[remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git://github.com/chief/global.git pushurl = git@github.com:User/forked.git
Quick hack to rename all prefixed files in a directory to a new prefix
April 13th, 2014loghyr:xxx thomas$ ls -1 pnfswars* | sed ‘s/\(pnfswars\)\(.*\)/mv \1\2 lnfsreg\2/’ | sh
And to do this as a script:
loghyr:xxx thomas$ more reprefix.sh
#! /bin/sh
ls -1 ${1}* | sed ‘s/\(‘${1}’\)\(.*\)/mv \1\2 ‘${2}’\2/’ | sh
Configuring no-ip
September 5th, 2012Can’t install a pkg anymore on Solaris 11
August 18th, 2012If you get this:
root@reno:~# pkg install header-math
pkg: 0/1 catalogs successfully updated:
Unable to contact valid package repository
Encountered the following error(s):
Unable to contact any configured publishers.
This is likely a network configuration problem.
Framework error: code: 7 reason: Failed to connect to 137.254.56.21: Network is unreachable
URL: ‘http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release’. (happened 4 times)
Then go to Building a Solaris 11 repository without network connection which will remind you what to do!
Enable the postfix Mail Transfer Agent
May 7th, 2012I want to use git’s mailing capabilities on OS X Lion to send out patches. How do I configure the MTA?
This Enable the postfix Mail Transfer Agent looks interesting, but old:
loghyr:postfix root# head /etc/hostconfig # This file is going away
But I think we can control all of this from the postfix(1).
loghyr:postfix root# postconf -d | grep etc alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases config_directory = /etc/postfix sample_directory = /etc/postfix
I’m going to need a version for my home network and my vpn network:
loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf home.cf loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf work.cf loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf default.cf
Edit the config files and start it:
loghyr:postfix root# cp work.cf main.cf loghyr:postfix root# postfix start postfix/postfix-script: warning: group or other writable: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
How do I get it to stay launched? What’s the correctly way to make Postfix run permanently on Lion (not server)
I can switch my config files as needed.
Hmm, it works. I can’t show you, but it works.
The main thing I changed from the article I linked in was the relayhost:
relayhost = [mail.internal.excfb.com]
My setup assumes that I am connecting to an already working mail server in the domain. I.e., my iMac isn’t going to be receiving mail, just sending it.
Some cool mutt links to getting it working on OSX
May 3rd, 2012Ha, mutting again
May 3rd, 2012I get tired of Outlook messing with my space alignment when I cut and paste code. I don’t care if I turn off HTML or not, it still does it. And even if I turn off HTML, the Linux-NFS mailing list rejects my posts.
So, back to mutt. The big thing people complain about when I switch back and forth between mutt and something else, is that my “From” flips from “Tom Haynes” and “Haynes, Tom”.
I tried setting gecos_mask in my .muttrc, but no joy.
This worked for me instead:
set realname=”Haynes, Tom”
I don’t care what format it is in, as long as people don’t gripe. :->
After 14 years, LaTeX copy of PhD thesis just works
April 30th, 2012No bit rot at all – sat 14 years on a CD and with minimal effort I was able to get my dissertation built.
Thomas Dunlop Haynes. Collective Adaptation: The Sharing of Building Blocks. PhD thesis, Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, USA, 1998.
I want to contrast that against my Master’s thesis, which I did in Word and which was a major pain in the rear. Of course, I converted it to LaTeX source as well, and I could probably get it posted up here as well.
I could probably get the GP engine code running again and regenerate all of the data from scratch in a fraction of time on the systems I have sitting around the house. Ahh, too geeky!
