A .desktop file for gksudo

By drink | Sat February 09, 2013

I myself probably should have looked for one of these before I made this one; it's a .desktop file for gksudo that gives you access to it from the GUI in non-incidental ways. Below the break you'll find the text, which is not very long.

Preview OpenELEC 3 for Raspberry Pi right now

By drink | Thu February 07, 2013

I wanted to run OpenELEC 3 to get XBMC 12 "Frodo" because cancel works, which is to say that I've never previously been able to cancel actions like browsing a SMB server and I've been running XBMC since it was XBMP. To make a long story short, OpenELEC 2.99.2 (RC2) has nonworking bluetooth. Some have reported success with 2.99.1 but that didn't work for me either. But as of yesterday (20130206) there is a dev build that does work, and I have installed it.

Set the clock on the dockstar

By drink | Tue February 05, 2013

The dockstar doesn't have an RTC to keep costs down. If you're running Debian Squeeze (and you probably should be) then you can make the following tweak to /etc/init.d/ntp to use ntpdate (which you should also install) to set the time before running ntp.

Mercedes Bushwhacking

By drink | Wed January 16, 2013

When a one day job becomes a two day job because a part is incorrectly specified or otherwise wrong, you can be sure that you are having an excellent time. When the new self-locking nut intended to retain one end of my driver's side front suspension carrier sheared away from its magical captive shim during yesterday's automotive repair attempt, I knew that I was in for a really good time.

Updating drupal 7 core manually

By drink | Thu December 20, 2012

I guess this should have been obvious to me long ago, but if you have shell access you can near-instantly upgrade drupal like this:

wget (new drupal release)
tar xfz (new drupal release)
cd drupal-(new drupal version)
rm -rf sites
rsync .htaccess * (your drupal root)

If you need it spelled out a little more closely, here's what the commands look like for me for 7.18, which seems to be a security update...
