windows 7 there’s lots of static on a mic for skype or google voice

Filed under: Uncategorized — rogerdpack @ 6:30 pm

Turns out mine was easily fixed by adjusting the mic so it wasn’t so sentivie.

Control panel -> search for “microphone” (upper right), one of those.

java woe

Filed under: Uncategorized — rogerdpack @ 4:09 pm

/opt/digitalarchive/das_storage_cell_catalog/java/das_storage_cell_catalog: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

this meant “you scp’ed a symlink to the java binary, but in reality that copied over the real binary, not the symlink, which ends up meaning that when java starts, it can’t find its typical dependencies, because it only has the very basic binary” (and no supporting libs)

best web framework

Filed under: Uncategorized — rogerdpack @ 5:31 pm

Here it is:

easy to test, lightning fast to develop using tests, do some
repetitive things for you, intuitive, easy to refactor/maintain, safe, fast runtime, scalable, easy to deploy, compatible.
super easy javascript integration, bug free, excellent documentation.
any takers on this one?

acsls can mount scratch but not dismount or scratch it after a force dismount

Filed under: Uncategorized — rogerdpack @ 12:07 am

Interesting is, that with ACSLS (sun’s tape management system), you can mount scratch tapes into a drive without authorization (because its tapes’ permission is user based, and scratch tapes have no user yet).  However, you then cannot *dismount* that tape from its drive, nor can you mount *any* “data” tape into that drive.

heads up!
