It seems Google has quietly raised it’s limitations on how deep you can look into search results for the AJAX Search API. It’s always been 4 pages (8 results per page), so you could only see the first 32 results.
All of a sudden it was changes to 8 pages (still 8 results per page), […]

Someone I know uses iPhoto, but the Faces part of it wasn’t working. New pictures wouldn’t get scanned for faces and the spinning icon next to the Faces label on the navigation bar would just spin forever (and apparently it’s always been stuck like that).
I Googled the issue, and came up with hundreds of […]

Well actually, I’m not exactly sure how because I have Twitter followers since I don’t have a Twitter account, but apparently I have have a couple Twitter accounts…

Stupid, but funny. lol

Okay, gonna go ahead and upgrade the Digital Point Forums to vBulletin 3.8.3… Since so many of you are freaks and are on it 24/7, I made this post to keep you up to date on what’s going on (I’ll update it periodically throughout the process). You can also use this blog post as […]

So I’ve been waiting for this thing for awhile now, and it looks like Sony is finally going to be releasing it (even $400 cheaper than previously rumored). Yum, yum…
400 discs, serial control, Ethernet port for pulling meta data via Internet, etc… looks nice to me.

I gotta say, iMovie HD is really nice for hacking together quick videos with pretty decent quality. I threw together this video for a friend real quick for her company. Oh darn, I get to look at girls in bikinis while editing video. Sad day for me.
The original video […]

Okay, so I decided not to blog for 2+ years to see if the spam blocker thing I made would work, and sure enough it did… After 2+ years, not a single spam comment got through… I’d say that was pretty good, eh?
On a better note, I have 2 years of life to write about […]

The comment spam on my blog here was getting to the point of just being silly… around 4,000 spam comments per day (breaks down to about one every 15 seconds 24/7).
I decided to try and do something about it so I don’t have to weed through them manually (the time consumption on this task is […]

I don’t recall how I came across this image, but I was rather surprised to see it randomly (considering it’s me)…
Some sort of heat map where people look at an image, and decide what’s the most interesting part of it by clicking somewhere on it…
So people thought my face was interesting I guess… either that […]

Want to see some crazy stuff? In some areas of the world, you can zoom in to an absurd level. Pretty close to being able to actually identify an individual.
Let’s take this scene for example… some people in Africa with their herd of camels and cows, gathered around a well. I mean […]

Well sorta anyway… since Apple officially announced their iPhone, Apple stock has gone up $11.14 per share. I bought 100 shares a long time ago (it’s since split twice, so now I have 400 shares). The value of my shares has gone up $4,456 since yesterday morning. More than paying the $500-600 […]

I’m not much of a gamer, but I did buy an Xbox 360 last summer. Anyway, I finally found the best use for it… “beaming” your media from your Mac to it (music, photos and movies). The only annoying thing is all the music you buy from the iTunes Music Store doesn’t work […]

Well, I decided a long time ago that it would be neat to put a big solar voltaic system at my new place and try to generate 100% of the electricity needed for the house (and servers and everything else I use since I work from home).
So I ended up going with a system that […]

Okay, this is what I threw out there in my first post.
Doesn’t work great with Macs (you can sync address book, calendar, email, etc. with a 3rd party program, but the program is really buggy and only works over a USB cable and not Bluetooth [yet]). It also doesn’t mount in the file system […]

A couple weeks ago my network router at home finally died (it was a Linksys WRT54G), but I certainly got my money out of it (I got it when it first came out which was probably 4 or 5 years ago). Every light on it flashed, which couldn’t be good… so I replaced it.
Long […]

Okay, so I finally found a new cell phone that I like (enough) to get a new one…
The good:

It’s the same size as my RAZR (same thickness, 0.5″ taller and 0.25″ skinnier)
Fast internet (speed test put it at 205kbit/sec for me)
Use it as an Internet gateway for your computer (great for traveling)
Quad-band GSM (use pretty […]

It looks like Blizzard is one of the growing number of companies that have realized that peer-to-peer file sharing technology has some great uses. I just noticed they distribute World of Warcraft (full DVD and updates) via P2P technology. Cheaper because it uses the end user’s upstream bandwidth.

Neat!

So I finally broke down and got a new laptop (mine old one was like 6 years old). The one I opted for was the faster 15″ MacBook Pro (2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 256MB video RAM, etc.)
All in all, a pretty sweet machine (and I can run things like SuSE Linux […]

I’m curious what people would think about someone (talking about me) simply not having an email address in this day and age…
I’m not talking about pretending to not have an email address, but ACTUALLY not having one. Like if you sent me email at my old address it would bounce back with an […]

For anyone using Firefox, this is a great plug-in (made by Google). It will sync your cookies, passwords, bookmarks, history and window tabs (you can pick and choose just certain things if you want) to your Google account.
What that means is you can use Firefox on a different computer, and all your stuff will […]

Okay, is anyone tired of my server admin tips yet? Yes? Too bad.
Monitor everything… Put as much info at your finger tips as easily as possible. Put that info in a place where you will always be looking at it for some reason. For example, I made a vBulletin plug-in that […]

Okay, normally Apple products are extremely polished and well thought-out. But this airline power adapter they came out with today is just plain stupid.
I bought one today when I ordered one of Apple’s new MacBook Pro laptops at the same time. Well I just noticed some fine-print on it…
Important notes:

Using the MagSafe Airline […]

After all the beta and release candidate versions, Firefox 2.0 is finally finished and released.
Go get it.
If you don’t know what Firefox is, then you especially need to go get it (really).

Yay, more server admin fun! Here’s a useful *nix command that will let you determine what system calls a program uses… For example, I wanted to double check that libevent calls within memcached were using epoll() and select() or poll() calls (epoll scales better) on my SuSE Linux machines…
server:~ # […]

Purely out of necessity, I’ve become a system administrator/architect for digitalpoint.com servers… and a few people have been asking me for general admin tips to make things stable and scalable, so here’s a good one for you…
Use memcached… no really, use it.
memcached is a distributed memory caching system that allows multiple servers to access the […]

Here’s something cool that Google has added to Google Sitemaps for site owners…
Let’s you see how much Google’s spider crawls your site in the last 90 days, and even gives you the option to instruct Googlebot to increase or decrease their crawl activity on your site.
Here’s the stats for the Digital Point forum… Google crawling […]

Did I miss this somehow, or is this new?
Google’s Code Search is *really* handy for programmers. For example, say I wanted to see sample code that uses the preg_match() function in PHP, I could do this query:
preg_match lang:php
Neat!

I found some bugs in the web interface for a Linksys WRT54G router I bought to fix some 2Wire “issues”. One of the bugs just would give me a false error when trying to do something and keep the form from being submitted.
Anyway, the short version of this entry is that I found out […]

If you are a programmer, have you ever had one of those bizarre situations where you know something is not working, but you aren’t getting an error or anything else that would make debugging easy?
A couple days ago I migrated a cluster of web servers to PHP 5.1.x (they were running PHP 4.4.x before). […]

This really is stupid IMO… if you are worried about your weight so much that you need to go out of your way to buy a camera that actually makes you look slimmer than you really are, maybe you should just go to the gym or something. Unless you are a model and that’s […]

I was just thinking… Google needs to build an API for Gmail. Then we could do things like POP our email into an email client, and then run a script from within the email client that is able to go back to Gmail and tag stuff as spam, apply a label, etc.
That would be […]

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a joke, or what… but this guy might as well been speaking Chinese and doing backflips. I think I may be able to put one in my new car (maybe)…

Did I tell you how much I hate the 2Wire router/gateway you have to use for fiber Internet connections? You can’t get into the admin (which is web based) remotely, you can’t use DDNS so when your IP address changes weekly, you have no idea what it changed to, the firewall assumes you are […]

I guess I missed it, but Motorola released a new phone (MOTOKRZR) a few months ago that looks pretty tight. Like a new and improved RAZR. The one thing it has that I’d love to have in my RAZR is support for the high-speed EDGE stuff for fast Internet. But it does […]

Dude, I want this *really* badly now… I’ve been using fast user switching to create separate environments I can switch between quickly, but Spaces seems to be a much better solution.

More than anything, this is just a bookmark for myself. That way when/if I need it at a later date, I remember what it was!
These units are Single Band which means there are 3 separate units to serve the different carriers. Each WorkBase can fill up to 40,000 square feet […]

I tried to find a PHP class to control the new camera, and I couldn’t find one… so a little packet sniffing later, I was able to figure out how it’s little Java applet communicates with the camera. Anyway, I spent a few minutes to make a PHP class to control the camera, so […]

In theory, Gmail’s spam filtering is supposed to get smarter as you “train” it by tagging spam emails that slipped through their spam filters. I’ve been anal about going through every single email and tagging every spam email as such in the hopes that it would get smarter. In reality, I think it […]

Anyone know of some super awesome secret way to make a 2Wire Internet gateway also act as a dynamic DNS client? Since it’s a FTTP (fiber to the premises) gateway and not a “normal” DSL modem, I’m pretty sure I can’t just swap it out with something else that supports DynDNS.
The little I poked […]

I was talking to the SBC/AT&T guys that installed the Internet connectivity at the job site today and having fiber to the door is going to have some really cool advantages early next year (right now they just run phone and 6Mbps Internet across it). At that point the “standard” Internet connectivity on it […]

Someone asked me why I hide the sidebar on this blog by default, then show it in a different part of the HTML, so here’s the explanation…
Most blog themes float the main body to the left, and make the sidebar on the right “static”. I did the opposite when creating my custom WordPress theme… […]

Just for fun (since I’m a dork), I was looking for a wireless stumbler for Macintosh that supported a GPS unit because I thought it would be interesting to map how many wireless networks there are in my neighborhood (I usually can see 15-30 unique wireless networks from any given point). In my search, […]

MySQL is working on version 5.0.25 already. 5.0.23 was never released, and 5.0.24 was released on July 27, 2006.
So if 5.0.24 was released, where the hell is it? (it’s not on the download page)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-x.html
5.0.23 has a couple key bug fixes in it that I’ve been itching to get my hands […]

It’s been out for a couple days now in Digg labs, but I have to finally say that Digg’s Swarm is pretty pimp… It will be fun when they release their API and we can start building our own stuff.
Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they’re dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and […]

A buddy of mine has a new blog where he has a cartoon of himself reading his blog entries to you. That’s pretty cool if you ask me… I think we need a cartoon Shawn!

I bought an exterior dome for the camera I got (to be installed at the construction site), and the damn thing was missing the two electrical transformers it was supposed to come with. No biggie though, Videolarm shipping them out today, so should have them soon.
I guess it’s not terribly important right now since […]

Okay… I was able to recover everything from my corrupt FileVault volume and convert my home directory back to not using FileVault. The only issue right now is I’m running on 1 hard drive, not 2… but at least my computer is alive (with all my junk).

It sounds like a good idea in theory, but Apple’s FileVault sucks, and here’s why…
I installed the Mac OS X 10.4.7 update today (from 10.4.6) and it didn’t go so well (it’s not like I have some old/bunk Mac either, I have the newest quad processor PowerMac)… A reboot would give the system a kernel […]

If you are *really* dorky you can now get a USB puppet that stands up when your friend comes online via IM and “dies” when they go offline.

I kind of want one of these actually.

I have no clue if this is true, but it sure would be a fun toy if it turns out to be true.
According to informants inside the Cupertino-based computer giant, the next version of Apple’s operating system will let you track belongings through clever GPS and integrated mapping.
Either way, it’s a little […]

My 10 year old laser printer finally died on me earlier this week (it’s needed to be replaced/updated for a LONG time, so it’s kind of a good thing).
The replacement I ended up ordering was an Epson CX11N. I remember when color laser printers first came out, they were close to $10,000. Not […]

I decided I didn’t have enough to do (that’s a joke BTW), so this morning I made a “spy” system for my forum (the general idea of course was borrowed from Digg). It’s “extra” slick in Firefox because of the fades and opacity ability Firefox has, but it still works in IE, Safari, etc…
It […]

The new servers and equipment were installed into the data center yesterday (I also had to move the existing servers/equipment to a new rack), so everything is physically at the data center now (it’s not actually in USE yet, but at least it’s at a place where I can start moving stuff over to them).
Kind […]

So I was thinking about maybe doing MySQL fault tolerance and load balancing through hardware load balancers by setting up a virtual cluster for database reads and another for database writes. We could setup 2 master servers in a circular replication, making sure you only actually write to one at a time (define one […]

The new servers will be going into the data center this week (Monday if I can coordinate it), so we are close (finally!).
Just got some stuff fine-tuned with them today… wrote a cluster-copy and cluster-exec app for copying stuff across all blades and executing something on all blades. Made an init.d script that alters […]

So I’ve been fighting this networking crap for about a week now, and finally everything is working like it should. Just took a little editing of the underlying network routing tables.
I win.

“Hate” is a strong word, but in this case I think it’s appropriate…
I’m so f’ing sick of trying to screw around with network/routing problems with the new servers that I’m thinking about selling all my computers and going into construction.
Trying to fix arp routing issues is more than I ever wanted to know about networking… […]

Okay… MySQL Cluster (the storage engine) kind of sucks IMO. It’s terribly annoying that you can’t alter the DB schema of anything running it (even more annoying is that you can’t alter the schema of a database that’s NOT using ndbcluster, but just exists in the same mysqld process). So I think I’m […]

This is kind of funny.
Move over Bud. College life isn’t just about drinking beer. In a rare instance, Apple Computer Inc.’s iconic iPod music player surpassed beer drinking as the most “in” thing among undergraduate college students, according to the latest biannual market research study by Ridgewood, N.J.-based Student Monitor.
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/060608/colleges_ipods.html

Just a FYI so people stop asking/emailing me about the status of the new equipment…
Just waiting for the 220V circuit to be wired in the data center (which hopefully will be in the next few days).

I’ve had a few people email me asking for a picture of the new blade servers that are going to be taking over as web/database servers for digitalpoint.com soon…
So uhm… here is what they look like right now sitting on the floor in my spare bedroom.
From top to bottom, we have a 48 port gigabit […]

Okay, I think I’m relatively happy with how the first blade is configured for the new servers. So I split the RAID mirror today, and put one of the drives into the second blade and am letting them rebuild their RAID mirrors onto 2 new drives. So soon I’ll have 4 hard drives […]

mpt-status is a command line utility to check the RAID status for LSI 1030 RAID controllers. Now can someone tell me why in the hell SuSE Linux Enterprise bothers to come with a version of mpt-status that doesn’t work with the Linux kernel that SuSE Linux uses???
It’s basically like bundling some application with Windows […]

So apparently the MPAA and BitTorrent, Inc. are working together to clean up piracy (specifically film piracy in this case [of course since they are the MPAA]).
From Dan Glickman (MPAA Chairman and CEO):
“We are glad that Bram Cohen and his company are working with us to limit access to infringing files on the BitTorrent.com website,” […]

This is just more blah, blah about the whole MPAA vs. me thing.
One thing that I think people are not understanding here is that I’m not trying to change the world with this. I’m not trying to “take down the MPAA”, change any copyright or file sharing laws or anything else as grandiose as […]

Dude, this issue has been bugging me for months on my Mac… A couple apps would never play any sound (most notably Macromedia Flash). Anyway, I finally was able to find the solution, so hopefully someone searching Google will find this post useful.
Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Apple MIDI Setup
Check the Audio Output […]

Finally got the last (physical) piece for the blade servers (120GB RAM [60 x 2GB DIMMs]). I’m a swell counter because I counted them 5 or 6 times, and each time I counted them, I came up with 40, so I thought they shorted me 20 DIMMs for a 10 minutes or so. […]

I spent most of the day getting crap installed on the first blade as well as learning about little quirks with SuSE Linux Enterprise 9.3.
MySQL 5.0.21 was an easy install (a nice little RPM for SuSE Linux comes from MySQL).
Memcached was a pretty easy compile/install… just needed to compile/install eventlib first.
The big bitch was getting […]

My company, Digital Point Solutions (formerly known as Data Point Solutions) has been on the web for 10 years now. It sure seems like a lot longer though considering how much different stuff I’ve done in that timeframe (for example, I’ve dominated [hehe… no really] 3 different industries).
Will be interesting to see what happens […]

Paralells has their Intel Virtualization solution for Intel based Macs, but someone combined it with VirtueDesktops for a “fast OS switching” system (basically like the fast user switching that is built into OS X).

So you can run OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. all at the same time without needing an emulation layer.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours configuring all sorts of crap in the new network switch… port assignments/names, QoS, SNMP crap, etc.
I forgot that even though changes you make are applied right away, they are lost if you power cycle the equipment. Hahaha… whoops!
Don’t forget this, I know I won’t ever forget it again. […]

The blade chassis arrived on a palette today (and boy, was that an awesome time getting it upstairs), so that means all the new server equipment is here (except for additional RAM).
We got 1 blade chassis, 10 loaded blades (except for RAM right now), 2 load balancers (1 is a hot spare) and a managed […]

At the beginning of last November, I had the idea to do an automatic geolocation system for blog/website owners called Geo Visitors.
This blog got quite a bit of traffic in the last 24 hours (because of a front-page digg). Anyway, check out what the maps look like for visitors to this blog in the […]

The new blade servers were delivered this morning (10 of them). Hopefully should get the chassis tomorrow (it shipped separately), and the new switch and load balancers later in the week.

Wiggly (one of my cats) is terrified of change, and now he won’t leave my office because there are big boxes in the hallway. […]

My primary MySQL server has been VERY overloaded lately (which is the main reason new blades are on the way), but today I decided to see what I can do about it in the meantime (the parameters have already been tuned as much as possible).
First I toyed around with a single node MySQL Cluster… it […]

“Ask A Ninja” tackles the topic of Internet Neutrality. For those of you that don’t know what it is, telecoms are trying to make it legal to prioritize Internet traffic based on the who’s the highest bidder.

Google Trends is a neat little tool that lets you see how keyword searches compare historically over time. There seems to be more people searching for myspace than porn these days.

On one of my ultra-high traffic web servers, I switched from eAccelerator to APC today (an opcode/caching system for PHP). So far it seems pretty nice… Especially the ability to disable stat for each PHP request.
I ended up making a datastore class for vBulletin also so I could use it for the forum, so […]

What in the hell dude???
Now we are back to the $66,030 pricing for the 10 blades. This is $30,000 cheaper than the pricing yesterday.
UpdateRather than wait around until tomorrow when their pricing will probably change again, I went ahead and ordered them (without RAM, which I’ll add myself). So now […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m looking to get a bunch of Dell blade servers, but their pricing system (seemingly random pricing changes every day) is really irritating me. So I think I may have come up with a solution… Just buy stripped down blades and add the RAM, hard drives (and maybe even […]

Can I just tell everyone how annoying Dell’s price fluctuations are? I’m trying to purchase a blade chassis and 10 loaded blades. One day the blades are $66,030, then they are $105,400, then $66,030 again, now they are $88,040 (all pricing for identically configured blades of course). Finally I got pissed and […]

Nice! These shoes have built in LCD and GPS so pimps can keep track of their hoe’s.
The Aphrodite platform shoes will have an alarm system, which emits a piercing noise to scare off attackers. The shoes are also outfitted with a GPS receiver and an emergency button that relays both the […]

The core of WordPress (this blog software) is pretty much a piece of crap as far as it’s “guts” are concerned (although I knew this already, I just didn’t care because my blog doesn’t get enough visitors to really make that fact matter much).
Anyway, I woke up this morning to my servers being thrashed (database […]

This is an interesting plane if Boeing actually decides to build it…
A 1,000 passenger plane that is faster than existing commercial jets (mach .88), and also more efficient because of the wing design.
.There are several big advantages to the blended wing design, the most important being the lift to drag ratio which is expected to […]

Sony discontinued their entire Qualia line of high-end products. Okay… no biggie, but maybe they should come out with something to replace the products that are now gone. For example the Qualia 006 (KDS-70CQ006) was a 70″ rear projection TV with SXRD technology and it was freaking AWESOME. No seriously… AWESOME!
Sony now […]

I really want to upgrade to a high definition TV, but get this…
I live in the middle of one of the most technologically advanced cities in the United States (like I can get a T1 on a fiber connection to my place for around $100 including local loop charges) and I have 6Mbit DSL for […]

Looks like Gefen just expanded their fiber optic line of cables (all fiber optic components are built right into the cable) to also include HDMI cabling (they had them for DVI before), which means I don’t need the external HDMI extender units (7 of them from this post).
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/cables/fiberextreme.jsp#hdmiextreme

Now if they would just come out with […]

Okay… this is f’ing COOL. I knew Apple was going to include the technology in a future version of their operating system, but a third-party has done it and it making it available now as a beta. For those that don’t know what Intel Virtualization is, it allows a CPU, memory, etc. to […]

Apple made a excellent move today and announced the beta for a new Boot Camp utility. This lets you run Windows natively on the new Intel Macs without needing to come up with special hacks to trick old school OSes that need BIOS instead of EFI (and also includes all necessary Windows drivers in […]

Alternative PHP Cache is a PHP caching mechanism (like Turck mmCache, eAccelerator, etc.) that is being developed directly by PHP developers. In fact, PHP 6.0 is going to include APC Cache in it’s core framework, so it’s certainly something PHP developers/admins should start looking at.
Anyway, if you install APC Cache and Apache fails to […]

I had an issue where Googlebot was spidering parts of my site that were not allowed in the robots.txt file…
My old robots.txt file…

I ran across this excellent mashup when reading about some MPAA stuff (specifically how they got slammed at the SXSW 2006 event)…

Someone who is more of a dork than me (and with too much free time), decided to unwind CAt5 ethernet cables and make action figures out of them.

A $250,000 robotic robot… wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy a real fish?

I saw this on Boing Boing this afternoon… it looks like DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is starting to research the feasibility of engineering insect cyborgs…
Quote from their website…
DARPA seeks innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect-cyborgs, possibly enabled by intimately integrating microsystems within insects, during their early stages of metamorphoses. The healing […]

Volkswagen stole my idea, but at least now we get to see some images from it. Looks pretty cool.
Basically it’s just Google Earth running in a car stereo for things like navigation.

Apparently it’s possible to “unregister” a domain somehow… because someone registered shawnhogan.com 2 months ago, and today it was available for registration. So whatever, I registered it.

Not sure if these are fakes of the forthcoming iPod AV or not, but if they are real, I’m gonna have to get one of these things.

If they are fake, they are pretty well done.

With version 5.1.7, MySQL 5.1 (which is something I’m [not] patiently waiting for) has gone from alpha to beta status.
The stuff I’m really looking forward to is it’s improvements to the NDB Cluster engine…

Disk Data tables (before NDB Cluster required everything to be memory-resident)
Integration of MySQL Cluster and MySQL replication
Variable sized records

Now hurry up through […]
