Futzing with TaskScheduler
Hi all, Thought I should say something - it''s been a little while. :) Anyway, I''m still futzing with how I want the Ruby API to look. The more I look at the Perl version, the more I think it was too faithful to the C API. Right now I''m looking at the trigger() method. For example, I don''t see any reason to make the "type" key take a hash as an argument (thus...

Visual Sourcesafe HOWTO
I went to the trouble of setting up Visual Sourcesafe on a Linux system recently. There was a fair amount of futzing required, so I've documented what I had to do at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html Comments and corrections welcome. I'd also love to know how to get this working without hardcoding NT usernames and passwords! The commandline app appears to be fully functional (or at least as f...

Getting a new app added to the AppDB?
Hi, Have looked at all the FAQ's, searched here on the Forums, etc., and can't seem to find out how you actually get in touch with any of the App Maintainers, (if you're not one yourself) to start getting a new app, (in this case, Fallout 3, which just came out yesterday and I'm trying to start to futz with, so really would appreciate a location where folks might be able to

New winetricks 20080402: new verbs dotnet20, win2k, flash, msls31; updated mono, liberation
Big news: as of today or so, wine doesn't need any patches to install the .net 2.0 runtime or run trivial .net 2.0 apps, so I've added a dotnet20 verb. No more futzing with recipes to try out simple .net 2 apps, huzzah! There are lots of other little changes, too: 20080402 r21 Added dotnet20, removed one kludge from dotnet11, added win2k verb, plus shorthand for winver=foo r20 Updated liberation fonts. 20080328 r19 Added flash. 20080326 r18 Fi...

Trivial API question
I know - I like to futz. I''m thinking of changing the way I pass optional arguments. This is from EventLog: # Write an event to the event log # Current way el.report_event( "source" => "foo", "category" => 0x2, "event_id" => 0x3, "data" => "Warning! Danger Will Robinson!", "type"

ascii or regex code for alt-enter for Excel
I need to write a table that can be opened in Excel or OpenOffice such that there are newlines embedded within cells. After much Googling and futzing, I can't figure out how to do this. The way to do this within Excel is alt-Enter and I've tried '/n', '/n/r', '/r/n' per some web suggestions without luck. Anybody know what character or ASCII code to use for this? Thanks, Mark Mark W.

Have you used RGoogleDocs and RGoogleData?
...ave noticed that both packages read data slowly. RGoogleData is much slower than RGoogleDocs used to be. Both seem a lot slower than if one manually downloaded a google spreadsheet as a csv and then used read.csv function - but then I would not be able to use scripts and execute without finding and futzing. Can anyone explain in English why these packages read slower than a csv download? Can anyone explain what the core difference is between the two packages? Can anyone share their experience with reading Google data straight into R? Farrel Buchinsky Google Voice Tel: (412) 567-7870 Sent from Pitt...

win32-mmap test suite
I just tried running tc_mmap.rb and noticed that something rather curious seems to happen. The call to Mmap.new in setup seems to cause the test suite to just exit without ever actually running the tests. I reduced the test suite to just this bit of code. This works, although the final test (TypeError) does not pass - no exception in thrown. This is 1.8.1 on Win2k. Any ideas? Dan PS - I

Cisco router and "488 Not acceptable here" messages
...en asterisk says 'proxy auth required', but the INVITE packet with the proxy auth doesn't have the attributes. A tcpdump on the asterisk server confirms this. But, when I do a ethereal dump on my PC where I'm running SJphone, the attributes are there in the packet. So something is futzing with my packets, and screwing them up. There is a Cisco router on my end of the link, so I'm suspecting that! Any suggestions? Thanks James

No joy installing R with shared libs.
...on but I am now in my own private segmentation fault hell. The R build worked fine: make, make check, make install cool. The RSPython build worked fine. Thinking I'm good to go, I run python. But when I import RS python rolls over and dies with a segmentation fault. It has been two days of futzing with recompiles, environment variable diddling and whatnot. Can some kind soul please give me a fool proof recipe for building R and RSPython so that it actually works? Thanks, Douglass Turner [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Laptop display issue
...Manager? with a mouse pointer on one display that can be moved but no desktop at all. The keyboard works and I can start a terminal session. If I remove the laptop from the docking station everything works as expected but not in the station, presumably because it now uses the docking station card. Futzing around I see that systemctl --failed lists nothing, nor did dmesg immediately suggest a reason. In the yum history I see that this driver was updated to 19.0.1-3 from the 19.0.1-2 that installed with. Yum downgrade to 19.0.1-2 did not change the issue. Nor has booting an older kernel helped so far....

win32-taskscheduler alpha
Well, I''m going to release the first version of win32-taskscheduler today. For now, I''ve kept the API about the same as it originally was because I was spending way too much time futzing around and I wanted to get something out the door. For now, I''m calling this a BETA release, with the API subject to change. See the ''Future Plans'' section of the docs if you want to know what some of my plans are.

z-machine + asterisk = fun!
I was tinkering with Asterisk and the Festival text-to-speech engine, and wrote some short Asterisk::AGI scripts to read back live weather reports. After that, I thought I needed something more interactive to work with... Then I had a flashback to 1996, first year university, standing in the C & O club at the University of Waterloo, where someone had just pulled out their US Robotics Palm

[LLVMdev] need pointers navigating through metadata in llvm :-)
...part of the debug metadata generated by our local version (which is somewhere between v2.7 and the llvm-tip, plus our local changes) Interestingly enough, the .bc file (with debug info) generated by vanilla llvm-gcc 2.7 passes through the gold bitcode linking stage without issues - and after some futzing about, I narrowed the change down to a single entry diff The first one passes through link while the latter does not. !0 = metadata !{i32 524334, i32 0, metadata !1, metadata !"main", metadata !"main", metadata !"main", metadata !1, i32 5, metadata !3, i1 false, i1 t...
