1. Perl modules mostly (there is some exceptions) written with space indentation
2. Python – spaces
3. Cakephp – with tabs

I think I’ll dare to use tabs in general programming (bash / perl / python / php).  The main reason is this: I really like to change the visible indent at my will during work with vim. This is done by simple command
:set tabstop

To apply the desired behavior my vimrc file for vim has been altered to contain the following lines:

:set tabstops=4
:set  shiftwidth=4
“:set expandtab
“:set softtabstop=4

(last two lines are commented out)

In vim plugin (~/.vim/plugin/python.vim) comment out line

:setlocal expandtab

1. login via RDP
2. delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
3. restart vm
4. check the same file (it will be re-created by the system). Specifically, you want to know what name new interface had been given (eth0 / eth1 etc)
5. make a copy of config file (in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for centos or fedora) for new interface
6. restart network

It proves to be exactly what I need. While I didn’t get substitution for my wired network (throughput rate is limited to something 1.2-2.5 Mb / per second in most areas of my home), the connection become persistent – I didn’t notice any single annoying interruption  within a month, during which new antenna was in operation.

It proves to be very easy to assemble the antenna. I have used, as the author, a length of electrical copper wire. Measurement have been done with standard ruler allowing for mediocre precision at best (I think I did manage to keep to schema measurement within 1-3 mm of given specification). My modification to the original design was just connectors: I’ve utilized existing antenna cable, by cutting one end and soldering it directly to the antenna, leaving connector on the other (AP) side untouched. As some folks says, it  shall save some 1-2 dbi. There was no hassle with the alignment of the antenna on installation at all.

I have very little to add to the original article, which is fairly comprehensive. One thing that perhaps might be exposed in greater details is this: shaping the copper wire. I know, while for most of skillful man and women around this task is easy enough, some people might find it useful.

   First, bend 90 degree angle. Then, I used spare AAA battery (it will not be crippled, so it can be used than again) to wrap the wire around it. Copper is soft, so no great deal of strength is required.

Here the loop is finished. As the original articles suggests, I’ve avoided the coils to touch each other

Here, kind of ‘final tuning’ of a coil. The final shape is far from catching the eye, not to say pretty ugly, but it is concealed in a plastic pipe, and, most importantly, it works.

==================================================
для определения качества обычно высчитывают коэффициент bits/(pixel*frame)

Если он 0.17 – 0.20 (или более), рип будет хорошим. Если меньше – может быть тоже неплохим, но на динамических сценах будут заметны артефакты, типа квадратиков и прочее из-за потери детализации (в пользу меньшего размера).

Теперь посчитаем. Количество кадров 1ч 28м 11с * 29.97 = 158571
Размер звуковой дорожки 448 / 8 * 1ч 28м 11с * 1024 = 289МБ
Размер видео 4.37ГБ – 289МБ = 4397932544 байт

Теперь считаем коэфф

4397932544 * 8 / (1280 * 720 * 158571) = 0.24, что даже несколько избыточно (но делать рип меньше размера болванки не вижу смысла)

Для того рипа, на который ты прислал ссылку (не буду вдаваться в столь детальные расчеты, воспользуюсь программкой ) получим 0.156. Что в принципе тоже неплохо, но ниже уровня качества.

Я редко опускаюсь ниже 0.17. Только для оч длинных фильмов, которые не хочется разбивать на неск-ко болванок.

File->Printer settings->Properties->Device tab->Printer language type.

Now, I can select what paper tray printer will take paper from. This problem I had with HP  P4014 printer.

The seminar provided me with deep and extensive appreciation of RT features and potential (within my abilities, of course). Definitely, my plans in respect of information system, employed in our office, must be, hmm, corrected. A bit.

An extra side note: I’ve never seen this number of Macbooks in a single room .

Косые линии – и от приличного перепада высот, и от изобретательности, наверное. Самые обычные жилые пятиэтажки превосходно декорированы. Чистые мусорные баки словно с выставки. От прогулок по улицам ощущение пространства: много расточительно разбросанных “нефункциональных” элементов городского пейзажа. Там, где на Кипре стояла бы обычная бетонная стена, тут – ограждение в двух плоскостях с точно вымеренной горизонтальной линией и облицованное грубым камнем. Вообще тут понимаешь, что с облицовочным материалом на Кипре хреново, а сллово “дизайн” имеет другое значение.

70 Евро за ночь – очень дешево, на мой взгляд, для отеля такого уровня, гдя я провел 3 ночи.  Кто-то в мое отсутствие трижды обмотал цепочку от пробки в ванной вокруг шланга душа. То ли времени много, то ли руки так устроены. То ли мне делать нечего, как обращать внимание на такую ерунду.

Пожалуй впервые в коммандировке, вот уже второй день, живу на 20 евро в сутки, 10 из которых уходит на интернет. Семинар, к сожалению, отличный: загрузили по самые здрасте и времени на шатание по городу не осталось. Посему завтра покину Барселону с легким чувтсвом неудовлетворенного любопытства, что в общем то неплохо для стимуляции дальнейших путешествий.

I am also not big fun of new Gnome: I didn’t find the idea to hide out list of open windows contributing to productivity. I would say, I am of quite opposite opinion. And constant multi-pulit zoom in – zoom out upon switching between the windows makes my sleeping acrophobian quirks to annoy me even more.

I am as much disappointed as I was when KDE had introduced their plasma desktop, which pleased the eyes, but made routing working with the desktop miserable.

So, as many I suppose, I opted for XFCE. I’ll not advertise here this gdm – enough to say that I  like it, it does have anything I need, it is lightweight and have pleasant outfit.  The problems:

XKB keyboard layout plugin. This plugin supposed to provide with switch capabilities, interface for customization and indicator icon in notification area. While the latter probably works fine, the first two unfortunately are not very useful. My current workaround for multi-lingual installation is this:

1. Create executable file somewhere (/home/me/bin/set_keyboard):

   setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
   

2. create  file somename.desktop in directory /home/me/.config/autostart

1. backlight / screen brightness is not working. Solution remains the same, as with previous Ubuntu distros (here).
2. USB ports are dead on weak up from suspend.
3. Virtualbox running WinXP guest machine drops current session after weak up from suspend.
4. The display GUI manager works OK except one sequence: after switching from laptop screen to external screen, the latter view is scrambled. If both screen, on laptop and the external are on, there is not problem. Solution: use xrandr to manipulate output of Xserver.
5.  Sound output to on-board speakers do not switch off if headphones are plugged in.
