I didn't know ripping Wall-E would be so hard. http://bit.ly/18hgV 12 hrs ago
I’ve completely neglected this site over the last week or two and I’m disappointed I completely brok my goal of posting every day. And it’s not that I don’t have much to post about either; I bought an iPhone, I’ve got a lot of tutorials for CentOS on Media Temples (dv) plan, I moved off of Trac and went with Warehouse for all my repos and there are some great projects I’m working on mostly all on Wordpress. There’s just…
Using TaDa list to manage my tasks, since it has an awesome iPhone interface :), and I’m finding that I have a lot to do:
Two major freelance sites,
Search Everything and WP 2.3,
Theme Updates,
Maintenance,
Server Administration,
Blog posting and tutorials,
and then I get to the wants, and I fear that not enough time exists in my world:
New plugins,
New WP iPhone theme backend and frontend [Link] (0)
I’m officially on mediatemple now and after getting my VPS or (dv) cleansed of plesk I noticed Yum was not installed. I’m planning on doing a full writeup after a few days but for now I’ll get this tutorial on how to install Yum on CentOS 4 out of the way.
First off you’ll need to install a key from the centos mirrors,
# rpm –import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4
Next let’s start installing yum,
# rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libxml2-python is needed by yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch

For some reason or another I could not find good documentation on installing Subversion and Trac on fc6 while also using Apache so I’ve simply just documented what I’ve learned and just implemented on my own system.
This tutorial is about the installation of a development enviroment on FC6 it’s not a how-to for using it. If you need to know more I recommend reading Version Control with Subversion (I just ordered it).
Requirements
You need to install these packages before we start…
Update on hacking the TV, there is an extremely easy tutorial on how to get your apple TV to do just about anything I’d ever want from a media center. One awesome step is to replace frontrow with centerstage. Centerstage is an opensource application for digital media that will play just about every video format. Another great thing to hear is the enabling of quartz desktop to make the TV another computer.
Before anyone asks why choose TV when you could just buy a…
Something Jared and I have been talking about is getting our own server and running OpenVZ or another opensource alternative. Here’s a great tutorial on OpenVZ and how to install it.
Virtualization is nice! A good practice for servers, since it makes things more secure, scalable, replacable, and replicable. All this at the cost of little added complexity.
A short and sweet tutorial on how to create enable a dav server.
It’ll be nice to use my own server for my icals and some quick file storage to replace icalexchange.com and box.net.
Found my next project: Do it yourself .Mac
One of the many reasons I love the OS X. No Quicksilver is not built in but it’s one of the wonderful free apps that windows doesn’t have.
The new iPod video formatting is extremely hard to follow and hopefully this review will help. I created it because I just wanted to put the highest quality video on my 5g video iPod for playback on a TV.
DVD Ripping
The first hurdle was finding the app that would rip my DVDs to H.264. I used Instant Handbrake (with the unofficial icons of course) in the past, but as you might know it rips the DVDs in the old file size of…
Following my previous post I set out to get it straightened out this weekend and after hours and hours of messing with my Sipura Phone Adapter’s configuration I figured out Gizmo’s 775 service doesn’t work with hardware. I looked for hours on “one-way” calling problems with “no voice on receive” and I finally found at the bottom of 775 comparison table that 775 doesn’t work with hardware. What a mess. So now instead of having the awesome call screening and dual ringing we…
