Graspop 2008

Was geweldig. Gezellig en verbazingwekkend. Nooit verwacht dat Kiss zo tof zou zijn live. Sonata ook op festivals rockt. En Iron Maiden live gigantisch tegen valt.

My selfprotecton is keeping people on a distance when you don’t want to hurt them. Whats yours?

My Mobiler

Just a great tool I found. Like remote desktop but than for your mobile. Just install the remote.exe on your Windows Mobile Powered device. Change the default password. Connect your device to your WIFI network and connect over IP.

It is great to let your device charge in your bedroom/toilet/kitchen and to be able to connect to it. Play your favorite Bubble Breaker game or just send some text messages to one of your friends.

The ability to do this while working with your normal keyboard and mouse is really great to play with. And with the option to have it on top of all of your screens and the relatively small resolution of the device (240×320 as average) it won’t consume that much space on your desktop.

Where you can find it? http://www.mtux.com/. But make sure before you install you have a one-time ActiveSync connection for installation of the tool.

Oh wait: There’s another text message :-)

PHP5 and 64 bits

When compiling PHP on a 64 bit system don’t forget to add “–with-libdir=/lib64″ to the configure statement. A typical configure statement would be:

./configure –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –with-mysql –with-libdir=/lib64

If you forget “–with-libdir”, make will fail in the mysql section with the error:

configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

RedHat Reinstallation is Slow

Okay, here comes the problem. We have a kickstart environment which is running very fine. The issue starts when we try to reinstall an machine after, lets say, an fuckup. The machine is an HP blade bl460c.

First installation was finished in 10 minutes after entering the ip adress and retrieving the config. Second installation is way to slow. It is currently running for 30 minutes and has hours to go I guess. Who knows how this problem is and how to solve it. Google is not helping much this time :(

– EDIT –
The problem does not seems to be the client but the server which is Apache 2.0.52. After performing something like “dd if=/dev/urandom of=100mb.bin bs=1M count=100″ the server seemed to clean some cache and installation went much faster. Think I need to digg into my Apache config.
