bookmark_borderSolving problemas with PhPMyadmin on Ubuntu

Posted on by dansku

You know, everytime you want to install LAMP + phpmyadmin on Ubuntu, you can simply write on terminal:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server-5.0 php5 php5-mysql phpmyadmin

Ok, you are ready to go, but the only problem is that you can’t find the phpmyadmin folder when accessing http://localhost/ you can’t even see the folder at /var/www/ . So what you should do is:

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin

It will link the phpmyadmin folder from /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ to /var/www/phpmyadmin
now try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and you are good to go! 🙂

bookmark_borderReview: Lacie Pocket 500gb External Drive

Posted on by dansku

Some days ago I bough the Lacie Pocket 500gb external hard-drive, and since then I have been very happy with my purchase. The HD is small enough to fit any pocket in my bag (3.19 x 0.71 x 5.08 inches [WxHxD]) and with the weight of 3 pounds, it makes easy to take everywhere. I know that having an external notebook hard-drive isn’t the safest way to store you precious data, but its a great place to store music, videos and photos in which you can take anywhere. At home I have my HTPC (Home theater PC) with a lot of free storage, so what I do is, I have a backup of all my data on the external lacie drive, and another copy of my precious things on my HTPC, this way I hope all my information is safe (I am also thinking on having another copy on the clouds [amazon s3]). Everything is backed up using a simple bash script made by me that will make copies to the external drive and to my media center via FTP.

bookmark_borderMAKE presents: The LED

Posted on by dansku

As you might already know, I am big of a LED fan, love all its light power and low power needed for that. While viewing the RSS from
HackZine I saw a great short video about the history of LEDs and a little about how to use them. I liked, and decided to share with you, hope you like as much as I.

In case you would like to learn more about leds, you can visit HowStuffWorks and on Wikipedia.

Some projects I’ve used with leds:

Posted on by dansku

While following the coverage of Apple’s macbook event at gizmodo, I found one picture that I think is worth sharing,
they took a shot from people writing stuff about the event… And from few notebook screens I could see there, at least 3 using wordpress. Thumbs up WP!! 😀

BTW, new macbook’s looks amazing, can’t wait to get one of those!!!

bookmark_borderByte++ makes a binary beat

Posted on by dansku

This is a cool idea, making a binary counter music.

“Niklas turns a commonly silent digital process into music –

This is an experiment, where I count one byte up – from 00000000 to 11111111. Decimal spoke, this is from 0 to 255. I have assigned a sound to each bit and when it switches from 0 to 1, the sound is played”
