Let me preface with this: this is over-simplified for someone just getting started with git, who does not have the time to learn all the intricacies of git, and covers the most common workflow I’ve encountered, that is:
- download code from a remote repository
- make changes
- commit and send the changes back
- get the latest from that remote repository

Multiple targets with iscisitarget (ubuntu 9.04)
After trying for a (long) while to have multiple targets defined on the same host, and having my initiator to see both, the solution what in fact simple: Use different values for the LUN!
rebuild the journal on an ext3 partition for CentOS 5.3
Heltech does not have it quite right for centos. The options are named slightly differently on newer versions.
My Ruby on Rails Gentoo Setup
I had been hearing about Gentoo for a long time, and finally discovered it in depth about 6 months ago. Gentoo is really a different beast as Linuxes go. You get to build everything from sources. No binaries. That’s right. That means that you get to build everything with compatible flags, get to remove a lot of the unnecessary bloat (Do I hear X windows for example?). It also means that the initial setup could take you several days if your machine is not so powerful. Suffice it to say, I really, really like the approach and that is now what I’m using to run this blog.
Install your own ruby on a shared host
Since I upgraded to Typo 4.0, and in the process rails 1.1.6 I have had a few occurrences where nanoRAILS would hang, several bloated processes would be sitting there and not respond, and the only option at that point was to kill all ruby processes once I realized what was happening, which could be several hours. Suffice it to say, this is not a good option.
Remote Ubuntu Dapper Drake Install
Don’t try this at home!
Well, actually, there are 2 ways you can look at it. Only attempt a remote install if it is absolutely necessary and there are no other practical ways of doing the OS install. It may be fun, and you’ll be impressed with yourself if you succeed, but the downside is that it takes a lot more time to do it remotely, it can be pretty tough on your nerves while you wait for the machine to come back up, eventually, and that’s it ever does. I can imagine a lot of things going wrong…
Installing Ubuntu Dapper on Parallels running on Tiger
After my success with installing Windows XP on my shiny new iMac, I tried to install Ubuntu Dapper (a.k.a. Dapper Drake). Why would I want to install Linux on a Mac? Because that’s what I’m running on my server, so I need a sandbox where I won’t risk breaking real stuff.
Installing readline on Kubuntu
Running script/console provides the delightful answer:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require’:
no such file to load – readline (LoadError)
