• Playing around with Twitter API using Tweepy

  December 31, 2010

  Yes, this is the kind of stuff I find myself doing when I’m bored.  Just a quick tutorial on using the Twitter python library called Tweepy.  Examples include authentication, print your statuses, and print your mentions.

• Moving away from PHP 4 to PHP 5

  August 6, 2008

  So, by default the good folks at 1and1 give you support for php 3-5, however 4 is the default. So, recently one of the plugins I use in my site upgraded to php 5 which forced me to continue using an older version. However, since I’m always a big sponsor of upgrade to the latest [...]

• Sun buys MySQL

  January 16, 2008

  Well, this pretty much sums it up. Sun Microsystems has just purchased MySQL which is interesting considering how much Sun has pushed for PostgreSQL the past. Oh well, we shall see how it goes, MySQL has some issues which need to be addressed and hopefully this move helps MySQL more than helps Sun. ~david PS: [...]

• FreePBX and a Cisco 7940 Phone

  May 24, 2006

  So, it has been months since I posted something technical on my website. For the most part it has been music stuff as well as general updates on the overall infrastructure of the site. However, for the past month or so I’ve been working on getting a Cisco SIP phone working with FreePBX. However, the problem was that I was not able to receive inbound calls.

  This was the not so descriptive error:

      -- Called 2000
  ; my sip extension
      -- Got SIP response 400 "Bad Request" back from 192.168.1.102
  ; sip reply
      -- SIP/2000-7b88 is circuit-busy
  ; this cause the call to go straight to VM

  Looking at the logs and googling for weeks on the problem, it was possible that the problem was the following:

      -- Executing NoOp("Zap/1-1", "Using CallerID
  ""LastName FirstName   "" <11234567890>") in new stack

  Please note the double quotes around my name.

• Fedora Core 4 and Enlightenment E17

  November 28, 2005

  It has been a while since I messed with a Windows Manager and I have not ran Enlightenment in ages. So I figured I would give E17 a spin, this is what I did in order to get it up and running.

• Using VI to search for specific patterns

  April 17, 2005

  So this is a short little something I was working on tonight. Yes tonight as in a saturday night. I am a workaholic.

  Anyway, if you would like to search for the following pattern using VI or if you would like to use syntax highlighting using your own vim file.

  Patter: ##/##/##@##:##:##

  Search command:

  :/[0-9]./[0-9].{3}.@[0-9].:[0-9].:[0-9]

  or the much cooler one

  :/d./d./d.@d.:d.:d

  For all your wildcard needs, remember to refer back to the awesome VI doc site here. Enjoy.

• MandrakeSoft out of Chapter 11 Protection

  March 30, 2004

  Just saw on /., that Mandrake is out of their Chapter 11 like protection which they filed some months back. Good to hear for my favorite linux distribution. I have some reservations over the new Mandrake, however I will not pass any judgement until I get the official release from the MandrakeSoft store.

  Support your linux companies, time is not free and their efforts are definetly appreciated.
