  • Setting up ejabberd and bandersnatch for xmpp chat logging   3 weeks 4 days ago

    Hi Dan,
    I couldn't find it on the bandersnatch home page, but found it through a mirror site or something. Can't remember the link off hand. I've attached a copy here so you could use that one if you want.

    I cannot find the "attached" bandersnatch tarball. Could you provide some directions on how to get it, please?

    As Charlie said .. it's funny coz it's true. Digging for requirements is an art in itself.

    I must have spent 2 hours in a meeting on Tuesday with the exact same dialog.

  • Runing Google Tasks on your linux desktop   7 weeks 2 days ago

    I feel the love, but I'm really after a simple solution. I like the fact that it's integrated with my google account. For more complex project management type stuff I use Jira. I used emacs a bit a uni, but it's been yeaarrss ..

  • Runing Google Tasks on your linux desktop   7 weeks 2 days ago

    I too share you love of lists. If you are a bit crazy (like me), give emacs org-mode a shot. IMHO It is the best list making system eva (but if you don't already use emacs you might want to pass) http://orgmode.org/

    Slap it on a webdav server and share across OSs - there is even an iphone app to edit the org files.

  • Beijing's Foreign Internet Purge   7 weeks 2 days ago

    I understand that Australia has a pseudo socialist government in that we pay high taxes which fund allot of public services. I was under the impression that a totally socialist government was much the same thing as communist. I stand corrected, but still don't understand the difference fully.

  • Dilbert - Software Requirements   7 weeks 2 days ago

    I've done work for that guy... :)

    "China has a socialist government"

    ummm noo, it has a communist goverment, socialism and democracy can go together.
    democracy is simply a method of electing a government, many socialist proponents promote democracy and see socialism as a pure form of democracy.

    the US is the only country in the world afraid of socialism like its the plague yet it has the largest socialist military in the world, its almost a $trillion of government money funding this socialist war machine.

    only thing non socialist in the US is the healthcare system.
    in europe its the best part.
    In the US its scare campaigns on health lol, I've been there and lived under both systems.

  • Beijing's Foreign Internet Purge   7 weeks 4 days ago

    I may just be ... after a little bit of googling I can see that there are differences. It's a fine line though... You could say that socialism is a subset of communism .. I'm not an expert on politics, but I could draw you a Venn diagram :)

    I guess you're being sarcastic about the US being socialist. Since you don't have any public medical care or social services to the degree the rest of the world enjoys. From what I've heard from friends in China, the government there does do allot of good in looking after the public. However, it comes at a price of some personal freedoms.

    To be honest I'm not sure that any of us have it right, but I think we strike a pretty good balance here in Australia.

  • Beijing's Foreign Internet Purge   7 weeks 4 days ago

    I think you may be mistaken, I believe that the Chinese have a communist government. In the US we have a socialist one.

    I think the porn problem would be better handled at the ISP level. It would be a BIG selling point for ISP's in my opinion. I recently set up Dans Guardian at home to filter things for my two boys. They're getting to the age where I think they'll be getting curious and I don't want them stumbling on some of the sick stuff out there in the cyber world.

    BTW .. where's here ?

  • Beijing's Foreign Internet Purge   7 weeks 4 days ago

    I wonder if Google offered to block porn, but no other information if that would at least clear up the water...help the Chinese people to see their governments true intentions. Personally, I wish the government would block porn here.

  • Migrating from BlogCfc to Drupal   9 weeks 3 days ago

    Hi Mike, thanks for the tip. It looks good, but one of the main reasons for me migrating was to consolidate the blog with my website. It makes it a bit easier to manage only having to upgrade a single code base.

    Did you consider MangoBlog?

  • Programmer Competency Matrix   9 weeks 5 days ago

    I find it amusing how management types seem to think they can achieve anything by walking on the people under them. You'd end up looking stupid anyway if you started asking questions about things you don't understand.

  • Programmer Competency Matrix   23 weeks 3 days ago

    Nice information. Thank you for sharing. Now we can find even more reasons to pay developers even less. And as a free bonus this matrix will allow us always look smarter then the candidate during the interview.

  • Sites using bytespring CMS   37 weeks 3 days ago

    Jason
    Actually Tagit has gone from the site list but miossing are:
    Autoaudio.co.nz
    Imed.co.nz
    Gonz.net.nz

    I tend to use this for my smaller sites as it is east and FAST.
    Not that these are all running on Railo/Resin uner Centos5
    the autoaudio site uses the recursive menu
    Dont blame me for the text highlighting choices!!

  • Installing SSL for Apache 2.2.4   45 weeks 2 days ago

    I know this is an old post, but I just downloaded Apache 2.24 from the Apache site and it looks like it's equipped with all what you need for SSL. I remember when running 2.059 that I had to install some stuff manually that wasn't there with the install. I think if you uncomment the mod_ssl module and look at one of those guides from the links above on how to tgneerate a certificate, that will do the trick. I'm just basing this on my experience with Apache.
