I couldn’t find a review for this screen so I figured I’d post one now that I’ve purchased it. I purchased this on ebay for ~$500, it is also available from newegg. Pros: Great picture and resolution No bad pixels Stand can angle up or down Even though it ships from Korea, I bought from […]
When having MATE and Unity both installed, a conflict can occur with the notifications daemon. The MATE daemon will prevent the unity daemon from starting. The main indicator of this problem (when logged into Unity): pgrep notify-osd returns no process ID volume OSD (on screen display) doesn’t work add-ons like notifyosdconf do nothing OSD theme […]
Without getting into why your seeing this error, here it is: cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libvmwarebase.so.0’: No such file or directory Quick fix: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so.0

Browse to your webapp in chrome, like https://www.evernote.com/ More Tools -> Add to desktop (check box for open as window) Go to your webapps dashboard chrome://apps/ Right click on the evernote icon and “create shortcuts”. Check box for “Application Menu” Go […]

Since I use AWS at work, I wanted to try something else for my personal workstation (this is basically a tmux jumpbox for me). Security: winner: neither? The nice thing about both of these services is that they are very simple to use. Compared to EC2, they are lacking many features, the biggest surprise for […]
This gotcha always gets me and when I google it I get nowhere. Backup all databases: BACKUP_FILE=`/mnt/backups/all_databases_`date -I`-`echo $RANDOM % 1000 | bc`.sql` mysqldump -u root -h 127.0.0.1 –all-database > $BACKUP_FILE Restore a specific database: RESTORE_FILE=`ls -tr /mnt/backups/*.sql | tail -n 1` mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 drop database db_name; create database db_name; exit mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 db_name < $RESTORE_FILE note: when […]
Amazon says that drive encryption in Opsworks is on the roadmap. In the meantime they suggest creating a drive in EC2, adding it to resources, then mapping it to an instance. For my automation, I much prefer to have an AMI with an encrypted volume attached: 1. created instance in opsworks, no application recipes 2. […]
I finally came up with the way I always wanted this to work. Here is my workflow: 1. I run a command in a tmux pane to copy the entire buffer history of that pane. 2. Sublime Text pops open with the text from that buffer, I can edit the text and copy whatever I need to […]
Kibana4 has some great new features but doesn’t include a startup script. Here is my contribution, a simple startup script, tested on debian 7. https://github.com/akabdog/scripts/blob/master/kibana4_init
Because most of the sites discussing this are filled with broken links or mis-information, I decided to add my procedure here. You can download all the files in one zip from here: http://the408.com/downloads/infiniteDisorder_NDS.zip 1. Grab a micro SD card and format it FAT. 2. Extract the file G6&M3DS-R_M74.zip, it will be a folder called SYSTEM. […]
This is pretty easy once you know the right steps: Download “instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip” and “instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip” From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html Extract both files to C:\Oracle (choose merge when prompted) Run C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\odbc_install.exe Create window environmental variable ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\ Create C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora Open control-panel -> administrator tools -> Data Sources -> System DSN -> Add -> Oracle Now install vCenter, when prompted choose […]
These steps will allow you to send a message to a user. Only that user will be able to decrypt it. First acquire the users public key and create a text file with it. vi userName.pub gpg –import userName.pub gpg –list-keys Now create a text file with your message and encrypt it vi lab_creds.txt gpg […]

I’m using a Trendnet TU-S9 which I bought on amazon for $18. It uses the Prolific Driver (PL2303). I chose this one because it works natively on current linux kernels (2.6). Now I’d like to use it on my 13″ Macbook Pro running Lion. I installed the driver from here (snow leopard only) Then I installed […]
