After updating from Tiger to Leopard I started getting this error whener I tried to execute emacs:


Fatal malloc_jumpstart() error


The solution was basically to reinstall it with dumpemacs


sudo mv /usr/bin/emacs-i386 /usr/bin/emacs-i386.backup
sudo /usr/libexec/dumpemacs -d
emacs --version
emacs


Via Apple Support Discussions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FrostWire 4.13.5 is now available for MS Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Major updates improve network bootstraping and peer discovery. 4.13.5 includes improvements on the Chatroom tab, Audio Previews and more.

Other improvements have taken place for the FrostWire build process (for developers this means true One-Step builds for all versions). Updates on translations have been made thanks to the feedback from users in Poland and throughout Latin America. .

In more detail users can expect the following:

• Faster peer discovery on connection bootstraping. No more “Starting Connection…” problems, first time users will connect faster without using the official FixConnecting.zip patch.

• Smiley Support to the chatroom

Users can see the available smileys by entering the command
/smileys

Now its possible to see and use Smileys from the Community Chat tab, Smiley display can be enabled or disabled from the view menu:

Users can also toggle Smiley display directly from the chat window by typing the command
/tsmileys

• Fixed wording on Spanish and Polish translations.

Bug Fixes and other improvements for this release also include:

• FrostWire Message Update System improved. Per community request, some announcements will not be shown more than once so the user is not annoyed upon every application launch
• Fixed bugs on the media player and playlists on Preview.
• Fixed bug on search box auto-focusing while a search was running.
• Fixed i18n system error for systems which default language is not english
• Potential bugs related to deprecated code gone

Users can find now by details without the auto-focusing problem.

FrostWire 4.13.5 is expected to be the last of the 4.13.x series.

About FrostWire

FrostWire, a Gnutella Peer-to-Peer client, is a collaborative effort from many Open Source and freelance developers located from all around the world. In late 2005, concerned developers of LimeWire’s open source community announced the start of a new project fork “FrostWire” that would protect the developmental source code of the LimeWire client and any improvements to the Gnutella protocol design.

Para los amigos que se inician en el mundo *nix, ya sea con su nueva Mac, o con una PC corriendo Linux,
les recomiendo que aprendan a manejar bien los siguientes lenguajes, y el mundo sera suyo:

- bash scripting (aliases, variables, exports, iteraciones, condicionales)
- python (para programar logica mas compleja y portatil en cualquier sistema operativo)
- Uso de comandos como grep, egrep, awk (editor de streams) entre otros
- Expresiones regulares

En wedoit4you.com hicimos un simple script que va logeando visitas desde los blogs registrados.
Los blogeros ponen un pedacito de javascript, que al ser invocado, escribe una entrada en un log en el servidor.

Luego tenemos un script que analiza ese log, elimina cualquier intento de hacer muchos clicks, etc. etc.
Ese script se encarga luego de hacer matching de las URLs entrantes, con las URLs de los posts que wedoit4you.com
ya leyo. Este script lamentablemente tarda mucho en analizar mas de 150mb de data, mas lo que haya en el log,
y Dreamhost lo mata si dura mas de un minuto, o si hay mas de N procesos corriendo.

Que hacemos entonces?

Ponemos ese script en una maquina local, donde tenemos todo el cpu, y hacemos que el servidor a ciertas horas
del dia, haga un mysqldump de las tablas que me interesan (BLOGS, BLOG_POSTS, POST_HITS) y meta eso en un archivo
disponible via HTTP.


#!/bin/bash
DUMP_DIR=/home/cuenta_en_server/sitio.com/temp/
SQL_FILE_NAME=clicktrackr_dump.sql
SQL_FILE=${DUMP_DIR}/${SQL_FILE_NAME}
TGZ_FILE=${SQL_FILE_FNAME}.tar.gz
mysqldump bd_en_servidor BLOGS BLOG_POSTS POST_HITS > ${SQL_FILE}
cd ${DUMP_DIR}
pwd
echo Making tar
tar cfz ${TGZ_FILE} ${SQL_FILE}
echo Tar with SQL dump ready to be downloaded.
echo Finished.


Este script corre digamos a las 4am en el servidor.

Luego desde la casa
Luego en la maquina local corre un cronjob a las 4:30am, En mi caso una apple iMac Intel, y he aqui el poder de tener una Mac basada en Unix, y no la cagada de windows de mierda.

Hice sencillo bash script que se baja ese dump de la base de datos, y se baja el log del clickTracker para hacer los calculos en mi cpu,
(con el cual hago lo que me da la gana), los calculos son realizados con un script en python (click_tracker.py, incluido al final)
y una vez que termina de calcular, hace ftp de vuelta hacia el servidor y sube un archivo SQL
con instrucciones SQL para que se actualizen los hits de los posts. Este archivo de lolas que no lo subo a un directorio disponible en apache
pq alguien podria meterse con el y alterarnos los hits… Este Script local luce asi:


#!/bin/bash
rm /Users/gubatron/clicktrackr/*.tar.gz
rm /Users/gubatron/clicktrackr/*.sql
rm /Users/gubatron/clicktrackr/*.dat
rm /Users/gubatron/clicktrackr/*.log
echo "Downloading dump from server..."

echo "Uncompressing Dump..."
tar xfz clicktrackr_dump.sql.tar.gz
echo "Loading data in MySQL"

echo "Downloading latest tracker.log"
wget http://www.wedoit4you.com/xxxxxxxxx/logs/tracker.log -O /Users/gubatron/clicktrackr/tracker.log
echo "Crunching Data with python script"
python click_tracker.py
echo "Compressing data crunched"
tar cvfz clicktrackr_update_tables.sql.tar.gz clicktrackr_update_tables.sql
echo "Uploading data"
#then upload tar.gz clicktrackr_update_tables.sql
ftp -u ftp://usuario:password@wedoit4you.com/directorioNoAccesiblePorApache/ clicktrackr_update_tables.sql.tar.gz
echo "Finished"


La salida de este script cuando se ejecuta es similar ea esto

Una vez que la data fue procesada y FTPeada al servidor, hay otro cronjob que corre una hora mas
tarde, y este asume que el nuevo archivo con la data procesada estara ahi, podriamos agregarle mas
checks, utilizando "stat" y anotando el ultimo timestamp del sql utlizado la vez anterior cosa que no
volvamos a anotar los hits del dia anterior...

Asi luce el script para actualizar finalmente en el servidor:


#!/bin/bash
DIR_PRIVADO=/home/usuario/dirPrivado
PATH_DEL_TRACKER_LOG=/home/usuario/algunaCarpeta/tracker.log
cd ${DIR_PRIVADO}
rm *.sql
tar xvfz clicktrackr_update_tables.sql.tar.gz
mysql bd_en_servidor < ${DIR_PRIVADO}/clicktrackr_update_tables.sql
rm *.tar.gz
rm *.sql
rm
touch ${PATH_DEL_TRACKER_LOG}
chmod 777 ${PATH_DEL_TRACKER_LOG}


Si tienes curiosidad de ver como cruncheo la data localmente, aqui esta el codigo en python.

Aqui los dejo con 2 videos.

Instale el VirtueDesktops para cambiar de escritorios con efectos especiales, y el otro video mientras instalo Windows XP SP2 en un disco duro virtual con un ISO torrenteado. La version de Parallels es un trial de 15 dias, si funciona al pelo creo que vale la pena comprarlo, es preferible que comprar una PC nueva.

So I wanted to use the GIMP, and OpenOffice, being a good Open Source boy on the new iMac.

The only problem is that you need to have X11 installed.

So first thing you do, is you google and you find this page:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html

which has a 43mb installer that at least for me errored out saying I had something newer installed. Then all READMEs say that if you have Tiger installed you need to install X11 from the Mac OSX installation disc.

If you go to the disc and try to install from the Install Bundled Software Only you are not going to find it.

After wasting time, I found a the silver bullet on the disc:

/System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg

Then after I installed, on the Root of the Disc I saw another Icon called "Optional Installs", guess what? It was there also…

Anyway, I hope you find this post if you're in the same trouble I didn't read anything on apple's site on how to get to it on the disc.

Oh, and one cool thing you get by installing X11 -> xterm (yay!)
