I’ve been struggling to install the beast that is Clearcase 7.1.1 on a proof of concept server.
In this case the server is a Solaris 10 64bit install running on VMware Fusion 3.
One of the initial mistakes I made was to try and run the installation from a network mount. DON’T. Solaris must block the execution of code on some types of removable drives, which in this case was a VMWare Fusion shared folder.
Download and try the following OS, and give it a go.
OpenBSD v4.7 OpenBSD is a multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system, and is fast, simple to install and secure “out of the box”.
Download installation files Read the Installation guide Read the Frequently Asked Questions A good introductory book for OpenBSD is the “OpenBSD Command Line Companion” by Jacek Artymiak. It walks you through an install and an intro to OpenBSD.
This has been bugging me for ages, but the fix is so simple.
I use OpenBSD for my router, and have PF (Packet Filter) running the firewall and NAT rules.
I have previously setup the port forwarding, etc. according to Apple, but never could get a successful connection using video or audio (or screen sharing).
After reading a post on the OpenBSD misc mailing list I went back and read the OpenBSD 4.
I was trying to clone my wordpress plugin from the wordpress svn repo using git-svn. I had no luck for about the past 8 weeks, with this problem:
<br /> Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/lantrix/tweet/.git/<br /> Using higher level of URL: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tweet => http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org<br /> And it would proceed to hit up the entire wordpress repo.
After reading a possible solution on Charlie’s Old blog, I stubmled across a newer way to do this.
Here is a quick way to show the current git branch when you are in a repository directory. Place this in your .bashrc or .bash_profile:
I’ve also customised the PS1 to show user/host/path.
You should probably setup git bash completion as well. This can be done by sourcing the bash completion script that is available in the git source code as shown (change path to where you place script):

Worksheet names in Excel Cells If you are working in Excel, and you want to show the worksheet name in a Cell on that worksheet, you can use the CELL function to do so.
By default the CELL function will return the current document name, if used with the filename info_type:
=CELL("filename")
This provides a full path to the spreadsheet, with the worksheet of the current Cell at the end, e.
If you use Unix, and need to migrate your Business objects CMS from one database to another database, you will probably use the cmsdbsetup.sh script. This script migrates and manages your database connection in a Unix environment using Business Objects Enterprise (BOE).
In my case I am Using Solaris 9, and have Oracle 10g databases and client files for use by BOE.
When running the cmsdbsetup.sh script you get the following error pertaining to clntsh:
Apple released Bootcamp 2.1 with OS 10.5, which allows you to dual boot to Windows XP/Vista on your Mac.
Subsequenet to that release, there was a driver update for the Multitouch trackpad which was suppose to improve souble tapping, etc. However it caused a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) the moment you double tapped, courtesy of applemtp.sys.
Many people sent suggestions to Apple to fix this, but it seemed to be falling on deaf ears.
This is the same issue I’ve posted on a couple of forums. It’s seemed detailed enough to be a blog post, so here it is. Under 10.5.8 (Leopard) I was successfully using my Merlin XU870 ExpressCard (supplied by ISP) with Three Broadband (3) in Australia. I did not use the 3 drivers, but used the Leopard WWAN built-in to connect. There was never an issue as Leopard detected the card as a “Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem”, and I configured the Network Advanced settings for 3 postpaid services as:
