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:
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!
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.
Just having some fun with photoshop, I made a wallpaper for the Arduino lovers out there. If you have any ideas or different color you would like to have it, just leave a comment with the #code you want.
As you might already know, I am big of a LED fan, love all it’s 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 likes as much as I.
In case you would like to learn more about leds, you can visit HowStuffWorks and on Wikipedia.
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!!!
I was traveling to São Bento do Sul last weekend to work on the municipal elections, and found something very funny. There is a FIAT reseller place called FUCK, I believe that it is the owner’s last name (what a great last name to have!). Even if my last name was this, I would never have a business with this amazing name! You can check some pics and video below…
Last weekend I worked in the Brazilian Municipal Elections that happened on 5th October. My job was to transmit all votes from the city I was, to the main data center in the capital. While doinig my things, there was people testing all the machines, and I realised that there was a pinguim on the booting screen. So I made some research, and discovered that the voting machines have its own distro, running on kernel 2.6.16.57 and using some open libraries like SDL, zlib, boost, jpeg, freetype and others.
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 spoken, 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”
