After starting off with CouchDB I thought I'd create a reference card (a.k.a. cheat sheet) for myself, a bit like the one I created for proxy configuration files. As I'm rather satisfied with the result, I thought I'd share this PDF with you.
Go ahead and get The Antepenultimate CouchDB Reference Card. If you have suggestions [...]
CouchDB is a document-oriented database, a non-relational datastore, one which belongs to the group of NoSQL databases. (More on NoSQL here.) Contrary to a relational database (RDBMS) in which data is contained in tables, rows, and columns, CouchDB contains a collection of JSON documents in a modified B-Tree file structure, each of which is indexed [...]
Here are the slides for the presentation I gave this afternoon at the UKUUG Spring 2010 Conference:
Enjoy.
Copying a disk image onto a CF card using Unix dd is a trivial task (unless you make a mistake when specifying the output file (the of= option) — recovery from that kind of mistake can be a bitch. )
dd if=disk.image of=/dev/da0
dd starts copying with a default blocksize of 512 bytes.
Copying a 4 [...]
I've finally put the (rather messy) source of jndcalx on Github for you to grab, fix, and improve on.
jndcalx runs on a computer with installed Lotus Notes (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux) and a Web server, and it creates iCalendar output (.ics) on the fly, without having to manually export and import your calendar. [...]
The other day, a friend and I where making fun of somebody who is known to say that the DNS is always at fault. Since no normal human being knows what dig is, let alone how to use it, we thought of building a mail to DNS gateway as a joke. Anyhow, the whole thing [...]
Mac OS X' iCal has a Birthdays calendar which pulls birthdays you set in Address Book and displays them, and this works very nicely, but it doesn't satisfy my needs. First, because I manage birthdays differently, and second, because I sometimes have more than one birthday reminder for a single address book entry. (E.g. one [...]
Martin's GhettoPush, which I talked about recently is being heavily used here. So much, that I've implemented some changes, that Martin has kindly merged back into his master repository.
The two additions I submitted to the code are both very similar — almost identical. They enable us to exclude certain e-mail messages from being Prowl'ed. You [...]
