Foto's uit militaire dienst van 1981 bij mijn OYPO webshop
Sat, Aug 16 2014, 15:59 Military, Photo PermalinkHet werd weer tijd om mijn OYPO webshop uit te breiden. De toegevoegde foto's zijn gemaakt tijdens mijn militaire diensttijd in 1981, toen ik ook nog aan modelbouw deed.
Wireless network connections in hotels and on the road
Thu, Aug 14 2014, 18:46 Mac OS X, networking PermalinkIf you ever try to be smart and add some hi-speed DNS servers to your WiFi DNS settings ... don't. I thought I was and the last months I have been wondering why I couldn't connect to wireless LANs in hotels and trains - and they didn't know either.
Today, at Hotel BB (good hotel btw) they put me in contact with their WiFi-provider and after a going through every detail, we found the reason: my manual DNS entries. Why did I put them there? Well, at home I sometimes use NameBench to find the best DNS-servers. And since Google's DNS servers are mostly the fastest, I thought it a good thing to add those two (8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4) permanently to the DNS of my WiFi connection! Which then blocked and confused the routers in the hotels I was staying or the trains on which I travelled. And I thought what a shitty stuf do these guys have... hum hum ;-)
So.... I created a separate location for when I am mobile and I called it Mobile (DHCP). I leave it totally empty so routers in hotels and trains can discuss with my Macbook Pro what is the best connection and which DNS-servers to use. Here's how in images:
and click Apply when the Mac asks you to!
Now, whenever I go out and take my MacBook Pro with me, I first choose this Mobile (DHCP) location so whatever WiFi-router I connect to, I have a good chance for internet access.

E-Mail to Evernote
Wed, Aug 13 2014, 11:41 Apple, AppleScript, Email, Mac OS X, programming, software PermalinkI fixed some other flaws in my version of the Send E-Mail to Evernote.scpt:
Update 13 aug 2014:
- I repaired a situation where there is no content-type found in the email headers. I now set it to text/plain in such a case.
Update 5 aug 2014:
- I repaired the strange time formatting (1=3=4=5 instead of 1345) when adding multiple email messages at once.
- And I added a dialog when the script has successfully finished processing for when Growl is not active.

Quickly transfer MySQL databases to a new server
Fri, Aug 08 2014, 10:36 Database, Linux, Mac OS X, MySQL, Unix PermalinkAgain I needed to transfer all data from one server to another. I knew I documented the transfer of MySQL databases somewhere (it's deep inside in the Replication-how-to) and decided to post them again here, so they're quicker to find.
One can transfer MySQL databases in various ways:
$ cd /var/mysql/ (or /var/lib/mysql/)
$ sudo zip -r ~/[database].zip [database]
Do this for each database that you want to copy. Then send all zip's per FTP to the new server.
Start an SSH session with the remote server and enter the following commands:
$ cd /var/mysql (or /var/lib/mysql/)
$ sudo unzip ~/[database].zip
$ sudo chown -R _mysql:admin [database]
For the above chown, check first with ls -l if _mysql:admin are the right owners. Then do this for each unzipped database.
Next, start Navicat and now you should see your databases in the connection of the new server. If not, you probably forgot to either do a Refresh Connection or the chown-command.
If you can access the tables and view data, good! If not, right click the table and choose Maintain->Repair Table->Quick or ->Extended and then try again.
One can transfer MySQL databases in various ways:
- Using mysqldump and zip + ftp
- Zip the database itself + ftp (you might need to repair the tables after unzipping)
- Use Navicat's Data Transfer module (not always good for tables with millions of records or blob data)
$ cd /var/mysql/ (or /var/lib/mysql/)
$ sudo zip -r ~/[database].zip [database]
Do this for each database that you want to copy. Then send all zip's per FTP to the new server.

E-Mail to Evernote
Fri, Jul 25 2014, 14:33 Apple, AppleScript, Email, Mac OS X, programming, software PermalinkI fixed a bug in the Send E-Mail to Evernote.scpt where it would crash if the HTML at some point would contain or other ISO encoded characters. You can download a new version here.
If you maintain your own changes in this script, here's the fix. Change the following lines inside the function htmlFix:
--TEST FOR / STRIP OUT LEADING SEMI-COLON
if item 1 of paraSource contains ";" then
into this:
--TEST FOR / STRIP OUT LEADING SEMI-COLON (skip stuff)
if item 1 of paraSource contains ";" and item 1 of paraSource does not contain "&" then

ProFTPD with MySQL backend
Fri, Jul 18 2014, 16:23 FTP, Linux, MySQL, server, Unix PermalinkI know there are already many pages about ProFTPD and MySQL, but all info I needed was scattered over the Internet.
Therefore I collected all info I needed and put into one page: Setup ProFTPD and MySQL.

Mijn foto van de Spookeik op de website van de Bomenstichting
Wed, Jun 04 2014, 08:58 Nature, Photo, Zutphen PermalinkBen ik vorig jaar begonnen mijn fotografie-hobby weer op te pakken en dit jaar mijn Fotoshop op te zetten om mijn foto's te verkopen voor op leuke dingen, komt vanzelf de aanvraag voor het gebruik van een mijner foto's voor een advertentie van de Bomenstichting en hebben zij mijn foto op de homepage van de Bomenstichting geplaatst! Wat een eer!
De Bomenstichting zet zich in voor het behoud van bomen in Nederland en biedt ondersteuning aan Nederlanders die ondersteuning zoeken in de 'strijd' tegen (semi-)overheden en/of buren die graag bomen willen omzagen. Bomen zijn belangrijk voor een goed klimaat en mooie, oude bomen zijn ook nog eens een lust voor het oog en alleen al daarom zou men zich drie keer moeten bedenken voordat de zaag er in gaat.
Wilt u helpen voorkomen dat overheden en gemeenten kaalslag propageren boven behoud bij nieuwe projecten of zgn. regulier onderhoud?
Wordt dan donateur van de Bomenstichting.

Dodewaard foto's uit 1980 bij mijn OYPO webshop
Mon, May 26 2014, 10:41 History, Photo PermalinkIk heb weer wat nieuwe foto's uit mijn archief aan mijn OYPO webshop toegevoegd. Deze zijn mooi donker en dreigend, gemaakt met een 400ASA zwart/wit film. De grove korrel komt mooi naar voren.
De serie is gemaakt op 19-10-1980 tijdens de demonstratie tegen de kerncentrale in Dodewaard.
