Actually it didn’t , but now I got your attention.
We just adopted the use of adding headers to all of our files that are managed by puppet so people will know not to touch it
All worked nice however upon bootstrapping our Xen host the bridges stopped working .. running the network-custom-vlan-bridges script manually solved everything and created the appropriate bridges. But at boottime it didn’t..
So I bought myselve a new gadget, a tablet. I wanted a couple of things, first of all I love the mythdroid app as a remote control for my MythTV, but as it runs on my phone and kids don’t have a phone it was pretty much a blocking issue when I wasn’t at home.
The second thing I wanted was a device for the kids to play small games on … and I also want to use it for the kids to watch some movies while we travel. On top of that it would be handy if I could use it to surf the web from my couch while not having to open up my laptop.
So earlier today the nice folks over at twitter figured it was a good time to change all the authentication to oauth … they might have announced it all over the place .. but it never catched my attention
The onlything that did catch my attention was that after not having ued pidgin for about 2 weeks I didn’t have access to twitter anymore.
I`m using the purple-microblog plugin and the default version of that plugin in Fedora 12 wasn’t really up2date. The plugin supports OAuth as of 3.0 which was released ages ago.
You might have noticed that this blog stopped accepting comments about a month ago.. well. stopped accepting is a big word.. I was still accepting comments, only they were never submitted to the database and after entering a comment to my blog people ended up on a white page.
So upon returning from holliday I set out to debug the issue together with one of our Inuits Drupal geeks and quickly ran into the following error.\
I`m not the biggest fan of openSUSE but this weeks post by Colin Charles makes me happy ..
openSUSE users can now do a mariadb install from their default repositories.
With all the fuzz about Snoracle and MySQL’s future last year to me it became clear that we would end up having different MySQL based distributions, probably with different names, and that it would be up to the Linux distributions to provide the users with what they preferred, working with those Linux distributions
therefore would be very important for the MySQL distributions.
People start actually building it (French Article)
Then add to that list that there’s also people out there that think that running MySQL over NFS is providing them High Availability, or that using DNS Round Robin will provide them a scalable setup,
So yes .. apparently there is indeed a parallel universe out there.
And no .. I don’t want to see Webmin in any Appliance .. that is a joke…, or rather a rant ..
Couple of Fridays ago we had one of our @Inuits days again. Rather than having some people give talks and presentations about what they have been doing for the past couple of months this time we set out to research, test, and build stuff.
We split up in 3 different groups, one focusing on CI and testing freshly build stuff with cucumber, a second one setup and tested Galera
We setup a 3 node Galera cluster , not really as smooth as we’d like to ..
It’s a typical situation, the developers develop on their own boxen, they only start to integrate their code on on the production platform 3 hours before the deadline. And then the problems start, the typical “But it works on my system” , “its your problem now” is something nobody really likes to hear .
