Mutt Sidebar Cygwin Patch
The latest Cygwin mutt release (1.5.20-1) deviates a bit from standard mutt. After attempting for a bit to get standard mutt to compile and run stable on a Win7 64-bit Cygwin install, I gave up. There is a bad memory leak causing mutt to spiral out of control when calling mmap/mmap64. It appears the Cygwin…

I did a bit of work on integrating mutt and ics invites with google calendar using a python script found here at ub3rgeek.net. The google calendar apis are really easy to use and the gdata python library is excellent. The original script auto-accepted the invite and uploaded it to google calendar when viewed in mutt….

We recently developed an application that requires our partners to incorporate a piece of our html code in their browser page. This component would be responsible for collecting information and posting it back to our site via ajax for validation. The inclusion of our code would be done using server side includes so as to…

I wanted to convert one of our production machines from Fedora to Ubuntu server. One of the services this machine was running was subversion. I both tarred up the repository directory and used ‘svnadmin dump’ to backup the repository. I scp’ed both files to another server. Upon recovery I wanted to use the dump but…

After a recent windows update I found my remote desktop was broken. I did some troubleshooting and packet sniffing and still couldn’t track the problem down. Finally I stumbled upon this post, which fixed my problem. It turned out that an nvidia driver update broke RDP. Updating the driver to the latest WHQL fixed the…

I recently needed to setup TLS for my company’s email server. My primary goal was to reconfigure our sendmail server to negotiate TLS with other email servers that supported it. This would allow us to send secure information via email to companies that also supported email over TLS. The first step was to generate certificates….

I use a Squeezebox to distribute my digital audio at home. I noticed an issue in Squeezecenter, the audio server, that can cause duplicate detection of songs in your library. If you have your Squeezecenter detect and parse your playlists, your playlists must reference your music using the same path structure that you use in…

I recently upgraded my bugzilla installation to 3.5 to find my Eclipse-mylyn integration had broken. After some traffic inspection and a look at buglist.cgi, I found that new code was added to “clean” advanced bug queries. This code cleans the query, then performs a redirect to the new clean query using the correct bugzilla hostname…
