Bring On the New Apple TV - Streaming Service or Not
August 5, 2015
I've been waiting for a new Apple TV from Apple for years, and I've been disappointed each time a major Apple event came and went without one. Plus, I've been waiting for Apple to come along and disrupt the cable/satellite TV bundling status quo with some sort of a la carte streaming service, also to no avail. Now I don't think that second wish matters much at all.

Tech Tools to Make Your Next Move Less Painful
July 13, 2015
My wife and I just completed a move from California to Oregon, and it was far less painful than it could have been, thanks to technology. It used to be incredibly painful to move. While a lot of the pain is still there, technology has advanced a lot since we last moved -- about 18 years ago -- and at least some parts of the process now are far easier.

Apple Knuckles Under to Taylor Swift
June 23, 2015

June 17, 2015

Spotify Ain't Afraid of No Apple
June 11, 2015
Spotify has raised $526 million in its latest round of funding, according to reports that surfaced Wednesday. That's more than half the $1 billion Spotify raised in funding over the past nine years, said Susan Schreiner, analyst at C4 trends. Given that Apple just announced its new music-streaming service, why would companies pump all this money into Spotify?

It's Hard to See WWDC Through My Apple TV Tears
June 4, 2015
By the time you read this, I'll have finished swearing in the privacy of my office, and likely will have entered the acceptance stage of grief. Already, realization is dawning that I was right to withhold hope that Apple would reveal a new Apple TV at its WorldWide Developers Conference on Monday. I hate it when pessimism wins. But how can I know that Apple isn't going to introduce a new Apple TV?
Customer Satisfaction With Pay-TV, ISPs Hits New Low
June 2, 2015
"Customer first" is the motto businesses live by -- or should -- but that doesn't seem to resonate with companies providing pay-TV or Internet-access services, based on ACSI data gathered in Q1 of 2015. Customer satisfaction with information services fell to 68.8 percent, the lowest level in seven years. Subscription-TV services and ISPs are at the bottom of the 43 industries covered by the index.

YouTube Marks 10 Years of Nondisruptive Revolution
April 23, 2015
YouTube on Thursday celebrated its first full decade in business. It was 10 years ago to the day that cofounder Jawed Karim uploaded the site's first video. It was a humble beginning: a 19-second clip of elephants, with Karim declaring that the pachyderms have "really, really long trunks." In fairness, it may have been in keeping with other notable firsts in technology.

Roku Offers Shiny New Streamers
April 7, 2015
Roku, the original "Netflix box," has seen a good deal of its market share divvied up by newcomers with names like "Fire" and "Chrome." However, what Roku has going for it that other streaming device manufacturers don't is freedom. "They aren't shackled to their own content business, so they can offer the widest choice of content -- and a big choice of apps," noted Sky VP Hilary Perchard.
John Oliver Tackles Surveillance in Surprise Snowden Scoop
April 6, 2015
Comedy talk show host John Oliver boldly went where few journalists from the mainstream media have dared to tread, grilling whistle-blower Edward Snowden about his leaking of thousands of NSA documents to the press. He raked Snowden over the coals for not having read every one of the documents, insisting there's a difference between understanding what's in documents and reading them.
Apple TV Won't Go Out on 4K Limb
April 6, 2015
The fourth generation of the Apple TV set-top box won't support 4K video when it arrives later this year, according to a Monday report on Buzzfeed News, which cited unnamed sources in a position to know.

Top Talent Jumps on Tidal Wave
April 1, 2015
It has about 5 million songs fewer than Spotify's streaming library, but the big draw to Tidal is audio quality.

What gives?
Huh. Apparently, during the Bush administration's waning days, Cheney lobbied ferociously for a pardon of Scooter Libby. And Dubya wouldn't budge.
In the waning days of the Bush administration, Vice President Dick Cheney launched a last-ditch campaign to persuade his boss to pardon Lewis (Scooter) Libby - and was furious when President George W. Bush wouldn't budge.
Sources close to Cheney told the Daily News the former vice president repeatedly pressed Bush to pardon Libby, arguing his ex-chief of staff and longtime alter ego deserved a full exoneration - even though Bush had already kept Libby out of jail by commuting his 30-month prison sentence.
"He tried to make it happen right up until the very end," one Cheney associate said.
Again, huh. I wonder what's up there? Come to think of it, I didn't hear anything at all about Bush pardons. Anybody know what's going on?

David Fincher is one of the geniuses of modern cinema. Chances are you know him as the director of 1999's Fight Club.
Sadly, Fincher's mind lately doesn't seem to be firing on all thrusters. Consider this quote from a recent interview with MTV.
MTV: You told us about a year ago you were interested in doing a musical.
Fincher: One of the things I want at the 10-year anniversary is to do Fight Club as a musical on Broadway. I love the idea of that.
Clearly, Fincher isn't playing with a full deck — and if he is — they're all jokers. My thoughts are with him as I pray for his speedy recovery.

u 2012 Washington General Election
Mitt Romney
A candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 Washington General Election
Party: Republican
Age: 68City: Boston, MA
Occupation: Venture capitalist; former Massachussetts governor
After a protracted primary battle, Romney won enough delegates to secure the nomination with a May 29 primary victory in Texas. Romney is the son of George Romney, an auto executive who became Michigan's governor and made an unsuccessful White House run in 1968. The younger Romney says he is committed to seeing someone in the 2012 race "who understands the economy." Romney has worked in the private sector for much of his career.
He served a single term as governor of Massachusetts, during which he worked with a Democratic legislature. He passed a statewide health insurance overhaul that President Barack Obama has called a model for his own national health care plan.
He has proven to be a fundraising powerhouse who survived a strong initial challenge from Rick Perry, then a surging Newt Gingrich, then a persistent Rick Santorum, only to watch his rivals flame out while he steadily won state contests.
Romney has already made one run for the White House, losing the 2008 GOP nomination to Sen. John McCain.
He has changed his views on issues vital to many conservatives, including abortion rights, gay rights and embryonic stem-cell research. Conservatives following the presidential race have still not settled on Romney, expressing preferences for candidates they see as being farther to the right.
He has been married for more than 40 years and has has five sons and 16 grandchildren.

Good value for money, for sure. However I've been disappointed by the lack of sound insulation of the room, close to the reception: I could hear people passing by and the TV noise from the reception early at night. This is not optimal for an hotel.

The place was fine except that the price is too high for what you receive. we've stayed in places with bigger rooms, better breakfasts, more toiletries, plus charm and things that make it unique, for much less money. So I was surprised and a somewhat disappointed when we arrived and saw that is was just a basic hotel. Nothing out of the ordinary.

AOC to propose athletes declare no past doping
SYDNEY -- Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates will propose that future Australian Olympic team members sign a statutory declaration saying they have no "doping history."
In a statement Friday, Coates said that in a zero-tolerance approach, "if they don't sign, they don't go to the games, they won't be selected. What I don't want is for the AOC to have egg on its face like cycling has."
Coates will put his proposal to the AOC executive board at a meeting later this month.
The move follows the resignation or firing of Australian cycling officials Matt White and Stephen Hodge. They admitted to doping earlier in their careers following the release of evidence in the Lance Armstrong doping case that saw the American rider lose his seven Tour de France titles.

Suspect charged in casino murder
The suspect linked to the April 5 murder at a Tunica County casino made his initial court appearance on Monday, April 16.
Nathaniel Yates III of Collierville was charged with two counts of murder and one count of kidnapping in the death of Brandi Nicole Floyd, also of Collierville, at Hollywood Casino. Bond was set at $10 million for the murder charges and $10,000 for the kidnapping.
Rivergate Festival: 20 years of Tunica fun
From an event that almost didn't get off the ground in its first year to one that is highly anticipated throughout the North Delta, Rivergate Festival has a compelling story of invention and reinvention in its 20 year history.
In 1991, then Chamber director Brenda Van Cleave and former mayor Bobby Williams hatched a plan for downtown Tunica to host an annual barbecue and arts & crafts festival in the spring. The two picked the third weekend of the month, April 19-20, for the inaugural festival, with a carnival to start on Thursday, April 18. The Chamber conducted a contest to choose a logo, and eventually, three winners were picked: Page Van Cleave, whose logo graced festival caps. Virginia Kittle's entry went on aprons, and Paulette Ellison's, tee shirts.
Jury convicts Cotton
Seventeen years after losing their mother in a long unsolved homicide, the family of Fannie Burks got closure. Joe Cotton of Tunica was convicted of Burk's murder in Circuit Court in Tunica County on Wednesday, April 11, after a two day trial.
In a press conference on May 13, 2009, Sheriff K.C Hamp announced a break in Burks' murder, which had been deemed a cold case. Burks was discovered by a relative at her home in Cottonland Village on April 9, 1995. She had sustained multiple gun shot wounds. At the time, no apparent motive was determined, and no arrests were made.

text: This Saturday, December 1st, from 3:00 PM to Midnight, I'll be exhibiting three of my panoramic photographs at an Open House at Kirwen Art Gallery in Elmore, Ohio. It wasn't a goal of mine to be in an art show, hadn't thought of myself as an artist, but I've got a hunch I'll fit right in, and I appreciate the opportunity. I suspect I'll even enjoy it. * It's my second exhibit of panoramics, so it's definitely still a thrill. Of the three prints that will be on display, two will include motorcycles. One is Harleys (dozens of 'em) lining the main street in small-town Genoa, Ohio; on a Bike Nite this past summer. The other is a 360-degree panoramic of Pemberville's main street, including a Gold Wing parked in front of the local watering hole, the "Animal Shelter." The Animal Shelter was recently turned into a more family-friendly place, so that photograph is already history. The Pemberville shot sold right away too, to the Pemberville restaurant formerly known as the Animal Shelter, now Cherry's Pub & Grub. History, you know... Angle of view is just under 360 degrees, as there was a light pole behind my back that added nothing to the scene, so that portion of the 360 was cropped out, leaving maybe a 355 degree shot. The third shot is the Toledo skyline at night. Interesting shot in a different way. *No bikes, as it was shot in late winter of 2006. But since it was shot from the Anthony Wayne bridge about 100' over the East Toledo neighborhood where I grew up, on medium-format film, it has tons of detail. Foreground you have the Willis B. Boyer lake freighter / museam and the neighborhood, midground you have Toledo's cluster of tall buildings and office space, further out you have grain elevators and construction rigs building the new I-280 single-pylon suspension bridge, and farther away still are oil refineries and radio towers. Above that are the low-hanging clouds, lit by the city lights from below. The overall angle of view is just under 180 degrees. The main thing is they're all local, showing everyday scenes in a new way. The Toledo shot was taken maybe 15 miles from my home, the Genoa shot maybe 10 at most, and the Pemberville shot I opened the door to my apartment and crossed the street. I was helping to get the place ready after work last night, and saw many other photos that are in the show. Several LF contact prints, in particular an 8x10 of a man being shaved at an old-fashioned barber shop where the detail was just incredible. Here's a bit more info on the show: Kirwen Art Gallery, Open House Invite: http://www.kirwenart.com/index_files/Kirwen_Ad120107.pdf Directions to Kirwen Art Gallery in Elmore Ohio: http://www.kirwenart.com/index_files/Directions.htm I intend to be there the whole time. My SO Sharon will be there with me early on, but not all the way to midnight. Makes for a long day, so I don't blame her for not staying for the entire event. Oh, and I just droppped the images off at the gallery a little bit ago. They'll have food, other art and other artists, and you're all invited. I asked about the food - lots of seafood, bouliabaise (I know the word, but don't know what it is), Mexican... and some no-cheese dishes as well. I'm told I just have to bring something to drink. Funny addendum here - mom always wanted me to study design, rather than art. And now look where I've ended up anyway, in spite of her good intentions..... Best, Doug Grosjean NW Ohio

I have heard of BDD (Behavior Driven Development) just recently, and I liked the idea. since I work mainly with C# and .NET, I found SpecFlow, then learned that SpecFlow uses Gherkin and now I feel lost. Where do you find official documentation that tells you everything you need to know about SpecFlow, the same for Gherkin.
In short: is there a book (not blogs and articles) about developing real life (practical) applications using these tools?

Blog: The Balance Sheet
The Denver Post's reporters and editors offer news, analysis and commentary on the latest business, real estate, tourism, gambling and technology news in Colorado.
Sabi Sushi, a downtown Denver sushi delivery service that billed itself as the restaurant without a restaurant, has ceased operation.
The company was started by a trio of Duke University pals that pooled $6,000 to create the online order and delivery service where sushi was prepared in a commercial kitchen then delivered to a drop zone in front of the World Trade Center on the 16th Street Mall.
The goal was to create a clientele of downtown workers willing to step away from their desks to pick up sushi they ordered on sabisushi.com. But the Web site no longer connects, and the last post on the company blog was dated Sept. 30, 2011.
According to Facebook, two of the partners — Shaan Puri and Trevor Ragan — have moved to Brisbane, Australia.

I could not decide how I wanted to present this piece. I cropped it from the original, and had a couple of ideas for it. I finally am happy with it, but I am still having some issues with that pillar on the right, and I don't like the lights being centered... Maybe I will just go and retake it

A great contrast between the light and dark areas. This is really good, well done, but maybe if it were slightly bigger it'd increase the quite 'haunting' atmosphere tenfold.
I like that it looks so desolate. The lighting is excellant .
amazing XD i love stuff like this its haunting kinda spooky yet alluering ^_~

Lancaster City Council usually runs two types of tenders - open and restricted.
Under an open tender procedure all suppliers who respond to an advertisement are supplied with tender documentation which they can return as appropriate. This approach is usually followed when purchasing standard items such as goods.
The restricted procedure can best be described as a two stage approach in which the council invites interested suppliers to undergo a pre-qualification assessment before inviting them to tender. The restricted route is normally used for non-standard or large service requirements where it would not be economic for all parties concerned, if too large a tender field was invited to bid for the work, eg consultancy contracts.

I have updated the cheatsheet at http://steve-parker.org/sh/cheatsheet.pdf – it's still a single-page PDF, or a PNG at http://steve-parker.org/sh/cheatsheet.png, but it squeezes a bit more content in than the previous one had, and is slightly more Linux/Bash biased.
Updated CheatSheetSeptember 5, 2012
What shell am I running?March 18, 2012
Whether you've got an interactive shell session, or are writing a shell script, it is very difficult to be certain. It's better to check for the capabilities that you require.
If you find yourself in a shell session, but don't know what type of shell it is, there are a few ways to find out whether it's Bourne shell, Bash, ksh, csh, zsh, tcsh, or whatever.
The simple answer is that you type in the command
echo $SHELL
which should tell you the path to your current shell; if it's /bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh then it's the KornShell; if it's /bin/csh then it's the C shell, and so on.
However, it's not always that simple; Bash will set $SHELL only if it was not already set, so if you were running csh and use that to call bash, then Bash's $SHELL will still say csh, not bash. However, Bash will set the $BASH_VERSION variable, but that's not really a guarantee that you have that version; it only tells you that there exists a variable which specifies that version. You may not even be running bash at all.
Similarly, some shells (particularly /bin/sh) are symbolic links to others – whether to bash (GNU/Linux and newer Solaris), dash (some Linux distros more recently), or ksh (AIX).
So $SHELL is a useful start, but not at all definitive. You can search for your UserID in the /etc/passwd file:
$ grep steve /etc/passwd steve:x:1000:1000:Steve Parker,,,:/home/steve:/bin/bash $
But there may be many entries containing the text "steve", and you could be using NIS, LDAP, AD or some other authentication mechanism. $UID should be a read-only variable containing your UserID, and you can search your system-specific passwd via the getent command:
$ getent passwd $UID steve:x:1000:1000:Steve Parker,,,:/home/steve:/bin/bash $
However, as my UID is 1000, this would match any line containing "1000" such as an account called "HAL1000". So this should be one way to get your shell:
$ getent passwd $UID | cut -d: -f3,7|grep "^${UID}:" 1000:/bin/bash $
Still, you could have run another shell after picking up your default shell. You can always check $0 – that should tell you how your current shell was called. You don't know what the $PATH variable was when that was called – if $0 says "/usr/bin/zsh" then that's what was called (of course, it is possible that/usr/bin/zsh could have changed since your shell was invoked!). If it just says "sh" then it's whatever "sh" was found first in the $PATH of the calling shell. And of course, you can't find out for sure what state that shell was in at that time.
On a Linux system, "cat /proc/$$/cmdline" should also give a good clue; "ls -l /proc/$$/exe" is better (but not definitive; it may be marked "(deleted)" if it's been deleted, so you should check if it's been subsequently replaced by some other shell.
So – it depends why you need to know. If you need to know for sure, on an unknown system, exactly what shell you are in, then I'm sorry, it's not possible to be absolutely certain. To be reasonably confident, check $SHELL or $0. If you need to be more certain than that, then check for the features you require.
If you're writing a shell script which requires arrays, then define and access an array, check that the results are as expected, and if not, bail out with a message along the lines of "an array-capable shell is expected – we suggest bash or ksh".
rm -rf /February 1, 2012
It is commonly said that Solaris 10 will not allow you to issue a
rm -rf / command. Few get to try it, but it was being discussed in the office today, so I thought I'd try it on a virtual machine.
The classic
rm -rf / gets the message "rm of / is not allowed" and a return code of 2. Some variations get the same, whilst others (such as
cd /; rm -rf .) get no message, a return code of zero, but nothing happens. Here is a transcript:

There's also a Facebook page at facebook.com/shellscript.
Arcade Games written in a Shell ScriptJuly 13, 2011
Yes, it is perfectly possible. Do watch this YouTube Video
Space Invaders – written entirely in the Bash shell, in a 248-line shell script.
The shell is often seen as old hat, hard to use, green screens and no interaction. In my new book, Shell Scripting (http://facebook.com/shellscript), I attempt to throw a new perspective on this; the shell can be used in lots of creative and imaginative ways.
The book also covers creating CSV files to easily plot complex data in spreadsheets, creating HTML as well as parsing HTML documents; I plan to post more updates before its launch on 12th August 2011.
Shell Scripting by Steve Parker. ISBN 1118024486
You can get the code for the game here. The description and explanation is in the book, of course. But at least the code itself is available online for inspection.
Shell Scripting page on FacebookJuly 11, 2011
I have the final pages to proofread this week, ready to go to the printers. It's looking like 576 pages, a little bit over the target of 504 pages, but close enough.
I will update the Table of Contents at http://sgpit.com/book/ once the page count is finalised.
Fork Bomb!June 3, 2011
A few days ago I had to deal with my first ever real-life fork-bombed server.
By logging in to the console, I was somehow able to get a shell (one process). Having got that shell, even though I was root, it was difficult to be able to spawn other processes. It turned out that this was because we had restricted the CPU count on the kernel command line (maxcpus=2) so that a dual processor, 16-core machine had only one eighth of its processing power available. The dynamic change to the nproc value does not take this into account, so this unprivileged user was able to fork-bomb the entire machine.
The first thing you might want to do in this situation is to run ps -eaf. That's another process, and even as root, you don't get to do it. Being Linux, you can see how many processes exist on the system by listing /proc:
cd /proc
echo *
Neither of these commands spawn a new shell, they are both shell builtin commands, so they will work. In this case, with over 69,000 processes, I killed the output before I got too bored. Since there are usually around 200 processes running, that was enough to tell me that something was wrong.
After many attempts, a ps command did work, and confirmed that a certain shell script was being run a lot of times. I couldn't cat that file, and didn't even have its full name (ps truncates output to match the terminal's width). I had the PID, so /proc/$PID/fd gave the filename.
It's not possible to cat the script to see what it's doing, so more builtin commands are required.
$ while read f
> do
> echo $f
> done < /path/to/script.sh
This uses all builtin commands, and tells you what the script is. From there, you may have some insight into what it is doing, and how to stop it.

Long description
The highly eventful Parliament of 1715 was dominated by the political struggles occasioned by the transition to the new royal dynasty, the House of Hanover, following the death of Queen Anne on 1 August 1714. The new parliament should have run a three-year course to 1718, but the passage of the Septennial Act in 1716 extended its life, and that of each succeeding parliament, from three years to seven. The law was not to be changed again until the Parliament Act of 1911 which shortened the period between general elections from seven to five years.
In the months before the elections took place in January 1715, George I, on the advice of his Whig ministers, initiated a near-complete purge of Tories from every level of office-holding. Everywhere, Tories were regarded as potential supporters of the exiled Stuart dynasty, and their places were filled by Whigs whose loyalty to the protestant succession was beyond question.
The Tories attempted to raise their old electoral war cry of 'the Church in danger' but found themselves soundly and humiliatingly defeated. The election did much to give the sanction of legitimacy to the new dynasty. As far as can be ascertained, 341 Whigs and 217 Tories were returned, almost an exact reversal of the result achieved in 1713. Across the 314 English, Welsh and Scottish constituencies, there were around 120 contests, though the voting figures are known for much fewer. Although the Tories lost 19 of their county seats, they maintained their strength in the English and Welsh counties, whereas the Whigs gained considerably in the borough constituencies.
Viscount Townshend, one of the two secretaries of state and chief ministerial spokesman in the Lords, had emerged as the king's chief minister. Leading the Whig ministry in the Commons was James Stanhope, one of the two secretaries of state. But during the first session Stanhope's abilities were outshone by those of Robert Walpole, the paymaster-general, and in October 1715 Walpole – who was also Townshend's brother-in-law – was promoted to first lord of the treasury. The growing dominance of Townshend and Walpole within the ministry soon provoked the jealousy of other leading Whigs, notably Stanhope and the earl of Sunderland. Differences and intrigues over foreign policy led to Townshend's dismissal from the government in April 1717 followed by Walpole's resignation. Sunderland was appointed in Townshend's place as secretary of state. Walpole, Townshend and their parliamentary followers took themselves into opposition, causing an open split within the Whig ranks and opening a period known as the 'whig schism'. The bitte

DELETE FROM Table1 WITH(TABLOCKX, HOLDLOCK);
DELETE FROM Table2 WITH(TABLOCKX, HOLDLOCK);
-- This is a long running complex INSERT operation into Table1
INSERT INTO Table1... SELECT ...
-- This is a long running complex INSERT operation into Table2, based on the
-- data in Table1 and some other ancillary tables
INSERT INTO Table2... SELECT ... FROM Table1...
I want to block all access to both tables
Table1 and
Table2 from the point that the
TRUNCATE commands are complete to the point that they are completely constructed and the changes committed with the
COMMIT. Preferably, even from clients using READ_UNCOMMITTED isolation level and even those performing
NOLOCK queries, if this is possible.
Any advice would be appreciated.
