Seconds after I walked away from my computer for a break, I heard glass crashing in my office. It turns out that the lamp on my ceiling was not secured tightly enough, and finally gave out. This is right next to my chair.
My cat and I are lucky our heads are still intact…

The install is running, and I can’t wait to get this setup. With multiple snapshots, recreating environments for troubleshooting or proof of concepts will be a breeze!

I downloaded the latest beta of Fusion 2.0 so I could create virtual machines running OS X 10.5 Server. I created a DMG of the OS X Server DVD for easy installs, but Fusion didn’t recognize a DMG as an option to have in the CD/DVD drive on my VM. To convert an Apple DMG file to ISO, use this command:
hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso
This will create the file savefile.iso.cdr When the process is complete, simply remove the .cdr extension and you have an iso file.
I just tested this with VMWare 2.0, and the ISO didn’t work with the OS X Server install. The only way I got it to work is to use the DVDs that shipped with the Intel Xserve. As I type this, “Mac OS X Server 10.5 64-bit (experimental)” is loading!

I received this in the mail yesterday:
…While we do not believe that we are obligated to provide notice of this data breach to you, we are doing so as a cautionary measure. …The stolen laptops contained password protected, encrypted data which included your name, home address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, ethnicity and marital status. If you have utilizied the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in the past, the information contained on the stolen laptops also related to the individual services provided by the EAP, including case notes and assessments, the names of the providers to whom you were referred, and the treatment plans recommended by the providers. The theft was reported to the police and the company is cooperating fully with their investigation…

To check the DNS on a domiain using a server other than your default DNS server, this command is useful:
dig host.domain.com @4.2.2.1
Thanks Vic.

I [finally] made the jump to the other side. The D80 is a great camera. The camera came with the battery grip and 18-200 VR lens. All I’ll need is a new flash, maybe the SB-900, and the 50mm 1.4. I will miss the old original Canon Digital Rebel, but it’s time to move forward. More pictures will be posted soon.

Facebook has a great mirror site for the CentOS ISO’s.
http://mirror.facebook.com/centos/5.5/os/x86_64
Another fast mirror is the USC Linux Users Group Mirror: http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/5.5/
This has been one of the fastest mirrors I have found for CentOS. It’s nice to see a social networking site giving back to the Linux community.
If you access the Internet through a proxy, then you’re out of luck… Another option is to create a mirror server on your LAN.

If Gmail stops working with Apple Mail,or other IMAP programs,use the unlock captcha:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
This may be a necessary step when configuring a Google Apps account on Mail.app. I needed to run this because I was frequently switching between different ISP’s without closing my mail program. The mail error reported there were too many requests for the account, and the Gmail account became unavailable. You may not need to run the captcha, but it seems to help solve this issue.
