Charles Rosa and Tyler Stinson Join Alchemist Radio Tonight
in Sports
Tonight on Alchemist Radio, I'll discuss UFC 179 and the Jose Aldo-Chad Mendes fight and preview Titan FC 31 which takes place on Friday night at the USF Sundome in Tampa, FL. The card will be headlined by a five round lightweight title bout between Mike Ricci and Yoshiyuki Yoshida.
My first guest is coming off his first professional loss, but has nothing to hang his head about. Featherweight Charles Rosa battled UFC veteran for three rounds at UFC Fight Night 53 in Sweden. It was not only his UFC debut, but he took the fight on a week's notice. Rosa and Siver put on an exciting three round fight that netted each man an additional $50k for winning the Fight of the Night award.
Welterweight Tyler Stinson is a veteran of Bellator, Strikeforce and the WSOF. He has a record of 27-10 and will look to win his 28th fight when he faces Jose Figueroa on the main card of Titan FC 31. Stinson certainly knows how to finish his fights as he has won 19 by KO/TKO and six via submission. They will lead off the televised portion of the card which will air on the CBS Sports Network beginning at 10pm EST. Figueroa is a former M-1 lightweight champion and presents a tough test for Stinson.

Vt. fishing regulations change with new yearDecember 29,2013
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Vermont anglers are going to have a number of new fishing opportunities in the new year.
Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry says a series of new fishing regulations will greatly expand angling opportunities and help promote open-water fishing.
The new regulations will give opportunities for year-round fishing.
The department says 11 new river sections will have catch-and-release trout fishing with artificial flies or lures outside of the normal trout fishing season, opening more than 70 miles of river to year-round trout fishing.
In addition, open water catch-and-release bass fishing will be possible for all lakes, ponds and reservoirs not listed as "seasonally closed waters." The rule does not apply to ice fishing.
Details of the new regulations are available on the department's website.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...

REGINA — The provincial NDP has a slew of questions on the stalled smart meter program — and it wants an independent investigator to answer them.
Party leader Cam Broten called on the government Friday to enlist the provincial auditor to examine how SaskPower's smart meter program ended up halted, with its 105,000 already-installed units being replaced over safety concerns.
"I think to truly get to the bottom of this mess, we should have a truly independent investigation, and the provincial auditor is the best person to do that investigation," said Broten.
Premier Brad Wall said Thursday that in addition to SaskPower's internal review into the program, the government has ordered the Crown Investment Corporation (CIC) to investigate the matter.
"I think we need one more degree of independence from SaskPower," said Wall.
But Broten likens giving the assignment to the holding company for Crown corporations to the government investigating itself.
Minister Bill Boyd, who is responsible for SaskPower, said in a written statement that the CIC investigation "will include independent industry experts who will be provided broad parameters to examine the concerns that due diligence was done with the procurement of these meters and there was adequate oversight in this case."
The results will be made public, and the CIC investigation doesn't preclude the provincial auditor from conducting one as well.
Neither Boyd nor Wall were available for an interview on Friday.
Boyd announced earlier this week that all smart meters would be removed from homes and replaced by the old model.
The program to date, plus the cost of the recall, is estimated at $47 million. Wall assured ratepayers that the burden of that cost wouldn't fall on their shoulders, and that the government would seek to recover at least some of the money from the meter manufacturer, U.S.-based Sensus.
Those answers don't placate Broten.
He said the smart meter program has lacked transparency and accountability.
Broten is demanding to know the actual cost of the program thus far, suspecting that the contract with Sensus might have already paid out more.
SaskPower and the government have been silent on the specifics of the contract with Sensus, and whether a clause enables the province to recoup any lost funds.
SaskPower approved risky steps along the way, Broten added, such as hiring what the NDP is considering less-qualified, non-journeyman electricians to install the meters. The Crown corporation is utilizing the same installers and U.S. management company, Grid One Solutions, to orchestrate the recall.
The NDP has posed other questions to the government, like why it didn't act sooner when problems with the smart meter program came to light. SaskPower representatives have said the Crown corporation continued pursuing a partnership with Sensus even after it found out about incidents in the United States where its meters had been tied to malfunctions and recalls.
The corporation and Boyd have also said they are unsure if sufficient testing was done on the meters prior installation, especially with regards to how they react in Saskatchewan's climate.
"This government had warning signals on many occasions," said Broten. "And it took something like eight fires on homes before the minister emerged from his cocoon of an office to start talking about this in a serious way. This government has not taken the issue seriously."

This is a great resort! We have stayed here several times. This time, we stayed on the 20th floor in a 4 bedroom. This was sort of a mini family reunion. With kids of several different ages, it was great to have all the pools in relative close proximity to one another to keep an eye on everyone. The unit we stayed in was managed by the resort and they came everyday to clean and change towels. I know that some of the units are managed separately ( these seem to be the ones that get lower ratings). You have to remember these are individually owned condos. I would highly recommend renting directly through Grand Atlantic. One other small thing...I would ask for a unit on the fourth or fifth floor. This way you can park in the deck and be right on the same floor as your unit. Sometimes the elevators are a little slow at peak times. Parking on the same level as your unit is convenient and makes loading and unloading a breeze.

The Monks of the Desert bring Gregorian Chants to the mainstream via Sony Masterworks
Catholic PRWire
Chama Canyon Wilderness, NM (April 10, 2012) - The Monks of the Desert, who spend their daily hours praying for peace, working and studying in silence, have entered the realm of major label music production with their Sony MASTERWORKS debut album "Blessings, Peace and Harmony" which will be released on April 24, 2012.
"Blessings, Peace and Harmony" compiles selections from the Monks' four independent recordings of Gregorian chant, and also features four new chants recorded expressly for this new collection. Named after Pope Gregory I, Gregorian chant involves the early Christian liturgical music that originated in medieval times and forms the roots of Western classical music. Consisting solely of melody, the chants are sung unaccompanied and generally by small choral groups--and through the ages have continuously supplied listeners of all circumstances with a soothing sense of solace.
"The kind of singing that we do calms the spirit and helps us live in peace with our world and with one another," says Abbot Philip Lawrence, a scholar of chant who also leads the Monastery of Christ In The Desert - home to an American order of Benedictine monks from Abiquiu, New Mexico. "Chanting has some strange effect on the brain waves according to various studies," continues Abbot Philip, but this effect is certainly not the Monks of the Desert's objective; rather their goal, and that of Gregorian chant, notes Abbot Philip, is "to focus on the words rather than the challenge of voice production or sight reading. It is always our hope that our singing will bring others to peace, inner tranquility and an appreciation of beauty. These values can help create a world in which peace and tranquility prevail."
The unique vibrations from Gregorian chants are not uncommon to mainstream music and can be found in classic works such as Handel�s Messiah and Ave Maria. As Abbot Philip suggests, science has discovered various health benefits of chanting. In the late 60s, Alfred Tomatis, a French Physician and specialist in the function of the human ear, conducted an experiment with a Benedictine monastery where the monks were suffering from fatigue and depression. Tomatis discovered that a new decree had halted the usual six to eight hours of chanting the monks had previously observed and, within a short time, the monks were unable to perform their duties. When Tomatis suggested re-instituting their daily chanting, the monks recovered quickly and were able to resume their demanding schedule of work and prayers. Tomatis concluded that chanting actually affects the bones of a human being, stimulated at about 2000 Hz. The sounds of chanting, he concluded, are produced literally from the bones, not the mouth.
The Monks of The Desert observe a strict daily prayer schedule called Divine Office, or Opus Dei, which takes place seven times during the day and once at night, starting at 4:00am and ending at 7:30pm. When not praying or studying, the monks run a multitude of self-sustaining businesses including light manufacturing, brewing beer (the only monastery in the U.S. to have a working on-site brewery), an on-site �hotel� where famous celebrities often visit anonymously, a community thrift store in Santa Fe and a separate retail store specializing in hand-crafted religious items, books, music, and folk art.
The Monastery of Christ in the Desert is located completely �off-the-grid� in the Chama Canyon wilderness in northwestern New Mexico, about 75 miles north of Santa Fe and 53 miles south of Chama. The solar-powered facility is surrounded by miles of government-protected wilderness, thus assuring and promoting solitude and quiet for the religious life experienced by men from several nations.
"Blessings, Peace and Harmony" was designed to deliver a solid overall background of Gregorian chant. Approximately two-thirds of the music comes from the Catholic Mass, and is sung in Latin. The Monks of the Desert chose the particular repertoire on the album because they reflect aspects of monastic life throughout the year. The most wonderful aspect of Gregorian chant in a monastic community, concludes Abbot Philip, "is its ability to allow for everyone to sing and yet also provide opportunities for monks who really love music to become more or less specialists. Most of the great monastic choirs have relied on a relatively small number of wonderful voices which are able to sustain the whole choir. Thus, the whole might easily sound better than the individual voices."

A major social science conference exploring the landscape of a 'Changing Wales' within social, economic and political contexts is taking place in Swansea next week.
The Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods' (WISERD) second annual summer conference, will reflect on the institute's interdisciplinary working methods and feature an array of speakers from academia, central and local government, and third sector agencies.
A key topic under discussion at the conference will be an analysis of the economic contribution of major events in Wales, where Rob Holt (Chief Executive of Ryder Cup Wales 2010) will reflect on the value of the Ryder Cup. The session will also look at the wider public policy implications of major events and to developing methodologies to measure the impact of similar events in the future.
Another session will address the concept of 'behaviour change' within a Welsh context. Clive Bates, Director General of Sustainable Futures at the Welsh Assembly Government, will be joined by Cardiff University's Professor Ken Peattie to review the work being undertaken around behaviour change in Wales and its potential to offer improved policy outcomes.
Other themes to be covered over the two-day conference include; Inequality in Wales, Ageing and Place, Poverty and Homelessness, Education and Health in Wales, Migration, Tourism, Citizenship, Criminology and Devolution, Participation and Civil Society, and Skills and Employment.
Professor Charlotte Williams, Professor of Social Justice at Keele University will open the conference with a keynote address on the theme of race and equality in social research in Wales. The conference will close with a special lecture from WISERD Director, Professor Gareth Rees, on higher education, social mobility and locality in Wales.
Professor Rees commented: "The WISERD Conference is becoming established as the major 'shop window' for social science research in Wales, providing an opportunity for researchers to engage across Wales and with policy-makers and the public more widely."
WISERD is a collaborative venture between the Universities of Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Glamorgan and Swansea. Funded by the Higher Education Funding Council of Wales (HEFCW) and the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), WISERD has established itself as a leading centre for social science research excellence since its creation in 2009.
The Conference will feature a pre-conference screening of the film "Sleep Furiously" (2008) on Monday 27th June, 7pm, at the Taliesin Centre, Swansea University Campus. The highly acclaimed film will be introduced by the director, Dr Gideon Koppel, who will also be available for a Q&A session after the film. To read more about the film screening, click here.
'Changing Wales: Social, Economic and Political Perspectives' takes place on Tuesday June 28th and Wednesday June 29th in Sketty Hall, Swansea. A full programme can be viewed here.

Red Ice Creations is an independent intrepid radio program and news website headquartered out of the west coast of Sweden, in the heart of Scandinavia. Red Ice Radio is hosted and driven by filmmaker and researcher Henrik Palmgren. We feature interviews and investigations into a wide variety of topics that we find to be among the most important and interesting. We are dedicated to thought provoking material that questions the established sacredness of our times and we look at the issues behind the headlines and what the mainline media outlets (old media) and many in the "new media" refuse or dare not to look at. We seek truth and accuracy in every aspect of what we cover. We discuss subjects of history, geopolitics, subversive movements, human nature, conspiracies, hidden agendas and sinister political ideologies that are aimed at destroying our beautiful diversity and turn us into an empty global mono-culture. We expose the plans designed to make us malleable and more under controlled. We analyse the enforcement of the "religion" of our times: pathological political correctness, cultural marxism and multiculturalism. We also cover health issues, out of control governments, the application of technology and false science on society, psychological conditioning, propaganda and manipulation. We also analyze the failures of the New Age and Abrahamic religions as opposed to the native heritage, culture and traditions of Europeans and other people.

Swift has said that 1989 is going to be a departure from her previous albums, and with "Out of the Woods," that much is clear, even more so than from her previously released track, "Shake It Off" (actually, let's not talk about that song). (Oh, and: Sally Holmes has a fun dissection of the lyrics of "Out of the Woods," if you're dying to know what it all means.) … Read More

You'd think someone in Johnson's position would know better, but look, surely it's not all his fault — after all, the people making this kerfuffle are nasty liberal-media troublemakers, and anyway, how was he supposed to know not to plagiarize, eh? They never teach you that at the likes of Bob Jones University. Now he's in trouble, and it's not fair! So for the benefit of anyone else struggling with the concept of not lifting other people's work, here's plagiarism, explained in GIFs from a film that anyone sharing Benny's political leanings will love: Forrest Gump! … Read More

Satire or Not, Clickhole Is Still Clickbait
I love The Onion. I really do. I think it's a national treasure, a peerless source of political satire, and it makes me genuinely laugh out loud at least once every time I visit. I wish it every success. Its freshly launched spinoff site Clickhole, though — well, I'm not sure, put it that way. The idea of a site parodying BuzzFeed, Upworthy, and all the other viral content farms that fill everyone's Facebook feeds with cat GIFs and inspirational videos seems laudable enough — but there's something lacking in the execution, and also a feeling that this is a somewhat cynical exercise in luring readers into… well, a clickhole. … Read More

Selenium on several machines was failing with Connection Refused errors. This turned out to be caused by IPv6 entries (for example, "::1 localhost") which were added by a recent MacOS upgrade. Commenting out those entries seemed to fix the problem (or work around it, anyway).
Some people expressed a style preference, in rspec, for "pending" rather than an empty "it" block, to make it easy to search for pending tests. Excessive pending tests may be an anti-pattern. On the other hand, writing pending tests, at least temporarily, may be a good way to sketch out an area of functionality before it is implemented.
We have sometimes found that editing selenium tests (but not other ruby files) in IDEA is incredibly slow (as in, 30 second pauses). Two things to try are removing the gems directory from the project (in favor of just those gems which you need to be able to look at in IDEA), or at least removing the selenium gems. Another such example is that IDEA can be really slow editing the end of a long fixture file. This is probably IDEA 7.0.3 or 7.0.4.
New York Standup 10/1/2008
There is a ruby meetup tonight at Outside In, at 7pm.
For load testing, Load Testing With Log Replay from igvita.com has a review of several common tools.
Pivots patch rails: named_scope with the :joins can cause table aliasing issues
In order to accomplish some advanced search functionality, we've added a lot of named_scopes to our User model. This seems like a good idea, and well within the intended use for named_scopes. Unfortunately, we ran into issues with our :joins. We have a separate User and Profile model, but our advanced search scopes often needed both to make decisions. So we had some scopes that look like this:
class User named_scope :verified { :conditions => {:email_verified => true} } named_scope :answered_questions { :join => "INNER JOIN profiles ON profiles.user_id = users.id " + "INNER JOIN answers ON answers.profile_id = profiles.id" } named_scope :with_name { lambda { |name| :join => "INNER JOIN profiles ON profiles.user_id = users.id", :conditions => ["profiles.name LIKE ?", "%#{name}%"] } } end
Using these named_scopes, we wanted to dynamically construct a finder that would return the results the user was interested, such as:
User.verified or
User.answered_questions or even
User.verified.answered_questions.with_name('Joseph'). The last scope caused issues, unfortunately, with table aliasing. The query ended up joining in the
profiles table twice, in exactly the same way without renaming the table, so mysql rejects the query.
The easiest solution to this problem was to use only the hash form for
:join clauses, such as
:join => :profile. Rails correctly merges multiple consecutive join scopes that use hashes. If you need to use string joins (such as a LEFT JOIN rather than an INNER JOIN) or put a condition directly on your join, then merging goes out the window and the hashed form is immediately converted to a string and all consecutive joins are "merged" by appending them together.
We started by manually aliasing our scopes, but in some cases we were concerned about the amount of duplicate data this was causing in our queries.
We thought about creating a dependency framework for named_scopes, such that you could have a single
:profile scope that other scopes were dependent on and it would only ever get added once. This seemed really difficult because of the way the with_scopes are constructed by named_scopes, there was no good place to keep track of these dependencies, and it would still cause problems if you had a manual
with_scope, or
:join in your
Finally we decided that rails fundamentally lacked the capability to deal with duplicate joins, and that we should solve this problem. It seemed a good solution was to allow
:join options to take an array of strings as follows:
named_scope :answered_questions { :join => ["INNER JOIN profiles ON profiles.user_id = users.id", "INNER JOIN answers ON answers.profile_id = profiles.id"] }
Now calling
User.answered_questions.with_name('Joseph') will create three values in a
:join array, two of which are identical and will be uniq'd out. The downside to this approach is that each value in the
:join array has to be string identical, or it will not be properly uniq'd.
So if you are mixing hash style
:profile joins with string joins of the same table you need to be careful you match the rails generated syntax. We mostly use string style joins to avoid this issue.
Here's the ticket the we filed and patched:
It has been commited and will roll out with rails 2.2. Since then we have filed two more issues related to
:join and
- 1078-using-include-assoc-and-join-assoc-leads-to-alias-issue
- 1104-references_eager_loaded_tables-should-search-tables-in-join-clauses
We hope to patch these two as well!

Solr demystified
As I mentioned in this post, we've decided to set aside some of our weekly brown bags to spread around some knowledge on different technologies via a relatively informal presentation/discussion format. This past week we talked a bit about Solr.
This post covers much of what we discussed, ranging from the introductory to the somewhat arcane. If you're a seasoned Solr user, this may not have much for you. But, you never know.
Solr: wtf?
For people who have never used Solr (me, for instance), I'll start with the obvious question: what is it? At its most basic, Solr simply provides a web interface to the Lucene search engine. It's written in Java and runs as a servlet inside a servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty. The example application included in the distribution package includes Jetty, so you can get up and running relatively easily. You use Solr by sending your requests in the form of XML over HTTP; the responses also contain XML.
For those of you looking for sense in the world, I'm sorry: Solr isn't an acronym, and to our knowledge doesn't stand for anything in particular. It's just a name with a vowel shortage.
You can find the home page for Solr here, a wiki for discussion of all things Solr here, and tutorial to get you started here. Finally, you can download the distribution (the current release version is 1.3.0) here.
But, why?
Let's say you're working on a site to help people find a physician. Users of this site might care about location, age, or gender of each physician. Your site might include how many pending malpractice suits each physician has, how patients have rated their bedside manner, or what magazines they stock in their waiting rooms. As a good citizen of the web community, you want to provide your users the ability to search for any combination of these criteria. You have all the information sitting in your database, so you should be able to search it, right?
Sure, no problem, but in order to ensure quick response times you'll want to add indices on the columns in your physicians table. But, which indices to add? If your table has columns for age, gender, and rating, and you want to allow users to search on any combination of fields, then you need three indices to match all searches:
- age, gender, rating
- rating, age, gender
- gender, rating, age
Keep in mind that indices match from left to right, and will only match on columns included in the query. Thus, if you allow searching on another column you'll need to have eight indices:
- age, gender, rating, mortality rate
- age, gender, mortality rate, rating
- age, rating, mortality rate, gender
- age, mortality rate, gender, rating
- gender, rating, mortality rate, age
- gender, mortality rate, age, rating
- rating, mortality rate, age, gender
- mortality rate, age, gender rating
So, we quickly discover that we need n! / (n – 1) indices to search n columns, and this doesn't take into account range queries. This could quickly get out of hand; Solr to the rescue.
Solr will build your indices for you based on the columns you tell it you want to search, it will keep these indices up to date as you add or change records, and it will do it fast.
More accurately, Lucene will do these things for you. However, Solr allows you to put Lucene on its own server that your application talks to via HTTP. This way all of your production servers can share the same Solr server, keeping searches consistent for all instances of your application.
Next up, performance and such.
The resurrection of the free lunch
At Pivotal we generally have a talk each Wednesday that regards some topic of professional interest. These "brown bag" talks generally involve something to do with interesting projects or new technologies that we might want to use; sometimes we invite speakers from outside Pivotal, sometimes Pivots do all the talking. We nearly always invite folks from outside Pivotal, and we always feed everyone lunch.
Unfortunately, keeping up a schedule of interesting talks takes a not insignificant effort, and most of us here have one or two other things taking up our time. So, sometimes a week rolls around without a scheduled speaker. Or, on rare occasions, a speaker bails or has to reschedule. When this happens we have to cancel our talk for the week, everyone misses a learning opportunity, and no one gets a free lunch.
So, we decided to fill in the gaps with less formal, but still informative, discussions of various topics. We plan to focus on technologies that we use on some of our projects, that some Pivots may know a lot about while others may know less. In short, a chance to spread around some knowledge.
This past week we had our first of these discussions on Solr. I took some notes and will publish some of what we discussed in subsequent posts. Lunch was buffet-style Burmese. Delicious.

Sunday Sunday (3 would be cliché)
This Sunday I am co-presenting at toorcon. The talk that I am a part of is titled Owning telephone entry systems (aka why you shouldn't sleep so well), and will be presented by Josh Brashars and myself. If you're in the greater San Diego area and have time to kill at a security conference, stop by.
I'm releasing a ruby web app as a part of the talk. It's build in sinatra, which has been really fun to play with so far — shout out to nakajima for the quick ramp-up to the frank of ruby's rat-pack at nycrb! The code is on github, and I plan to write about my impressions of sinatra here in the future. No promises, though.
Peer to Patent in its second pilot year
From CNN.com:
Program brings Web's collective wisdom to patent process
"The concept behind the program, called Peer-to-Patent, is straightforward: Publish patent applications on the Web for all to see and let anyone with relevant expertise — academics, colleagues, even potential rivals — offer input to be passed along to the Patent Office.
By using the power of the Internet to tap the wisdom of the masses, Peer-to-Patent aims to dig up hard-to-find "prior art" — evidence that an invention already exists or is obvious and therefore doesn't deserve a patent."
More Peer to Patent articles available on the Pivotal clients page.
Video of Kent Beck's Keynote from RailsConf 2008
Kent Beck gave a great 'story-driven' talk at RailsConf 2008 regarding Patterns, Test Driven Development, and XP/Agile/Responsible development. Go see it now at Blip.tv along with all the other big presentations from RailsConf.
Yeah, yeah. This was posted ages ago, but I just made it around to watching it tonight.
Two great quotes. First, re: TDD
Testing really isn't the point. The point here is about responsibility. When you say it's done, is it done. Can you go to sleep at night, do you know that the software you finished today . . . works. And will help. And isn't going to take anything away from people.
Second, more generally about ideas:
Smart ideas are useless. Nobody else is going to be dumb enough not to try them – or rather, Everybody's going to try them if it's a smart idea. Ideas with punch are the ones that are really ridiculous…until you try them.
Like Mole. Mole sauce. Chocolate? Chicken? Phbbblblltt! HahahaHA!

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all reads all records into an array, which is not good if you have a very large result set. Use a combination of ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute with .each, or .each_hash if you want the same column<=>value mappings you get with select_all, only streamed.
There was some confusion about BlueCloth:
- There's a gem and a plugin available, and it appears that you need to use both
- It seems like the only live BlueCloth development (i.e. where patches should be sumbitted) is here: http://github.com/github/bluecloth/tree/master

- They're not cloned from the dev to test database
- The hosting provider this project is using requires that we submit a change request each time we want to add/change/delete triggers. The problem with that is your trigger changes aren't in sync with your code deployments.
- It wasn't hard to write the application code
During a discussion about humanize, a couple other nifty transforms were mentioned:
- parameterize: You have a string, and you want to strip out characters that aren't url-friendly. (follow the link for good example/discussion)
- auto_link a Rails helper that takes text and links up all urls and email addresses.
Enabling the Postfix Mail Daemon on Leopard
If you want to send SMTP mail via localhost on Mac OSX Leopard (for example, from ActiveRecord/Rails/CruiseControl.rb/etc), you need to run postfix at boot. This took me a quite a while to figure out, so here is what worked for me on a work-imaged box and my personal box. YMMV.
- First, Leopard comes with postfix, but I had numerous issues because I had the MacPorts version already installed on all my boxes for whatever reason. Here are the various error search strings for future googlers:
fatal: file /opt/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter mail_owner: user postfix has same user ID as _postfix
fatal: open /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
fatal: open /opt/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
- So, I ended up uninstalling the MacPorts version:
$ sudo port uninstall postfix
- Strangely, after this, I still get a version @2.5.4 returned by "
sudo port list postfix", even though the uninstall was apparently successful. I don't know enough about MacPorts to know why, maybe this is reporting the Leopard-installed one???
- Strangely, after this, I still get a version @2.5.4 returned by "
- Next, I edited the plist file to start postfix automatically on boot:
$ sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist`
- Add these entries at the bottom, in the 'dict' element
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true> <key>OnDemand</key> </true><false> </false>
- Add these entries at the bottom, in the 'dict' element
- Reboot
- Make sure SMTP port 25 is open on localhost
$ telnet localhost 25
- Look for something like the following, showing you connected successfully on localhost:
Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying fe80::1... telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 citestbox.localhost ESMTP Postfix
- Hit Ctrl-] to get to the telnet> prompt
- Type quit to exit
And that was it! CruiseControl.rb was now sending email from OSX, which was all I really wanted in the first place…
Tips for being more Agile (continued)
I posted a few weeks ago gathering small tips from you regarding how you get and/or stay more Agile.
The goal is a list of short, pithy, sticky aphorisms to help both newbies get Agile and us stay that way. Think Agile Andy's Almanack (or something).
I've thrown everything I got (a lot in person & email) together and categorized a bit. Please comment, add, delete, etc. As I said, I'm working on a presentation around this data and welcome your feedback.
Here goes:
Stick to Conventions
- Follow the local ground rules (indenting, naming, structure, etc.)
- Always take the next story (don't let 'fun' or 'hard' get in the way of business priority)
Use the right tools
- Keep your hand on the manual (Keep browser tabs open for your language & API doc sites)
- Make mini actionable task lists for your story (Get inspired by GTD)
- Index cards are mini whiteboards
- Hardware, hardware, hardware (Big and/or dual monitors, 2 keyboards & 2 mice is better than 1 & 1)
Pair Programming Works
- Expect to Pair
- Pair appropriately
- When you're not sure how to implement a story, pair with someone more senior
- When a task feels obvious, pair with someone more junior or new to the project
- Let the rookie type, give the wookie a toy (so he doesn't)
- Rotate your pairs as often as practical
- 2 pairs are better than 1 on a project
- Always pair interview
Take a test drive
- Writers' block? BEWS (Blank Editor Window Syndrome)? Write a test
- Find some untested code? Write a test.
- Find something you don't understand? Write a test.
- Keep your tests as fast as is practical, or you'll wait for CI to run them
- Write enough tests so that you can sleep at night
Code simply
- Do the simplest thing that could possibly work – no architecture astronauts
- Check-in multiple times before a story is done (try for every hour or so)
- Kill dead code, commented out code, or write tests to cover it
- Make it green, then make it clean
- Tackle code debt with extreme prejudice
- Leave the code cleaner than when you got there (think o2 canisters on Everest)
- Every failing test is sacred
- Red builds are project cancer – fix first, figure out why, then blame (when appropriate)
Stay in sync
- Don't stop talking – to your pair, your team or your customer
- Go to lunch together
Comment away…

November election: Ballot information is in the mail

The Almanac notes that 'In only three local elections in the Almanac's circulation area are there more candidates than open seats: the boards of the Portola Valley School District, the Los Trancos Water District and the Menlo Park Fire Protection District, which serves Menlo Park, Atherton and East Palo Alto.'
This is a sad commentary on the state of our democratic institutions that so few citizens are prepared to serve in public office - millions around the world would give anything for the freedoms which we enjoy and yet we seems to take those freedoms for granted. I am writing from Bhutan where they are actually holding practice elections for their first constitutional elections which will be held next year - these people are stunned when I tell them that no one in my community wants to run for public office.

Lida wins brief for Virgin Holidays DM
Virgin Holidays has appointed Lida to handle its £5 million direct marketing account.
Virgin Holidays: Lida's win consolidates its creative arrangements into M&C Saatchi Group
The agency won the business after a final head-to-head pitch against Archibald Ingall Stretton. Kitcatt Nohr Digitas and TMW were knocked out earlier in a process conducted by Creativebrief.
Lida's hiring consolidates Virgin Holidays' creative arrangements into the M&C Saatchi Group after the recent appointment of its sister ad agency to the above-the-line account.
A review of the Virgin Holidays business began in April. M&C Saatchi was appointed in August to handle the Virgin Holidays advertising account, bringing an end to its "Rockstar Service" proposition launched by MCBD in 2010.
MCBD merged with Dare shortly afterwards and Virgin Holidays moved its entire creative business into Dare's sister agency Elvis.
Virgin Holidays' media buying, currently handled by Manning Gottlieb OMD, is unaffected by the move.Follow @SaraKimberley

Maggie Gyllenhaal is hailed by many as one of the most interesting actresses of her generation thanks to her quirky appeal, unique beauty and seemingly fearless acting. It makes a lot of sense, being that she comes from a family full of filmmakers: her father Stephen is a director (A Dangerous Woman, Waterland); her mother Naomi a screenwriter (Oscar-nominated Running on Empty, Bee Season); and her younger brother Jake, an actor as well (Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain). Maggie was born in New York City, but spent most of her childhood in Los Angeles, where she and Jake attended the prestigious Harvard-Westlake preparatory school. She would later return to New York to study at Columbia University, where she received a B.A. in English in 1999. She also studied briefly in London at the renown Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Maggie's movie career began humbly, as her first six movie credits were small roles in films directed by her father. She received her first big break when director John Waters picked her for a supporting role in Cecil B. DeMented, where she played Raven, a Satanic make-up artist. More roles soon popped up, and Maggie began making the rounds and catching the eyes of both audiences and filmmakers in Riding in Cars with Boys, Adaptation, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, 40 Days and 40 Nights, and Donnie Darko. Darko starred younger brother Jake, and the two played squabbling siblings, fittingly enough.
Both Maggie and Jake have said that there has been sibling rivalry between the two in the past, especially when Jake found fame before Maggie despite the fact that it was Maggie who first decided to go into acting. This rivalry has since dissolved, and siblings say that they turn to one another for advice and support, and that they are each other's toughest critic.
Maggie's breakthrough finally arrived with Secretary, her first starring role in which she played Lee, a sweet but timid young woman who develops a sadomasochist relationship with her employer, played by James Spader. Her skilled performance won her critical praise and many awards and acclamations, such as Golden Globes and Independent Spirit Awards nominations and the Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor.
The stage now set for stardom, Maggie began taking on high profile roles and garnering near-universal acclaim for her performances in varied work such as Mona Lisa Smile, the Julia Roberts-vehicle in which she played the promiscuous yet wounded Gisele, and Criminal as a weary hotel concierge who finds herself roped in her brother's latest con. An outspoken actor who strives to tell stories she feels are meaningful and important, Maggie also took on smaller political projects such as John Sayles' baby adoption drama Casa de los babys and Sidney Lumet's controversial television movie Strip Search, and she performed on stage in Los Angeles and New York productions of Tony Kushner's Homebody/Kabul.
Educated and fiercely opinionated, Maggie has proved that she is not afraid of discussing difficult topics. While on the red carpet discussing her 9/11-themed film The Great New Wonderful at its premiere at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, she was quoted as saying, "I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way, and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt [in the film] allows that to sort of creep in". She drew criticism for the comment, and has since said that she has learned that "neither the red carpet nor an interview about a movie is the right place to talk about my politics. I realize I have to be careful, because it's very easy to misunderstand a complicated thought in a complicated world."
Don Roos' Happy Endings, in which Maggie plays Jude, a wannabe singer who seduces both a father and son, served not only as the opening film of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, but also as a showcase for Maggie's impressive vocal chords. She sings three songs in the movie (including Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"), and is featured on the movie's soundtrack.
2006 is set to be Maggie's year, as six of her movies (made over the course of two years) are to be released by the year's end: animated Monster House, to which Maggie lends her voice for Zee, the baby-sitter in charge of three youngsters who encounter a haunted house; 9/11-centered World Trade Center and the aforementioned The Great New Wonderful, the former an Oliver Stone-directed account of the real-life experience of two officers trapped in the rubble of the Twin Towers and that of their wives, the latter a collection of interweaving stories about life in post-September 11th New York City; Trust the Man, a romantic comedy about two couples who can't seem to get their acts together, Sherrybaby, an independent drama by first-time writer and director Laurie Collyer about a woman recently released from prison who attempts to reconnect with her young daughter and get her life back on track; and Stranger Than Fiction, the latest project from Finding Neverland director Marc Forster, where she plays an anarchist baker who forms a relationship with an IRS agent, played by Will Ferrell, whose life is being narrated by an author struggling with a case of writer's block.
The year is big for Maggie not only professionally, but personally as well, as it was announced April 2006 that she was engaged to boyfriend Peter Sarsgaard, a talented actor (Shattered Glass, Jarhead) whom she met at a dinner party four years back, and she gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Ramona, in October. … Expand

Have gun, will travel — a way of doing business in the criminal underworld that is making it difficult for Calgary police to capture a local gang member wanted in connection with a homicide six years ago. Investigators laid first-degree murder and conspiracy charges against Timothy Chan last July, but he has so far eluded authorities. Police said Monday he may be living abroad under an alias.
The prosecution has dropped an assault charge against a city gang member for an incident allegedly involving another gangster at Calgary Remand Centre late last year. Nathan Zuccherato, 27, an FOB member who faces three separate trials on six first-degree murder charges, was scheduled to go to trial before provincial court Judge Catherine Skene on Wednesday when Crown prosecutor Ryan Persaud withdrew the charge.
Tuesday's stabbing that left five young adults dead is Calgary's largest multiple murder. Here are other multiple homicides that occurred in Calgary and area over the past few decades:
Four gang members facing first-degree murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and other charges will be going directly to Court of Queen's Bench to set trial dates. The men — Nathan Lawrence Zuccherato, Dustin Duke Darby, Nicholas Cypui Chan and Thoai Van Luc — are FOB gang members who were charged last July following a lengthy city police investigation. The men were told the Crown will serve the latest direct indictment on Jan. 13.
Two gang members awaiting trial for murder were hurt during an altercation at the Calgary Remand Centre that sent a third man to hospital. Authorities haven't released many details about the incident, which happened shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Two alleged gangsters recently charged in connection with the notorious triple homicide at Bolsa Restaurant on New Year's Day 2009 have denied involvement in the crimes.
The life-threatening stabbing of gang guru Nicholas (Nick) Chan on April 23 could be the catalyst for renewed eruption of violence between his FOB and bitter rival FK, according to statements made to police as part of an information to obtain a search warrant of Chan's home.
