Re: [OT] 37signals book on web app development.
Joe Andre, I understand your point, although I wonder how many of these MBAs will ever read that kind of book, and how many of them will follow any of the advices it contains, because they're completely brain-locked... Hence the double meaning of my question : do we really need that kind of advice ? 1- because we, as programmers and/or ppl working in small structures know those advices and follow them for years 2- because bean counters will never take the time and energy to have a look at it... JB JB, I have to agree with Andre. We have so many MBAs and bean counters controlling what is being done at the highest levels, mostly with very little in the world practical knowledge/experience that they need to be shown/told how to get out of the book learning and into the Real world. What else can you expect with a real idiot running the U.S.A. at the VERY highest level. I thought most of the advice was well conceived; although I already practice it myself - in my real world.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Hi Andre, have you tried removing the drive from your MacBook (easy to do with the new laptops) and seeing if the machine will boot from CD/DVD without it? If not then the machine is dead, and your disk may be recoverable. For that you'd need someone with an equivalent MacBook that you could put your messed-up (not dead we hope) drive into. You could firewire mount that onto yet another Mac system and copy your home filestore onto that, or back it up onto DVD-R. I've done variations on this in the past to recover dead systems. -- Phil Jimmieson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (UK) 0151 795 4236 Computer Science Dept., Liverpool University, Ashton Building, Ashton Street Liverpool L69 3BX http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~phil/ I used to sit on a special medical board... ...but now I use this ointment. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Error in textFont reporting?
Sorry if this question has been asked before (I suspect it might have been), but a quick answer from somebody could be quicker than searching. I have a single word (e.g. robert) in a field test. The whole word is in the Courier font, but the middle 2 letters are of a size different to the others. I am doing something like this in the field's coding: on mouseMove if the selectedText is not empty then put the textFont of the selectedText into field result end if end mouseMove OR on mouseMove if the selectedChunk is not empty then put the textFont of the selectedChunk into field result end if end mouseMove If I select the whole word in field test, instead of courier in the field result I get mixed. But it is the SIZE that is mixed, NOT the font name! I am using Rev 2.6.1. Am I doing something silly, or is this a known error? If it is a known error, is there a workaround? Has it been fixed in Rev 2.7? Thanks in advance for your patience.

Re: Error in textFont reporting?
A workaround (assuming that the textfont is never actually going to be mixed) might be to get the textFont of char 1 of the selectedText.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre This worked for my iBook too and is a cheap and easy diy solution if the actual drive and mechanism is OK. If there is a problem with the drive itself, and *no other means of recovery is open to you* then you may have nothing to lose by disassembling (or getting someone else to disassemble) the HD itself and transferring its platters to another mechanism. This is a high risk last resort strategy for the point at which you are already regarding the data as lost. Google under 'disassemble hard drive'.

Andre... It does sound like a head crash, which would have destroyed a chunk of your disk which you have to recover through heroic effort. If the noise was caused by something else, as it happened to me some time ago, I took the hard drive out of my cooked computer, put into a USB external housing, connected it to another computer and got my data back...

I can't figure out what's going on. It's like the revZip external is not loading. I'm just doing this in the IDE, so it should be available. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, The fact that the computer will not boot from other drives is a good thing. It indicates that the problem is probably on the board not the HD. I trust you've tried removing the HD from the problem computer to see if it works in another. If it IS the HD, then the less tinkering the better. One of my customers had massive problems with one of his HDs (he reformatted it!) and a company called Drive Savers managed to save almost everything on it. On OLD drives the freezer trick sometimes works. You wrap up the drive so there is no moisture. Put it in the freezer. When chilled, you bring it out and hit it on the side with a rubber hammer. This solves a stiction problem where the drives are overparked or stuck to the disk - as I said, usually a problem with older drives. Obviously a last resort, all else failed, drive is considered lost anyway, situation. For future reference: Your data is too valuable to trust to a single computer. I've found SuperDuper (free trial) and an inexpensive Firewire HD to be priceless. You probably have more data than I do so it may take longer but, in my case, I can completely backup about 30 Gig in 50 minutes with a 2 1/2 Firewire 400 drive - other drives might be twice as fast. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear of you misfortune and wish you the best. Please keep all of us informed. We are rooting for you!

StackRunner and MySQL
Thanks, Ken. Your suggestion would certainly explain why the database calls sent by this stack don't work on computers where Revolution is not installed, but my computer includes the dbmysql.bundle file in the Database Drivers folder, and the problem still occurs. Just to make sure I have files in the right places, I have StackRunner in the folder that contains the 2.7.4 installation. The Database Drivers is nested in that same folder, and the stack I'm trying to run is nested in a folder that's also in the main 2.7.4 installation folder. Should that work? Many thanks for your help. Sieg Lindstrom Ken Ray wrote: Well, StackRunner 1.5 was built using the 2.7.2 engine (see the bottom of the page at http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/ downloads/StackRunner.htm), so it's possible that the mySQL commands were changed between 2.7.2 and 2.7.4. However it's more likely that you don't have the mysQL database drivers in the right place... StackRunner has the revdb external in it so you can make database calls, but it is not bundled with all the database drivers. These drivers should be in the Database Drivers folder of your 2.7.4 installation and include something called dbmysql.bundle which you'll need to connect to in order to use mysQL from StackRunner. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, Do not have you macbook shipped out to Apple for repair before you recover your data. Apple will typically reformat (or even replace) a hard drive even when it is in for unrelated repairs. It is possible that the hard drive has failed and is keeping the system from booting from the other drives. As others have suggested, disconnect the drive from the machine and try to boot from another device. But before you do that, have you tried Firewire target disk mode? (Try to start the machine with the T key held down)? What was your backup machine and what's broken? I might have the spare part you need.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, here's another tip I ran across: The Unix program dd is a disk copying util that you can use at the command line in order to make a disk image. It makes a bit-by-bit copy of the drive it's copying, caring nothing about filesystem type, files, or anything else. It's a great way to workaround the need for Norton Ghost. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050302225659382 also when you get the drive hooked up to another machine use Data Rescue II FIRST to gather as much stuff from your drive as possible, even with a crashed TOC http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php this does the magic that Norton used to do years ago.

Re: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, People have given some excellent advice here. I just want to underscore some of the items and give you a couple additional ones: 1) The weird noise may not be a physical failure of the hard disk. A bad controller or motherboard can instruct the hard disk to do unnatural things. You also mentioned something about the motherboard being replaced. The very cheapest thing to do is to yank that hard drive out of the Mac and put it into a USB/Firewire housing. They cost as low as $14 mail order and no more than $45 for the top-of-the-line models. There are two advantages to getting a housing: - You can try to boot from the drive using a borrowed Mac. - You can attach it to a working Mac (or even PC) to have someone try to get the data off it. I wouldn't let that MacBook talk to that hard disk anymore. Yank the HD out (well, carefully) and try getting it to mount on a known-good computer. 2) As someone mentioned before, don't let Apple get their hands on the drive. Like all manufacturers, they are a component-swap shop, not a hard drive recovery service. Sending it to Apple is one way to make sure you data goes bye-bye. 3) I'm sure just about anyone here would be willing to help you try to get your data back; let me add my name to the list. 4) I'm not sure how big your disk is, but an 80GB 3.5-in drive is about $45 and the external USB/Firewire housing for them is about another $20. (Check newegg.com out.) For $65 you get a pretty amazing external backup solution. Usually plenty of space for your data (you don't need to back up system software and applications that come on CD). You don't need one of those fancy pre-built external things; it's super easy to build your own. 5) Dreamhost may not be the ideal ISP but the reason I kept them is they give me 400GB of storage and 4TB of transfer, which increases weekly by 2GB/32GB, for $20/month (or much less if you prepay). They don't mind if you back up your drive to their servers, in fact they have a knowledgebase article on how to do it. What a huge peace of mind to have your files on a server that is offsite, redundant drives, air conditioned, UPS backed up, accessible from anywhere in the world, etc. (And they have improved their throughput and reliability a LOT since the summer.) Good luck! Andre Garzia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Friends, I was here coding some AJAX programs and developing libraries, my macbook just made a strange mechanical noise and then it was dead... when tried to boot, it made lots of mechanical noises and it never booted again. The noises are comming from the hard drive. I am assuming I lost everything. all my source code for the last year and everything I was working. I don't know what is broken... but I can't make it boot even from CDs... I don't know what I am to do now. I am writting from my old G4. I was doing some contract work and then it broke.

Re: Dr. Strangelove (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and LoveXML)
The problem with XML is that people can do any old thing they want with it. While the RULES are ridiculously strict, the implementations can drive you nuts. For example, look at the cookies.plist file on a Mac. It has a really wacky setup that I think makes it all but impossible to parse with the RevXML library without walking through it. Its something like: person attributes fieldName/field valueBill/value fieldEyeColor/field valueBlue/value /attributes /person Whereas the Rev library seems to make it easier to do something like: person name=Bill eyecolor=blue / To be honest, I usually poke around in Sarah's stack and then figure out which function(s) I need through trial and error. It's just harder for me to visualize what I want to accomplish with XML. I can say that once you figure out what two or three commands you need to use to parse an XML file, it's way faster than using chunk expressions or some other method. - Bill Martin Blackman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I reckon people get put off by the long revXML function names and all the parameters. But if you are fortunate enough to have Galaxy, it makes things easier - you type the first few characters then use the autocomplete function!

Re: OT: SSH on OS X
Hello. I'd assume that it would only port forward on incoming WAN traffic since the router is performing network address translation. The forwarding lets the router know where incoming traffic should go since you could have hundreds of computers behind the same router. What kind of denial messages are you getting, as that could hint at what is causing the problem. Also, Hamachi's GUI is Windows only IF you go through just Hamachi. There is a graphical client called HamachiX (http://hamachix.com) that does lack some of the functionality of the Windows version since it is not officially supported by the Hamachi team (Chatting, pings from in application, premium accounts, magic ports) but does just as well and even lets you set up quick-connect options for FTP, AFP, SFTP, and other services. HamachiX is nice if you want the GUI, but the command line version (Which, I believe, is installed by HamachiX) is very functional and is sometimes preferable to the GUI if you're trying to troubleshoot your Hamachi connection. Type hamachi -h from the command line for usage information once it's installed on your system. If you're just looking for the command line, the source compilation instructions are rather lightweight and can be found in the included README file. It doesn't tell you that to do something as root you prepend the command with the command sudo and enter your administrator password. Thanks, Brent Anderson CMSEC On Jan 16, 2007, at 3:36 PM, J.

I believe these are currently in beta. 'Neoprene' is a property that can be set in particularly loud stacks, and will help to insulate adjacent stacks from interference. 'Structural Engineer' is a smart scripting agent (think Microsoft Bob) that will help us to avoid programming errors such as infinite loops, and will suggest useful re-factorings etc. The future's bright! :) Mark On 17 Jan 2007, at 00:49, Jim Ault wrote: Yep, this is another example of incomplete documentation in Rev...

This is interesting, as Hamachi is marked as Universal on Hamachi.cc and I haven't had any troubles with it (Apart from dealing with getting my firewall configured appropriately).

You really don't want to be messing with drive platters yourself. Send it into a professional with a Clean Room like Drive Saver's. They also have very professional disk tools etc. http://www.drivesavers.com/ It can be pricey, but then so is all of that time that you have invested in all of the software that you have developed. Which is irreplaceable. If you send your unit into Apple, Inc. they probably will not try at all to recover your data, but you will get a replacement MacBook since it is probably still under warranty. Good Luck!

Re: Error in textFont reporting?
Mark (Smith): You didn't solve my problem, but you gave me the inspiration to solve it! Roughly, what I did was to copy the selected (rich) text to a new temp field using HTMLtext, and then I examined temp char by char to see what the textFont was. If each char reported the same font name, then the whole selection was declared to be of the same font name (in spite of differing sizes). Thanks again! By the way, does anyone know whether this has been fixed in Rev 2.7? Or is it supposedly a feature and not a bug? A reminder of the original problem is below. Regards, Bob - I have a single word (e.g. robert) in a field test. The whole word is in the Courier font, but the middle 2 letters are of a size different to the others. I am doing something like this in the field's coding: on mouseMove if the selectedText is not empty then put the textFont of the selectedText into field result end if end mouseMove If I select the whole word in field test, instead of courier in the field result I get mixed. But it is the SIZE that is mixed, NOT the font name!

Both Mac and Win provide common folders for reading data: Mac /HD/System Folder/Application Support Win C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data ...but in my testing here only users with admin privileges can write to those folders. :( What is the OS-recommended place to store common data which can be written by any user? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
