Apple's .me doesn't work on Google's Chrome

I had to check my Apple mail real quick so I decided to use the web form. I get the log in page just fine, but when I logged in I got a plain text page saying unauthorized. I tried it several times with the same results. Started up firefox and it worked ok, it was a little buggy but everything worked. I think I smell a war between Google and Apple brewing on the horizon.

Gmail Kung Fu - Using an address aliasPrint

Using an address aliasPrint
Gmail doesn't offer traditional aliases, but you can receive messages sent to your.username+any.alias-AT-gmail-DOT-com. For example, messages sent to jane.doe+notes-AT-gmail-DOT-com are delivered to jane.doe-AT-gmail-DOT-com.
You can set up filters to automatically direct these messages to Trash, apply a label or star, skip the inbox, or forward to another email account.

So you could set up emails for websites that won't let you read anything unless you login. Just create gmailname+sendtospam-AT-gmail-DOT-com then create a filter that anything sent to gmailname+sendtospam-AT-gmail-DOT-com gets dumped to the Spam folder.

Lighttpd and bugzilla

installing bugzilla on lighttpd isn't covered so here is the 4 steps you need to do it.

1- Install bugzilla in the http server root.
2- Enable mod_cgi server module:
-------------
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
server.modules += ("mod_cgi")
-------------
3- Add the following lines to the /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
-------------
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/bugzilla/.*" {
# disable directory listings
dir-listing.activate = "disable"
# only allow cgi's in this directory
cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" )
index-file.names = ( "index.cgi" )

}
-------------

4- restart lighttpd ...

MacBook Pro series 1 and windows 7 64 Bit

Let me say right from the beginning I couldn't get a 64 bit OS loaded on an series 1 MacBook Pro. But like Edison I learned alot of ways not to do it. The show stopper was during the install I got the error "trying to load a 64 bit applications. CPU does not support it." No matter what updates I did I couldn't get around that issue. The CPU (T2400) calls itself an x86 type under windows Device Manager. After following that link it turns out not all core Duo's are created equal. What an handy bit info that would have been before I started this process. Strangely not talked about on the intertubes, I guess because mac fan boys like to think they are on the bleeding so it's glossed over. Snow Leopard is pretty much a waste for me.

But it was a good learning experience for me. The first thing I did was replace the hard drive, following these instructions from ExtremeTech made it easy.

Using bootcamp to setup the partitions was easy, so I am not going to cover it here. The problems begin when you try and install off the iso file from technet.com. The file is configured for 90% of the computers in the world, ei it tries and use a BIOS. All the MacBook's use EFI instead of BIOS. During the install you get a error "1. 2. Please select img file", Sergio McFly to the rescue. Just download this file follow the instructions and you will have an iso that boots EFI. I run Vista64 on my main machine and didn't have any burning software, but Neil Monday pointed me in the right direction. This nice thing about ISORecorder Power toy is the right click on the iso brings up the burning menu, making my lazy side very happy.

Installing lighttpd with fast-cgi

I had to compile programs from source since unbreakable linux from Oracle doesn't update fast enough.
Lighttpd is available from lighttpd.net (http://www.lighttpd.net).

To enable FastCGI with lighttpd, it must be configured with a few options. They are:



$ ./configure \

--enable-fastcgi \

--enable-discard-path \

--enable-force-cgi-redirect \

$ make

$ su -

# make install

This will install the lighttpd binary in /usr/local/sbin. Now you should copy two files into place, the startup file and the configuration file.
[edit]
Configuring startup

lighttpd 1.4.10 comes with init.d files for SuSE and Red Hat/CentOS. The SuSE file is doc/rc.lighttpd and the Red Hat file is doc/rc.lighttpd.redhat.

The init.d files assume that the lighttpd binary is in /usr/sbin/lighttpd while the default install location is /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd. You'll have to either move/copy the lighttpd binary to /usr/sbin or edit the init.d file. If you want to edit the init.d file, change following line:

Red Hat/CentOS/Oracle Linux (rc.lighttpd.redhat) edit the following line:

lighttpd="/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd"

Then copy the relevant file to /etc/init.d/lighttpd and you're ready to configure it for automatic startup. For Red Hat, do the following as a superuser:

# cp doc/rc.lighttpd.redhat /etc/init.d/lighttpd
# /sbin/chkconfig --add lighttpd
# /sbin/chkconfig --level {3 4 5} lighttpd on

First look at lighttpd.conf

The lighttpd.conf file is in doc/lighttpd.conf and is typically copied to /etc/lighttpd.conf where it can be edited for your site:

# cp ./doc/lighttpd.conf /etc

At a minimum you'll want to enable mod_fastcgi and set the unprivleged user and group. Add/modify the following in lighttpd.conf:



server.modules = (

    "mod_rewrite",

    "mod_access",

    "mod_simple_vhost",

    "mod_fastcgi",

    "mod_accesslog"

)

server.username  = "lighttpd"

server.groupname = "lighttpd"

Had to edit php.ini to change extension_dir from /usr/lib/php4/ to /usr/local/php5/modules/ and now it works just fine. Trying to use the Photo management program Gallery2 I had to change the memory_limit=24M, post_max_size=24M and upload_max_filesizes=10M in order to handle the large images that I upload.

A Cyber-Attack on an American City

Bruce Perens talks about the fiber cable cut in Morgan Hill, Ca. Dvorak has been doing some research and found this in not a isolated incident, there have been at least 5 other cities where this has happened.
