Google stalker tool

I find it very creepy that if you google someone with a very rare name, you get a list of all of their online accounts.

I googled myself the other day and I got this blog, my friends blog that posted about me, my linked in, facebook, blogger and bebo account.

Look google is a great tool, but maybe it's a little too good. It's a good thing that I don't give away a lot of personal contact details on these sites, but the pour souls that don't know any better might just be making themselves available for stalking.

Coke Fest Prices

OMW!!!!! I can't believe it, but I just checked the prices for the coke fest this year.

Golden Circle standing: R600.00
General Admission Standing: R375.00
Disabled Platform: R299.00
Student Discount R299.00

The line up isn't any wonders and the prices are sick. It has been decided by my panel of fellow rockers that we will NOT be attending this event. It would be a lot more fun to take that money, go camp somewhere, listen to the bands that we want to listen to and not stand in a cue for 2hours to get a drink.

Besides it is hosted at the Newmarket Racecourse again this year. The venue has so much quick sand that I'm sure that there is still a hot dog stand, 200 shoes and 5 children stuck in the mud somewhere on that track. MAYBE next year when they surprise me with someone of my choice.

New Year - Employee Rules and Regulations

*Dress Code*

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.

If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better,so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore do not need a raise.

If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore do not need a raise.


************




*Sick Days*

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness.

If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

The Preoccupancy / Tyranny of Popularity

The preoccupancy of popularity is a title I've been working on for sometime and means a great deal to me as I have, 
for the past 6 years, never stopped thinking about it since my high school ''sentence'' (a little bit of humour for you).

I had this discussion with my father a while back about my total disgust regarding the ''popularity system'' at school. 
In my mind, ''popularity'' means the quality of being well-liked by ALL people, or rather SOME people, which is the case.

Popularity never really meant much to me, and although this might sound like a pitiful attempt to slander popularity, or 
rather, the small popular mass, it is not so.

I have no problem with it, I have a problem with what the small mass thinks is socially acceptable and what is not, and 
then they take it upon themselves to humiliate and intimidate in an attempt to solve the problem.

As you might have gather by now I was not a part of the popular mass, and I was picked on incessently in school. 
I sometimes thought to myself that I could inflict the same humiliation on them as they have done on me, but as 
I have grown a little bit older I cant help as to feel a great deal of sorrow for these people, How they can day after day
do dispicabele things to other who don't deserve it as part of being popular or even worse, as part of a ''joke''.

And it seems they become so taken by the ''responsibilities'' of being popular that another persons self worth gets 
lost in the process, and it always seemed to me that they feel they have the right to rob you of your individuality.

But who is to blame excactly??, Are they to blame??. In part yes they are to blame, but one only carries wisdom from
those beyond one's years, and I feel that teachers are to blame. My High School, which I will not name for legal reasons,
was guilty of this and I can explain it in a simple example:

The so-called distinguised, well mannered, ''men'' of honour rugby players can never ever seem to do harm in the 
teachers eyes, and why is this?? I was once put in a situation where jock publically humiliated hazed a friend of mine 
to the verge of tears and when It was reported to the teacher they just kept quiet about it. absolutely pathetic

I watched a show once with my sister, a typical ''suzi-high-school'' series...I just cant remember the name, but anyway
It also,centred around a normal guy that was harassed every day of his life at school until one day he jsut couldn't take
it anymore. He decided the one day he couldn't take it anymore and took a gun to school. As the story goes he kept his
class hostage. People where scared they pleaded with him to put the gun down let everyone go and then they'll talk 
about it. What came out of his mouth will stay with me forever

...he said...''you don't know what it's like, day after day, being cursed at, shrugged aside, beaten and verbally abused,
every day is a fight to survive, I am scared to death every single day of my life to get out of bed and face it all over again''

he said this and afterward pulled the trigger and killed himself...

Until this day I can cannot forget seeing this person so terrified to go to school that he took his own life to relieve the 
burden, and to the small masses everywhere in the world...if you are someone that belittles another for fun...you 
should feel disgusted with yourself

I sometimes feel that I am alone when I speak about this subject and it frightens me, are we so far gone that these 
things don't matter anymore...

...and you should ask yourself...does it matter to you?

Milk Scandal Death Sentances

On Thursday a man in China was sentenced to death for producing and selling contaminated milk. Zhang Yujun was convicted of endangering public security and given the death penalty by a court in northern China.

Apparently he ran a workshop that illegally put melamine into baby milk powder to boost its protein content.

Tian Wenhua, 66, who was chairperson of the Sanlu company, which was 43% owned by Fonterra, was sentenced to life in prison.

6 babies were killed and More than 300 000 children were sickened by dairy products laced with the industrial chemical melamine , more than five times the original figure.

Personally I think these are harsh sentences. I can't decide whether they are fair or not. It really comes down to drawing the line, which crimes deserve death? Then again, they did almost commit genocide.

MyCokeFest 2009 Line-up

It has finally been released.

The following international bands will be rocking Joburg and Cape Town:
Oasis
Bullet for my Valentine
Snow Patrol
Panic at the Disco


The local bands playing at the 2009 Coca Cola Zero Fest are as follows:
Zebra and Giraffe
The Dirty Skirts

After seeing Muse, Korn and Chris Cornell last year, it is hard to appreciate another line-up ever again. I was hoping foo fighters would come, so I'm a bit disappointed. Look it is not a bad line-up, but to be honest I don't think I'll be buying golden circle tickets this year.

There are still some more bands to be announced so you can go check out their website every now and then. http://www.mycoke.co.za/

Economical Crisis

I can't believe that South Africa is finally getting a R500 note. It just highlights again that the world is in an economical crisis and that the cost of living is getting to be very expensive.

At the looks of it we are getting rid of coins and moving on to paper. The 1/2c and the 1c isn't being produced anymore and I'm not sure but the 2c is getting pretty scarce too. On the other hand, it is probably cheaper to produce paper money rather than coins.

The sad thing is the fact that money is drastically losing its worth. If I think back at what I could have bought with R5 10years ago, I find it quite shocking. The most expensive ice creams, a lot and I mean A LOT of sweets, 5breads, they all cost R5. Chappies bubble gum cost 10c.

Well it is time to embrace the future, at least paper money has pretty pictures on.

Sex Sells

My friend Arne did a post on sex on his blog as a little experiment to see if it would bring in some traffic. Shockingly it up'd his traffic with 300% and this is for only 1 post!!!

If you want to read the results go to the following link.
http://blog.justpulse.com/2009/01/13/the-sex-experiment-results/

It makes it obvious that the "hot"test topic on the net is definitely sex. I can't help but picture a guy secretly sitting in a dark room with a dial up connection, looking over his shoulder every 5 seconds. googling for the latest "hot" thing. Lol..

Prostitute or a programmer

Are you a prostitute or a programmer?
1. You work very odd hours.
2. You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.
3. You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money.
4. You spend a majority of your time in an airconditioned room.
5. You charge by the hour but your time can be extended for the right price.
6. You are not proud of what you do.
7. Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
8. It's difficult to have a family.
9. You have no job satisfaction.
10. If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client.
11. You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.
12. People ask you, "What do you do?" and you can't explain it.
13. Your family hardly recognizes you at reunions (at least the reunions you attend.)
14. Your friends have distanced themselves from you and you're left hanging with only other "professionals."
15. Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.
16. Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.
17. Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or BMWs.
18. Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the pain of it all.
19. You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it's not your problem.
20. When you leave to go see a client, you look great,but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).
21. You are rated on your "performance" in an excruciating ordeal.
22. Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the client who walks away smiling.
23. The client always thinks your "cut" of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.
24. When you deduct your "take" from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.

Some holiday pics...

As promised, here are some pictures form our holiday trip..

Erwin on Johannesburg train station, protecting our luggage form who knows what. "Apparently" Johannesburg in one of the most dangerous cities in the world..pffff!!!

A view of the South African Railway system.


Chris and I at one of the Havana pubs in Jeffrey's. We were waiting for Erwin and decided to go search for greener pastures.


Later that same day, playing drinking Uno. What the others don't know is that we were secretly swopping cards in this photo..


Battle!!!! This was before we headed down to the beach in our starship trooper gear to unleash the wrath of the wettening.

Erwin and Marié both say that this picture was not planned...If that is the case, they are just naturally "hot".

I might post some more later..I just need to get a hold of the other photos.
It was definitely a fun holiday.

Hot!!

This holiday it was decided by my panel of friends that the word "hectic" would no longer exist and now be replaced by the word "hot". All went well and "hot" seemed to be perfect as it worked in most sentences, like "We're watching a hot movie", "We had a hot day on the beach"...up until the bus trip back to Pretoria...

It was a long trip and I decided that I needed to go to the "emergency bathroom" that was situated on the lower level of the bus. The bus has television screens and you can set the seats back to sleep more comfortably, I mean how bad could the toilet be???? OH MY!! I slowly opened the door with a screech and there it was.. The toilet bowl was filled with puke to the rim, poop drifting in the puke and pee splattered all over the cubical!!!

As I got back to Erwin he asked me what the toilet looked like, I had one word.."Hot!!"

Was it an escape after all?

I have returned from our road trip..the road which I followed to break away from all that was on my mind and all that haunts me. Life has only reminded me that you cannot run away, as all that I had or should I say whom I had been thinking of found me on our journey. Ironic? Maybe.

The past weekend has been interesting. I arrived here yesterday morning, even more caught up in my thoughts. A good friend from studies, unexpectedly phoned me, he wanted to go buy a joined gift for our good friend Zell who proudly became a father to a baby girl on the 28th of December (Once again congrats!). More on that later. We went for coffee later and spoke about life plans, goals and careers. The motivation just flowed out of him. If you are ever so lucky to meet him, you would surely understand what I mean. Definitely the next South African president.... all he needs now is a criminal record..wink wink. He made me realise that even though I feel negative towards going back to work tomorrow, registering for studies end of this month, I need to keep focus and finish what I have started, no matter how dreadful it may seem.

My heart still felt heavy this morning, up until I read deJaco's latest post. Call me a soppy romantic, but it touched a lot of the feelings that I felt. The kind of love that he described is the kind of love that we all long for and that you would be so lucky to find. So here I found myself on holiday with both the man that I almost married and the man that will never know how much I love him in the same town. It made me think of the past, the present and the what would haves. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pursuing the past, what has been lost is gone, but having them there made me think of love, what makes two people work together in unity and if it is a waste of time to long for such a thing. No there is no answer to the above questions, just personal opinion based on experience.

More on the trip itself. We finally arranged to camp in the back yard of our good friend Marie's grandfather's house. The day we got there he tragically past away. The atmosphere was gloomy and sad, but as life is, with the end of one life the next day Zell's daughter was born and the beginning of another life started. Symbolically beautiful.

The rest of the holiday was filled with fun and childishness. We battled on the beach with cheap water guns and helmets. We soon realised that salt water tastes like poop and we just started aiming for one another's mouths, forcing the person to look away and feel the wrath of the wettening. Some people found us strange enough to take pictures.

Another interesting event was the one where we met up with friends who were camping on the schools rugby field. The wind blowed at 50km/h and the sun scorched us. Of coarse this didn't stop the boys from LT. I promised Marius when we got there that he would be dancing on the park bench and indeed...3hours later. It all started out chilled and progressed into ice wars, dancing, making friends with whoever passed and jump starting the car. After getting the worst t-shirt tans ever, we went to spur for some food and ended up safely in bed by 21:00. I'm surprised that Marius didn't make it to spur as he only had one drink the entire day...Okay, okay..we kept on topping up his glass with who knows what, every time he turned his back, but he seemed so happy at the time and it got him on the park bench.

New years night we had a highly illegal, beautiful and very dangerous firework show. Everyone sat in their pre dug wholes on the beach(now referred to as war bunkers). The closer to 12 it got the more fireworks these people seemed to light. Picture 2000 people lighting illegal fireworks all at the same time for about 4 hours straight. Some even thought it funny to shoot one another. "Oh how pretty", swooooosh past your head. Our one friend Nellis also got a hold of a rocket. He thought that the stick gets released on liftoff...NO THAT'S WRONG!! You are suppose to put it in a shaft. He planted the rocket 2meters from where we were sitting, lighted it and then realised that it wasn't lifting off. Thinking of it now, the faces and the speed at which we moved, hilarious. Unfortunately Chris didn't move fast enough and is now the proud owner of a burned ass.

It was all fun, but I'm glad to be back. I really missed my own bed and I'm still struggling to ditch the flu we all picked up on the last day. As for the thoughts and the mixed feelings, I'm sure that this is going to be a great year with a lot of adventures. I'll leave what is to come to be what it should, it isn't in my hands anyway.

Installing Open Atrium and Centos

Open Source solution to Content Management System.

Q. What other solutions is there to the proprietary software like SharePoint?
A. Only two other open source solutions are feature rich enough to be set up in this way, Drupal and Joomla.

Drupal’s vanilla functionality doesn’t have all the features we needed to extend to a SharePoint solution, but the open source solution Open Atrium that is build on drupal’s core will make your site more feature rich.

Open Atrium can be found at: http://openatrium.com/ and features the following services.


Blog: A classic blog for each group that has commenting file attachments on both the post and comments and granular notifications.
Calendar: A calendar that lets you quickly add events suck in iCal and other calendar feeds and support single or multi-day events.
Group Dashboard: Mini widgets give you a snapshot of all the activity happening across your groups. Think iGoogle in that you can turn on what you want turn off what you don't and arrange it all however you'd like.
Documents: A simple online handbook that lets you collaborate on documents store and compare revisions attach files and once you're done print out the final copy.
Shoutbox: Kind of like a private twitter the shoutbox lets you share short messages links and information with just the people in your group.
Case Tracker: A full ticketing system that lets you assign to do's and create unlimited projects within each of your groups. The case tracker also lets you classify the to do give it a priority and manage its status.

For our solution we needed something that will let you assign tasks to a certain person and will also allow you to manage and upload lists. The Document and Case Tracker feature was perfect for this. Although we had basic functionality we needed a bit more control, to get this control we downloaded a module called CCK (Content Creation Kit) for drupal 6.X, it is important to note that the CCK module will ship with drupal 7.X as part of the core. More on the install a bit later. Open Atrium is unfurtunatly still in a beta phase and has a lot of silly issues, but hopefully the community will sort it out soon. If you experience white screen of death (a blank screen after installing something) it might be that your php memory limit is too low, this document will show you how to change that limit a bit later.


How To install Open Atrium on Linux (
Centos)

Centos
is a server distribution of Linux and can be found at http://www.centos.org/. The installation of Centos only took about a half hour and we had no problems. We tried setting up Drupal on Fedora Core 5 but only got problems with the enhanced security and all the user permissions, and since we wanted to install a website a server solution centos was a better choice. If you want to install Atrium on Fedora make sure to follow the online tutorial on the drupal site. Centos also come configured with php and apache which made the install process a lot easier.

Here are the
steps:
After installing Centos you will need to download the following packages.

Open Atrium: http://openatrium.com/download
CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck make sure to download the 6.x package.


After downloading open atrium, open a terminal and navigate to where the downloaded file lies. Unzip the archive using the following command

tar -zxvpf
filename.tar.gz
Where filename refers to the name of the downloaded file.

A new directory containing the files will be created. I renamed the folder name so I can access it much easier. To do this use the following command.

cp foldername newfoldername
Where folder name refers to the current name of the folder and newfoldername refers to the new folder name.


Next we need to move Open Atrium into the proper HTML directory so that it can be started and hosted from your server. To do this type the following command

mv foldername /var/www/html

Atrium and Drupal uses a configuration file for database information and other special
configurations. The default configuration file lies within your atrium directory at sites/default/default.settings.php

Navigate to your atrium base directory which now should be located at /var/www/html/
foldername
Once in this directory type the following command.

cp ./sites/default/default.settings.php ./sites/default/settings.php

You should now have two files in your sites/default directory.

Also create the folder files
which will allow us to save the files user upload. To do this type in the command

mkdir ./sites/default/files

Next we you need to grant read and write permissions and allow the right users to use the files. To do that, you need to type the following commands.

chgrp -R apache .

chown -R apache ./sites/default

chgrp -R myuser ./sites/default

chmod -R g+w sites/default

where myuser is your current username or root in my case

The last thing you to do before installing mysql is to increase your php memory limit to 32mb.
32Mb is a good limit for installing Atrium but some modules might need more memory. The default is 16mb and upon installation you will get a white screen or you will find that the installation fails.

View your php
settings file to alter the memory limitations by typing the following commands.

vi etc/php.ini

Once you are viewing the file press “i” to insert and change the file.
Scroll down (using the arrow keys) to the part that says memory_limit = 16M
And change that to 32M so it says memory_limit= 32M
After changing the memory press the “Esc” key and type then press “:” and type in “write”, after you pressed enter the change will be saved. Press the “:” key again and type in “q” and press enter.

MySql Install

To download and install mysql make sure you have a connection to the internet then as root type in the following command

yum install mysql
php mysql-server php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd

It will continue to download and install mysql. After the download and install completes type in the following command to set up a password for the root mysql account.

mysqladmin –u root password yourpasswordhere

where yourpasswordhere is where you type in your password

After you created added a bit of security we would like to create a database for atrium to function on. I called my database atriumdb but you can call it what you want.
To create a database for atrium type in the following commands.

mysqladmin –u root –p create databasename

where databasename is the name you would like to call your database. After you press enter proceed to type in your password and if successful you will be returned to the terminal/konsole screen.


Now we need to log into mysql and grant permissions to the user.

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER
, LOCK TABLES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON databasename.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

where
'databasename' is the name of your database

'username@localhost' is the username of your MySQL account

The ";" is really important don’t forget it.

MySql will reply with:
Query OK, 0 rows affected

My query looked like this:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, LOCK TABLES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON databasename.* TO root@localhost;

Activate the
privileges by typing the following command.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


Auto start your Services


The last
thing to do is to auto start your services, to do this type in the following commands.

chkconfig httpd on

chkconfig mysqld on

Running the Install Script

Now everything is set up to run the install script. To do this you can close the konsole/terminal window and open a browser. In the browser URL navigate to http://localhost/foldername/install.php, where foldername is the name you gave your atrium folder in the /var/www/html directory or if the server is on a network navigate to the appropriate address. Run the install script and choose the option to install atrium.

After the script completes you can start using your site. If something crashed during install you can reset the install script process by removing the mysql database. The following commands shows how:

mysql –u root –p

DROP
DATABASE databasename;
where databsename is the name of the given database.

quit

mysqladmin –u root –p create databasename

Adding the CCK Module

All you need to do now is to add the CCK module. Move the file to the modules directory within your atrium folder: var/www/html/atrium/modules. After moving and unzipping the file, access your website. Navigate to the administrator screen and choose the modules option. Scroll down until you see the CCK module and select all of the option you would like to have on your site. After enabling the module new features will be possible on your website. Remember if you are experiencing a blank screen or white screen of death, try upgrading your php memory limit in most cases it works.

And that's that, hope this helps :)

Issues we Experienced with Open Atrium

When creating a group remember to make the path value small caps. Open Atrium is based on Linux and case is important. You will get no help on this error, and it is really silly because why is a URL path case sensitive, but it is. Hope the community fixes it soon.

Content Types are great especially with the CCK module because it allows us to create our own fields, using these content types in Atrium is a bit more difficult you have to modify the feature to allow it to add the content type as a child to a specific module for example the books module. You can do most of these things from the the administrator module, but you don't have to finite control you sought to make really great content types, for example there is no combo box option.

The reference to a user check box is really badly designed and doesn't allow for customization. The views available looks so horrible that you rather not put it on a form. In fact referencing a user doesn't allow for anything special to happen. Unfortunately you cant integrate the user reference from CCK to case tracker so its kinda useless.
