DreamHost. I’m sure that every one of my scripts has hard coded paths or depend on the server being in EST/EDT or will otherwise break for unanticipated (but in retrospect entirely obvious) reasons. I don’t believe that I will lose any email in the process, but you never know.
My @apache.org email address will not be affected by this move.
Alex Russell: @glazou being entirely reasonable in the face of vendor-driven CRAZY (implementing other people’s prefixes): glazman.org/weblog/dotclea… Via @phae.
Alex, I think you need to move up the food chain a little.
The root-cause is vendor-driven advocacy directed at content producers which encourages them to produce compelling content using experimental features. Everything else is consequences. If you believe that those consequences are CRAZY, then you must conclude that the root-cause is CRAZY.

Clearly if you want to develop a real web application, you need a router, a templating language, ability to separate out your model, view, and controller, scalability, and much more.
However, at times this is both too much, and yet not enough. I find that I write a lot of scripts that do report generation, execution of shell commands, and the like, and in many cases would like to present a richer output than plain text: things like tables, fonts, and most importantly hypertext links. I’ve been extracting some of the common logic from these scripts out into a library, and recently have started refactoring that library.
2 commentsProblem: I’m not always at the machine that is VPN’ed into work.
Solution: place the following into /etc/network/if-up.d/sametime-forwarder:
#!/bin/sh # # redirect Sametime's port 1533 to messaging.ibm.com # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # turns on forwarding iptables -F -t nat # Flush existing translation tables iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1533 -j DNAT --to 9.17.136.77:1533 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADEAdd comment
David Heinemeier Hansson: there’s a brand new 3.2-compatible version of Agile Web Development with Rails.
This time, the release of Rails 3.2 and the release of the eBook were coordinated.
Add commentNat Torkington: Don’t wait for the time machine, because we’re never going to invent something that returns you to 1965 when copying was hard and you could treat the customer’s convenience with contempt.
5 commentsIt turns out that the following is all it takes to install Debian Unstable in a chroot jail under Ubuntu, and then to log into that jail as root:
apt-get install debootstrap schroot mkdir /tmp/unstable debootstrap unstable /tmp/unstable chroot /tmp/unstable4 comments
If Ubuntu 12.04 if a LTS release, and Ruby 1.8.7 goes out of support in June of 2013, then why is the default still 1.8.7?
Ruby 1.9.2 was released in 2010. Ruby 1.9.3 was released in October of this year.
3 commentsThe git vs svn permathread seems to have reignited at the ASF, and I thought I would describe some of my actual experiences with git in the hopes that it will help anchor the discussion.
13 commentsI wonder how many people who are diss’ing Dart on Twitter and elsewhere have actually tried the building the language?
16 commentsKnowing that Thunderbird was going to be upgraded in Ubuntu 11.10, I took a look at the one extension I use, and found that it was not compatible. I know I could hack it, but if things went wrong down the line, I would rather understand what I was dealing with. Particularly, as my needs are meager: I simply wanted to create a button that would invoke fetchmail.
1 commentAndreas Bovens: we’ve decided to stop throwing draconian XML parsing failed error messages, and instead, attempt to reparse the document automatically as HTML.
8 commentsDave Thomas & Andy Hunt: Rails 3.1 introduces many user-facing changes, and this eBook release of Agile Web Development with Rails, 4th Ed. has been updated to match all the latest changes and new best practices.
Released virtually simultaneously with the Rails release.
1 commentExperiences with a clean install of Snow Leopard on a 2008 vintage mac-mini: sleep/wakeup issues, getting suexec working, RVM, installing and uninstalling MySQL, and playing with Mail app.
3 commentsSqlite3 3.7.4 doesn’t like Mac OSX 10.5.8. Rails 3.1 doesn’t like sqlite3-ruby -v 1.2.5. Neither Best Buy nor Apple will sell me Snow Leopard; not from their Brick and Mortar stores nor online. Nor is Lion an option as upgrading to Snow Leopard is a prerequisite.
If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know. Meanwhile, I can say this: while every previous version of Agile Web Development had screenshots of Safari on a Mac, the next update will have screenshots of Chrome on Ubuntu.
24 commentsOn Monday, July 27th, 1981 I reported for my first day at work at the IBM Federal System Division offices in Gaithersburg Maryland. Much has changed in those thirty years. While I have no immediate plans to retire, I must say that it feels rather odd to be in a position where I could chose to do so at any time.
4 commentsIan Skerrett: Some of those people that oppose the move are promoting ideology about open source software that is just wrong. Luckily I am here to correct them.
1 commentRob Weir: As you have probably heard, Oracle has followed through with their earlier promise to “move OpenOffice.org to a purely community-based open source project.” OpenOffice is moving to Apache. I’d like to offer you my own thoughts on this new opportunity and what it means. I recommend also the insights of my colleagues Ed Brill and Bob Sutor.
