The Site Has A New Look … On Your Android!
Since this PairUp game gets popular, we notice that more and more traffic to our site are from Android phone. But we know the site is not really mobile friendly, so we decided to do something about it.
Just now, we installed a mobile plugin for Wordpress — yes, our site is powered by Wordpress — [...]
Set Default File Permission For a Specific Directory
I have a powerful desktop, — and yes, runs Linux. It has a quad-core CPU, and 10GB RAM. My wife only has a small laptop. So, when she needs to do more serious work, like photo processing, she logs in my machine (using her own account) to do it.
And then we have a problem. All [...]
SCIM on NX Client
I work remotely a lot. So NX client is my best friend. It is fast, even under crappy Internet connection in a coffee shop.
But occasionally I need to input Chinese. I installed SCIM on my home machine, and it works beautifully when I work locally. However, it didn’t work when I use NX client to [...]
Setup ViewVC / Subversion with Apache Server on OpenSuse (2)
Ok, it is not done yet. I found another problem today.
Everything worked great in my home network. But today, when I tried to check out code from outside network, I found a problem. I didn’t open port 22 for my home server. Instead, I open a non-stand port on my router and forward traffic on [...]
Setup ViewVC / Subversion with Apache Server on OpenSuse
Recently I tryied to setup a development server at home. It’s pretty easy to install the subversion server since there are so many great tutorials online. I don’t want to use HTTP protocol to remote access my code repository because I always like svn+ssh better. But I do want a web interface to browse my [...]
Setup a Unbreakable SSH Tunnel
My company doesn’t have VPN setup. To be able to work from home, usually I have to setup a reversed ssh tunnel from office to my home server (my home router forwards port 12345 to my home server port 22) by running this command from my office machine:
ssh -R 10000:localhost:22 my.homeserver.com -p 12345
In this way, [...]
JVM Wrong Timezone Bug
A few weeks ago we noticed that one of our applications had wrong timestamps in the log files by late for an hour.
At first I thought the timezone setting in the OS could be wrong but our ops people confirmed it is actually correct. Then I thought the JVM settings on that server must have [...]
Install Skype on OpenSuse x86_64
More than a year ago, when I chose OpenSuse as my desktop OS, clearly I made a wrong decision — I mean, OpenSuse is very good, but I shouldn’t have chosen the x86_64 version. There are just too many compatibility issues.
Anyway, I don’t want to reinstally my OS yet, so I have to deal with [...]
The Road to A Perfect HTPC (1) — The Start
Early last month, when I was wandering in a Fry’s store, I found a returned Netgear EVA8000 digital media center. I have always been looking for a good multimedia hub for my living room, but had never found a satisfying one. The feature set of EVA8000 looked pretty good to me, and I remembered some [...]
