Get the solution from Vim Wikia post here, already tried this by myself and worked like a charm :)

If you ever get this error while trying to add cron entries:

crontab: temp file must be edited in place

Then the solution is very simple. You just need to create ~/.vim/ftplugin/crontab.vim and add this one line:

set backupcopy=yes

Save the file and you can try to add cron entry again.

If you're the person who always logging anything like I do, probably you should try Simplenote , "easy way to keep notes, lists, ideas, and more" -- that's what they say in their website :)

For me, the ubiquity to using their service in many platform is their advantage. As a vim user, fortunately there are already many plugins to support my need in using Simplenote service, and one of them is Vimplenote

One reason for choosing Vimplenote than another plugins is because it's the easiest one to configure. I also using Vundle, Vim package manager to install and manage my vim plugins.

Enough said, just follow my steps to do it:
1. I prefer clean install, so move your ~/.vim and archive it

$ mv ~/.vim ~/.vim-bk

2. Create new ~/.vim and ~/.vim/bundle (to contain your plugins)

$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle

3. Setup Vundle

$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

4. Configuring .vimrc

 set nocompatible               " be iMproved
 filetype off                   " required!

 set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
 call vundle#rc()

 " let Vundle manage Vundle
 " required! 
 Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

 " My Bundles here:
 "
 " original repos on github
Bundle 'mattn/vimplenote'

Bundle 'mattn/webapi'

 " ...

 filetype plugin indent on     " required! 
 "
 " Brief help
 " :BundleList          - list configured bundles
 " :BundleInstall(!)    - install(update) bundles
 " :BundleSearch(!) foo - search(or refresh cache first) for foo
 " :BundleClean(!)      - confirm(or auto-approve) removal of unused bundles
 "
 " see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ
 " NOTE: comments after Bundle command are not allowed.. 

5.  Get webapi-vim and vimplenote-vim

$ git clone git://github.com/mattn/webapi-vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/webapi
$ git clone git://github.com/mattn/vimplenote-vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/vimplenote

6. Running and installing bundle

$ vim
:BundleInstall

7. Using Vimplenote (do it inside vim)

:Vimplenote -l     " list of your Simplenote notes (you'll be prompted to fill in login credentials)
:Vimplenote -d    " delete your current note
:Vimplenote -n    " create new note
:Vimplenote -u    " update current note
:Vimplenote -t     " add a tag to a note
:Vimplenote -s    " search a note

And you're good to go :)

You can also see the README file in every plugin page to see additional info.

Credit goes to loopkid, for I only put several parts that I used into my blogpost.

Last time I tried to wget a libnotifyperl.pl file from the web, I got this error:


The workaround is by installing curl-ca-bundle using MacPorts:

$ sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

Then, create .wgetrc file in your home directory:

$ vim ~/.wgetrc

And put this line:

CA_CERTIFICATE=/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt

That way, you don't need to include the path everytime you want to do a wget.

Here's how to get Installous from Cydia:
1. Your iOS device must already been jailbreak, you can see here for my blogpost about jailbreak-ing iOS device
2. Open up Cydia
3. If you open it up for the first time, choose "Developer" mode
4. Once it loaded, click "Manage" then choose "Source"
5. Click 'Edit' then 'Add'
6. Type in: "cydia.hackulo.us" (withou quotation marks), and click on "Add Source" button
7. There would be popup shown, wait for the process to finish, then click "Back to Cydia" button
8. Click "Search" then type "Installous"
9. When the search listing its results, choose Installous 4 then install
10.  Now you have Installous installed on your iOS device :)

I assume you already tried to run UbuntuChroot on your #webOS device, and now you'd like to get back any space taken by EXT3FS. Here's simple thing you can do:

# umount /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs

# lvremove /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs

# lvdisplay /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs

# lvremove /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs

# df -kh

# umount /dev/mapper/store-media

# resizefat /dev/mapper/store-media 6995968K

And here's what you've got on user's diskspace after everything is done:


Enjoy! :)

While accessing my #webOS device, there comes a time when I need to show hidden files. But you can't find anywhere in the menu, just like you did with Folder Properties in Windows operating system. All you have to do is simple, using Terminal apps. Here's what you have to do:

1. Open Terminal apps
2. Type this command:

$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
$ killall Finder

And suddenly you'll find changes in your Finder. If you ever want to get the already-revealed hidden files to default, just type the same command as above and change TRUE to FALSE:

$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
$ killall Finder

This is just notes taken for personal use on which options used in tcpdump command:

# sudo tcpdump -i en0 -vvv -K -n -s 0 -w ~/Desktop/DumpFile.dmp

or without -K option:

# sudo tcpdump -i en0 -vvv -n -s 0 -w ~/Desktop/DumpFile.dmp

If you want to stop it from capturing, just press control-c. And to view the file:

# sudo tcpdump -s 0 -n -e -x -vvv -r ~/Desktop/DumpFile.dmp

Here's options explanation using in command above:
-i     interface
-vvv     even more verbose output
-K     don't attempt to verify TCP, UDP and IP checksums
-n     don't convert addressed to names
-s     snaplen settings. setting snaplen to 0 means use the required length to catch whole packets
-w     write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out
-x     when parsing and printing, in addition to printing header of each packet, print the data of each packet (minus its link level header) in hex
-r     read packets from file

My everyday work are sometime using winbox to configure and manage routerboard device which running MikroTik OS, while using MacBook Pro, I need to prepare the environment since winbox are meant to be run on Windows environment. I can use either Darwine or wine package from macports, and I chose to use macports, since I'm more used to CLI environment.

All you need to do is:
1. choose the package according to Mac OS X version, download and install from here
2. for snow leopard (64-bit), you should install wine-devel instead of wine package, and add +universal
#  sudo port -v install wine-devel +universal

3. then you should be able to run winbox.exe from terminal
# /opt/local/bin/wine winbox.exe

4. you can also download this package, put it in your Applications and just double-click to run it

For complete references on other Mac OS X version, see here

The situation is like this, I have a bunch of download movie (in .avi format) and .srt (subtitles) files along with all of those movie files. Since I don't have much time to watch the movies in my Mac/ PC or player, I want to keep it in my Palm Pre, so I can play it any moment I have some times (while waiting, perhaps). But since video player in Palm Pre doesn't support displaying .srt file while playing the video files, I have to convert it and hardcoded the .srt file so it could "attach" to the converted video files (.mp4 or .m4v, the same format that can be played in iPhone's or Palm Pre's video player).

Here's what you need:
1. Perian (go here to download and install if you haven't already installed it)
2. Quick Time (already installed in any Mac OS X)
3. .avi and .srt files (of course! :D )

And here's what you've got to do:
1. Install Perian
2. Go to System Preferences, open up the Perian and make sure you check "Load External Subtitles" on Subtitle Options section
3. Launch Quick Time and open up .avi file
4. If it plays well and your subtitle can show up then Perian works well
5. File - Save as.. and you can choose the directory where to save the file and file format



6. I choose iPhone format, so it saved as .m4v file
7. Done :)

I'm using this because I'm tired of connecting USB cable everytime I want to copy files between my Palm Pre and my MacBookPro. Actually there's only 5 simple steps to follow:

1. Install Preware
2. Use Preware to install SFTP and terminal application
3. Use terminal application to generate keys for OpenSSH
4. Transfer SSH keys to desktop via USB
5. Configure SFTP client (I'm using Cyberduck on Mac OS X) on desktop and connect

# cd /
# /opt/bin/ssh-keygen (press Enter key once to accept default filename, then Enter key twice for blank password)
# mv /home/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

You have to installed Leopard version of  JRE 1.5, like I post in previous blog post before doing these steps. After installing SPSS 17 and JRE 1.5 on Snow Leopard, open edit 2 files system:

# vim /Applications/SPSSInc/Statistics17/SPSSStatistics17.0.app/Contents/bin/jvmcfg.ini

Comment this line (put semicolon in front of this line):

jvm_lib_path1=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Libraries/

and add this line (to change the previous commented line):

jvm_lib_path1=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Libraries/

2. /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/Exceptions.plist

# sudo vim  /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/Exceptions.plist

Find this line:

"com.spss.SPSSStatistics.17.0"

"17.1"

and change 17.1 to 17.0

That's all you need to do.  This workaround makes me run SPSS 17 smoothly on my MacBook Pro :)

This JRE workaround was I did to make SPSS 17 runs well on Snow Leopard, in order to make things clearer, I divide those 2 things and put each of them on separate blog post. So let's get started! :)


Just follow this simple steps, and in the end you'll get JRE1.5 installed. Please keep in mind that this steps will not remove JRE1.6, but add the option to choose with JRE you'd like to use. First you can go to Finder -> Utilities -> Java Preferences, and check to make sure you only have Java SE 6 there (32-bit and 64-bit version). If you already have J2SE 5.0 (32-bit and 64-bit), just move 32-bit version to top of the list and you're done. No need to follow these steps below :D


1. Check your current version of JRE installed:

# java -version

2. change directory to home directory

# cd ~/

3. retrieve JRE version for Leopard (OS X 10.5.x)

# curl -o java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/isdal/snow_leopard_workaround/java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz

4. extract the file you just downloaded

# tar -xvzf java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz

5. remove existing 1.5 version file on Snow Leopard

# sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5

6. remove existing 1.5.0 version file on Snow Leopard

# sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0

7. move current extracted JRE1.5 for Leopard to existing System directory

# sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard

8. make link from currently moved folder to previously removed file

# sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5

9. same usage as no. 8

# sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0

And after you done with all 9 steps above, just go to Finder -> Utilities -> Java Preferences.


There you'll see additional J2SE 5.0 (32-bit and 64-bit), move J2SE 5.0 32-bit version to top of the list, close the preferences, then go back to Terminal apps to execute this command:

# java -version

Notice the differences? You'll now get the "java version 1.5.0_19" (in my MacBook Pro). And you're done :)

I put the title, so I am aware that what I'm about to write here works on almost any iOS device (which I already tried the same way for iPhone 3G/s and 1st generation of iPad). After reading on several blogs, and tried it on my iOS device myself, I choose the method using redsn0w. All you need to do first is make sure that newest update iOS version already been able to jailbreak, and all requirement files are downloaded and ready to use.

Actually you only need 2 files, redsn0w (mac and/or windows) and .ipsw files according to which version of iOS device you want to jailbreak. After you get those two files, execute redsn0w, choose the .ipsw files, check only at "Install Cydia", then just follow onscreen instruction at redsn0w window. That's it! :) And after rebooted, you'll find Cydia icon in your launcher.

Here are some of the snapshot I took, when jailbreak iPhone 3G:

First, you have to install Macports, then install mutt with all these compile options:

# sudo port -v install mutt-devel +ssl +smtp +date_conditional +deepif +gdbm +gpgme +headercache +idn +sidebar +trash +sasl

Then, on your .muttrc file, add these config:

--- begin of configuration ---

#account settings

set realname = "REAL_NAME"
set imap_user = "YOUR_GMAIL_ADDRESS"

--- end of configuration ---

On these line, you can customize it to use other file editor such as vi or vim. Since I'm not familiar with emacs, I'm using vi :)

# Set which Editor to use for composing Emails.
set editor= '/usr/bin/emacs'




And in these line, you can add/ remove any IMAP folders you already set on Gmail, prefix it with '=' :







# which mailboxes to list in the sidebar,
# you can add your Labels in Gmail to the Sidebar.
mailboxes =All\ Mail =INBOX =Drafts =Sent\ Mail  =Trash













You will be prompted to accept 2 certificates when first firing up mutt, just accept it. Here's a screenshoot of my mutt interface:

Here is several MacPorts commands that I often used, with little description on every command. I always use -v option (as in verbose), to look at the detail downloading and compiling process.


1. sudo port -v selfupdate
- removing and downloading new file repository list, often updated

2. sudo port -v upgrade outdated
- upgrade outdate port, according to newest file repository list

3. sudo port -v uninstall inactive
- even after update, macports still kept the outdated version, you can execute this command to automatically vanish outdated version immediately

3. sudo port -v search [port]
- used for looking certain port

4. sudo port -v install [port]
- install certain port

5. sudo port -v uninstall [port]
- uninstall certain port

6. sudo port -v clean --all [port]
- clean up all port build and dependencies

7. sudo port -v activate [port@version]
- activate certain port version

8. sudo port -v installed
- shows up all port installed

Lengkapnya bisa diliat di link ini: http://qmail.jms1.net/test-auth.shtml. Saya coba summaries cara mudahnya sbb:

1. Create dulu base64 encode dari email address dan password kita:

$ perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\000[mailbox]\@[domain]\000[password]")'

contoh:
$ perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\000kostka\@cbn.net.id\000passkostka")'
