disdain things you cannot have: ignoring them is the best revenge – law 36 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 May 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on disdain things you cannot have: ignoring them is the best revenge – law 36 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 36 By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something you…

soup to nuts mirroring of centos

Posted on 22 May 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on soup to nuts mirroring of centos

I run a CentOS mirror. Have for a couple years. But I never stopped to see just how long it takes to start becoming a mirror. In case you wanted to know, I created a quick DO VM and ran the rsync mirror job yesterday. The results? At ~2.5MB/s, it took just over 8 hours to download…

to wear a watch

Posted on 20 May 201420 May 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on to wear a watch

I love wearing a nice watch. Years ago, I would only wear a digital watch in 24hr mode. Then I switched to using my cell phone. Now I prefer an analog watch with metal band, and no numbers (ie hour indicators) on the face. The one I wear now is a Pulsar with a silver…

a public – or white-labelable – rfe service a la uservoice, but easier to use

Posted on 17 May 20148 August 2023 By antipaucity No Comments on a public – or white-labelable – rfe service a la uservoice, but easier to use

I’ve seen some services that utilize uservoice to handle requests for features, functionality, etc. And I have seen companies have formal Request For Enhancement / Enhancement Request / etc processes (generally culminating from support cases (hopefully from good ones)). What I don’t see, though, is a way to either limit who can submit requests (uservoice,…

sending email in python with gmail

Posted on 15 May 201428 April 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on sending email in python with gmail

A Python nugget from Programming Your Home (review) I wanted to share from p97: import smtplib def send_email(subject, message) recipient = ‘your_email_recipient@domain.tld’ gmail_sender = ‘your_gmail_account@gmail.com’ gmail_password = ‘your_gmail_password’ #use tls gmail_smtp = smtplib.SMTP(‘smtp.gmail.com’, 587) gmail_smtp.ehlo() gmail_smtp.starttls() gmail_smtp.ehlo() #login gmail_smtp.login(gmail_send, gmail_password) #message formatting mail_header = ‘To: ‘ + recipient + ‘\n’ + ‘From: ‘ + gmail_sender…

master the art of timing – law 35 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 13 May 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on master the art of timing – law 35 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 35 Never seem to be in a hurry – hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends will carry you to…

setting-up etherpad in centos 6

Posted on 8 May 201411 October 2016 By antipaucity 7 Comments on setting-up etherpad in centos 6

To add to my tutorial collection, here’s how to setup EtherPad on CentOS 6 (x64). As in the IRC tutorial, I used a Digital Ocean VM for this 🙂 What is EtherPad? It’s an open-source collaborative text editor that works like Google Docs – ie, all editors/viewers can see changes from everyone else in realtime….
