Monday February 16, 2009 A bitty weekLast week was a pretty bitty week, dominated by the need to complete some mandatory, examined web training. I have recently completed similar training in Sun's Unified Storage Products which I found useful. This one is not so focused on technology and while useful in that I learned a couple of things, I really wonder if it was a good use of my time. Prior to getting stuck in, I made some progress on my web estate including Laconica, planet and glassfish. I got a copy of mingle running on one of my Linux images but made no progress on installing Glassfish. I have taken advice and been recommended to use the Sun installer, but I am being stubborn and want to see if I can use the Ubuntu package installer. Mind you I got fed up with bash & sh and installed the Korn Shell. I was able to use the package manager which is cool. I was expecting that some Linux religous view, or over zealous conformance with the various licenes would prohibit its inclusion, but it works fine. Since I shall only be using it for scripts, I don't need to write a global .kshrc and install it where ever it would need to be. What broke the Camel's back? I felt I needed I ended the week on Sunday at the Chichester Smith and Western, where the atmosphere, decor and music are fun and the portions enormous. tags: technology ubuntu linux ksh shell scripting

(2009-02-16 02:44:06.0) Permalink Influencing Planet's output name spaceEarlier, last week on the planet developers mail list, Fredric Muller writes From the help file I read: I can think of a couple of ways of solving this problem. My first way, which may not be the simplest, is based on the fact that I have several planet instances and for the most advanced and thought out installation I have answered this problem as follows. It is designed to answer another problem and so might be overkill.
because I have multiple config.ini's and index.tmpl files, I can (and do) have multiple output directories and also ensure that the HTML pages meet my look and feel requirements. I do this at http://davelevy.dyndns.info/planet/davelevy and http://davelevy.dyndns.info/planet/g3 and on my development site have a standard planet venus and a mingle solution. I shall be moving the two planets above shortly so I suggest that you don't rely on them for a while. Within Sun's firewall, I have a community feed and one for me (like planet davelevy above) that uses this technique. The original requirement was based on the need for quite different config.ini files, with different input feed lists but Fredric's case is also solved using the technique. I also have a script to tidy up the logs, maybe I should publish them all. (If you want'em comment or reply to the planet development list and ask. ) The second answer for Fredric's case, is that since I encapsulate tags: technology planetplanet
