Just a teaser that a great Archlinux post is coming soon!
The Android Developers blog anounced today that they are offering classes on writing better Android apps. Check it out here
I just upgraded from FreeNAS 7 to 8, and I ran in to some things that I think everyone should know about. When using FreeNAS 7, I didn’t have to make any changes when I used Time Machine on FreeNAS 7 with my mac, it just worked.
But on FreeNAS 8, I had to run this:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Just a heads up.
For those of you that don’t follow my other blog, level2studios.com, it might be news, but I have published my first Android app: AndPache! Read more about it here.
I have been working with Perl a few years now, and it is sad to say that I have just discovered the -c flag. It’s a scripting language, so I always just assumed the best way to check it was by running it. Silly me, if you do
perl -c 'filename.pl'
it checks all the syntax of the perl file for you.
Brilliant!
One of my current favorite apps is ThinkUp, written by Gina Trapini and the community. I have a public ThinkUp installation if anyone wants to see it, available here.
Maybe I have been living under a rock my whole programming life, but I just discovered my new favorite command in the Linux shell: uniq. I discovered this when attempting to write a perl script that would go through a text file I had (about 44000 lines long) to find the one duplicate line.
To find the duplicate line, I ran:
sort LONGFILE.txt | uniq -d
which the output of is just the line that shows up more than once. Than I just opened the file in vim, searched for the string and voila! bye bye duplicate.
I would just like to point out that I hate the internet on April Fool’s Day. Yeah, the jokes were funny the first and second times around, but at this point, it’s just stupid. Stop with the April Fool’s stuff. I like getting relevant news and information on the internet, sometimes even irrelevant information. But totally fake stuff (besides ONN) is frustrating.
That is my rant for the day.
It’s been way too long since I have done anything here, and I think it’s about time. I am not in school anymore so I can actually promote some of my software.
So, on that note, more coming soon.
