This D/W has changed my life! I have a small older kitchen with not a lot of time to wash dishes! I used to spend 30-40+ minutes a day and waste a lot of water doing it by hand. My hands would burn from even sensitive dish soap. My nails were breaking/peeling. Now I spend max. 1-3 minutes a day washing a pot by hand, steak knives, or something not D/W safe. And dishes don't back up like they used to in the small kitchen, taking over counter-tops. I have my sanity back! This dishwasher is great and it's our first one. Our kitchen is small, has VERY few lower cabinets, and a pricey kitchen redo was out of the question, so this fit the bill. I didn't get one for a while b/c a) I didn't know they exist! and b) once I did, I wanted a new kitchen versus this, with a built-in. Man was I wrong...this is full size 24" unit and works wonderfully, only a little louder than built-ins, and not that hard to hookup (one of my major concerns!). Hookup: (I've included pictures!) Take off your aerator on your faucet (only have to do once initially), put on this silver attachment and tighten (barely noticeable), and when it comes time to wash dishes, plus the A/C cable into wall, and put connection on faucet (pull back, push onto faucet attachment, release). Always make sure the faucet's over the sink, not on the lip to prevent water from splashing on counter-tops. After a few tries the hookup is easier. It even has a 'red button' to allow you to use (HOT water) while the dishes are being washed! Cleans dishes beautifully and most important SANITIZES! My son's sippy cups were so dirty, smelly, and nearly impossible to clean by hand thoroughly. I should have gotten it sooner!Extra bonus: the top is a wood laminate which is so easy to clean! And doubles as counter-top. Easy to roll to sink, not heavy to push. Have had it 3 weeks: only tiny issue is the front panel's plastic has one corner that's come apart from the machine slightly but glue is probably all it needs. Only neg: I found it a little hard to take out the hookup cable as it does retract into the unit each day. Daily it's a little struggle but it's doable for the ease of not doing dishes by hand! (I gave this great product 5 stars because as a portable it's A+. The only better would be a built-in.)Buy it, you will not be let down. [...] See my added pictures. I wanted to add more but Abt.com only lets you add two. Inside of unit is STANDARD like any other.To: 'No more dishpan hands': this dishwasher's no different from any other. You can use powder, liquid, or the new 'tabs'. I have used the tabs exclusively and they work great and are a lot easier. I only used the powder when I used up the free sample; powder's a pain.

Bought this for a second home that has a small kitchen.The upper basket is too shallow, not even regular wine glasses can be accommodated. Lower basket is clumsy to load, not much room because center must remain open for the spray arm that telescopes up. Dishes even with the pots & pans cycle very often are not clean even if prewashed by hand. This is not a good product and I thorougly regret having bought it. (What a difference to the Bosch dishwasher that I own - for pretty much the same price!)

Top rack a joke!
By arby
from Hillsboro, WI, United States
Purchased this about a month ago, it cleans well if I use the pots/pans cycle but not so good on the regular cycle. The top rack cannot even accommodate a wineglass, and there is no room for small plates; it is only good for small to medium glasses and cups. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Plus I had to get a service person to get water to flow through the machine before I could use it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great Product

I bought this in July and just love this dishwasher. So much better than my last dishwasher. It gets my dishes spotless.
Not happy with this dishwasher.

We have had this for several months now and we are not happy with this dishwasher. I wish I had went ahead and bought some new racks for my old whirlpool we still have it and are still thinking of doing that because we like it better.

Great machine odd changes
By JohnBL
from Bronx, NY, United States
I got rid of my old version of this machine after 10 years or so when it didn't drain well. The new machine has a bunch of changes that save the company, but cheapen the machine. The fill cap for the Jet Dry doesn't have a see through cover so you don't know if you need to add rinse agent. There are less controls, but this doesn't matter to me. I just fill the machine and it cleans. There is no indicator light telling you the machine is running. This may have saved a dollar for GE but it irritates me. From the changes I suspect that in ten years when I want to replace it GE will probably no be manufacturing this lovely machine. We'll see when the time comes.

great job
By certjailerman
from Cleburne, Texas, United States
Does a wonderful job, just a bit smal l.needs to comega in larger size.
poor design and mediocre performance
By thisisanuisance
from Indianapolis, IN, United States
Although the same exterior dimensions as my previous dishwashers of another brand, this will not hold nearly as much. For instance, the two parts of a standard size pasta cooker will only fit on the bottom rack, requiring removal of the silverware tray; on previous dishwashers, those two parts would fit easily a couple of different ways without removing the silverware tray and with a lot more room left for other items. Cleaning is mediocre compared to those previous washers, and items placed at the corners of the top rack tend not to get cleaned. This machine does not have mid- or top-level spray arms, just a bottom spray arm with a pop-up that requires the centers of both racks be kept clear. The top rack is not sloped or adjustable, so it's very limited. The low-profile tines do not hold most items securely, so plates and bowls fall over.
Works very well

Easy to use and does a nice job with the dishes and pans

|I will be inheriting around 60 acres which is part of a larger tract of 200 or so acres. I have access to all of it. Most of it's cleared, we already have tractors and bulldozer and such. I live about 4 hrs away. For years I have been trying to figure out what to do with it. I see from this forum that it tales awhile to build things up to the point that it produces any kind of income. Currently a relative has about 20 cows on it with a breeding bull. Not sure if we will keep the cows when he gets to be to old to take care of them. I am looking for information or a forum that discusses farm related topics on this scale

|Well, what would you LIKE to be able to do with this land? Do you see it as a mainly one-use type thing such as a dairy farm, or as a multiple-use, live-on-property, gentleman farmer kind of thing, with many varied animals, fruit orchard, vegetable garden, hayfield, etc.? What buildings are on site?
Also, what kind of land is it--flat, hilly, dry, boggy? How is the soil, will it support growth of crops, and what is the year round weather like? IS there an abundant water supply, a stream, a well?
That's a nice chunk of land in this day & age to come into. :) Think about how much it will cost you in property taxes, insurance, etc. when planning what to use it for. Lots of good information here, although lately it's been a bit quiet. We tend to get more of the hobby farmers here, but you could also look into homesteading forums.
Velvet ~:>
|Velvet has very good questions, and your future farming venture should be based on those answers.
If it were mine (and not knowing the answers to the questions above) I would put in a few greenhouses, an orchard, a herd of meat goats to be sold for meat with perhaps dairy goats for making soaps ect for a hobby. Maybe some bees & maple syrup if you have maple trees. All are easy enough to do and can help sustain the farm.
Water on the property would help make things easier.
Once you can determine what you want to do with your acreage, there are specialty forums with detailed information for each segment of your plan.
- Posted by dreamgarden z6 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 10, 11 at 9:00
|If you don't have time to do the work yourself, could you lease the property to someone who can farm it for you?
I have a friend in N. Dakota who inherited 600 acres. They didn't live in the area and let the caretaker run things after their parents passed. They sold 5 prime acres (w/water) to the caretaker who is trying to hound them into giving him more. He is blackening their name in the small town where the farm is located.
If you decide to sell/lease any part of it, make sure you use a lawyer who is familiar with the laws regarding mineral/water rights, etc.

Deutsche Post DHL boosted earnings 50 percent in 2010 from a year ago as the global economic recovery drove strong volume growth and higher freight rates in ocean container, air cargo and express markets.
The German mail and global logistics group earned $3 billion before interest and tax compared with $2 billion in 2009 as revenue jumped 11.4 percent to $71.6 billion from $64.2 billion with lower mail sales more than offset by growth at the DHL logistics unit.
Net profit grew fourfold in 2010 to $3.5 billion, bolstered by the sale of Postbank, a retail bank.
DHL news from JOC:
ATSG Profit Grows Despite DHL Loss
Traffic volume returned to more normal levels in the fourth quarter from steep increases in the first nine months. But revenue increased 12 percent year-on-year to $19.3 billion, driven by the DHL units, and earnings were 12.7 percent higher at $824 million.
"We positioned ourselves at an early stage to be fit for the economic upswing," said CEO Frank Appel.
The company said it expects to make an operating profit of $3 billion to $3.3 billion in 2011.
"We remain fundamentally optimistic about the economy," Appel said. "But we are not euphoric," he said, warning of possible disruptions from uncertainties in financial markets due to Europe's sovereign debt crisis or unrest in North Africa and the Middle East.
With an operating profit of $2 billion compared with $525 million in 2009, the DHL divisions for the first time contributed more to overall earnings than the mail unit which generated underlying earnings of $1.6 billion compared with $1.95 billion in 2009.
DHL's express unit boosted revenue 12 percent to $15.4 billion, driven by the recovery in the global economy and an "intense" focus on international shipments. Following a restructuring, the U.S. business was "particularly dynamic" with revenue surging 25 percent from a year ago.
The restructuring in the U.S., the UK and France helped to lift express operating profit to $1.09 billion from $327 million in 2009.
The global freight forwarding unit boosted revenue by more than $4 billion, or 27.6 percent, to $19.9 billion on "top line" double digit growth in ocean container and air cargo and higher freight rates.
Ocean container traffic rose to almost 2.8 million 20-foot equivalent units from 2.6 million TEUs in 2009, and air freight totaled 4.43 million metric tons compared with 2.6 million tons a year ago.
Air and ocean forwarding profit rose almost 42 percent to $542 million from $382 million in 2009.
The supply chain unit increased revenue 9.2 percent to $129.4 million and swung to a $561 million profit from a year earlier loss of $183.5 million that was largely due to the collapse of a major German customer.

You can remote wipe on any device in Exchange 2010, unless I've dreamed doing it - which is faintly possible!

theres probably an app for the iphone, then again.
You can remote wipe on any device in Exchange 2010, unless I've dreamed doing it - which is faintly possible!
I'd have a word with your local authority too, mine told me they can get a contract for £4 a month with unlimited voice calls to same network, more for data and no handset, but its not too bad.
Blackberries aswell can be setup so that if the passkey is entered in backwards it alerts the police and sends its location gathered via GPS. (not sure how it works but thats how my dads work one does it!)
Our LA mobile contracts are all through Vodafone.
The caretakers, and other various support staff (PSA's, Extended Schools Co-ordinator, Transition Worker) as well as the bookable 'school trips' phone have a basic handset.
The headteacher, Deputy Head and School Business Manager have blackberries. We get sufficient contracts that a lot of inclusive minutes as well as data charges are included - not so much texts.
Must admit the OGC Contracts are very good, I am going to look at our mobile phones after i've finished with the land line call packages which are on my current to-do list as I've done the Phone System Maintenance contract now, so its land lines them mobiles That should improve things as we currently have various options, prices, packages etc so I will need to get more info on the OGC one on my own rather than via the LA buying system as that is quite expensive as I don't want them to be too costly, just a shame I cannot staff purcahse one for my own use as I spend £10 a month on my phone but don't really want 2 phones again like I used to have.....
Thanks for all the feedback guys... Brilliant.
I now have several options in the pipeline... OGC seems to be the way to go.
Will update when SLT choose...
We are with Vodafone, we have 2 Blackberry's, 1 LG Arena (mine), 1 samsung Soul, and 11 Nokia 6300.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Minnesota Lynx seem to have separated themselves from the rest of the league.
And on Wednesday night, a beat up Phoenix team comes to town.
The Lynx, on the other hand, have been healthy and that's been crucial to their success.
"It's still a team with a lot of potential and capability to score the ball," Seimone Augustus said. "We aren't taking anyone for granted."

"These were quick, easy, and delicious. I had to bake for around 7-8 minutes, either because of my oven or high altitude, and I had to squish them a bit after dropping them on the cookie sheet. Next time I think I will make them all butterscotch. Delicious, thank you!"
"Love it. This is the perfect cold weather comfort dish, and it's true about the cheap cheese. Even my mac&cheese wary partner loved it. Thank you!"
"This was heavenly. I used fresh instead of sun-dried tomato, penne, chili flakes and a little extra garlic. I also only had half and half on hand, so it took a little longer. This will definitely get made again, and it helps make use of the giant bottle of Vermouth that lives in the back of the cabinet. Thank you!"

Kids go to the Golden Life Resource Center for not only for tutoring, but also for assistance in planning their futures—the tutors helps them with college applications and job searches. The nonprofit doesn't focus exclusively on kids, though; the team also strives to enrich the lives of senior citizens with resources such as technology training and fitness classes.
At locations all over the country, the tutors of Athena Learning Centers help prep students for academic goals and needs. Their method, Common Core, kicks off with a research-based assessment, followed by building a personalized learning plan to focus on areas that need development. Then, tutors teach academic subjects in one-hour sessions. They also help students prepare for college and the workplace with their "Athena Advantage" program, which focuses on math, reading, science, and exam preparation.
Signature service: Writing Services
Established: 2013
Reservations/Appointments: Recommended
Staff Size: 1 person
Brands Used: Weebly website builder, PayPal
Pro Tip: Have a clear picture of what you want and be able to provide as much detail as possible.
For more than 20 years, the tutors at Grade Success have positioned their students for academic success with services such as one-on-one tutoring and standardized-test prep. The team of teachers, which works both in-person and via webcam, also dispenses college guidance and helms workshops on antibullying tactics.
Courses for Success keeps its digital library stocked with more than 800 personal and professional development courses, including ones in accounting, sales, and computer programming. Online access to each course means students have the freedom to learn from anywhere, be it while lounging on their sofa or bucking atop a local bar's mechanical bull. Each course features an easy-to-follow step-by-step format, and ongoing tutor support ensures no student hits a snag in their studies. As an added bonus, Courses for Success offers a "preview before you buy" option so customers can dip their toes into the online classroom before diving in.
New Jersey's municipal police officers, county corrections officers, state rangers, and other law enforcement members all start their careers in the same place: the entry-level exam. A single answer on this test could mean the difference between two candidates for the same position. It's a written obstacle course, with 10 sections that cover everything from deductive reasoning to personality traits. Luckily, it's a challenge that Top Brass Learning Centers' instructors have all met first hand. In fact, the faculty consists of police supervisors that have all scored high on their own exams. During classroom sessions, these experts cover all aspects of the written test, incorporating practice exams and training materials. They spend hours working with future officers until they can leave confident and ready to begin a life of civic service.
The instructors also help current officers advance their careers. Promotional level classes prep these continuing students for the oral, written, and video portions of sergeant, lieutenant, and captain exams. The classes are designed for working police men and women, and instructors post online versions of each lesson to accommodate students who cannot attend in-person.

I have no idea how I'm doing this week. I love to see the 180's tomorrow. I've been more active this week, working in some evening walks and bike rides now that's it light longer and warmer outside. On the other hand, I've been eating more, too. Tomorrow's weigh-in will be surprise. I cannot predict it, but then I usually can't.
First the good news--no wing'ed creatures during my exercise this morning. Phew!
And yes, all the windows were closed last night.
I was going for a walk yesterday evening, but K. said she would prefer to ride bikes and would I go with her? I'm not much of a cyclist. When I was a kid I rode a bike a lot, but now the bike seat hurts my butt, the pedaling hurts my knees, etc, etc.
But the little bugger is persuasive and wore me down. We went on a bike ride. We rode out to the edge of town to the girl's school. It's 1.9 miles on the car odometer but we avoided the more direct and busier route. It was fun! I can pedal with minimal discomfort and I'm not saddle sore. Yeah, another viable exercise option for me!
It was only two years ago I could barely get around a four-block square in our neighborhood without collapsing into a heap. I've come a long way, baby. And I've got a ways to go yet, too!
I found an excellent way to increase my cardio workout this morning.
I was just starting out with my exercise this morning when I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye. The room was fairly dark except for the light from the TV. My first thought was that my shoe had come off and I'd kicked it into the air, but no, my shoes were still firmly tied to my feet.
It was a bat. Eeeuuuuwwww.
I got the room closed off before he flew out, found my tennis racket and sent him to meet his maker fairly quickly. The kids were still asleep upstairs and I did all this with a minimum of screaming. I had the advantage being already awake. It's when you wake up and find them circling your bed that is really gross.
But still. Eeeuuuuwwww.
And the really creepy thing is I have no idea how he got in the house. We had windows open, but all the screens are on.
I had a mixed weekend. Lots of activity, but lots of good food, too. My friend was back in town and I hadn't seen her for awhile, so I made some of her favorite foods--steak on the grill and pasta salad. I also made a rhubarb pie for her, since I took the rhubarb from her yard it only seemed right to share it with her!
The activity involved washing walls in her house to get it ready to list. I spent significant time on a ladder with ammonia water and water running into my armpits--that's refreshing! We worked hard and got it looking good in about 5 hours of work. I put down two hours of 'painting' as an activity. I hope that's a fair enough trade!
Did you know if you type in "ribeye" on the food tracker you have choice for a 8 oz. ribeye that is 1,400 calories and another choice for a 14 oz. ribeye that is 1,092 calories? What gives? Guess which one I chose for MY food tracker yesterday!
I stepped on my scales three times this morning because it didn't seem possible. It said 190.0. That's down three pounds from where I've been stuck for several weeks and the least amount I've weighed in I-don't-know-how-long. My previous low weight was 191.8 in mid-April.
I am so pleased and awfully surprised. I was looking at my calorie counts for the last week and decided to average the week. I am averaging 1656 calories a day, which I thought seemed high, but it is well within my calorie range. Who loses weight eating over 1600 calories a day? I guess I do, but I would have thought my calorie counts were closer to 1400 a day.
I think one thing that has helped is that I'm measuring my portions this past week. If I'm hungry, my portion size creeps. A lot. I just don't trust that one portion is going to fill me up. So when does that trust kick in? It's like I'm scared I'm going to expire if I'm not stuffed full. When does my brain decide that one portion is ample for my body? For me, being overweight life-long, this is the hardest thing. Getting my brain, my eyes, and my stomach to all agree on what is enough and stick to it.

Kayaking Accidents Claims Post Copy Editor
The Metro Section's B2 today features a tragedy that must hit home for the newsroom: The paper's own John Francis Mullen died yesterday in a West Virginia kayaking accident.
An experienced kayaker who often wrote about his experiences for the paper, Mullen, 37, was kayaking on the Tygart River in Valley Falls State Park in an area so hazardous that paddlers must sign a release before entering. He was caught underwater after going over a waterfall, the paper reported.
According to the obituary, Mullen had worked full time as a copy editor at the Post since 2000 and part time since 1993. Executive Editor Len Downie described Mullen as "a respected editor" who was "very popular with his colleagues" in an email to the staff. "He will be sorely missed in the newsroom and by readers who shared his devotion to white water," Downie wrote.

New Bok jersey unveiledComment on this story
Cape Town - A brand-new Springbok jersey could bring fresh luck to the team, as captain Jean de Villiers says his side "will beat the All Blacks" this year.
The new Bok jersey, made by new apparel sponsor Asics, was unveiled at a glittering event at the Lookout Marquee at the V&A Waterfront on Thursday night. The event was attended by a number of other Boks, including Duane Vermeulen, Willie le Roux, Pat Lambie, Pierre Spies and Schalk Burger.
And De Villiers feels that coach Heyneke Meyer's team will topple the world champion All Blacks, who haven't lost to the Boks since 2011.
"Last year as a Springbok team, I thought we did pretty well and I thought we made some good strides. The key is to keep on improving every year. This year will be tough for us, and I think it's always tough the year prior to a World Cup to perform," said De Villiers.
"We made good strides last year, but this year, the challenge will be even bigger. We have to beat the All Blacks this year, we will beat the All Blacks this year. We've got to keep on striving to be the No 1 team in the world."
There are a few changes in the jersey, with a sharp gold collar and gold sleeves. The new high-end jersey goes on sale from Friday at R649, with a lower-end edition at R399. A limited-edition Test replica jersey will cost R2 499.
Asics, a Japanese sports goods company, has committed to setting up a subsidiary in South Africa that will manufacture 70% of the Bok jerseys.
"It's fantastic to represent your country, and tonight, to have a jersey like this, it's a beautiful jersey," De Villiers said.
The Boks will wear the new jerseys for the first time at Newlands on June 7 against the World XV.

Learning PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and CSS by Robin Nixon, O'Reilly Media October 2, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.

add a comment
Although I was curious about this book, I had mixed expectations. I have no background in web development (beyond playing a little with Catalyst and Drupal) so getting my toes wet with popular web-related technologies can't hurt. At the same time, I must confess I had serious doubts when I read the title out loud: "PHP", "MySQL", "JavaScript", "CSS". Learning four technologies as different as two programming languages (one server- and one client-side at that), a relational database and a style sheet language seemed like a little too much, even for a book of 556 pages.
Depending on your expectations, the book may be a hit or a miss. On one hand, if you unrealistically hoped to be a PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and CSS wizard after reading the book: no luck. You'll need to buy several books about each subject and invest the necessary time to get to know the technologies. But, you probably know this already. If, on the other hand, you just want to scratch the surface but -this is the interesting part- you want to see how these disparate technologies interoperation, then it's a pretty good read. In the limited space, the author manages to give attention to best practices (e.g. database normalization), something I didn't expect. The including classical web application mini-project, that uses the 4 technologies, may be a good incentive to those that prefer a more hands-on approach.

While waiting on my train to Belgium, I profit from this distraction-free time (read: no Internet) to reflect on the last days at Frankfurt. But first things first: I would like to thank mdk and the Enlightened Perl Organisation for making the attending of my first YAPC possible though the Send-A-Newbie initiative. It was a wonderful experience.
Getting to Frankfort wasn't as easy as expected. A three hours direct trip from Brussels became a 7 hour one including six trains (including local ones), several changes and stops in the middle of nowhere because of a yet again a broken train. Being packed like sardines in the corridor of a non air-conditioned carriage for 1h30 when the temperature outside was close to 40 °C (who knows how hot it was inside): not nice. Add to that getting almost no information what so ever. Anyway, a long cold shower, a change of clothes, a walk in Frankfurt and dinner with the Belgian mongers Serge (president of Brussels.pm) and ecocode (Brussels.pm && Flanders.pm) put me back in the YAPC mood in no time. The hotel were I stayed was a half an hour walk from the venue and although there was public transportation, I preferred to walk to and from the conference: what better way to enjoy a city?
The arrival at my first YAPC was a little schizophrenic. It was impressive to see the wide array of people of the Perl community. Different languages, accents, backgrounds… you name it. At the same time, it was fantastic to meet Perl people I already met in the past (e.g. by organising the FOSDEM Perl dev-room) and being able to link faces to irc nicks (e.g. sewi from Padre). I picked up a lot of things I can use at work, and through the presentations I got curious enough to try new things (e.g. Dancer). Also talks outside the rooms made me curious (e.g. Mojolicious). For the record: I am not a web-dev guy.
Even if you weren't there, you can probably get from the lines above that YAPC is at the same a technical and a community event. There were way too many great talks to name them all, so I'll limit myself to the talks that left a background job running in my head. Probably in chronological order, first there was markov's lightning talk about the "Perl Reunification summit" (summaries here and here) that was held this weekend in the town of Perl (a real town). Liz and Wendy (which I know from Flanders.pm) gathered important people from the Perl 5 and 6 community and got them… talking. If they can fulfil their plans (they are ambitious) it would be completely amazing. Time will tell. Read the summaries linked above.
The second talk that rang a bell was Stevan Little's talk about the new MOP (Meta Object Protocol) in Perl 5. I can not stress on how cool and important this is: Perl 5 is going strong. While a technical talk, Stevan's talk had a strong –although implicit – community aspect. This is a huge change to the core Perl and introducing the MOP and the related syntax requires the collective effort (in code and advice) of different part of the community, including Moose and yes, Perl 6. Salve from Oslo.pm announced they are organising and sponsoring a Moose hacklaton in a few weeks. Oh, and stevan mentioned en-passant how real exceptions will look like. That would remove 2 out of 3 of the my "weakest points in Perl" list. Incredible.
I was positively surprised by Mst's "State of the Velociraptor [Perl 5]" as it echoes my personal stand of Perl in the wider FOSS world. First, Perl 5 trolling is so passé. Second, we should be positive about the FOSS "competition": "Let a hundred flowers blossom" as they used to say in China :). He illustrated this by a very recognisable example from IRC when people ask (e.g. #python and #perl) what language to learn. His advise is "learn both and pick the one you like most, they are both great languages" (quoting from memory). I applaud this positive attitude of the community of the last years. It shows that we're no longer in the defensive. In my experience this is something people appreciate.
To conclude, mdk's last lightning talk didn't get stuck it my head through the technical or the community aspect, but -damn it!- through the the rhythm and the melody. Like the next speaker said: "try to be the next speaker after that" :).
The last day I had a nice dinner with two Perl Mongers from Barcelona: Diego and Enrique. I met Diego at FOSDEM and Enrique is a co-Padre-hacker. We had a very nice and long talk on a beautiful –and luckily less hot– evening. A perfect end for my first YAPC.
But let me end by thanking the people in the yellow t-shirts, the organizers. They did a fantastic job in difficult circumstances (did I mention how hot it was? :) ). Thank you Frankfurt.pm and friends!

If you already program in Perl you know that "Programming Perl" is the de facto reference of the language. I haven't met Perl Mongers citing randomly from it, but we are not that far from it :). If you're new to Perl, well now you know what you will be reading soon.
This brings us to the targeted public of this book and that's a tricky question. In my opinion, if you're new to Perl –or new to programming– you are better served by "Learning Perl" (or a similar book). On the other hand, if you are an experienced programmer you'll learn Perl from "Programming Perl" with a deep understanding of the language as a bonus. But 1184 pages may be a little too much to get your feet wet.
Don't return the book to Amazon yet if you take the tutorial-road: your copy will serve you well for years to come as reference for the less obvious aspects of the language (and let's be honest, there are several). So, this book is not a tutorial book. It's neither, unlike what I just wrote, a pure reference book. The book is very well written, with just enough humour (also: as not "too much") to make the 1184 pages digestible to get a deeper insight of the language, something that can not be said of many reference books that are written in a "phone book" style.
The previous versions dates from the year 2000 and covers ancient perls preceding the Perl revival and modernisation we're enjoying today. Well, if this book is so important for the language –the codification of the language as it were– and well written to be enjoyable, the authors should be lucky to not face trial for the Perl riots while waiting for the update of the book. More seriously, the update was indeed urgently needed and kudos to the authors: writing this kind of book (content and reputation) is hard. It helps that Larry, the creator of Perl, is part of the team. A great read.

Screen Calibration on Ubuntu 12.04 with Spyder2 [workaround] May 6, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.
Tags: argyll, bug, dispcalgui, fosdem, Perl, photography, Ubuntu, workaround
2 comments
The bad news: the default colour calibration wizard on Ubuntu 12.04 has a bug: awful magenta cast on some screens. Fine on others.
The good news: it works flawlessly using the (graphical) alternative below.
As a enthusiastic photographer (see my latest Perl Fosdem pictures) I am very positive about the colour management integration in the latest Ubuntu (12.04). Sure, colour calibration was possible before, but now it's an integral part of the system and not a simple add-on. Ubuntu++
Once the reviews are in, I will probably buy the ColorHug open source hardware calibration device. In the meantime I borrowed an old Spyder2 (express) from my father-in-law. I do not recommend buying new devices from Colorvision. The company is known to be very antagonistic to free and open source software. But, if you already have the hardware in a drawer it's better to use it.
Once you plug in the device, the "Calibration" button will activate and the necessary packages will be installed. However, for this HOWTO it's easier just to install the software (and its dependencies) from a shell window:
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-color-manager
(This install argyll as a dependency that does the real calibration beneath the GUI.)
This step is only applicable if you have a Spyder 2 device. As mentioned above, the company is not FOSS-friendly and doesn't even provide technical specifications. You will need the firmware of the device from the Windows driver. If you trust me, you can get mine here [MD5: 007ac5705a3a8ed7edf01569700e6ebf]. Put it in the .local/share/color directory in your home directory (create the needed directories if not present). It was extracted from the 2.3.6 Windows driver for the Spider2 Express (the latest at the time of writing). If you want to create the file yourself, see here. In short: you'll need the driver CD. If you don't have it or want/need a more up-to-date version, you'll need to install the driver and feed the generated .dll to spyd2en:
spyd2en -v ./CVSpyder.dll
In the GUI (Dash -> Applications -> Color, or simply type "color" and click the icon), if you select your screen and the "Calibrate…", the steps offered by the wizard are straight forward. Very easy. While it worked great on the computer of my better half, the generated profile on my own laptop (attached to an external screen) had a terrible magenta cast. Not of the type "your eyes will adapt to it".
After investigating and looking closely at the profile, it was clear that the profile used a 6500K white balance, instead of the 5000K requested in the wizard (it's called "Photography and graphics" there). Furthermore, the wizard offered 3 calibrations options: 4, 10 and 20 minutes depending on the desired accuracy. While I chose 4 minutes for testing purposes, the calibration took a long time (an hour or longer). Also, the advanced output in the calibration window (hidden by default) categorised the screen as CRT while it's a LCD. Because of this, I don't think the problem is tied to the specific firmware (running the latest available) of the hardware, but rather to gnome-color-manager integration with the device and maybe certain configurations. I don't have other calibration devices available to test. Bug reported.
dispcalGUI is a OS-agnostic alternative to gnome-color-manager and in fact – just as gnome-color-manager – and GUI on top argyll. Just download the deb (the most recent deb for Ubuntu 11.10 works fine on 12.04). If you double click it, the Ubuntu Software Manager will launch and perform the installation (or just use "dpkg -i" if you are a Debianista at heart).
Now, launch the dispcalGUI application from the Dash or just open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and type:
Select the Photography profile, your screen (if you have a multi monitor setup) and probe your device (by clicking on the "recycle" arrows) and give your profile a more recognisable name and a location. I use brand_model_calibrationDevice, e.g. Samsung_SyncMaster2443FW_Spyder2Express). Click on Calibrate and Profile and go read a book or take some pictures (it will take a lot longer than 20 minutes, probably an hour). If you wish you can skip the white point and black level, YMMV.
Now go back to the Ubuntu Color Settings as above and add the new created profile by selecting your screen, then click "Add profile", select other and choose the path you save the monitor profile.
Your monitor is now calibrated!
Perl devroom @FOSDEM2012: photos April 27, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.

1 comment so far
Finally I found the time to "develop" my Perl dev-room @ FOSDEM 2012 pictures (convert from camera RAW files to jpg). It was a very nice event. If you missed the Perl dev-room in the past year, you should really visit us in 2013. Or even better, give a talk.
In the pictures above you see Nicholas talking about Moose. He forgot his mac-VGA adaptor (ahum) so he ended up writing code on the blackboard ("the loudest syntax checker on earth"). Marc mixed some Haskell in his talk while Flavio showed some Javascript-powered Perl. Clément presented a Perl SSO solution and Erik showed us a open source accounting solution. Stefan introduced the PerlCommerce platform, while Ævar (a famous guy being the most mentioned name in Programming Perl, 4th ed!) talks about git-deploy (or rather git-undeploy :) ). Marius explained the marriage of Moose and MemCached.
As the organizer of the Perl dev-room, I had to attend to a few things during the talks. My excuses for not taking pictures of Mark's and Guillaume's talk (I was able to attend most of it, though). Sadly, I didn't had the time to photograph our fabulous Perl stand (although I have some pictures from last year): Wendy, Liz, Eric and all the other volunteers did a great job.
Thank you for a successful Perl FOSDEM presence.

Review: #tweetsmart by J. S. McDougall (O'Reilly Media) March 22, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.

add a comment
Ok. I am new to twitter (@nxadm) and I am not sure I completely grasp the concept. So what's more promising than a title in the form of a hashtag? The back of the book reads: "#tweetsmart provides the answer [to what to do with twitter] with 25 creative projects to help your business, cause, or organization grow. But this isn't just another social media marketing book—it's the anti-marketing how-to community-engagement book". Does the book deliver? Well, it all boils down to who you are.
The good
It's certainly a good read. I enjoyed it. It's short (100 pages), sometimes funny and always extremely to the point, something I appreciate. McDougall is really passionate about the subject and that shows: the author's style is enthusiastic and upbeat. If you're a business you'll be using the oldest marketing tricks in a digital jacket in no time. You'll reach a much bigger audience that you thought it was possible and it will cost you peanuts. Good.
The bad
So, what if you not own a business? No problem, the back says "business, cause, or organization", you may think. Nope. Being an free and open source enthusiast involved in a few projects (e.g. Padre, the Perl IDE) it was specifically the "cause or organisation" part that made me curious. Of the 25 recipes, isn't there at least one applicable to smaller (not commercial) open source projects? Sadly, no. It will help you to sell coffee or burritos, but not reach new users or developers. Did I learn something I didn't know? Again, no (I repeat: I enjoyed the book).
So the "anti-marketing how-to community-engagement book" epithet may be a little euphemistic. Let's stick with a "not-annoying and not insulting practical online marketing book for small business". Sure, it sounds less "cool", but take it from me, "not annoying and not insulting" part is worth *a lot* when talking about marketing.
Will I recommend it? Well, it depends on who you are. The 3 of 5 stars I give to this book is just an average: it ranges from totally irrelevant for some uses to a fantastic HOWTO to get the online marketing of your business started in no time. You Mileage -May- Will Vary.
Migrate a virtualbox VM to a bigger virtual disk March 18, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.

When a virtual machine has limited use, you don't want to loose too much space. Sometimes, however, you get the size wrong.
In my case, I have a minimal Windows VM on my Ubuntu laptop. Once in a while I test an upcoming Padre (The Perl IDE) release or update a crappy usb device with Windows-only support. Win-modems may be gone, but we still have GPS devices that run GNU/Linux but can only be connected to Windows. (I guess seeing your market-share shrink because of smart-phones is what they call bad karma, TomTom.)
Windows being Windows, adding disks is a terrible experience (what's up with the alphabet as a mounting point?) and moving a Windows installation to a second disk is a nightmare. Luckily, free software gets the job done:
1. Make sure your guest machine is halted properly. This is specially important for a NTFS (virtual) partition of a Windows VM.
2. Download Ubuntu (It does not matter if you use the 32- or the 64-bit version, other GNU/Linux distribution will work as well). The screenshots are from a Ubuntu 11.10 setup.
3. In the specific VM-settings, add a new disk (to the same disk controller) and a new cdrom. Load the Ubuntu iso in the virtual cdrom drive.
4. Make sure the VM boots from the cdrom.
5. "Try" Ubuntu. Once Ubuntu is loaded, launch "gparted".
6. Select the old disk (normally the first one, check the size).
7. Right on the disk representation and "copy" it.
8. Select the new disk from the combo-box on the upper right (check the size).
9. Go to "Device", choose "Create Partition Table…". Click "Apply" in the pop-up window.
10. Right on the disk representation and "paste" the original disk. Click "Apply" in the pop-up window.
11. Click on the green "Apply tick" on the icon menu to apply the changes. This will take some time. Get some coffee.
12. Right on the disk representation and select "Manage Flags". Enable "boot".
13. Shut down the Ubuntu Live cd.
14. Remove the original disk from the VM configuration (back it up first).
That's it!
Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 on Ubuntu March 1, 2012Posted by claudio in Uncategorized.
Tags: GNU/Linux, logitech, mouse, out-of-the-box, trackball, Ubuntu

A colleague working in our IT-helpdesk found an old Logitech TrackMan Wheel in his drawer. "Old" as in out-of-production model launched around 2002. The thing was good as new: the trackball was still in his original package and the documentation and CD package were sealed. The person that ordered the thing years ago didn't get used to it after one try. Lucky me :).
So I gave it a try and wow… I have gone ergonomic! While it took some minutes to kill the reflex to move the mouse around, I got used to the trackball mechanism very fast. When I got home I ordered the heir of this model, the Wireless Trackball M570.
At its arrival, my Virtualbox Windows VM was ready to be booted in order to pair the mouse and the wireless adapter. Sadly, Logitech only provides a MS Windows and Mac OS X binary. Once paired, the interwebs agree on this, the combination works on whatever OS you connect it too.
Big was my surprise, when everything worked out of the box in Ubuntu (11.10). Logitech seem to do the right thing nowadays and the devices are already pre-paired. Letting the pairing to the customer seems medieval when you thing about it. Logitech++.
So, everything works fine. The trackball is fantastic. The only complain is that the scroll-wheel makes a cheap plasticky sound when clicked, and as a UNIX user, it's something you do often. This new model has 2 additional buttons compared to the original TrackMan. Out of the box, they are configured as Back and Next (e.g. while browsing in Firefox).
I don't care much about these buttons and not at al for the Back and Next function. They are out of the way, so if you don't use them, they won't drive you crazy. Anyway, while they are there, why not give them a shot and assign them a useful task: easystoke to the recue! ("sudo apt-get install easystroke" from the shell, or search for "easystroke" on the Ubuntu Software Center)
I configured the additional buttons as Page Up and Page Down, something I really do use often (I find it easier on the hand than using the scroll wheel). I followed the instructions from the Archlinux wiki. Being a wiki, I copy the short instructions in case it get removed or moved:
easystroke is a mouse gesture application, but it can be used to manage mouse buttons as well. It's main advantage o-ver btnx is that it's more versatile. On the other hand, it's user-based, so any user has to configure it to reflect his own needs.
In order to set up easystroke to manage your extra mouse buttons, you'll need to do this (example features Back/Forward mouse buttons) : run:easystroke -g
Go to Preferences tab > Additional buttons > Add, and add any special button.
Go to Action tab > Add action, give the new action a name, as Type choose "Key", as Details set "Alt+Left" for Back button, "Alt+Right" for Forward button, as Stroke click the proper mouse button (confirm if a warning is displayed), and voilà! Your mouse button is configured.
I add some screen-shots for your comfort that illustrate my specific configuration. Nota Bene: to get Shift+Page Up/Down working (e.g. scrolling in a terminal), you need to add the combo to easystroke.

I love it when I get a fair deal in this greedy digital world. Paying twice for the same content is something I really dislike.
Besides the content, I like chromatic's way of doing business: you can freely download the DRM-free pdf of his book (Modern Perl) even if you don't buy a hard copy. Guess what, I bought the book the day it came out.
Although O'Reilly does make you pay for the electronic content of a printed book you already own, they give you a very fair deal: "Upgrade to the electronic version of any print book you've registered at oreilly.com, for just $4.99″.
I just got the DRM-free digital version of 5 O'Reilly paper books I already own and I don't feel cheated at all. Be careful though not to mix offers like the 5$ book "upgrade" the half price for new releases of books you own. In this case you'll pay half price of the full ebook price instead of the 5 $.
This is how you make customers happy. Treat me with respect and I won't mind sending some money your way once in a while.

Teen.com has made up a few Hunger Games themed ecards of their own (you know they're everywhere now!). This one conveys a message Effie would be proud of!
Tag Archives: That Is Mahogany
But When I Do, It's Mahogany
Mahogany madness may have died down a little since it took the world by storm a couple of weeks ago, but this new meme — combining the genius of the Dos Equis' "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials — proves that it's still as popular a wood as ever.
This funny Hunger Games meme comes courtesy of fakeshemp.tumblr.com, and it had me laughing quite a bit. What I'd like to know is if mahogany sales have started to go up. Think about it: If you were debating between a few kinds of wood for your new coffee table, wouldn't this line make you pick mahogany? (Too bad I don't need a coffee table or I'd be on that right now, ready to leave a knife mark).
Let's do mahogany one more time
This is just funny. No explanation necessary.
Source: famefashionfreedom.tumblr.com
Cherrywood replaces mahogany
Check out this letter Effie wrote to Mahogany. Looks like it is being replaced with Cherrywood, which is sad. It's always difficult being replaced. Does this mean Mahogany's 15 minutes of fame is now over and we need to move on? Will we be able to?
"That is Cherrywood!" just doesn't sound right.

Ask Effie Trinket, Mahogany
This is great stuff! We stumbled upon ask-effie-trinket.tumblr.com and found this correspondence:
Feel free to ask Effie all kinds of things. And as we alluded to in our first Heffie post, we wouldn't put it past Haymitch and Effie to do something — on or off a mahogany table. If something like "dinner" were to happen on any table, though, we'd bet Effie would want it to be mahogany.
And can't you imagine Effie shouting in the throes of "dinner:"
followed by
Haymitch + Effie = Heffie
With Peeniss and Glato going on with reckless abandon, we turn our attention to a pretty popular ship: Heffie (that's Haymitch and Effie). This one got some serious legs in the movie, with plenty of sexual tension at some points and "old married couple"-ish behavior in others.
Look at this stunning image from crystalshinigami-kum.deviantart.com. Yeah, that pretty much sums up the nature of Haymitch and Effie.
Best Haymitch-Effie lines:
Haymitch: Loosen up your corset, have a drink.
Haymitch: Nice dress. Not yours (indicating Effie).
Effie: THAT IS MAHOGANY! (of course!)
But perhaps the most telling one isn't even a funny line. It's when Effie DOES have a little to drink and seems to loosen up a bit. Do you all remember that? She says, in a kind of seductive voice:
"Oh Hayyymitch…" before he sits down like he's joining a brunch at the country club.
There's something going on there. We can sense it. And we love it!
Mahogany Magic
I'm glad I am not the only person who didn't realize this:
Apparently tumblr user fandomity didn't notice it before now either!
I actually own this and never put two and two together!
Here's proof for those of you who do not possess of bottle of it, courtesy of tumblr user princecharmingfirth

More than most chronic diseases, diabetes often requires behavioral and medication changes supported by frequent feedback and input from care providers. My Diabetes Connector offers a unique and personalized way to share and monitor blood glucose levels, keep track of medications, log blood pressure, track lab results, and build and maintain an exercise log. My Diabetes Connector also allows people with diabetes to invite individuals into their health-management support circle, and provides an interactive method for receiving feedback in the form of charts and graphs.
The software application for My Diabetes Connector was developed by MyCareTeam, Inc. and has undergone several years' worth of research, design and testing in collaboration with Georgetown University. "The ADA sees value in offering an online database management tool to our constituents, and we have worked with MyCareTeam to offer this solution to the broader diabetes community," added Dr. Kahn.
"We are very pleased that the ADA has chosen to offer our software to its diabetes community," said Jim Mingle, CEO of MyCareTeam, Inc. "Our research has shown that My Diabetes Connector is an invaluable tool in diabetes management and we believe this is a wonderful opportunity to have a positive impact on the overall health of the many individuals with diabetes."
My Diabetes Connector is the only diabetes monitoring application
available today that allows users to upload information from multiple
glucose meters directly to their computer, without the need for installing
additional software. Using a cable provided as part of the subscription to
My Diabetes Connector, this means that a person with diabetes can just
connect their meter to their computer and the data is uploaded

The second orange (and current) cover was used to associate it with Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's later Bat-stories The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, however Haunted Knight is not part of the same story line.

I sat here watching the ball come down & thinking,this moment is a beginning of a fresh start,with more goals to accomplish, reaching out to spark friends to encourage us along the way. I am so delighted when I hear from my Spark friends I heard about Sparks from Robin Roberts on Good Morning America . I have never felt so blessed to have heard about Sparks. When I am working out & maybe not really wanting to at that moment I just think that my Spark folks are right there beside me working out so I plug on because I know you are all there for me. Happy & Healthy New Year to all!!!!
I had off work today, my husband & I went out for breakfast we have not done that for awhile. Then we went shopping, one of the places we stopped was the Cracker Barrel they had 70% off Christmas items ,bought some nice things. I bought a real neat black hat. ( My favorite hat is the one I bought when I was in Israel it is a beret I love it . When I was in the old city of Jerusalem the shop keeper he put it on for me ( there is a correct way to wear it.) Then this afternoon went to dentist for cleaning. then I went to my first YOGA class in years ., That was an hour, the stretches felt so good, then I went swimming,but I only went for 25 minutes was exhausted. I then went to the steam room for 10 minutes. ( I love the steam room feels so refreshing ) I felt good about going to the classes & swimming. When I came home my husband was in the process of making a light house for our yard for the summer. His workmanship is excellent. He had the radio on so I danced around to keep moving. Take care keeping moving,drink your water, watch your portions & we can all do this together
I went to Zumba classes & it was not easy, to get my self going.. However; I pushed forward,exhausted when done, but felt mentally great because I went . Another accomplishment I drank 8 glasses of water. I drank a glass of water at 6:00 am this morning & drank in intervals throughout the day.I need to take each day one at a time.
Last night I had plans of going to Zumba classes the next day. I came home from work at 4:00 pm & my bones were aching from the bitter cold. It was so nice & warm in my home I thought no I am not going back out in that cold. I sat here for awhile on the Spark site, I started remembering the promise I made to myself about getting healthier. I grabbed the phone & called my friend Carol, I said " you ready" That is all I had to say to her I changed clothes, grabbed my water bottle kissed my husband goodbye & ran out the door. We had a good work out & I must say I sure felt better mentally that I did go, I know if I still sat here I would hate my reasoning of why I did not go. I started today keeping track of my food intake. I need to also really work on the water intake. I am great at making all kinds of excuses of not working out. When I fail to come through of what I want to do. I feel like a failure then, but I know if I was a real failure I would not be starting over today.
I can buy new clothes, have my hair highlighted, with a new style, have my teeth whitened, and have others say,'Oh you look great" but on the inside not feeling all that new like the materialistic things I have hanging on my body. When I was in school doing the pole vault jump I did not go to the starting line & bolt forward. I stood there for a bit visualizing how every part of my body was going to perform to make it over the line. I need to take my exercise my eating habits, my negative thinking & visualize the outcome of a healthier me. Stepping up to the line & actually seeing the outcome. Today I start 12/09/2010 I need to give accountability to myself. I am posting my measurements ( bust 40 1/2 'in. waist 39 in. stomach 41 in. hips 39 in. thigh 25 in. I joined the YMCA a few months ago in my community but only going once a week and making all kinds of excuses not going like I should, I am too tired , a bad day at work, need to hurry home and make supper for my husband, feeling guilty because I would spend extra time away from my husband, ( he encourages me to go) (it is me making that excuse not him) I make unhealthy food choices, I started out doing good with measuring my food portions that lasted a few weeks. I have never blogged before so I think this will also help me. I ate 3 peanut butter cookies for breakfast,I felt mentally sick about it after I indulged with that morning cup of coffee, I went on some blogging sites & said this is it I need to do this. Where do I see myself one year to this date posted. A healthier me, an attitude changed about working out. My attitude needs adjusting my whole way of thinking about this body & life that was given to me.
