Web 2.0, social media, twitter, microblogging, und alle diese Dingers

Christian Louis hat einen schönen Beitrag in seinem Blog zu obigen Themen verfasst, den ich einfach genial fand!

Ein interessanter Kommentar auf mein "Ich liebe diesen Eintrag" ist der Hinweis, dass man eben den "Menschen in Machtpositionen" erklären müsse, wie es wirklich ist, mit der echten IT und dem Internetz und alledem - sinngemäß.

Upgrading Drupal

As I didn't easily find a simple and short upgrade instruction to install a simple security upgrade, I'm documenting here what I do to run my current security upgrade from what I guess should be the easy and correct way...

It's what I just did to get from drupal 6.8 to 6.9 - so it's about a minor / security upgrade.

I'm assuming all the steps are made on a testing setup first, and the effect is checked there, first, before it's deployed to the live system!

  • rename the old cms dir on my webserver - mv cms cms-6.8
  • unpack the new package into the cms dir - tar xvfz drupal-6.9.tar

OpenWRT with x-wrt install

Another OpenWRT installation - with WEB GUI this time. OpenWRT has become quite nice and useable. Still it's docs are not always up to date and sometimes cumbersome to get around. Here's my install documentaion(it would probably be too much to name it a tutorial :) ) from the simple basic install I just did, including a web gui with ssl and Wifi config with WPA2 protection.

Solved ntp problems on Ubuntu upgrade

I just wanted to make an upgrade "on the run" to get latest security patches and fixes onto my laptop. But, unfortunately, similar to the last time I thought I could upgrade an Ubuntu system in a matter of minutes(just to realize that in the end, mysql wasn't going to start anymore), something broke:

The ntp package wasn't installable, hanging on errors like this:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.
