SSH is the defacto way for working on remote servers. But, isn't it annoying to always enter your password? Follow this tutorial to generate and enable a certificate.


MicroConf - peterlyons.com - 15 years ago - eng
Just a quick note that I'm off to MicroConf in Las Vegas tomorrow. A buddy of mine from Denver Hack Nite is also going. It should be a really fun time and hopefully I'll learn a lot. I've been coding away like a madman (an excruciating 4-6 hours a day!) preparing a little proof-of-concept for the startup idea I'm working on. Can't wait to have it scutinized and hopefully not completely blasted to bits. I'll be blogging and tweeting if t..

E’ di pochi giorni fa la notizia che alcuni servizi API gratuiti forniti da Google verranno chiusi. Tra questi spicca Translate API , la più apprezzata libreria gratuita per la traduzione automatica sul web. Basta una occhiata ai commenti per rendersi conto dello sconcerto generato dall’annuncio, per altro del tutto inatteso. Molti si dicono disposti a pagare pur di non rinunciare alla API, ma non è  questa l’idea di Google che in alternat....

With the fall from grace of the TWiT podcast (less Dvorak and no Calacanis makes for boring shows) I went looking for new podcast’s to keep me entertained over the last couple of months. Here are a few that I highly recommend. Tech Podcast TechZing Live The boys from tech-zing are full of energy, always come up with new stuff and usually manage to do one thing technical each show that makes me want to scream with frustration. All in a..

PHP is a weird language. $x = new Foo(); print $x->bar(); works fine as you’d expect. but print new Foo()->bar(); print (new Foo())->bar(); all do not work. I do not understand how you can build an expression parser, where the code above works, and the code below does not. It’s almost as if $x = new XXX(xxx) a separate case searched for by the parser? I mean if you have an expression parser capable of handling brackets, i.e. (1+2)..



No es una novedad para muchos de mis conocidos que me encantan los gadgets y muchos me podrán tachar de "fan" de todos los productos y servicios de Google, y no ha sido muy diferente con las últimas aplicaciones y tecnologías del megabuscador. Una de esas cosas que me encantan son los teléfonos y tablets y, más especialmente, Android. Me gusta Android porque es un sistema operativo móvil -es decir, no sólo para teléfonos, sino también para ..

The amazing Django documentation recommends that you use Apache and modwsgi to deploy your webapp. While this is certainly not bad advice, you may not want to use Apache after all. Apache is a beast that eats up a lot of memory, is kind of slow and can’t handle as much traffic. As a fun alternative, I would like to talk about deploying Django on nginx using the gunicorn web server. Just a quick note before we start: this isn’t an out-....

Last month I went on a trip to the USA with a group of entrepreneurs from Iceland. We are/were all classmates and teachers in Klak - a kind of school for entrepreneurs - and the purpose of the trip was to visit a bunch of companies and schools out in Silicon Valley, the home of the tech industry. So how was it? well...

Per risolvere il problema mi bastano un paio di minuti” La tentazione della scorciatoia. E’ difficile resisterle, prima o poi ci caschiamo tutti. In alcuni casi isolati vale la pena scegliere la strada più veloce, ma non è certo questa la via maestra. E’ pericolosa e in genere causa più problemi di quelli che risolve. Una scorciatoia può farti risparmiare qualche ora ma i danni causati possono costarti mesi di lavoro.

I really appreciate the links to the source code in the documentation! I was wondering who had added that :)

In Defense of Hobbies - johnj.com - 15 years ago - eng
I’ve been thinking about hobbies lately. Though “hobby” isn’t a word I hear much these days, when I was a kid I thought about my hobbies all the time. In fact, I can subdivide my youth into the various hobbies I was interested in: Model trains Model airplanes Rock collecting Shell collecting and study of fish and ocean life Model rockets Electronics Science fiction Skateboarding Gaming (role playing, military, board games, …) The first ....

I found this blog the other day when trying to brush up on my vim knowledge. I'm getting tired of my editor situation (Long story, used to be a scite man, migrated to e-text editor, then to notepad plus plus, all horrible) and wanted a refresh. Anyways, I was going to start to use pathogen, which is a vim plugin that makes it a bit more easy to manage a few vim plugins (so, a "meta" plugin) when I ran into this tutorial:

Il mio codice è perfetto. Quello degli altri è spazzatura La superbia è un atteggiamento molto frequente tra noi programmatori. Io stesso sono – ahimé – un superbo seriale. Non importa quanto ci impegniamo. Ci saranno sempre colleghi che giudicheranno male il nostro codice, che penseranno di poter far meglio.

This blog post is a summary of my lightning talk at XP2011 I needed to fail with modern methods for requirement gathering in order to understand old methods for requirements gathering. Many software projects write requirements in what is refered to as “user stories”. But a use story is not a story at all. There’s no drama, no action and no resolution. Instead, user stories are often just a bunch of interactions between the user and the syst..

C and I went to the movies to watch Source Code last night. If you haven’t seen it, watch out. This post contains spoilers .

Today was the 2011 HBF Run for a Reason . Despite the fact that I was feeling quite sick on Friday, I pulled myself together for the run. Free Transperth services were running, roads were closed, people’s breath misted through the air in the chill. I went to bed extra early on Saturday (at 8:45pm) and woke up at 5:15am in the dark, padding out of the bedroom so as not to disturb C and sleepily tugging on my running clothes. I would be runn..

And here's episode 2 of the Sig Sauer Saga! In which I attempt to UV map and texture the model from Part 1 . And do lighting and compositing for a decent somewhat photo-realistic render. Take a gander. Feedback appreciated!

VOIP - www.craigpardey.com - 15 years ago - eng

There are many things to consider before switching to VOIP.  My wife and I switched to VOIP in March out of frustration with our phone provider, Bell. After two months of VOIP phone service we’ve decided to go back to a standard phone line. There are many reasons that factored into our decision: It was very unreliable It cost more than a standard phone line It didn’t work with our security system I’ll expand on each of these in detail..

Sul blog aziendale di Expensify il CEO David Barrett ha raccontato perché la sua azienda non assume programmatori Microsoft .NET Framework. In poche ore il suo articolo ha fatto il giro del mondo scatenando un gran putiferio. Gli sviluppatori .NET si sono lanciati in una difesa accorata della piattaforma Microsoft mentre molti commentatori e blogger hanno sposato le tesi di Barrett. Gli oltre 500 commenti danno un’idea ben precisa del fer..

Alongside with the SoundCloud Android app we’ve created a new Java Wrapper for the SoundCloud API and today we can finally release it to the public! It is simple to use, supports OAuth2 and requires a minimum of external dependencies so it should be easily embeddable in both desktop and mobile applications.

Poking my head in here to confirm that I am in fact not dead. I humbly offer this nifty time-lapse video as proof. Started a small project to brush up on Blender skills. Modeling a Sig Sauer P220 in Blender 2.57. The model is low-poly and incomplete (need to finish the other side, the magazine, some bullets, etc.), but it's close. Next up, textures, materials, lighting, rigging, and animation!

In reply to Terry Jones. I work in the Launchpad.net codebase daily. It relies upon a large number of standard and external libraries. Some of the external libraries are installed on the system, some by buildout. Since last year I've been using a script, pyctags, to help generate tags for those libraries I'm interested in (alongside tags for Launchpa..

I’ve been writing applications off and on for nearly 4 years now, since before Django 1.0 was even released. I must say the framework could not be better described than by its own tagline “The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines”. Among the things I love about it are: However, after using the framework for nearly 4 years I’m just now discovering my preferred way of managing environments. I know there’s still a bit of back and....

Sono settimane di passione per il progetto Mono , celeberrima versione open source e multi piattaforma del Microsoft .NET Framework. All’inizio del mese Attachmate (proprietaria di Novell, sponsor storico del progetto) ha improvvisamente licenziato l’intero team di ingegneri al lavoro su Mono. L’annuncio ha gettato nel panico la comunità internazionale di sviluppatori Mono. Dal 2004, anno di nascita del progetto, migliaia di grandi e pic..


Git isn’t just something you have to put up with when working with other developers.
