As I said that I was thinking about letting others look at the alternate transcoder-setup file I had here it is…

RHEL transcoder-setup.text

Please feel free to modify even further, and or take this and actually make some real documentation from it.

This is a new post but it does sound very similar to the results of Tuesday’s trades.

Noted GBPJPY had ran back up into the 50% fib level on the 4 hour charts so was looking for a short opportunity with this pair. On the 5 min chart noticed a clean descending triangle forming, so as per my rules waited for a close below the line of support before entering the trade. But like the Tuesday trade on EURJPY, after entry the price action changed direction and push up through my stop loss. Another business expense added to my trading records.

So with 7am approaching the descending triangle on GBPUSD was my next target. Base price targeting of this triangle was around the 20 points so today if the 7am trade triggered my target would be 20 points. The 6:55 candle closed below the line of support and the trade was entered at 7am as the low of the previous candle was broken. Price continued on down and hit target where the trade3 was closed for 20 points. Price action did continue on down for a further 10 points before hitting the daily pivot level and changing direction. So the base price targeting of the triangle was correct again for this trade.

So like Tuesday, the first trade of the day on a breakout from a triangle pattern failed on a Yen pair, then the 7am on GBPUSD ran to target to bring the morning back to even. So does this mean I should stop trading the Yen pairs? – would you?

So I bought the IKEA Mikael Desk for a little over $80 in May. A few months later it is still treating me well. It has a very strong build quality. Click “more” for a full review and some pictures.

The desk itself is held together by only 4 screws. The two large “legs” of the desk are held on by wooden dowels. If you don’t know what one looks like, here one is below:

Anyways, the Mikael desk is held together by a white accent piece that connects the top of the desk, and both of the legs with 4 screws. It is a very sturdy desk and could easily (in my opinion) hold 180 lbs. without flinching.

The black finish does have a few scratches and scrapes, but they are mostly from my Logitech G25 scraping up the edges, and is my fault for not using a rag of some sort to cover it up.

It is a very large desk for a small room, and can hold many devices. I would definitely recommend buying it, it is very classy and matches the dark finish, and strong edges of my IKEA Lack table i have sitting in the corner of my room.

Here are a few more pictures of the desk in the various setups i have used it in:

Guide to install SAP

Due to dead Razor liners in my TRS Estillos, I finally decided to purchase some highly rated Trust Catalyst liners. The fact that my 2-3 year old M-Type frames were battered, also convinced me to order some new frames. My choices were either; Kizer suspension frames, or GC Featherlites. Having reminisced about my GC Gen 3s and how slidy, light yet durable they were, I set forth to ordering some GC Featherlite 2s. Last night I set up these bad boys, but due to S**T English weather, have yet to skate them! Note: My skates were already equipped with Razor buckles and Deshi Spizer 2 soul kits. Mannnnn I wanna skate!

I got many enquiries about how the turret assembly is to be installed on their 8banners pinhole cameras. So, I piece together some instructions in images for easy reference for all who have problem understanding the notes I send you all via email. I think in such case, it’s always “A picture paints a thousand words!”

O Web Host Manager é o Painel de Controle para administração de seu Servidor Virtual. Com esse painel, você pode criar seus pacotes de hospedagem, adicionar novas contas, removê-las, bloquear, desbloquear o acesso, trocar senhas, verificar a transfêrencia de cada conta adicional, verificar o uso e configuração dos servidores, etc., tudo de forma automática, rápida e prática.

Clique sobre os links à esquerda e as funções em cada menu lhe serão apresentadas. Veja como utilizar estas funções:

• Setup Remote Access Key: deve ser utilizada apenas por programadores experientes, caso desejem integrar um outro programa em PHP ou Perl com o Web Host Manager. Esta ferramenta gera uma chave remota de acesso.
• Service Status: visualizar o Status dos Serviços em seu servidor.
• Server Information: visualizar as configurações do seu servidor.
• List Accounts: listar todas as contas que estão em seu servidor virtual, exibindo uma série de informações úteis de cada uma.
• Create a New Account: cria uma nova conta em seu servidor virtual. Ao clicá-la, surgirá na moldura maior um formulário com os seguintes campos a serem preenchidos:

A) Domain (domínio): neste campo você digita o nome do domínio principal da conta, como por exemplo “meucliente.com.br”, SEM o “www.” inicial.

B) UserName (nome de usuário/login da conta): neste campo você vai encontrar uma sugestão do próprio sistema, mas você pode substituir por outra coisa, com no máximo 8 (oito) caracteres de extensão.

C) Password (senha): digite uma senha para a nova conta. Recomendamos de 6 a 8 caracteres aleatórios, que podem ser letras minúsculas, maiúsculas e algarismos numéricos. Não se esqueça de anotar a senha, pois será a última vez que vai vê-la (não é possível recuperá-la). Se a senha for perdida, a opção é trocá-la usando outra função do Web Host Manager (mais detalhes abaixo).

D) Package (Pacote): escolha neste campo o plano de hospedagem da conta de seu cliente.

Após preencher os campos acima, basta clicar em “Create” para visualizar uma tela com o processo de criação de contas. Não se esqueça de anotar a senha, pois os demais dados você pode conseguir em “List Accounts”.

• Skeleton Directory: cria um diretório cpanel3-skel no diretório raiz de sua conta principal de acesso ao servidor. Todos os arquivos inseridos nesse diretório (em suas áreas específicas) serão copiados para a conta de seu cliente no momento que você a ativar. Muito útil para que as novas contas ao serem ativadas contenham uma página de apresentação, por exemplo.
• Terminate an Account: apaga uma conta. Selecione “Terminate an Account” para fazer surgir uma tela com os nomes de domínio e os logins de cada conta. Escolha um domínio ou conta e clique em “Terminate”. Atenção: este é um processo sem volta! Não é possível recuperar contas apagadas no sistema.
• Upgrade/Downgrade an Account: altera o plano de hospedagem de uma conta. Clique em “Upgrade/Downgrade an Account”, escolha o domínio/conta e clique em “Modify”. Escolha o novo plano de hospedagem da lista e clique em “Change”.
• View Bandwidth Usage: Use esta opção para visualizar quanto (aproximadamente) suas contas estão transferindo no mês corrente. Ideal para verificar se um cliente está próximo de seu limite mensal e alertá-lo antes que a conta seja bloqueada automaticamente por excesso de transferência. Não se esqueça: Todas as contas que excederem seu limite de transferência mensal serão automaticamente bloqueadas pelo servidor. Portanto, você e seus clientes devem monitorar a utilização de banda, alterando o plano de hospedagem da conta quando necessário.
• Suspend/Unsuspend an Account: permite suspender a conta de um cliente quando necessário, por exemplo, por falta de pagamento. Todos os arquivos do cliente são preservados, mas ele perde todas as formas de acesso ao servidor e sua página não será mais exibida. Esta função lhe permitirá também reativar a conta anteriormente suspendida quando o problema que levou à suspensão for resolvido. Clique em “Suspend/Unsuspend an Account”. Escolha um domínio/conta da lista e clique em “Suspend” para bloquear e “Unsuspend” para liberar o acesso ao domínio.
• List Suspended Accounts: lista todas as contas suspensas.
• Modify Suspended Account Page: permite personalizar uma página HTML que será exibida no lugar do site de seu cliente quando a conta do mesmo for suspensa.
• Password Modification: altera a senha da conta de um cliente quando o mesmo esquecer sua senha de acesso. Clique em “Password Modification”, escreva a nova senha no campo “New Password”, escolha o domínio da lista e clique em “Change Password”.
• List Subdomains: Esta opção lista todos os sub-domínios em seu servidor virtual.
• Change WHM Theme: altera o tema do Web Host Manager. Aconselhamos que você utilize apenas s tema X para o Web Host Manager, pois possui melhor integração com idiomas adicionais (no caso, Português, que será acrescido) e é de fácil utilização.
• Add Packages: O primeiro passo é criar os seus pacotes (ou planos) de hospedagem. Esses são os planos que você comercializará em seu site web. Para criar seus pacotes acesse na moldura da esquerda, “Add Packages”. Uma tela aparecerá no frame direito com vários campos para serem preenchidos: Nome do Plano, Espaço em MB, Número de Contas de FTP, Número de Contas de E-mail, Número de Mailing Lists, Número de Bancos de Dados MySQL, Número de Sub-domínios, Habilitar ou não a execução de Scripts CGI, Habilitar ou não as extensões FrontPage (deixe sempre desabilitada esta função, pois as extensões FrontPage devem ser instaladas apenas para os clientes que solicitarem), Quota de Transferência de dados e Tema do cPanel (escolha X ou X2). Após definir os recursos, basta clicar em “Create” e o pacote será criado. Você não conseguirá ativar contas no servidor se não tiver pelo menos 1 pacote de hospedagem habilitado.
• Delete Packages: permite apagar planos de hospedagem.
• Edit Packages: modifica os seus planos de hospedagem.
• Park or Point a Domain: cria os DNS´s para apontamento de um novo domínio para uma das contas de seus clientes.
• List Parked Domains: lista os apontamentos existentes nas contas de seus clientes, e lhe dá a opção de cancelar o apontamento.
• Edit an MX Entry: permite que você configure um servidor de e-mail externo para as contas de seus clientes.
• Install FrontPage Extensions: instala as extensões FrontPage em alguma conta (se isso for solicitado pelo cliente). Clique em “Install FrontPage Extensions”, escolha o domínio/conta e clique em “Install”. Por favor avise seu cliente para restringir o uso de programas clientes de FTP e usar somente a caracteristica de “Publish” do FrontPage para transferir arquivos para a conta.
• Uninstall FrontPage Extensions: remove as extensões FrontPage. Use “Uninstall FrontPage Extensions”, repentindo o mesmo procedimento acima. Caso a conta esteja com problemas na configuração do FrontPage (geralmente ocorre devido ao uso de programa de FTP para configurar arquivos, ou a edição de arquivos .htacesss), remova e depois adicione as extensões na conta e peça para o seu cliente realizar uma nova tentativa.
• Install FrontPage Mail Extensions: permite instalar as extensões de e-mail do FrontPage em todas as contas de seus clientes que utilizam FrontPage.
• Mail Troubleshooter: permite verificar se uma determinada conta de email está ou não com problemas. Caso encontre algum problema, entre em contato com o nosso suporte, para que seja feita uma verificação na conta de e-mail específica.
• Modify cPanel/WHM News: permite administrar um sistema de notícias no painel de controle de todos os seus clientes. As notícias devem ser escritas em HTML.

One option for speeding-up the camp set-up and breakdown process, and to allow standing space in the van for changing and cooking would be to have a pop-up roof (see inspiration galleries). I found that these are easily available for VW vans, but not so for the Vito. That said, you could find something for around £1000 that could probably be adapted.

Then yet another internet search found a small German outfit building expedition vehicles with aluminimum, telescopic roof (click images to enlarge). Taking this as inspiration a version for the Vito using marine play with rubber seals was sketched out, and cutting out that back 4 (of 5) roof panels to create the opening. It would be a ‘no-going-back’ development so would require a lot of modelling and testing before build.

In the big IT shops source control is rather common place. However in smaller shops or for individual developers a version control system may not be a top priority. A source control system may seem overly complicated and unnecessary. Fortunately they’re not as cumbersome as you might think and the benefits are well worth the small effort. 

So what exactly do we mean when we talk about source control, or version control systems? Basically a source control system provides a central place to store your code and a mechanism to track revisions of that code.

Source Control

One common reason people start using a source control system is when more than one developer needs to access the code. There used to be a time when our live production system served as the central repository for accessing code. Jim had a task to update a webpage so, he would connect directly to the server and make a change to the file in the live environment. Bob may have a change to make and then go do the same thing. What about quality, what if there was a mistake or a file was accidentally deleted. To avoid this Developers may keep code in another location other than the live site. For individual developers this is typically on their computer. For multiple developers, this central spot may be a shared network drive. With that risk averted what else could go wrong?

What if Jim had a lot of changes to implement. Some core functionality needed to be changed and it couldn’t be done at one time. Typically Jim would grab a copy and keep it locally until it was finished then post it. Here’s the rub, after Jim takes the copy but before he puts it back, Bob goes on the server and makes a change. Later Jim posts his changes and overwrites Bob’s code. Geez thanks Jim.

Here’s where we start to see features of a source control system come in. In this case if they were using source control, when Jim tries to put his changes in, the system would alert him that other changes had been made since he pulled his copy.

Source Versioning

So what about this versioning concept, why do I care? Have you ever used undo on your computer? You know you make a mistake, hit ctrl+z and revert back to what you had before? Here’s a question, how do you revert back to something you had yesterday or last week. If you had something versioning your files you could do just that.

Say you’re doing a website and are making some wording updates to a promotion. You post the changes and a few weeks later your client tells you there’s a law suit over that change. Apparently a customer claimed the original promotion said one thing but the company say it was something else. How do you go back and see what really was on the site? Version control.

Another scenario, you have a functional application that your client is using in production. Now you have another customer who wants to use it too. You decide to update the application to accommodate more than one client. After a few weeks of tinkering you still can’t get things the way you want. It’s functional and in your central repository but not quite right. Your client comes back and wants a change to the app in production tomorrow. Your repository copy has the new changes in it, if you make the change now it will have your unfinished changes in it. With a version control system you can pull a snapshot of the code from before you started your changes and update it without affecting your in progress changes.

Getting started using a source version control system

There are a variety of free and fee based solutions. Some of the big names like ClearCase and Preforce sometimes show up in the big companies but the free solutions like CVS and SVN are more popular. CVS has been around for ages and had a huge following. SVN, also known as Subversion, started as an effort to fix some of the challenges that were in CVS. These days SVN is very widely used and is pretty much the standard.

Lets take a look at SVN. Most systems have a server component and a client component. The server piece is where your code is stored and the client is an interface for you to access that code. SVN is no different. You can go out and grab the server components then go get a client too. You don’t need to do this at this point though. For this example and for simple setups, the Subversion client TortoiseSVN has everything you need. So go ahead, down load and install it.

Once installed create a directory to act as your central repository. In this case I’ll create one at c:\repo. Navigate into that directory and right click. In the context menu choose TortoiseSVN -> Create repository here. Just like that you have a functional source control system.

Lets start using our new system. Before we do I need to clarify one thing. We just created a setup that mimics a server configuration. While this example is setup locally, it could ba on a server somewhere. The next step explains how you access that content and keep a useable copy locally.

We’re ready now to use our SVN instance. Find a place on your computer where you’ll be doing your work, maybe c:\workspace. Navigate into that directory and right click. In the context menu choose SVN Chekout. This will pop up a window asking you where your repository is and how you want to get the contents. 

For the URL type in file:/// followed by the path to where you create the SVN repository earlier. This is not the working directory, rather the location of the repository. Since we installed this locally it will be something like file:///C:/repo but if this were on a server it could be http://someserver.com/repo

In this scenario we’re starting with the repository and pull the contents into our workspace. If you already had files in a workspace you could start there and push them into the repository with the import option on the context menu.

Using Your New Source Control System

Now that we have things setup lets try it out. Create a text file in your workspace called MyFile.txt. Add some content in it. Save and close. Depending on your version and setup the icon may differ but you’ll see a marker on your file like a question mark. This is telling you that this file is not in the repository or under source control. Since it is a new file we need to get it in there. Right click on a white space and choose

svn commit. The following popup will show you all files   that have been updated locally and are not in sync with the repository. you should notice that our file is listed, but is not checked. Since this is a new file we need to select it and have the SVN client add it to our repository. Make sure our file is checked and hit ok.  The confirmation screen will show that everything has been added and updated.

Now go back and make a change to that file again, Save it and take a look at the new icon. 

This exclamation point tells us that this file, which is under version control, is out of sync with the repository. Again right click and commit changes.

Now all is good and we get a Green checkmark.

So there you have it. The barebones basics of getting going with a source control system.

In future posts we’ll be using source control systems in our examples which will give you more context how this fits into a development process. Even with this basic setup you’ll be able to point your IDE to this local repository and follow along. Don’t just use it for our examples though, you can keep versions of any file this way. Version your wedding list, or Photoshop files. Whatever it is, revision control systems provide a lot of value.

For now happy versioning.

How to setup an application on facebook on 4 easy steps:

Step 1

Go to: http://www.facebook.com/developers/

Once there click on the “Set up New Application” button.

Step 2:

Fill the fields on this page, also agree with the “Facebook Terms” (there is a link to read it) then click on “Create Application”.

Step 3 Basic Information:

Api Key: You must save this on since you are going to need it on the future for your application’s development.

Secret: also needed for application development.

Bookmark URL:  URL of your application so the users can bookmark it on facebook, usually http://apps.facebook.com/myappname

The other information to fill is just informative or aesthetic since it references to the description and icons to use in your application, the User-Facing URL are set according to your help, privacy and conditions of your application.

Step 4 Canvas:

Canvas Page URL: The base URL for your canvas pages on Facebook.

Render Method:

IFrame:

• Are easier and faster if you have an existing application, widget, or website if the application utilizes XFBML
• Let you use the JavaScript, HTML, and CSS that you are used to
• Debugging regular HTML and JavaScript is easier than for FBML and FBJS given the tools available today
• Allow you to use popular JavaScript libraries like jQuery in your code

FBML:

• Lets you quickly start building an application from scratch, which is good for a new Facebook developer.
• Is likely to be faster on first page loads
• Has fewer moving parts and the paradigm is closer to that of the traditional Web
• Gives you easy access to lots of Facebook elements
• Has a sensible authorization mechanism

Step 3 Connect:

This is an important step if you are going to use JavaScript API or facebook connect inside your application.

Connect URL: this is the URL of your application wherever is hosted since there you will have a file named xd_receiver.htm (this file is the one receiving all the calls from the facebook JavaScript API to enable the cross domain for the Ajax calls)

The other fields can be left in blank or filled with the necessary information according to whatever you want to do with your facebook application.

After this 4 steps facebook is ready to load your application.

In the same location (as part 2), create another file called “applicationContext.xml”.  Paste in the following content.  Some explanation will follow below.

• myDAO is our data access interface.  This will be created later also.  You may need to change the name of this, and it’s class reference.

How to install Openfiler (iSCSI targets server) in Virtual Box.

Flex Builder and Flash Builder both have the ability to setup a few aspects of your BlazeDS project for you. In a previous posting I explained how to set up a BlazeDS project in Flash Builder. When you select “Use remote object access service” you’re telling the IDE to set up a few things for you. Selecting this keeps you from having to import the BlazeDS libraries, add configuration files and set a compiler option that points to the config files.

It sounds nice, but it may not be the best solution. Flash Builder seems to be a bit buggy when you choose this option. As of this posting it seems to incorrectly set the web context for the destination call when making the actual AMF call. More specifically it seems to use the “WebContent” value instead of “WebContext”. The result is that the calls are made to http://localhost:8080/WebContent/messagebroker/amf instead of http://localhost:8080/MyProject/messagebroker/amf. While this may be a bug in the beta version of Flash Builder there are other reasons not to trust this to your IDE.

When you set this up automatically, the config files are put into your WEB-INF/flex directory for you. When you edit these files, Flash Builder prompts you asking you if you really want to do this since they are generated files. Typically you would just hit yes and update the files. Here’s the rub. If you go under the project properties and change the server configuration the IDE may delete those files from the directory. In FlashBuilder if you remove the BlazeDS support after a project has been set up it removes the config files. Why would you do this if you were writing a BlazeDS app? Well maybe someone (me) was trying to fix the destination issue I previously mentioned by changing the WebContext setting. This setting happens to be locked down in an automated setup.

Finally when your application gets all growed up and wants to move out, you’ll probably want to move the build process to a command line utility. At this point you’ll have to know about the libraries, config files and compiler options anyway. So why wait, just set it up on your own to begin with.   FlashBuilder isn’t really doing that much anyway.

Set it up yourself

So where to begin. Lets talk briefly about the three main styles of setup that you’ll come across online. First is what we already mentioned, having Flash Builder setup things for you in a combined Flex J2EE project. The second way many sites discuss is creating a project for flex and pointing it to an existing server that’s running BlazeDS.  This is a more prevalent option and highlights the separation of concerns that actually exists in any final solution. The third method is to manually create a combined Flex J2EE project. This third option is more ideal for smaller projects.

Lets look at setting up Flash Builder with BlazeDS manually. Go ahead and create a new flash project. Select J2EE for server technology, but DON’T select use remote object access. I have WTP installed so I have Flash Builder create my web app for me by selecting Create combined J2EE/Flex project using WTP.

Finish the set up as usual. Now you’ll need that BlazeDS war everyone talks about. If you don’t have it yet go get it from the Adobe Release Builds page. You can just grab the Binary Distribution. The Turnkey version just includes a lot of stuff we don’t need right now.

Once you get the War we’ll need to import it into our project. Go to File –> Import then select Archive file under General. Locate the directory where you put the blazeds.war and switch the file type to *.* then select the war.

Now we don’t need everything in this war, sure you can import it all but lets keep things clean.

Deselect the META-INF, classes and src directories. Also you’ll need to change the import into folder field from <project> to <project>/WebContent.

Hit Finish and say yes to overwriting web.xml. See that wasn’t so bad and you just did most of what FlashBuilder did, simply by importing that war yourself.

There is one other thing we need to do before we’re done. The web.xml tells Java where to find the configuration files but we need to let flex know also. It’s pretty easy, just follow my lead.

Open up the project properties and head to flex compiler. See that field additional compiler arguments?  We’re going to update it.

We want to add a compiler option pointing to the configuration files. You can use either a path that’s in the classpath  or a physical location on your drive. We’ll use the latter. Update the Additional compiler arguments to include the following –services “C:\dev\MyProject\WebContent\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml” where dev is your workspace directory and MyProject is your project name. 

Hit OK  and you’re done.

Setting this up manually is a good practice and will make things easier later when we migrate to Maven and Ant. Stay Tuned!!!!
