Bueno este envio tiene ya tres años no es raro que las páginas cambien sus links y los administradores irresponsables rompan los links viejos. Creo que esta vez no me molestare en buscar enlaces de reemplazo, supongo que no debe ser muy dificil encontrar los documentos nuevamente. Solo los marco como rotos, gracias por el aviso.

Re: Uzbl Browser

Good, I'm going to corred the PID on the post.

The patch needs work since the button it's hardcoded and I think it would be against the uzbl spirit of doing this stuff.

I agree that the scripts render awfully on the blog, I'm going to move them there and link from here.

I might just suck it up and run ejabberd and say "well, at least it's better than dreamhost," or something. I really doubt that openfire would be better, and some tweaking to make ejabberd a bit more lightweight wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

I use google mail as a hosted backup/filtering/etc service, rather than as the home of my mail. Mail goes to my server, gets forwarded to gmail, gmail forwards back to my user-account and then I use git/rsync to keep my maildir in sync with itself. If that makes sense. mail > gmail > procmail > maildir > git > my computer. And I could, if I needed to use mutt over SSH rather than web mail. It's a libre solution, but it doesn't really scale well beyond one person.

I think you're right about syadmining being a not-incredibly creative job. It isn't, and I think a lot of people feel as you do about it. So on one level there's value because no one wants to do it, really. Secondly, while its not exciting, on some level, I think it's also the one point in the "equation of web services" where a concrete exchange happens: systems administrators make sure things work, and that services are available, and on the whole people are generally willing to pay for someone else to attend to those details.

In the writing of software the exchange is much less concrete: something is created, but we can't sell copies/instances of the software (really), and advertising support is difficult make work effectively. And community organizing/editorial filtering creates a more concrete value in a much less concrete sort of way. If that makes sense. While I don't think running the servers and supporting the running of the software is *the only* place where people can make money online (particularly with libre services), but I do think it's the most stable/sturdy/obvious business model.

Ejabberd is quite heavy on the memory usage part, I don't know how much ram you got but basic linode tends to choke on ejabberd's default config. I guess it can go lower but it will require some sort of tweaking. Transports and stuff like that doesn't eat too much ram.

Mail is such a pain to setup that I ended using google hosted mail, since it requires very few steps to get it working. But, well you handle them all your mail.

I'm willing to get out of there for some of the domains I handle but for others the users are quite happy with their google hosted accounts. I need to find a more libre solution that copes with my lazyness of dealing with a smtp+smap filter+ssl+pop/imap+webmail setup.

On the system administration part of your post. I have a mixed feeling about it, some times I like it and most of the time it feels rather "uncreative" job. I'm not well suited for that kind of task.

Glad it fills a need for you. Let me know if you run into problems or
have improvement suggestions.

Good, I was needing this badly, even with tramp on emacs it's not that easy. I even setup apache but that approach is a lot more troublesome than this

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

Thanks, I'll give it a try and do a benchmark to see if It's better to
the other solution in the above comments.

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

zaphar — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:53:49 -0000

yeah ++ is less efficient. [Push | drop_last(List)] would be better. That's what I get for coding when I'm tired. but the basic concept is the same.

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

deepspawn — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:24:26 -0000

Nice, I'm just repeating what I have read so far but

[Push] ++ drop_last(List)

Wouldn't it be better written as:

[ Push | drop_last(List)]

Anyway, ++ is discouraged since it makes a copy of the left operator and with long lists it would be highly inefficient, in this case it wouldn't be much of a problem but I still like more how the second one looks.

Thank you a lot for this idea, I'm guessing it's probably the best way to write it on erlang.

Re: Emacs Denting mode for laconicas (incliding identi.ca)

deepspawn — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:12:53 -0000

Hello, I had the very same problem but Christian Cheng sent me a patch which solves the issue. I did my work without proper search first so I duplicated a lot of your efforts and I did a merge with your code few days ago so denting-mode has most of the features you did implement. I don't know if you updated the code recently but I will check again the diffs to merge your work in.

Sorry for taking so long, well It's not so hard

line 661 of current denting-mode.el

648 (defun denting-http-post-default-sentinel (proc stat &optional suc-msg)
649
650 (condition-case err-signal
651 (let ((header (denting-get-response-header))
652 ;; (body (denting-get-response-body)) not used now.
653 (status nil))
654 (string-match "HTTP/1\.1 \$[a-z0-9 ]+\$\r?\n" header)
655 (setq status (match-string-no-properties 1 header))
656 (case-string status
657 (("200 OK")
658 (message (if suc-msg suc-msg "Success: Post")))
659 (t (message status)))
660 )
661 (error (message (prin1-to-string err-signal))))
662 )

You can replace it with:

(error (message "Failed")))

You will replace the annoying message for a brief "Failed" message, it will not solve the issue but at least will not bug you with the full error. I will keep the full error printing for now, since maybe I can do a proper fix of the problem.

hey deepspawn, what do you mean by "shutting the hell out of it by capturing the error" -- sorry, not really a coder, don't quite get what you mean.
not sure it'sthe api limit since it now seems to come up every time, not just occasionally. though now i think of it, gwibber was up on this machine as well, will shut it down and try in a few minutes.

my wrapper funciton looks a lot like the one you built, though yours is a little bit better. thanks! -- matt

Re: Emacs Denting mode for laconicas (incliding identi.ca)

deepspawn — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:58:55 -0000

Yes I have the same problem, it's a bit annoying but totally harmless, it's just the xml parser failing from time to time to parse the laconica response. For a quick fix I only can think about shutting the hell out of it by capturing the error. On the proper way to solve the problem, it would require to figure out why the twitter/identica serves bad xml and correct it. My bets are on the api limit(so maybe just setting up the update interval to a larger number might fix it)

Also you can avoid the wrapper function by using the identi.cas twitter bridge on your account settings. If you really want that function I think it would be something like this:

(defun multi-update-status-from-minibuffer (&optional init-str)
(if (null init-str) (setq init-str ""))
(let ((status init-str))
(setq status (read-from-minibuffer "status: " status nil nil nil nil t))
(denting-update-status-if-not-blank status)
(twittering-update-status-if-not-blank status)))

deepspawn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:45:56 -0000

Well all my old comments that were imported wrongly to disqus will have to stay like that.

If disqus could do a real deleteion of comments I could run import again and that should fix it. But even when they are deleted, disqus keeps them and when I try to import them again it doesn't update the posts or create new ones.

Re: Disqus comments now on Valkertown

deepspawn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:51:36 -0000

Managed to fix it, now I have to see how disqus handles it since it first imported the wrongly encoded plugins and now it has to import the properly encoed. Will it create duplicates or will it update them properly.

Re: Disqus comments now on Valkertown

deepspawn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:45:18 -0000

Testing now disqus, and regreting I have just wasted all my encoding, maybe if I process again the database I can get the stuff right.

Re: Setting my desktop backgrounds from Flickr

Carlos Perilla — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:44:44 -0000

Sure let me google a bit about it.

It seems that for ubuntu the simplest way would be something like this:

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/path/to/image.ext"

So in the script it would be replace line 13 with

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$BG1"

and line 23 with

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /tmp/cur_bg.bmp

Try it and tell me if it works

Re: Setting my desktop backgrounds from Flickr

Carlos Perilla — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:37:58 -0000

Well you can install Eterm it most likely will install also Esetroot.

I use it since it works with the transparency from rxvt-unicode but you could replace it with some other command that lets you set the background from the command line.

There was a little mistake that now is corrected on the post, on line 9 of the python script it should be "tagmode" and not "tagsmode", otherwise you will end with a very narrow set of images.

Re: Goodbye Pownce, shutting down Jance

Carlos Perilla — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:31:45 -0000

Hello Evan, it was an xmpp bot to interact with Pownce.

I implemented most of the pownce API and added some very interesting regexpes track/blacklist capabilites.

I don't know if it would be of much use for laconica since most of the problems it solves are now pretty much solved now for laconica, Yet there may be one or two ideas that might be interesting to see on xmpp bots from identi.ca

I'm going to publish them now, I was waiting to see if there was any problem from my current employer if I do that, but seems that there's no problem.
