there is an new repository blessed by the kernel team
you can download the deb files from there
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc3/

and download with wget or by browser
linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc3-generic_2.6.30-020630rc3_i386.deb

use db wrappers in php don't write to mysql only

well pdo in php is very buggy , in fact i call it buggy as hell ,
http://www.alberton.info/php_pdo_firebird_status.html
http://forums.devshed.com/firebird-sql-development-61/firebird-and-php-pdo-functions-327659.html
I would recommend to use an stable wrapper around ibase/mysql functions
the one from cakephp is very well done you can find them in the cake
php source code
http://api.cakephp.org/class/dbo-firebird

also there is mdb2 with an good firebird/ibase driver

http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2
http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2_Driver_ibase/

also i have seen the adodb for php

kvm , synergy, x forward and ssh

I have an idea on how two or more computers should work for me
For example I have two computers foo and bar with two monitors and two keyboards two mices
and i want to use only one mouse and one keyboard for both

on each the task should be started with kvm like virtualization and so i can cross the mouse from one pc to another like the synergy , but also with the help of xforward i could pass the windows from one pc to another also i wish the processes can be migrated from one machine to another (to have an migrate to machine in the menu )

it's done for full virtual machines so it should be possible for single processes

foo <-> migrate window/process <-> bar

arora 0.5 and qt 4.5 in debian experimental

i'm typing this from an arora 0.5 with qt 4.5 and debian experimental
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/arora
how did i installed it ?
i installed from stable then dist-upgraded to testing and then
unstable
here is how my sources.list looks like
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib
Add:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free
contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free
contrib
Then:
# aptitude update
# aptitude install -t experimental arora
my next thing is to build the 0.6 on it :)

twittrolution (aka Moldova twitter revolution 2.0 )

Television is dead and it doesn't work for informing the people , it's more like an goverment tool in Moldova , Romania had the same fate before '89 revolution

Today I had got the analogy related to floss fight against monopoly and the red wing world institution called Microsoft (software company relique from '80)

Look at Ubuntu they have to fight the same F.U.D war and pr sharks like the Ghandi 2.0 type revolution that happens in Moldova

It's amazing if you go in states that is US of America and at Best Buy shop you only can shop for Windows operating systems and that is called Choice in the Country of Freedom

The same i invite you to the dell store and try to buy an dell vostro with hard drive and choose Ubuntu ... If you can .. well you cann't, Also search on Amazon.com for an decent netbook with hard drive (hint 120-160G) well all is with xp and only the low end maybe it is with ubtnubu or other version of linux

That is why all your machines are with windows , if you want an decent configuration you must choose or you are served with vista or worse ...

That is amazing ubuntu still after that injust fight got something like 30% of netbook marked world wide

Think of what would happen if you had the choice on Dell website to choose between Ubuntu and *BSD or Macosx

So this is what we have Monopoly = Communims = Microsoft = Iexplorer = Viruses

Free Maket = Democracy = Ubuntu , FreeBSD , OsX ..=Firefox, WebKit = Stuff that works

Ubuntu revolution is on twitter and identi.ca also on forums blogs and youtube

so i'm not the only one that observed that Microsoft is an empty company inside

Microsoft, on the other hand, doesn’t deserve to get Twitter. Microsoft has totally screwed up its online branding and search. It’s pretty incompetent in those areas and has been for years. Yeah, I know that Microsoft has thousands of employees who’ll call me names on their blogs and yeah I know that Microsoft has thousands of fans, er, MVPs, who’ll tell you at length why I’m wrong.
But when I go around SXSW or Gnomedex or Northern Voice and ask people what they use from Microsoft I get blank stares. Microsoft has lost the Internet generation because they simply have not done anything interesting. Spending another $100 million on advertising is

nginx load balancer config example
in my case nginx is in front of two servers (2 copy cats with the same files /php and configurations)
now nginx handles all the images and compression and sends all php and other requests to the other servers
so it can have an very basic config (no advanced modules enabled)

vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/balancer

Best April Fools Day joke so far: PHP chooses the backslash as the namespace separator.

That is what I call a practical joke

lx network manager

if you don't want to use nm-applet then is better to try the lxde network manager

I wil see if can work with wireless

$ sudo apt-get install lxnm

by default if you install lxde by hand is not installed
so you have to do it manually
