Wow. check out this awesome nettuts video that shows you how to use backbone and laravel to create CRUD operations on ‘data objects’ in the front end.
Laravel really reminds me of Grails. It has methods that seem very much so like the dynamic finders in Grails.
Anyway, I go where the market takes me, but I would be totally stocked to work on a backbone, require, and underscore js project.
Having a horrible time today trying to get Email working from this Direct Admin box that I got.
I actually paid to have it setup by a consultant cause I didnt have the time to muck around with learning a new control panel software.
Neal with the deal down at the data center said he would configure the server for me 100%. And now that I am going through it, feeling some buyers remorse here, as I am looking at my /var/log/exim files trying to figure out why I keep getting this error in DirectAdmin > Mail Queue Administration when I hit ‘retry’ to send an email from the Queue.
2012-10-11 16:18:16 1TMRxY-0001y0-Rm Error in system filter: unknown filtering command “$h_subject:.” near line 46 of filter file
Want to guess what the logs files are full of?
This exact same error message with different timestamps and ids. Almost a Gig of completely useless Bullshizer!
At least tell me which file its in!
The consultant is of course, unable to help at the moment, and the internet has been no help so far. 🙁
I already greped out the exim.conf files as having the only instances of h_subject in the entire /usr/local/directadmin folder
root@da1:/usr/local/directadmin/data# grep -i -n -R h_subject *
templates/exim.conf:845: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim.conf:862: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
templates/exim3.conf:297: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim3.conf:309: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
templates/exim4.conf:845: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim4.conf:862: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
As you can see they are no where near line: 46.
>> 2012-10-11 06:32:36 1TCkRY-00053G-Pw Error in system filter: unknown
>> filtering command “$h_subject:.” near line 46 of filter file
And I really don’t know what to do from here. I guess I can try commenting it out.
But as it stands right now, due to this faulty Exim and DirectAdmin configuration, I am not able to send or receive emails from the box.

Quick update: Neal fixed it!
So I was working on my ubuntu servers this weekend.
Trying to get some extra work in. Work that shouldn’t feel like work. I was thinking about how natural/intuitive asynchronous event driven applications design might be with a language like JavaScript. I was sort of redesigning the BPM we worked on at Disney in my head.
Defacto server side engine for JS right now is node, so with a few commands I had my first web app launched.
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
npm install -g express
express --sessions --css stylus --ejs myapp
cd myapp && npm install
node app
So if you point your browser at http://localhost:3000/ you will see the hello word app.
Now one of the first things I noticed is there is a templating system at work here called EJS.
The good news is that, at first glance, it looks pretty much like PHP!
/routes/index.js
/*
* GET home page.
*/
exports.index = function(req, res){
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
};
/views/index.ejs
<title> <%= title %> </title>
<ul>
<% for(var i=0; i<supplies.length; i++) {%>
<li><%= supplies[i] %></li>
<% } %>
</ul>
Okay so the templating system looks easy enough, next thing is I need a way to do job scheduling functionality. Basically need a nodejs clone of the quartz job scheduler in grails.
I did a quick google and saw there is a github project for this.
And this pretty much where I ran out of steam in my investigation.
And I concluded that “I will look into https://github.com/ncb000gt/node-cron later.”
Honestly, I think a technology solution presented on this platform can be rather elagent!
I’ve been pushing unified front and back end language and synchronization for long time in my casual conversations here and there. None of my employers have had a project like this for me in the past.
If I can find a decent IDE, I just may try something out.
It finally happeend. I was predicting this.
See, when companies launch the first version of their app, its just to get a user base,
to penetrate the market. And at times revenue generation is left as an after thought for the next version release.
Fravia, may he Rest In Peace, one of the reasons why I became very adept at internet searching, said “never install app updates”.
And today, I wish to logic that I had backed up and saved the previous apk of google maps.
Cause they injected ads into the new release. Which is the only notable difference!
Ads, the bane of my existence. The reason I pay for premium channels, pirate content, and can recite useless taglines. My brain is crammed with marketing bullshizer.
I thought I was rid of them in part thanks to Chrome’s and Firefox’s ad blocker plugin.
But here it is, staring me in the face, “Bankruptcy Center” advert for my search to the nearnest LA Fitness.
Thanks for nothing Google. Good job on screwing the pooch on this one.
I guess with Apple’s horrible map system, Google can afford to do anything and still keep their user base.
We’ll its either time to dust off that Decompiler, or hunt down a previous apk off the intertubes.
Do you love the iPhone? Buy Samsung! Apple says that Samsung products are substantially the same as theirs, with a bigger screen, better performance, more features, free apps, and lower price!
TIL: On our development team, someone used POGO’s to define a payload to a REST API.
Were coming from a JavaScript perspective, having every object be dynamic, there is no need to define any structure before hand.
So I started googling dynamic objects information for Grails.
I found a great slideshare on it that explains how the Expando object, utilizes metaprogramming techniques, to create a dynamic class.
While in some languages you may find a keyword usually ‘dynamic’ which makes the object flexible at run time, in grails you have to declare and Expando object, or inherit form it.
Its mentioned on the bottom of this page here:
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Collections
def Posts[] postsList = Posts.withCriteria {
eq ( 'user', userObj )
postTags {
'in' ('name', userFilter.postsTags.toArray()*.name )
}
}
I am so delighted that Mr. Ruffalo has decided to speak out against fracking.
I saw him on Bill Maher and the Colbert Report, and he mentioned this new short film by Josh Fox: The sky is pink.
I’m looking at my bank statements. And I can’t tell head from tails as to what these paypal withdrawls are for!
They are cryptic, and make book keeping an even more difficult task.
Not to mention they are scary. And could be potentially concealing a security breach.
Great. Now I need to call them and verify each transaction and corresponding ACH withdrawal.
So I say good bye to my paypal addiction. Convenience, I think not, more like nuisance during tax time.
Saw the first three in English.
Great show on Anime Network / Time Warner Cable.
