Gotta love StumpleUpon. I came across this article today that walks through step-by-step on how to make a StereoGram yourself with free open source software gimp, blender, and stereograph. The guide is written assuming you’re running on a Debian-based distro (like Ubuntu), but maybe there are other ways to run them in other platforms, I haven’t checked. Anyway, I’ll post my own stereograms soon.
I wrote a short article previously about how to tether the Sprint Mogul/HTC PPC-6800 with Ubuntu. I’ve had to switch back to Windows XP Pro with SP3 sometimes, and this weekend, while at a Marriott I found that I was having difficulty tethering.
I stumpled upon this fairly interesting article and explanation about how a spelling corrector would be coded in Python. This takes me back to Stat 110 at UCLA, and I thought it’s good for me to at least document this find for future reference.
I’ve noticed in the last few weeks that my VPS host this site runs on has been running out of guaranteed physical memory. Apache’s mpm-prefork module might be the culprit.
Documents the details of a custom payment processor written to work with CiviCRM 2.x.
So you’ve installed on your Apache web server PHPMyAdmin, Bugzilla, WordPress, or any other sites that prompt the user for authentication info. One thing about asking for authentication info on websites is that you have to be very careful about how the username and password are transmitted between the browser and the server. Without HTTPS, they WILL be transmitted in clear text, open to all prying eyes along the way. After enabling MOD_REWRITE, I added the following to the configuration…
When I got my Sprint Mogul in Oct 2007, there were posts and rumors online about Mogul’s built-in GPS module, but that it has been deliberately disabled. It was disabled perhaps because Sprint had planned to launch their own paid navigation service which is based on cell tower triangulation. Other posts have said that the hardware doesn’t have this GPS module at all.
With the ever-expanding 3G or 3.5G coverage, it is now quite convenient to use your 3.xG phone as a modem to get your notebook connected. While the process for tethering WM6 with a Windows machine is pretty strait-forward, it may require a bit more work if you have Ubuntu. Here I will try to summarize how I manage to get my Mogul tethered with Ubuntu Intrepid.
As a developer, I have found these tools to be helpful. Some of them are good for any developer, a few are only useful if you do web development. In any case, this will at least serve as a reference for myself should I need to repeat the setup.
