Yeah!! Twitter have reactivated my account :D. Good news!! I’ve written a patch for my wordpress theme and now it reads the caption from twitter :D. I still have to fix some performance problems, but… here it goes: require_once 'XML/Feed/Parser.php'; $feeds = fopen('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/26378338.atom','r'); $source = ""; if ($feeds) { while ($s = fread($feeds, 1024)) { $source .= $s; } } $feed = new XML_Feed_Parser($source,false,true,true); $first_entry = $feed->getEntryByOffset(0); $title = $first_entry->title; $little_title = substr($title, 13, 30); $little_title .= (strlen($title) > 43) ? '...' : ''; print "<a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/capitangolo\">$little_title</a>"; Updated: Thanks to: http://remysharp.com/2007/05/18/add-twitter-to-your-blog-step-by-step/. Now my tweets are loaded by javascript, so my blog loads much fast :D. ...

This wenesday I’ll be at the MySQL Conference & Expo 2009 as speaker :): koke and me will show how ANSTE can be used to test the MySQL Cluster. ANSTE is a testing tool for complex scenarios. It allows to run tests loading some virtual machines, configuring it’s network interfaces and runing some scripts on them.

We had a issue for the next Warp Talk. All the talk will be done with a shell as presentation tool. But people won’t see the text on the shell trough the cam, as it resolution is limited. Isaac have found vía Debian package of the day Gems. Gems allows exactly what we need, broadcast a terminal by tcp/ip. Screen would be the first thought, but a ssh connection from unknown people was needed :S. ...

I’m using eBox to manage my server. eBox was mind for enterprise networks, but dns and email modules are very useful for a internet server. eBox manages email users with openLDAP (slapd), so I wanted all the services in my server to use the same authentication. This is the general configuration for apache authenticating with eBox, wich I use for my SVN repositories: # LDAP Authentication & Authorization is final; do not check other databases AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on # Do basic password authentication in the clear AuthType basic AuthBasicProvider ldap # The name of the protected area or "realm" AuthName "Triangulo de las merluzas Subversion Repositories" # Active Directory requires an authenticating DN to access records # This is the DN used to bind to the directory service # This is an Active Directory user account AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=admin,dc=ebox" # This is the password for the AuthLDAPBindDN user in Active Directory AuthLDAPBindPassword "secret" # Group Configuration AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid # The LDAP query URL AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=Users,dc=ebox?uid" # Require authentication for this Location. # In this case, only developers can use the repository. Require ldap-group cn=developers,ou=Groups,dc=ebox

I updated my Wordpress today and it looks like there’s some chaos with the rss feed. Sorry if it gets some spamming behaviour, I’m working on it.

2009 Starts quite interesantly. This Monday took place the first Warp Talks, a project of training between employees at Warp Networks. The last Monday of the month will take place a new Warp Talk. koke and me where the first speakers. I made an introduction to subversion, and he did a talk about 10 things you might not know about MySQL. Koke took a camera and recorded our talks at the same time they were being broadcasted at justin.tv. Videos are available at vimeo (spanish): ...

After my awful Drunken-Blogging experiment, i’m gonna try to write a real post. This Thursday, Koke and me attended the MySQL Conference at London. Talks were customer oriented, that’s great for me as I’m used to a developer vision of MySQL, and i’ll have to talk to customers in training sessions. There was some things that everyone was repeating on every talk. Replication, backup, high availability and sacalbility. I’m sure that I’ll be asked about those things while training. ...

One of the biggest problems with Bootcamp comes the day you need a bigger mac partition. The Disk Utility on MacOs X can’t resize partitions if using Bootcamp, and resizing Mac GPT partition from linux can be risky. So, you can buy a pro partition utility… or you can resize from shell without rebooting and without burning a boot CD. First is making some room for the new partition. Resize and move your Bootcamp partitions to leave some free space at the begining, between the mac partition and the first bootcap one. Ok, here you may need to burn a Live CD and boot from it. ...
