With Jessica's plane being delayed a day and Devin and his girlfriend needing a camping chaperon, I had the chance to go camping this weekend. Because I was doing them a 'favor', they agreed to my choice of camping sites. So I choose Smith Rock (of coarse :)
Once I sent them on their way hiking around the rock, I started getting ready. I could not wait, this was the first time I had a chance to try my new climbing toys.
In the past I have solo climbed from a top rope. I would fix the rope, reppel down and then climb back up using an ascender with a custom chest harness.
A lot of climbs can't be accessed from the top. I would have to pass them up in favor ones I could hike to the top of first. The desire to be able to walk up to almost any climb and start on up prompted me to purchase the Silent Partner. At the same time I also purchased the beginnings of a trad rack.
Everything came together this weekend. I choose my spot and (1) did my first solo lead climb using my Silent Partner, (2) my first time setting trad gear, and (3) my first lead trad climb.
The only real issue climbing by myself, is carrying all the gear. I try to be prepared for almost any situation, and that makes the backpack very heavy. Other then being very tired, I had an excellent time and could not have been happier when after over 4hrs of preparation and climbing, I topped out and sat on the edge of the cliff without another soul in sight.
Don't get me wrong, I do like climbing with others. Its just rare finding a person to belay you where and when you can climb.

After doing a yum update, or any form or update using an rpm based tool, you are left with a lot of .rpmnew files hanging around. These changes are very important to incorporate. If your like me, I wait so long between server updates (except security based ones) that I may have over 50 of these generated.
You should keep a short list of the configuration files that you must configure by hand, or would cause great harm if they were applied in the blind.
A short list of these are:
/etc/passwd.rpmnew
/etc/group.rpmnew
/etc/modprobe.conf
...
Be sure to remove these files type of .rpmnew files before continuing.
You can find your waiting .rpmnew files:
updatedb
locate rpmnew
Now you should be left will a lot of files, so just to be sure, do a diff of them all, just in case you forgot something.
updatedb
locate rpmnew | while read line; do diff $line ${line%.rpmnew}; done | less
(07/24/2007 update, thanks John :)
locate rpmnew | while read line; do diff -ruN ${line%.rpmnew} $line; done | less
Once you have carefully evaluated the output of the above and either merged the files or decided the new file is a good thing.
WARNING! This next step could disable your computer and make it so you can't restart or log back in! Be sure you know what your doing.
To move the remaining files over the current files:
updatedb
locate rpmnew | while read line; do mv -f $line ${line%.rpmnew}; done
This all seemed to work on my CentOS 5.0 and 4.0 systems.
On my Gentoo systems, all I do is execute etc-update.

Had a little fun today getting progresql working in a directory other than /var/lib/pgsql on a CentOS 5.0 system with selinux enabled.
The actual intention is to use lvm snapshot to backup the database. So rather than mount the dedicated partition to /var/lib/pgsql, I decided to mount it to /pgsql instead.
I added these lines to
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
/pgsql/data(/.*)? system_u:object_r:postgresql_db_t:s0
/pgsql system_u:object_r:postgresql_db_t:s0
/pgsql/pgstartup\.log system_u:object_r:postgresql_log_t:s0
Then I fixed the files in the new location
/sbin/fixfiles check /pgsql
/sbin/fixfiles restore /pgsql
Finally updated /etc/init.d/postgresql
PGDATA=/pgsql/data
PGLOG=/pgsql/pgstartup.log
Most likely I will decide that not mounting on /var/lib/pgsql is a bad idea, but I would like to be able to start parallel servers that point to snapshots at some time in the future.

As a leaning exercise I spend a couple weeks working on the initial stubs and tests for
System.ServiceModel.Syndication. svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/olive/class/System.ServiceModel.Web
This work is now being carried forward by Joel Reed (feed writing) and Arne Claassen (feed reading).
Miguel is going to try and find me another place where I can contribute to Moonlight. I'm also going to do some looking myself. It would be cool to continue to work somewhere on the Mono tree not that I have my development environment all setup for it.

Looks like there may be a Open Source version of Silverlight on the horizon. Its currently code named Moonlight.
Miguel de Icaza has added me as an editor to the Wiki. I am very excited to have the chance to contribute to this project. Currently looking to see what part to dive into.

Myself and the crew from CBT Nuggets, just returned from Mix07.
I did lunch with Miguel de Icaza (Founder Gnome, Mono and Co-founder Ximian) and was able to mention MojoPortal in a Q&A session. Thanks Joe for mentioning it in your blog post today  .
I was the first to stand up and ask a question at the Open Source Applications Using the .NET Platform Panel Discussion. The panel consisted of
Miguel de Icaza,
Andi Gutmans (Co-developned PHP and the 'nd' in Zend) and
Mike Schrep (Mozilla) among others,
so I was a little nervous. You can hear my question and the responses 50 minutes into the recording.
The last day of the conference I had lunch with Miguel de Icaza, Phil Haack (CTO veloc-it.com) and Brad Abrams (Co founder of CLR and .Net Framework teams at Microsoft).
I mostly did the listening except for a brief discussion about how Miguel and I both use Vi and Emacs interchangeably. Most people use one of the other exclusively, but depending on the context of the file, we will edit it with Vi or Emacs without consciously knowing why.
Thank you Phil for sending me this photo.
A special thanks to my brother Chuck Jazdzewski for insisting that I attend the conference.

This site is using Mojoportal 1.0.5 under Mono.
Recently people have been blogging about being able to run the latest versions of Mojoportal on the newest versions of Mono.
Last night on my test computer octo, I was able to get the 2.x version of Mojoportal working under Mono!
By the looks of things, I may be able to upgrade this site to the newest version of Mojoportal in a few months.
The software I used on octo:
| mono -> |
mono-1.2.3.50.20070411 |
| libgdiplus -> |
libgdiplus-1.2.3.50 |
| gtk-sharp -> |
gtk-sharp-2.10.0 |
| monodoc -> |
monodoc-1.2.3 |
| gecko-sharp -> |
gecko-sharp-2.0-0.12 |
| gtksourceview-sharp -> |
gtksourceview-sharp-2.0-0.10 |
| gnome-sharp -> |
gnome-sharp-2.16.0 |
| monodevelop -> |
monodevelop-0.13.1 |
| mono-debugger -> |
mono-debugger-0.31 |
| xsp -> |
xsp-1.2.3 |
| mojoportal -> |
mojoportal2.x |
| postgresql |
dev-db/postgresql 8.1.8 |

Jessica and I both needed a break from Eugene, so we spent the weekend at the Oar House Bed & Breakfast in Newport Oregon.
On Saturday we walked from downtown Newport to the top of the lighthouse and back. It started out rainy in the morning, but by the time we started heading back to the B&B, it was sunny and warm.
The B&B was cozy and the Jan creates the best breakfasts. Both mornings we had a least one delicious thing we had never had before.
