This issue came up in the #xdebug IRC channel on Freenode:
18:25 no magic constants for PHP ? 18:27 __FILE__ evaluates to "xdebug://debug-eval"
The user noticed this issue in the Eclipse expression evaluator. A similar issue is also described a few times on the internet:
With the hint in comment 2 in the first URL, I answered the report in an answer on StackOverflow (the third URL). I am repeating this answer (with some modifications) here:
The output you get is not incorrect. __FILE__ is a special constant that gets evaluated at parser time. In fact, even though it looks like a constant, it is really not. When the PHP script gets compiled, it would really read something like this:
// test.php <?php "test.php"; ?>
even though the script source was:
// test.php <?php __FILE__; ?>
This means that after parsing, there is no such "constant" __FILE__ at all, as it has already been replaced.
This means that if you evaluate __FILE__ in an IDE, through DBGp's eval command with eval -- __FILE__ it can not return you a filename that is represented through the __FILE__ "constant". Instead, it uses the filename for the current context which is xdebug eval or in later versions, xdebug://debug-eval.
eval -- __FILE__
xdebug eval
In essence, it's the same as doing this:
php -r 'eval("__FILE__;");'
Which also outputs:
Command line code(1) : eval()'d code
Xdebug looks for this sort of output format, and changes it to xdebug://debug-eval so that it can actually debug into eval'ed code.
__FILE__ works as expected in "normal" PHP source code, as can be proven with this snippet:
<?php $currentFilename = __FILE__; ?>
And after it has been assigned to a variable, you can evaluate $currentFilename in your IDE.
Today we look at a non-code contribution. The PHP project makes snapshots of the current state of the Git repository available through http://snaps.php.net. There is a two hourly cronjob that goes over all the active branches and then builds a .tar.gz, a .tar.bz2 and an .xv bundle.
After the recent branching of PHP 5.6 the snapshots started failing. I have always been involved with making the snapshots work so I had a look to see what was wrong.
I discovered that "somebody" had use the root account to try to fix/change/update things, but the snapshots are build under a different uses, the snapbuilder user. With some file now having been updated by root, the snapbuilder user was unable to read and/or write to those files anymore, resulting in broken snapshots.
I also discovered that the directory that contains the master branch of the code was missing altogether. I can't explain how that happened, but I restored it by cloning a new version from the Git repository. A similar thing I did for the PHP 5.6 branch so that we now also have snapshots for that branch.
At EasyBib we handle a lot of complex JSON documents for all the 59 different citation types that are offered and some more for other parts of the application. Writing custom validation in PHP was trivial and fast to write but looked a lot like code that we wanted to get rid of.
JSON Schema is a solution for validating complex JSON document structures.
The following deck of slides is from the talk I gave about validation with JSON Schema at the december meetup of the Berlin PHP Usergroup.
I gave an introduction to the JSON schema specification and showed how a validation implementation in PHP works.

Today we start with bugs in PHP's Date/Time extension. There are a fair amount of them and they require some hard needed attention. So this post addresses a number of bugs.
As usual I started with the most recently filed bugs and ran into bug #63776, which turned out to not be a bug. Titled "strtotime fails with 'at'" it goes about how a date string with at in it (like in "Nov 19, 2012 at 7:03 PM") does not get parsed properly with strtotime() (or really any other parsing routing). strtotime()'s documentation page mentions The function expects to be given a string containing an English date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp. The word "try" is quite important here. In general, people are a lot better at this sort of thing than computers, as they sense what is part of the data and what is noise. In this case, the parser routine sees the phrase at as a timezone abbreviation, which it does not understand. And because of this, it refuses to parse the string. If you use date_parse() you will see what it actually parsers out of the string:
"Nov 19, 2012 at 7:03 PM"
var_dump( date_parse( "Nov 19, 2012 at 7:03 PM" ) );
which outputs (reformatted):
array(13) { 'year' => int(2012) 'month' => int(11) 'day' => int(19) 'hour' => int(19) 'minute' => int(3) 'second' => int(0) 'fraction' => double(0) 'warning_count' => int(0) 'warnings' => array(0) { } 'error_count' => int(1) 'errors' => array(1) { [13] => string(47) "The timezone could not be found in the database" } 'is_localtime' => bool(true) 'zone_type' => int(0) }
Which mentions very clearly [13] => string(47) "The timezone could not be found in the database" — the key 13 is the position in the original string.
The next one, bug #64294, with the title "date conversion problem when dst present" turned out not to be a bug either. Simply forgotten that Daylight Saving Time already had gone away for the year. However, I should point out that parsing a timestamp with: $date = new \DateTime('@ 1382954400'); always sets the timezone UTC, and not the configured default. This means that:
$date = new \DateTime('@ 1382954400');
<?php $timestamp = 1382954400; $date = new \DateTime('@'.$timestamp); echo $date-?>format('Y-m-d H:i O'), "\n"; ?>
Will always show a timezone of +0000:
2013-10-28 10:00 +0000
However, there was a bug that needed a fix. Bug #53879, "DateTime::createFromFormat() fails to parse cookie expiration date" talks about parsing a date string such as Mon, 21-Jan-2041 15:24:52 GMT with the factory method DateTime::createFromFormat(). This method takes as first argument a series of format specifiers to signal how the date string should be parsed. It mostly uses the same format letters that the DateTime::format() method uses to output a DateTime object in a specific format.
Mon, 21-Jan-2041 15:24:52 GMT
In this case, the user did not specify his own format, but used one of the predefined constants that is meant for displaying a DateTime object in a format that HTTP Cookies want. The constant DateTime::COOKIE was in fact just the string l, d-M-y H:i:s T. The y here stands for a two-digit year. Specifying the year in two digits appeared in the original RFC 850 but has si
l, d-M-y H:i:s T

If you're a Mac user and seeking an easy way to manage your to-do list, I strongly recommend The Hit List. Here are some of the feature that I like most.
Start entering a new task by simply hitting Enter on your keyboard. Once you typed the task name, hit Tab to select a start date and Tab again to select a due date (all optional). Hit Enter when done. You can select these dates even faster by using shortcuts such as "t" for today, "d" for tomorrow, "dd" for the day after, "5d" for 5 days, "2w" for 2 weeks and even "17″ for the 17th of the month. You never need to touch your mouse.
When your task is complete, hit Spacebar and it will be marked as complete and play a cheerful sound to reward you. Because it's so easy to add your tasks, you'll be motivated to dump everything in there and liberate your mind. Having too many tasks on your mind that you don't write down is an important source of stress. Even if you're not going to do some of them, at least your mind no longer needs to track these anymore.
Writing down all these tasks can quickly turn into a clutter. Organize these tasks by dropping them into lists. For example, I use one list for each client, one for my conference ConFoo and another for all personal tasks. The software also creates an automatic list for everything due today, upcoming in the next 7 days, in the next 30 days and highlights everything that is overdue. On a personal note, I sometimes delete tasks when I realize that they are not important after all.
Overall, this software is lightweight with a clean interface. It adds so little overhead to task management that it's definitely worth using.
I recently updated my workstation to run MySQL 5.6.13. It didn't take very long for things to start breaking, and since I couldn't find any other information about this on the web, I figured this may be useful to someone else.
The main error that started popping up was:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'my_bool' at row 1' in test.php
This exception happens under the condition that you use PDO, prepared statements and booleans.
The easiest way to replicate this, is as follows:
<?php $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test','root'); $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $pdo->exec(<<<SQL CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE foo ( my_bool BOOLEAN ) SQL ); $stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO foo (my_bool) VALUES (?)'); $stmt->execute([false]); ?>
What we are doing here, is inserting a new record in the foo table. The foo table has a field my_bool that's a BOOLEAN. Note that this is also true for BOOL or TINYINT(1).
We use ->execute to supply the value for the bound parameter, but this should work just the same with bindValue.
The way prepared statements are implemented in PDO for MySQL, is that by default every value is cast to a string.
So at one point this will result in the following query:
INSERT INTO foo (my_bool) VALUES ('')
Which was valid for MySQL versions before 5.6. Now this throws an error.
There are two relatively easy solutions. You must either switch to integers (0 and 1), or use bindValue and explicitly supply a type.
<?php // So either: $stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO foo (my_bool) VALUES (?)'); $stmt->execute([0]); // Or: $stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO foo (my_bool) VALUES (?)'); $stmt->bindValue(1, false, PDO::PARAM_BOOL); // 1st param gets value false. $stmt->execute(); ?>

When I started this blog back in 2004, I wanted it to be a single location for me to publish on any and all topics that piqued my interest. However, events that I have planned for the future (more on that later!) make me think it would be wise to split the blog in two: one for more professional topics, and one for those that are more personal.
This existing .com blog will continue to be where I publish regarding technical, development, programming, management, and other professional topics. The new .org blog, will be "everything else," including the political and economics posts that some of my readers love and others loathe.
The non-development-related posts on this blog have already been moved over to the .org location, and will disappear from this .com site soon. Short of adding rewrite rules for *every single post* that is now only over at the .org site, I can think of nothing that will keep existing links to those posts from breaking. My apologies to those of you who are affected. Comments, etc., will be retained.
Pretty soon, I'm going to change the hosting and the theme here as well. With any luck I'll have an announcement thereafter for all the remaining technical readers.
Thanks for your patience, everybody!
UPDATE (9:48pm): Turns out it was relatively easy to select all the post IDs on the .org site and build a list of Apache "RedirectPermanent" directives on the .com site, like so:
RedirectPermanent /archives/6 http://paul-m-jones.org/archives/6
That's courtesy of Apache mod_alias, not mod_rewrite, which is nice.
I was in a discussion with some of the EasyBib developers this week about how to use feature flags with Doctrine Entities, Metadata Mapping and their database.
The problem of feature flags with Doctrine is easily explained: If you add properties for a new feature that is disabled in the Doctrine metadata, then you need to upgrade the database before deployment, even when the feature is not being rolled out for some days/weeks. Doctrine requires the database to look exactly like the metadata specifies it.
You can get around this problem by using the loadClassMetadata event quite easily:
<?php namespace MyProject\Listener; use MyProject\Config\FeatureFlagConfiguration; use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LoadClassMetadataEventArgs; class FeatureFlagMetadataListener { private $featureFlagConfiguration; public function __construct(FeatureFlagConfiguration $config) { $this->featureFlagConfiguration = $config; } public function loadClassMetadata(LoadClassMetadataEventArgs $eventArgs) { $classMetadata = $eventArgs->getClassMetadata(); if ($this->featureFlagConfiguration->isEnabled('super_feature2')) { if ($classMetadata->name === "MyProject\\Entity\\User") { $classMetadata->mapField(array( 'fieldName' => 'superFeatureProperty', 'type' => 'string' )); } if ($classMetadata->name === "MyProject\\Entity\\Something") { // more mapping } } } }
You can find documentation on the ClassMetadata in the documentation or API.
Then if the feature is enabled fore some time and accepted into the pool of permanent features, you can remove the listener and move the mapping onto the Entities metadata.
A while ago I started reading Expert C Programming, a book on the intricacies of C, written almost 20 years ago (in 1994). I can very greatly recommend this book, even for seasoned C developers. Even although I know about most of the subjects addressed in the book, I picked up a few new things as well.
Anyway, the book made me look at my default compiler flags again. I tended not to use -Wall at all, but I've since then expanded my CFLAGS to -Wall -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wmissing-field-initializers -Wshadow -Wno-unused-parameter. When running with the new flags, the MongoDB driver for PHP started throwing (among others) the following warning during compilation:
-Wall -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wmissing-field-initializers -Wshadow -Wno-unused-parameter
/home/derick/dev/php/derickr-mongo-php-driver/bson.c:1069:12: warning: declaration of 'buffer' shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow] char *buffer; ^
At first I found this odd, as I could not find the declaration at all, until I looked closer at the location where the compiler though I had the error:
In file included from /home/derick/dev/php/derickr-mongo-php-driver/bson.c:26:0: /home/derick/dev/php/derickr-mongo-php-driver/php_mongo.h:301:3: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow] } buffer; ^
And this pointed me to the buffer struct:
buffer struct
typedef struct { char *start; char *pos; char *end; } buffer;
This typedef declares buffer into the global scope and therefore the compiler rightfully warns us about this when trying to compile char *buffer; in a function. The fix was to add the prefix mongo_ so that the new name becomes mongo_buffer. The mongo_ prefix is what we use for all the other structs we define as well.
char *buffer;

The hostel is realy nice. Although it is located in an apartment (for me it was a first, but I am not a regular in the hostels), it is clean, the room is very big. Towels and bedsheets are provided. Our room had AC (needed given the heat in Bari in August). However, the bathroom seemed a bit old and not so clean. Also I don;t know if one bathroom is sufficient for 20 guests. The location is also very good, very close to the old city, the train station. The check-in and check out are too strict.

Honky-Tonk lies at the heart of country music. It's all about smoky bars, red-eyed crowds, and loud, loud music (to paraphrase a classic Joe Maphis song), and it's a style that's been the country music standard ever since it first emerged. Though electric guitars were first pioneered in Western Swing bands during the 1930s, it was Honky-Tonk artists like Ernest Tubb who brought them onto the Grand Ole Opry stage and made them acceptable to eastern audiences. Tubb was one of the all-time Honky-Tonk greats, thanks to his deep gravelly voice and songs like "Walking the Floor Over You" and "Waltz Across Texas." But Hank Williams is the one who truly changed the standard of country songwriting with such indelible tunes as "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Honky-Tonk Blues." Hank and contemporaries of his like Lefty Frizzell and Webb Pierce dominated the country charts during the early 1950s, until the arrival of Rockabilly singers led by Elvis Presley. Since then, Honky-Tonk has survived in the music of George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard, and many other great singers. Such '80s singers as George Strait, John Anderson, and Randy Travis all sang fairly straight-up Honky-Tonk, and the whole New Country scene of the '90s is based in varying degrees on the core Honky-Tonk sound. Tracy Byrd, Sammy Kershaw, and Alan Jackson are some of the better Honky-Tonkers of the present day.

Mike spouting some revisionist history this afternoon. He referenced a passage from Torre's new book where Torre said many of the Yankee players felt they had no shot in game 7 of the 2004 ALCS because Kevin Brown was starting. Mike commented that "I knew...heck everyone knew" the Yankees had no shot in that game.
I remember Mike's rant on 10/20/04. Doggy was all over him about the Red Sox finishing off the NYY in Yankee Stadium, teasing Mike about how it would be the worst choke in sport's history. Mike in his most condescending tone said something to the effect that the Red Sox had no shot "not tonight, not in this building, not on this day" (Mickey Mantle's birthday). I guess Torre's tell all book has Mike a little off balance.
Posted 29 January 2009 - 10:29 AM
His show this week has been a complete and utter disaster. He's awful period he reading the Joe Torre book on air on a Tuesday of Super Bowl week. I love both of these guys, but with each passing show it's completely obvious that they are inept alone. I don't care what the ratings say, any person who has listened to the show will tell you how far it has fallen. But it's ok Mike keep believing you don't need a partner.You are exactly right about what this blowhard said on the eve of game 7 in "04.
Posted 29 January 2009 - 10:34 AM
I actually have an MP3 of that show somewhere and Mike was in super arrogant mode before game #7. Somebody should call him and call him out on air.

As Sid Rosenberg mentioned on Imus this morning, Mike is doing his show from the Hyatt this week, which is over a mile away from the stadium. It was apparently his decision to stay away from "Radio Row" this year. It has noticeably affected his guest list. I would imagine that Russo is broadcasting from Radio Row, but I'm not sure. Could Mike's request to stay away have anything to do with him avoiding the drama of being in the same place as Russo? Or is it just "Mike being Mike" and wanting his own space with less crowds?

How Abstinence Serves Me
I responded to his comment and then realized this actually deserves its own post.
How does celibacy serve me now?
It's helping me become congruent.
The next guy I have sex with I fully expect to give me a 100% reliable lifetime commitment. I take ownership for that by saying no to sex with any man who's not offering me that with complete conviction (and of course it needs to be mutual -- we choose each other).
From ACIM: "Do you want freedom of the body or of the mind? For both you cannot have."
I choose freedom of the mind, it is the only real freedom.
I'm not interested in "sex for fun." Because uncommitted sex isn't fun for me. It's painful. I'm interested in sex as an expression of deep, permanent connection and intimacy.
Men who are not offering what I want may as well not even try with me. They won't get anywhere. And yes the decision to be with me permanently must be made beforehand. This "let's just see what happens" is bullshit and a recipe for chaos and pain. It is an expression of incongruence and uncertainty, and it always leads to pain.
I look at how men live their lives. If a man is living his life incongruently, and for example, has left a trail of pain behind him, I am not attracted to him. He has a lot of work to do on himself before he will have the capacity to be a good partner. I used to be attracted to men like that because they mirrored me, but now the attraction to pain is gone.
When I am fully congruent, the man who comes to my doorstep will be congruent also. Our love for each other will be so certain that there will be no doubt.
I am waiting for that certainty, because in certainty there is no pain. Certainty is achieved through congruence. Congruence is achieved by erasing every doubt about oneself. When it is fully achieved, there is no pain and only joy.
That is how abstinence serves me.

This is very interesting. I have a few questions:
1.) So you're saving yourself for marriage?
2.) Would you be open to a committed relationship that includes sex for pleasure, but doesn't have the pre-determined "permanent" aspect?
In my opinion, you really do have to "see what happens" if you plan to grow together and find out if you are truly compatible with your partner.
3.) In the future, do you want to have kids?
Thanks in advance.

This sounds all fine and good. What happens when he honestly agrees and puts all that forward, and then decides later on that he changed his mind? Or you do?
People change their minds. - August 30, 2009 at 6:37 PM

Once that level of congruence is achieved, he could only change his mind if I changed mine.
Minds are joined. Only ego distortions prevent us from seeing this at all times. This is why the more clearing out we do of the debris the more psychic we become.

This is the function of your holy relationship. 2 For what one thinks, the other will experience with him. 3 What can this mean except your mind and your brother's are one? 4 Look not with fear upon this happy fact, and think not that it lays a heavy burden on you. 5 For when you have accepted it with gladness, you will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His Son. 6 From loving minds there is no separation. 7 And every thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the same. 8 Joy is unlimited, because each shining thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself. 9 There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is like itself.
T-22.VI.15. The light that joins you and your brother shines throughout the universe, and because it joins you and him, so it makes you and him one with your Creator. 2 And in Him is all creation joined. 3 Would you regret you cannot fear alone, when your relationship can also teach the power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? 4 Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this gift. 5 For it was given you to be used, and not obscured. 6 What teaches you that you cannot separate denies the ego. 7 Let truth decide if you and your brother be different or the same, and teach you which is true." - August 30, 2009 at 6:47 PM

I feel extremely annoyed when people use threats "You're losing a potential customer here" to attempt to get their way (answering of questions). My willingness to answer personal questions has nothing to do with my coaching, and you have crossed a boundary with me here.
I would feel much more open to answering your questions if you said something along the lines of "I feel sincerely curious about this article and feel disappointed that I didn't receive a response. Would you be willing to answer my questions?" - August 31, 2009 at 8:18 AM

Thanks for your response. To me, it's not about right and wrong. It's about what feels good and what doesn't, and honest communication.

"Once that level of congruence is achieved, he could only change his mind if I changed mine. "
Then by that token, wouldnt it be the case that you wouldn't be able to change your mind unless he did?
Its a catch 22. And saying that you'd both change your minds on things simultaneously at a certain point in time... that seems unrealisted. - August 31, 2009 at 7:58 PM

His mind and my mind are One.
"You who hold your brother's hand also hold mine, for when you joined each other, you were not alone. ... You will not separate. For I stand with you and walk with you in your advance to truth. And where we go, we carry God with us."
When two minds are joined as one for the salvation of the world, they don't change their mind about each other.

This is kind of unrelated, but reading a bunch of posts on here, I'm wondering, for Erika and those that favor polyamory, how is it not the most threatening thing in the world? How do you see the person you care about indulging in sexual activity with another person without you, personally, feeling threatened and jealous and diminished? I just feel really confused and have the hardest time getting my head around that concept.

Hi Erika,
I'm intensely interested in your decision with regards to this article. I have recently come to a very similar decision for myself. I was a little surprised at some of the comments, but then I realized they are the same kinds of things I hear when I discuss this with my friends. I wish there was more support for women who choose to stop having sex until they make a life-long commitment, because it is the most empowering choice I can think of in this crazy, painful world of casual sex.
I feel angry when I get so much resistance and so little support. Where are the like-minded women? Where are the like-minded men? And where were all the nay-sayers when my heart was broken over and over? This is a solution that actually makes sense. But because it challenges belief systems, much of the feedback is negative. Imagine if this became the 'norm'; imagine that women all over the world began to own their sexual power... the world would look like a very different place. To tell you the truth - I feel a paradigm shift coming in through this door. Perhaps with as much dimension and force as the sexual revolution of the '60s & '70s,(which by the way, I see in no way as an opposing stance, but rather as a part of our sexual evolution, just as the next big shift will also be a part of it.)
Personally, I have come to this decision through a lot of pain, and many years of what I now consider casual sex, even though most of it took place in the context of multiple exclusive relationships. I never had a great desire to be married and have kids, and I've led a fairly unconventional life, but now I see how lacking that desire has not served me well - it made it ok for me to continue to approach relationships and sex in a casual way, and now I find myself, after years of repeating the same patterns only to find heartbreak at the end of another road, at the place where I want something very different for myself.
It is a decision to treat myself better, to honor my sexuality, my feminine power, and my body. I woke up one day and my first thought was "the next person I have sex with will be the person I make a life-long commitment to". I really liked the sound of that because instead of the creaky old "saving myself for marriage", which I could never see myself uttering, it had the ring of authenticity. And it was an *I* statement, rather than the other dreaded 'ultimatum' types of *you* statements, ("I'm not having sex with you until you put a ring on my finger" - ugh! never!)
So, I just wanted to share a few of my thoughts about this with you. I'm also interested in your "congruity" ideas. I'm not familiar with ACIM except for a skim here and there. Is that where the idea of congruity stems from for you? I'd love to know where to read more of your thoughts on this blog, or should I just look around and find what I can..?

I only have a moment right now because I'm off to Burning Man but thank you SO MUCH for commenting. I hope you will return and continue to share your much-needed perspective around here. I have many thoughts to share about what you wrote when I return....
Because it's obvious. Look, when the mind becomes clear, as mine is, I can often predict the exact words that are going to come out of someone else's mouth. My thoughts are simultaneous to theirs. It's OBVIOUS that our minds are joined. Only the ego refuses to see this.
I've already got PUA gurus wanting to marry me. So think again. In fact, I've had many "players" who have wanted to marry me despite never having sex with me. Deep down, at a subconscious level that's connected to a higher truth, my abstinence seems to be VERY appealing. - September 1, 2009 at 5:57 PM

Saying that its the case bc its obvious is ridiculous. Such is not an explanation. Logic 100 here...
Foresight from experience with someone is not the same as having our minds as one.
If I can imagine the answer a math prof is about to write on the board just before he writes it, is that proof that our minds are one? No. Its proof that I have sufficient experience with math and its use to figure out a likely answer that is. in that case, correct.
Also, Arguing for or against simultaneous thoughts is pointless as well.... until we reach a level where thoughts can be accurately measured and observed by a 3rd party.
I think its the ego that refuses to accept that some parts of your course of miracles is helpful, yet despite that, apparently not all of it is rooted in reality as opposed to myth. - September 1, 2009 at 10:32 PM
- Marquis said...
so....after all this learning and observation of the PUA society....and you're exactly back at the mindset of scarcity that most women dangle in front of men like a carrot.
- September 2, 2009 at 7:21 AM
sex is just the thing going back and forth between your legs... lol!
for a spiritual chic that reads acim, you sure seemed to have a lots of attachments to sex. i thought acim says there really isnt meaning in anything including sex. are you practicing what you are preaching? think you are making way too much of it? just go and enjoy the thingy between your legs once in awhile.... who cares in the grand scheme of things...what's the big deal.
are you going to be abstinent for the next 10 or 20 years waiting for perfect pua guru to give you 100% commitment? what you really want to do is to lock up somebody forever? where's the unconditional piece of your argument? you might need to re-read that part in acim... lol! cant help myself busting your balls a little ;) - September 3, 2009 at 2:39 PM
- Erika said...
Marquis and Anonymous 2:39 pm,
Do you see how you are projecting here rather than taking responsibility for your own stuff.
With Marquis' comment, it sounds like feelings of "not good enough" when a woman says no to sex, rather than being curious about what is alive in her that would motivate her decision -- and asking rather than assuming.
The result on my end is feeling very unseen and unheard.
This is why non-violent communication is so important. We take responsibility for our own stuff by saying "I feel ______ when I see _________ because my need for __________ is not being met."
Example: I feel frustrated when I read your comments because my need for people to take responsibility for their own stuff and stop blaming, assuming, and criticizing is not being met.
Anonymous at least is asking some questions rather than just flat-out assuming, but notice all the assumptions in the questions, and what I pick up (though I'm open to him telling me his actual experience) is that reading my post triggered a lot of discomfort for him/her as well. - September 7, 2009 at 6:29 AM
you wouldnt have pain if you had no attachments to sex. you had certain expectations associated with sex and when expectations were not met, you felt pain. ask yourself if you are directly from source, is there such a thing as pain? is source judgement-free, guiltless, attachment free, and completely unconditional? you decide for yourself.
even tapping those meridian pts missy :) - September 7, 2009 at 12:40 PM
- Erika said...
Anonymous 12:40 pm,
From my perspective, saying something like "attachment free" is taking the easy way out.
There is a reason why many spiritual traditions frown on casual sex. To many of us, it feels empty and disconnected.
It's easy to say "well, just don't expect anything, then you won't be disappointed," but then my response is "why bother with that kind of sex at all then?" Thus my abstinence.
We do not expect too much from our relationships. We expect far too little.
My work is about transmuting old energy patterns that don't serve us (such as emotional disconnection during casual sex) and reprogramming ourselves for true intimacy, trust, and fulfilment. - September 7, 2009 at 12:47 PM
if you keep tapping those pts, you will be guiltless, attachmentless, and judgement free ;) lol!
hey every relationship serves a divine purpose even though you seemed to be bitching about your fling with entropy. so what both of you got off! what's the big deal? you both enjoyed it right... lighten up kiddo! one reason you feel pain is the thought of him sticking his thingy in others bothers you. truly ask yourself and be honest. does that thought bother you? if it does, then it is your issue. so what if he does? that's what pua gurus do or just many men in general.
you should be able to look at any situation no matter what it is and see it as just an experience in life. no more no less. if you make any more of any experience, then it is you who has attachment to that experience which will only cause your own misery and suffering. take it for what's worth.
actually sit with my response this time rather than just reacting. even meditate on it or even tap it out before responding. it may do you some good. i as well as others do want you to succeed. if you truly grab the essence of this msg, you will be light years ahead of other life coaches :) - September 7, 2009 at 1:31 PM
- Erika said...
I appreciate your concern for my well being, but I don't enjoy being preached at. Your comment feels quite condescending to me, and like a lot of projection. It sounds like you may be preaching at yourself, in a form of language that I call "the poison of positive thinking." (i.e., where we think we "should" be detached but we're really not -- it comes from the logical brain and does not work as a coaching practice).
I don't actually care about him sticking his "thingy" in others, my dear. I do care about being heard and seen and understood. I do care about transmuting destructive patterns so that they come to an end.
Perhaps it would be helpful for you to stop focusing on "fixing" me and start taking responsibility for whatever feelings are being stirred up in YOU that are prompting you to attempt to fix me. I don't see any of what I'm writing as "bitching," and I'm curious what is triggered in you that you characterize it that way.
Around here, we practice non-violent communication, and that means not judging or fixing others but rather focusing on communicating our own experience honestly and taking responsibility for our own stuff. My request is that you begin to do that.
I feel _________ because when I see __________ my need for ________ is not being met.
I feel frustrated reading your comments because my need for people to take responsibility and not point the finger at others is not being met.
Help me heal the world by focusing on yourself, please. Thank you. - September 7, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Life is uncertain, death is certain.

"Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood is on his hands, and so he stands condemned. But it is given you to show him, by your healing, that his guilt is but the fabric of a senseless dream." - ACIM
"Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. 2 You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator. 3 Everything else is your own nightmare, and does not exist. 4 Only the creations of light are real." - ACIM - September 7, 2009 at 5:08 PM

Don Bluth Movies
Fresh out of Brigham Young University, Don Bluth joined the Walt Disney animation staff in 1956. Though he occasionally free-lanced at Filmation Studios, Bluth continued returning to the Disney fold in the 1970s, functioning as animation director on such cartoon features as
Robin Hood
(1973) and
The Rescuers
(1977). In 1979, dissatisfied with the hidebound atmosphere at Disney, Bluth and several fellow animators broke away to form Don Bluth Productions. Only the moderately successful
The Secret of NIMH
emerged from the Bluth factory before he combined his operation with Sullivan Studios in 1986. Disney's inability in the mid-1980s to deliver feature-length cartoons at a faster pace enabled Bluth to corner the market with such films as
An American Tail
(1986) and
The Land Before Time
(1988). Upon the inauguration of Disney's one-cartoon-feature-per-year policy in 1988, Bluth found his audience diminishing. It wasn't simply because the Disney folks had better distribution channels and louder publicity: the animated films of Don Bluth, while technically superb, lack the strongly defined characters and well-developed stories which have always been the hallmarks of the Disney product. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Titan A.E. combines cel and CG imagery in this science fiction saga. In 3028, after the Earth is destroyed by an invading alien race, a tiny number of surviving humans roam the universe in ragtag spaceships, trying to find each other and maintain some sense of community. Shortly before the final destruction of the planet, Cale (voice of Matt Damon) was given a map that would guide him to a space station called Titan, secretly constructed as a last hope in the event of alien Armageddon. Cale sets out in search of Titan and the fabled Ice Planet with the help of his friend Korso (voice of Bill Pullman), the beautiful Akima (voice of Drew Barrymore), and a crew of friendly aliens. Titan A.E. was directed by noted animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and scripted by Ben Edlund, creator of the comic book series The Tick. Other members of the voice cast include Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo, and Tone Loc. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The first feature from the 20th Century-Fox animation unit in Phoenix, Arizona, this is the ninth film produced and directed by the Don Bluth/Gary Goldman duo (An American Tail) and the first animated feature to be made in CinemaScope since Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959). This $50 million animated fantasy retells the story of Anastasia, daughter of Czar Nicholas, beginning with her childhood in 1916 Russia. After Rasputin's curse on the Romanovs, little Anastasia is separated from her grandmother, the Dowager Empress Maria. After growing up in an orphanage, Anastasia emerges as a young woman called Anya. With no clear memory of her youth, Anya encounters entrepreneurs who seek an Anastasia look-alike in hopes of collecting a reward in Paris from the aged Dowager Empress. Despite demonic interference from Rasputin, the three travel to Paris where another problem awaits: the Dowager Empress is now skeptical of the parade of imposters. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Children still seem to enjoy this story about a young girl who was the size of a human thumb. She was kidnapped by a toad, just when she hoped to continue her life with Cornelius the Fairy Prince. This is a good "family film" with few, if any, parts that might be considered questionable for children.

One of the most expensive of Don Bluth's animated cartoon features, All Dogs Go to Heaven was also among the most successful. Set in late-'30s New Orleans, the story centers upon a roguish German shepherd named Charlie B. Barkin (voice of Burt Reynolds), who is killed early in the proceedings by his business partner, Carface (voice of Vic Tayback). Charlie travels to Heaven, and is promptly warned that if he heads back to Earth, he can never return; he does decide to go back to Earth, however, to exact revenge on Carface, who has kidnapped Anne-Marie, a little orphan girl who can talk to Animals.
The film also includes the vocal skills of Dom DeLuise, Charles Nelson Reilly, Vic Tayback, Melba Moore, Loni Anderson, and a host of others. All Dogs Go to Heaven was the first production of the Dublin-based Sullivan Bluth Studios. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add The Land Before Time to top of Queue
Animation producer Don Bluth's fondness for overly cutesy characters and muddy color compositions work to the benefit of his feature-length cartoon The Land Before Time. Littlefoot, a brontosaurus child, must fend for himself when his mother is killed (shades of Bambi). With several other orphaned dinosaurs, Littlefoot seeks out the fabled Great Valley, where food and shelter is plentiful. Along the way, the kiddie dinos learn several vital (and politically correct) life lessons, all the while keeping themselves scarce whenever the fierce tyrannosauri gallumph into view. The cuteness of the characters (emphasized by the voice work) takes some of the harsh edges off the story, which makes the film eminently suitable for younger children; and the smeary color design is ideal for the time-frame of the film, which is set in the turbulent, nature-run-rampant period just before the dinosaurs died out. Apparently they didn't all die, inasmuch as a Land Before Time sequel was released on video in 1994. The earlier film inspired a 1988 Saturday morning cartoon series produced by Ruby-Spears, Dink: The Little Dinosaur. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fievel, however, is separated from his family upon his arrival in New York City, and he discovers to his horror that there are cats in America too (his father said there weren't). Fievel meets his share of friendly and hostile mice, and he eventually befriends a cat as well.

Frustrated with the Walt Disney studio's reluctance to produce full-length animated films, Don Bluth and a number of animators left the studio in the early '80s with the intent of creating movies in the style of Disney's classics. The Secret of NIMH is the first film Bluth produced after leaving the studio. Adapted from Robert C. O'Brien's acclaimed children's book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H., the film is about a widowed mouse whose home is threatened; also, one of her children is gravely ill. On her way to find help, she discovers NIMH, a secret society of highly-intelligent rats who have escaped from a nearby science lab. The rats help the widow to protect her family and home. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

He stumbles upon a lovable dragon named Elliot, and the two become inseparable companions. Elliot is visible only to Pete, leading the townsfolk to assume that the boy is a trifle tetched.

Two fantasy novels by Margery Sharp were combined for in the Disney animated feature The Rescuers. The title characters are a pair of mice, Bernard and Miss Bianca. A little girl named Penny has been kidnapped by Miss Medusa. When the human law enforcement officials fail to locate the child, Bernard and Miss Bianca take over with the help of several colorful animal companions. In classic Disney tradition, the comedy element is offset by moments of genuine terror. Voices are provided by Bob Newhart (Bernard), Eva Gabor (Miss Bianca), Geraldine Page (Madame Medusa), Jim "Fibber McGee" Jordan, John McIntire, George "Goober" Lindsay, Joe Flynn (who died in 1974, not long into the four-year production), and a host of others. It scored at the box office, more than compensating for the $8 million investment and the half-decade of work it took to complete the film. In fact, The Rescuers remains one of the most popular of the Disney cartoon films produced after the death of Uncle Walt. A heavily-computerized sequel, The Rescuers Down Under, appeared in 1990. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Robin Hood is one of the first animated films produced by the Walt Disney Company after Walt Disney's death in 1967. For the film, the studio's animators took the Disney tradition of adding human-like animal sidekicks to established tales (Cinderella, Pinnochio) a step further by making Robin Hood's legendary characters creatures themselves. Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a wily fox; Maid Marian (Monica Evans) is a beautiful vixen; Little John (Phil Harris) is a burly bear; Friar Tuck (Andy Devine) is a soft-spoken badger; the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) is a greedy wolf; and the scheming Prince John (Peter Ustinov) is a sniveling, groveling, thumb-sucking undersized lion with a serpent sidekick named Sir Hiss (Terry Thomas). The film begins after Prince John and Sir Hiss have tricked the true King into leaving the country on a phony crusade. With the help of the Sheriff of Nottingham, they tax the life out of Nottingham's peasants, leaving them all penniless but with the courageous Robin Hood as their only hope. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, Rovi

BIRMINGHAM -- An upscale Detroit suburb's decision to put up a $30,000 artificial Christmas tree outdoors instead of decorating a live tree is attracting some criticism.
The 35-foot-tall artificial blue spruce in downtown Birmingham's Shain Park is outfitted with 22,260 multicolor lights on 298 branches. John Heiney, director of the city's Principal Shopping District, says artificial tree makers are "so good at making them look so realistic."
The artificial tree was paid for by the city's Principal Shopping District, the Department of Public Services and a $2,000 donation from a local business.
Thirty-six-year-old Melissa Vedder of Birmingham says calls the artificial tree "tacky."
In past years, Birmingham decorated a live tree at the park. The artificial tree is to be lit during a ceremony Wednesday night.
We're asking Facebook fans this morning how they feel about the fake tree.

July 29, 2011 Of Pennies and Perfection: What to Look for in a Mobile App Developer [DMA11]
If you've got a killer idea for a mobile phone application that you could market to your customer base as a method of enhancing their experience but don't have the technological know-how to get it done, there's no reason to sweat. All you have to do is hire a capable app developer, and you're set. Mobile marketing conferences are without doubt the best setting for companies interested in application marketing to get connected with program developers who can make their vision a reality.
The selection process, on the other hand, may not be so easy. The fact is, mobile marketing conferences attract hundreds of vendors, and picking the right one can be like trying to find a needle in the proverbial haystack. So what should you look for? Here are a few tips.

Comments about Delta Kayaks Delta 16 Kayak with Rudder:
This is my second boat. I had a heavy poly boat and had to get rid of it for space reasons. Having the space again, I wanted a boat I could get on and off my car solo and one that was significantly nicer. I've had it out thirty times now.
In addition to being light, the boat has proven very reliable. I'm out twice a week for a couple of hours if the winds aren't too high on Lake Washington or Puget Sound. The boat has no problems in waves up to a couple of choppy feet, though I couldn't tell you if it would handle more. I'm too much of a wuss to roll it, so I don't know how hard that would be. I've never even come close to dumping the craft, so I suppose it must be stable. The rudder is handy and easy to get at, though I rarely bother with it.
The hatches are totally workable, despite complaints I're read about the knobs. I like them, and the bungies over the hatches end that debate anyway. The little day hatch up front is excellent and easy to get into.
I love the the cabin fit. The seat back and thigh braces are perfect for me. I'm 5'10 (when I don't slouch) and weigh 160 lbs.
I dinged the boat on day one getting it onto the car, but the ABS plastic has been great regardless. No spreading cracks, unreasonable scratches, etc. The lime green color is also excellent. Oh, and the one I have does have re-entry paddle straps behind the cockpit, which is a nice touch should I ever need to deploy all my emergency stuff.
Sneak 1.7 Seals spray skirt fits it.

Sticky Revision: |
Include testing-security versions on the PTS (Closes: #493189)
Fix sources_to_xml.py to deal with multiple entries of the same source package in Sources file. Uses a pure-python dpkg version comparison code in common.py to select the latest entry. Fixes #559863, #560352 and related for the PTS part.
Handle Binary field over multiple lines.
factorize a new hash_name function instead of hard-coding "liba" convention

add support for displaying pending mentors.d.n upload sponsorhips as TODO items (Closes: #463050)
factorize file opening logic into "treat_sources_file" to avoid repetition of the pattern: f = open(...) treat_sources_file(f, ..) f.close()
Moved implementation of lowThresholdNMU out of sources_to_xml; the previous implementation was bound to the timestamping of sources and hence would have quickly become out of date wrt the wiki page. Being now in other_to_xml the lownmu stamp can be updated independetly from sources.

testing-security doesn't exist yet...
Get ready for sarge, and drop non-US everywhere
Sync: Do some latin1->unicode transformation

A brief on COMSATS International Meeting on Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development, Islamabad,
February 10-11, 2004
by Mr. Hilal A. Raza
Chairman, WEC South Asia
The Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS) in collaboration with the Pakistan Council for Renewable Energy Technologies (PCRET) and the Global Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC) organized a two-day (February 10-11, 2004) International Meeting on Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development in Islamabad, Pakistan. The Meeting was attended by delegations from China, Egypt, Germany, Jordan, Pakistan, Sudan and Syria besides the President and Secretary General of the World Wind Energy Association. The meeting concluded with a resolution to strengthen and promote this sector of vital importance.
Mr. Hilal A Raza, Chairman, World Energy Council South Asia Region, was invited to give keynote address on "Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development - Developing Countries' Perspective". The presentation was much appreciated by all the participants and rated as the best presentation of the meeting. Mr. Hilal A. Raza also highlighted the WEC's role for the promotion and deployment of renewables particularly with reference to the developing countries. He presented a strategy and policy recommendations, drawing strength from the WEC's Handbook on Renewables, for implementation in the developing countries. Most of the recommendations proposed by him have been included in the final recommendations of the meeting which are listed below:
To address the difficulties in arranging funds for projects and ventures, entrepreneurs should be provided innovative financing schemes like micro-credit and should be helped to obtain access to government and non-government funding agencies.
In developing countries where it is not yet so, renewable energy should have the status of an independent Ministry. Renewable energy should be part of the overall national energy mix, and therefore, policies for development of this sector should be incorporated in the integrated energy plan.
Institutional arrangements, regulatory mechanisms and legislative framework for promoting and deploying renewables should be streamlined and harmonized to meet the set targets.
Developed countries should play the role of "public sector for initiating and sustaining the development of the renewable energy sector in developing countries. In this regard, putting additional debt burden on developing countries should be avoided. Special purpose funds from North could be a solution and North-South collaboration should be encouraged.
South-South cooperation is not only essential but could be more effective in terms of sharing of resources and experience so as to expedite the process of developing renewable energy technologies in the countries of South.
Private sector should be invited and encouraged to invest in renewable energy development in the country.
R&D components ought to be differentiated from commercial applications efforts.
Wider dissemination of information regarding incentives for renewables deployment should be ensured and innovative technologies must be examined, experimented and improved.
Developing countries should guarantee local mobilization, and ensure counterparts for transfer of skills and technology.

Email Servers
Information and howtos about email servers such as Postfix, Dovecot, Maildrop, Sendmail
Email was the first "killer app" of the early Internet and today millions of emails are sent every day using a variety of emails servers such as postfix and sendmail. This section looks at how to use and configure email servers for sending and receiving email, mail filtering with services such as maildrop and procmail, and POP and IMAP servers such as Courier IMAP and Dovecot.
Post sort order: Post Date (Newest First) | Post Date (Oldest First) | Alphabetical | Date Updated
Test validity of email address from the command line with exim
Posted June 17th, 2011 in Email Servers and Linux/Unix/BSD
While trying to troubleshoot why email wasn't being delivered to one of my mail aliases on a new server this morning, I discovered a nifty little trick for testing the deliverability of an email address using exim from the command line.
Free POP/110 and IMAP/143 email providers
Posted December 7th, 2010 in Email Servers (Updated January 31st, 2011)
I have compiled a list of email providers here that support POP3 mail access on port 110 and IMAP mail access on 143, and also the big free webmail providers that do not just to round things off. If you know of any other reliable providers please add a comment or email me.
Prevent sender header being added with Exim
Posted February 25th, 2009 in Email Servers
I changed the mail server on one of my machines from Postfix to Exim a couple of days ago and discovered it adds a "sender" header by default if the "from" header is not the same as the user that sent the email. This results in the "on behalf of" sort of from address in Outlook. This post looks at the setting to prevent the extra sender header from being added.
Show the sendmail mail queue
Posted November 2nd, 2008 in Email Servers
To check what is currently sitting in the sendmail mail queue use the sendmail -bp command or its alias mailq. This post looks at basic usage of this command and the output from viewing the mail queue.
Show the exim mail queue
Posted September 9th, 2008 in Email Servers
The exim mail server has a number of command line options including being able to see what's currently in the mail queue. Last week I looked at how to flush the exim mail queue and in this post look at how to view the exim mail queue.
Flush the exim mail queue
Posted September 6th, 2008 in Email Servers
I have the exim mail server running on one of my customer's webservers. Their internal mail server hadn't been accepting mail overnight so they hadn't got a whole bunch of important emails from the webserver and I needed to flush the exim mail queue. A quick read of the exim man page answered my question about how to do this and I thought I'd write a quick post to show how to flush the exim mail queue.
Changing the Postfix maximum email size
Posted August 15th, 2008 in Email Servers
I've recently had some of my customers emailing me large image attachments and my Postfix mail server has been rejecting them. A quick look at the postfix configuration showed the message size limit was the default so I needed to increase it. This post looks at how to see what the current email message size limit is with Postfix and how to change it.
logwatch "postdrop Illegal seek" and "sendmail queue file write error"
Posted May 4th, 2008 in Email Servers and Linux/Unix/BSD
logwatch is a daily process for reporting and analyzing log files and I recently started getting errors on one of the CentOS Linux machines I manage and no daily report. The particular machine gets thousands of bounced emails per day and the mail log files get very large. logwatch had been reporting to me every single bounced email message so the report emails had got very large before stopping altogether. This post looks at the error messages I got and what I did to fix the problem.
Postfix "file too large" error message
Posted March 14th, 2008 in Email Servers
Running postfix on a CentOS mail server I got the following error message both in a returned email and also in the log file: "cannot update mailbox ... error writing message: File too large". This post looks at the erorr message in the bounce email, the log files, and the solution to the error. This error will also affect postfix mail servers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and probably other default installs of Postfix as well.
Dovecot "Cannot allocate memory" error
Posted March 12th, 2008 in Email Servers
Installing the Dovecot IMAP/POP server onto a CentOS 5.1 x86_64 machine I was unable to log in via POP or IMAP and got the error message "imap-login: imap-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory" in the mail log file when Dovecot started up. This post looks at the error messages reported and the solution.
Updating Postfix's virtual alias maps
Posted November 18th, 2007 in Email Servers
Postfix allows you to store virtual alias maps in a text file, which tells postfix how to route virtual email addresses to real users on the system. This setting and the file location is determined in the postfix configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf
like so:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
Postfix SMTP Auth Error "no SASL authentication mechanisms"
Posted November 3rd, 2007 in Email Servers
I have been setting up a new mail server recently with Postfix and SMTP Auth, and got the error message "no SASL authentication mechanisms".
Spamassassion connection refused
Posted October 28th, 2007 in Email Servers (Updated October 28th, 2007)
If you get a message like the one following, then you are filtering emails through spamassasin using /usr/bin/spamc but the spamassassin service is not running. connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused.
Dovecot dead but subsys locked error
Posted October 26th, 2007 in Email Servers
When you restart dovecot, if it won't start up again it's likely the process crashed on startup but left the subsys lockfile in place. This prevents dovecot from starting up again. If you run /etc/init.d/dovecot status
and get the error message "dovecot dead but subsys locked" then you have this problem.
Configure postfix to accept mail from external connections
Posted October 25th, 2007 in Email Servers
Postfix by default on CentOS 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is configured to only receive mail on the local network interface. This is good if you are not intending your server to run as a mail server but is one additional step to getting your mail server running when setting up Postfix.
Installing maildrop on CentOS 5
Posted October 20th, 2007 in Email Servers and Linux/Unix/BSD
I have been in the process of migrating my websites from a couple of dedicated machines to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) which has a fairly minimal base install of CentOS 5 on it. My existing mailserver runs on Gentoo Linux, running Postfix, courier-imap, maildrop, Spamassassin and ClamAV, with the mail accounts and aliases handled by MySQL.
I would have liked to have run only packages available from the CentOS distribution (plus the addons etc) but neither courier-imap nor maildrop are available in the CentOS package trees. Instead I would need to use either cyrus-imapd or dovecot and maildrop was not available at all.
Starting and Stopping Sendmail with FreeBSD
Posted December 17th, 2004 in Email Servers and Linux/Unix/BSD (Updated May 24th, 2005)
Management of sendmail is done on FreeBSD by changing to sendmail's directory (/etc/mail) and running "make" followed by the appropriate command. This either needs to be done as root or using sudo.
Opening port 25 for mail servers with iptables
Posted November 30th, 2003 in Email Servers (Updated October 24th, 2007)
If you cannot connect remotely to sendmail, postfix or other mail servers on port 25 make sure you have the port opened on your firewall. This article deals with opening port 25 with iptables on RedHat Linux.
Sendmail Connection Refused on localhost
Posted November 30th, 2003 in Email Servers (Updated July 11th, 2010)
RedHat often misconfigures the /etc/hosts file when setting the system up and sendmail is unable to send messages, leaving log file messages like "Connection refused by localhost.co.nz".
Sendmail remote connection refused
Posted November 30th, 2003 in Email Servers (Updated May 24th, 2005)
How to enable sendmail to accept remote connections. By default most distributions (or when compiling sendmail yourself) will only allow local connections for security reasons.

This route is notoriously hard to protect, not because there are no placements but because it is very hard to fight the barn-door and see the placements. If it is within your ethics...place protection from the ground. Crux lies about 8 feet above ledge (blue Alien to protect crux in small slot out left (invisible)). After crux place #1-#2 in the obvious hand sized crack and mantle the mini ledge follow the super crack system to the top. Tree anchor.
This route lies driectly right of Pine tree Eliminate. Belay from below a VW-beatle-sized boulder.
See above
I remember this route. One of Jimmy Dunn's. I don't remember it being PG13. I thought it was pretty well protected, and had a pin at the crux.
There is no pin at the crux now, just a blue alien placement in the old pin scar, but you can't see it and there is definitly a bad spot where the placement is not good, hence the PG13 because your gear coule be bad and you wouldn't have a clue. Also the upper section is so lichen covered and unprotectable, a fall from up there would be disasterous.
Maybe someone should replace the missing pin with another pin.
It might have been considered at some point by the crew up in North Conway, althought since it hasn't so far and the route is so infrequently climbed I don't see that happening. Personally I like that this climb is so commiting because of that placement, I like it without a pin and I won't be adding a pin there.
Sure this was one of James' favorite's but he did not do the ffa. Nigel Shepperd and Bill Wayman from the UK were pointed at the route by Ed Webster in 78. agreed though ,much more committing w/o the pin john
i got my ass handed to me on this today.... nothing epic other than my failure haha... but after reading the description i find my self more lost than ever.... i saw no hand crack for a #1 or #2, i was able to place 4 or 5 pieces small (cams and nuts) before bailing and cleaning down the climb... i was climbing the pods in the corner off the ledge am i supossed to be elsewhere where this description would make sense to me? also one of the well chalked pods i used was all crumbling and falling apart... bummer, i was looking forward to this route... any idea what gives ???
Lee, It must just be me. But i would not waste my time on this route, I have never thought it was any good.
haha thanks john, i had that feeling too... but now i just want to understand it...
Burlap and I got on this yestersday, classic route. We climbed the crux as a technical crack route, didn't see any blind placements or trickery. I laced up the bottom and fell on a bunch on the gear so it all seemed pretty good. The exit was tough, then another 50+ feet of tricky 9+/10- climbing. Needs a redpoint from me!
this discription needs a rehab. No pin is fixed and there doesnt need to be a new one, gear is excellent albiet small and akward to place. The 5.10 crack nearing the top after the crux has no lichen on it and is very clean and well protected, I used nothing larger than a .75 and was very well protected the entire time. Excellent route, varied climbing with a "pumped out of your mind from the crux" tricky, crescendo finish.
got shut down on my first attempt last year... today it went... good climbing... protecting was strenuous (there is currently a stuck nut on it though)... the top section was a little dirty but wasnt a big problem...
The description for this route is somewhat misleading. Play Misty is a finger crack and thus protects mostly with smaller gear. The crack widens after the crux and will accept some wider gear (#1 or so) and the upper crack will also accept up to a .75. The only portion of the climb that is a little spicey is the top of the second tier where the crack becomes flared, otherwise IF you can hang on to place the gear, the protection is quite good. Also, Play Misty is stiff for the grade. It makes nearby Airation feel like nursery school climbing.
i agree chris, on pretty much all of your points... i climbed The prow to get the confidence for this one haha... And i dont know what ladd meant by placing your gear from the ground? if i could do that id do it on all the routes i climb haha... i found the crux moves and crux gear placement to be 10+ feet off that 1st ledge...

Rocking out of Hamburg, Marco Niemerski, better known as Tensnake, is the man responsible for 'putting a smile on your face' tracks like 'Hanselstadt' off his Fried Egg EP, which suggests a tropical backdrop for the dance floor in which everyone dancing has one of those drinks with an umbrella in it. Tensnake's latest offering, 'In The End (I want You to Cry)', sees his return to the production of upbeat tracks like 'Can You Feel It'. Tensnake has spent the last several years trying to bring back the 'fun' to the dance music scene. Says Niemerski, 'I just think it's time to put some fun back into music. There's a lot of serious stuff out there.' Tensnake's style can best be described as warm and melodic house with a touch of African/tribal percussion.
