Hi, I am Anh Quang Do, a 21-year-old self-taught iPhone developer and web developer. Feel free to ask me anything. Welcome to my personal blog. You will find pretty much everything I care about and want to share here. Linked posts are automatically imported from my Pinboard account. Visit this link if you want to read my original posts only. Oh, and don't forget to visit my Twitter account, Facebook profile, and my portfolio while you're at it. I have created a few iPhone apps, WordPress plugins, websites and scripts that you might find interesting. |
Couple of days ago I noticed that MAMP Pro seems to have problems with Lion: The Apache server couldn’t be started at all. Googling the problem revealed that I was certainly not alone.
I managed to track down the problem to be with the unique_id_module. Simply disable it in the control panel fixed the issue.

Alter Scheiß, aber immer wieder gut…
this is amazing!

Cool hack!
Just so you know, the first major update to my Writing Kit app is now available. It now becomes a universal app, and is free for all existing users.
Check out my blog post and get it from the App Store if you haven’t done so.
Couple of days ago I found my old Momento archive, which was exported back when it was still at version 1.x. I wrote a short Ruby script to import those entries into Day One:
require 'open3'
require 'plist'
m = Plist::parse_xml 'momento.plist'
m.each do |mm|
date = mm['Date'].to_s
text = mm['Body'].strip
Open3.popen3("/Applications/Day One.app/Contents/MacOS/dayone", "-d=\"#{date}\"", "new") do |stdin, stdout, stderr|
stdin.write(text)
stdin.close_write
puts stdout.read
end
end
This script comes with no guarantee whatsoever. Remember to back up your Day One library before attempting to execute that.
The most comically tragic “failure to effectively test restore” story I’m aware of is from one of our customers, who previously had their own home grown backup system with encrypted archive shipping offsite, monthly test restores, and so on.
It was only after a total failure that they realized the gpg keys to decrypt the backup were only contained in the backup. Their test restores before were happily using keys from the user’s home directory.
This is one of the many reasons it makes sense to have a company that specializes in backups help you with backups. :)
