A couple of days ago, someone asked me whether the Gmail website was any good on mobile. I said: it seems so, the couple of times I've used it, but I'm not really sure. I'll find out, I said.
You'd think I'd know better by now.
once more into the breach, dear enemiesThe way to actually find out whether it's any good, with the gmail web app as with all things, is to use it for real for a bit. So I decided that what I'd do is exclusively use the web app to read my mail on my phone for a week.
There are two base criteria here which must be met. First: I have to be able to get at gmail from an icon on my iPhone's home screen, and second I have to get notifications when I get a new mail. Those two things are axioms, here: if they're not possible, then my answer is "the gmail web app is crap" because I can't use it. The easy bit first.
the easy bitGo to gmail.com in the browser: press the share button, press "add to home screen". Done.
notifications for a new emailWeb apps have a notification API, but it's not useful on mobiles, because the whole point of a new mail notification is that you get it even if you're not looking at your mail app. You wouldn't want to keep the gmail web page open all the time, even if you were allowed to do so on a phone, which you are not. (The Nokia N9 allowed this. No-one else does; mobile platforms routinely decide to quietly kill your app and then raise it from the dead again when you want it back, and while it's dead it's not notifying anybody of anything, because it's dead). So, we need a way for me to get a notification that I have a new email. This requires some sort of native app on the phone, fine, OK, but I didn't want to have to write a native app to do it; someone must have written an app which can handle notifications and then open up gmail in the web browser. And indeed it is so: on the iPhone there's Boxcar and Prowl. (I assume there are similar for Android.) Prowl costs money, so I looked at Boxcar first. Boxcar does, indeed, allow you to have it get notifications when you get a new email and then do some sort of user-specified activity when a notification comes in, hooray! (It does this by giving you a magic email address: you tell gmail to forward all your mail to that email address, and when it gets an email, it sends your phone a notification and then deletes the email. This requires trusting the Boxcar people, I agree, but the purpose of this exercise was to see if this could be done at all. If you want security, run your own webmail server, or your own server which monitors gmail and then send the notifications yourself, that's fine; Boxcar can help with that too via their API.)
the easy bit… is never that easySo, at this point, when I get an email, Boxcar shows a notification: I press the notification, and it opens my configured URL, which is gmail.com. This is great and I should be done by now, except…Boxcar opens my chosen address in a little in-built web view rather than my browser. Lots of iPhone apps do this — build in a webview rather than using the browser — and it really, really irritates me. There is no option to say "open this in the browser, damn you!" Grr.
But, after some poking around, I notice that the Boxcar changelog says "NEW: Add ability to open custom safari:// URLs in MobileSafari." Aha! That sounds like what I want. So… I configure my custom URL to be safari://mail.google.com, right?
That doesn't work. Nor does safari://http://mail.google.com, or any other combination I could think of. There is no documentation other than the above changelog line. Frustrated.
Then I thought: well, it doesn't have to be Safari, per se. I have Google Chrome on the phone too. Maybe I can use that. The iPhone is set up so that apps routinely register custom URL schemes: it's how they communicate. Is there, wondered I, some sort of custom URL scheme that I can use to force an https link to open in Chrome rather than Safari?
Indeed there is. Well done Chrome people. If I open googlechromes://mail.google.com it opens https://mail.google.com in Chrome. Yay! So I configure that as my link in Boxcar. Now when I get an email, I touch the notification, and gmail opens in Chrome! Hooray! We're done!
We're not done. Now, you see, my home screen link opens in Safari, and my Boxcar link opens in Chrome. That's annoying and wrong. So, how do I edit the home screen link to be to googlechromes://mail.google.com?
You can't. You can't edit a home screen bookmark once it's created. Bah. So, how do I make Chrome bookmark something to the home screen?
You can't. Only Safari can do that, because it's allowed the magic secret APIs and no-one else is.
So how do I put a Chrome bookmark on my home screen? Well, one way would be to have an HTML file which meta refreshes to the googlechromes: URL, and bookmark the HTML file in Safari. That way, I'll press the home screen icon, that'll start Safari, Safari will instantly start Chrome, and I'll have a bookmark. Slightly inelegant, but not too bad.
I stuck the HTML page on my site, and tried it. Minor problem: the page refreshes before I can bookmark it! So, remove the meta refresh, open the page in Safari, bookmark it, put the meta refresh back in again. Ha! That works. (And add a nice home screen icon with <link rel="apple-touch-icon">.
New problem. Every time I hit the home screen bookmark, or the link from Boxcar, we open a new tab in Chrome with gmail in it. After ten minutes of testing this, I've got fifteen gmail tabs in Chrome. That's no good. The Chrome links doc dictates how to explicitly say "I want a new tab", but not how to say "I don't want a new tab: reuse the previous one". After a bit more poking around, though, you can use an x-callback-url-style URL with Chrome, and that lets you specify a source. So, instead of making my bookmark and my Boxcar URL be googlechromes://mail.google.com, I'll make it be googlechrome-x-callback://x-callback-url/open/?x-source=boxcar&&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com. That way, when you open that link a second time, it stays in the same tab as the first time! Hooray!
It's not perfect. I can't get Boxcar links and the home screen link to share a tab between them, so I end up with two Gmail tabs in Chrome. That's annoying but not a total crisis. And this is now clean enough that I can stand to use it for a week. Now I get to actually try using the Gmail web app for a week and see what it's like!
how annoying is the iPhone?This all seems like a great big faff to me. Is that all the iPhone's fault? Well… certainly some of it is. All that crap with Safari being the only thing that can bookmark to the home screen? You can't add home screen bookmarks that aren't to real URLs? Sure, these things are fairly technical, but they don't seem like they'd get in anyone's way if they did exist. Apparently in older versions of iOS you could bookmark (via a roundabout data URL procedure) weird URLs such as pref:something to open a Settings page directly, and Apple took that away. So that's annoying.
But in general, I think that the approach of having a server monitor my email and then use the platform's push notification service to tell me about it and open the webmail client…seems like a good approach. Android does seem to have a couple of IMAP notify apps in the Play Store, but they aren't reviewed very well, and I don't really want my phone to hang on an IMAP IDLE socket 24 hours a day. Avoiding that is precisely what push notifications (Google's "Cloud to Device Messaging") were invented for. (Note: there are lots of mail notification apps, but they poll. I don't want polling. When I get an email, I want a notification. Not five minutes later.)
So, then… is this doable on Android? Is there an app like Boxcar where there's a server component which can (somehow) monitor my gmail account and notify my Android phone, and then pressing the notification on my Android phone will open up https://mail.google.com in the phone's browser? I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this, Android-using readers.
What about other platforms? How will Firefox OS handle this? (Maybe because they're all web, they'll just keep the web page open without ever suspending it, and let it use the web notification API?) I'd like to hear about other approaches. (I don't want to hear "just use the native app". Of course that's the logical thing to do. The point here is to see whether I can set up my life so using a web app for email on my phone is a doable thing. If your answer is "you need to use the native app", then I'll take that as you saying "you can't use web apps for this; you have to go native". That's a perfectly reasonable argument, but this post is not directed at you if that's how you feel.)
Fun little project of gluing together technical bits, I must say. Constraints are the mother of inventiveness!
The Google Summer of Code is a program that allows post-secondary students aged 18 and older to earn a stipend writing code for Free and Open Source Software projects during the summer.
For the eighth time, Debian has just been accepted as a mentoring organization for this year's program.
If you're an eligible student,
now is the time to take a look at our project ideas list,
engage with the mentors for the projects you find interesting, and start working on
your application!
Please read the FAQ
and the Program Timeline
on Google's website.
If you are interested, we encourage you to come and chat with us on irc (#debian-soc on irc.oftc.net), or to send an email to the SoC coordination mailing-list. Most of the GSoC related information in Debian can be found on our wiki pages, but feel free to ask us directly on irc or via email.
We're looking forward to work with amazing students again this summer!
So there I was last week at my parents' house, and my dad said: I am thinking of getting Netflix.
"Oh?", says I. "What brought this on?"
Questions like that end up turning into long discussions, and this was no exception. Those of you with the attention span of a four-year-old will find a summary at the bottom of the post.
He explained (in response to my question) that he likes the idea of watching films and it's probably easier and probably cheaper and probably less hassle to do that in your own living room rather than the cinema, especially since the nearest cinema to him is probably 15 miles away. I pointed out that the available films will lag behind the cinema releases (so if you see an ad for, say, Star Trek Into Darkness 1 on the side of a bus, you can't watch it in your living room now) but that they lag behind a consistent amount (so all the films that hit the cinema 12 months ago 2 arrive online at now, roughly, so all the films which were contemporarily released with one another are still contemporary with one another), and that there are multiple different providers of this sort of thing (Netflix, Lovefilm, Now TV). And I pointed out 3 that this would be a bit of a problem technically, because the computer plugged into the big TV in the living room runs Ubuntu, and you can't watch commercial streaming video on Ubuntu 4 because it all requires MS PlayReady DRM 5 and there's no Ubuntu implementation of that, and so this meant that we'd need to install Windows on that TV computer instead. 6
so, like, wassitallabout?"How does it work?", says my dad. "Well," said I, settling into the chair and adopting a wise look, "you pay a monthly subscription, and then pick any film you want and watch it whenever you want for free, beyond the subscription. I think if you watch the very latest films then they might charge an extra cost because it's a really recent film, but you're already waiting 12 months before it hits Netflix at all; you might as well just set your clock to 18 months behind and watch a film once it hits non-pay-per-view." A nod from Dad. "Oh, and I think occasionally there might be a film that Netflix doesn't have: sometimes there are little wars between them and, say, Amazon or Lovefilm 7 or Hulu or whatever, and a film is a 'Netflix exclusive' or something." 8
"We should check that," says my dad, a man for whom "films I want to watch" has hitherto been Zulu and The Great Escape, but he's right 9. Now we pause here for twenty minutes while, with increasing disbelief and shrillness, I discover that Netflix don't provide a browseable list of their films. They don't. That's insane. Also: you know how shops that don't display their prices are doing so because it's all stupidly expensive? Anyone who doesn't display a list of their products is doing so because that list is a lot shorter and less comprehensive than you think it will be. So we poke around some more (I was honestly, properly shocked by the absence of a list) and find a website that searches Netflix and gives you a link. Commence another twenty minute block of disbelief during which my dad names film after film after film he wants to watch, or wouldn't mind watching, or has always meant to watch… and we find, I think, three. These weren't all new films, weren't all obscure films, weren't all old films: there was a good mix. And hardly any of them were there.
and the rat was nowhere at allFurther research establishes that the rivals — Lovefilm, Now TV, Blinkbox — are the same. I was under the impression that every one of these online movie places had basically every film you've ever heard of, and they compete on pricing, or access to the very latest films. It is not like that. 10 Instead, Netflix and Lovefilm and Now TV have basically no films for streaming and then every now and again they might have one. That is: I thought that the model was "think on the bus of a film you fancy watching, then go home and find it on Netflix and watch it", and the model is totally not that. Instead, the model is "decide you want to watch a film, and set aside two hours for film-watchy time, and then go to Netflix and choose a film from their list of films". Or, in practice, from the subset of their list of films that you actually want to watch. That's not necessarily a bad model — I'm sure new films come into Netflix's list faster than you can watch them, and you could probably get quite a long way by just looking at their list and finding all the stuff on it that you like the look of — but I totally misunderstood (and so did Dad). I thought that Netflix were like Spotify but for films, and they really ain't. 11
father, I shall bring you only the finest blank tv screensAt this point he said, well, that's crap then. I suppose I ought to go to the cinema.
I said: well, if you have to do the just-choose-off-the-list thing anyway, then why not just use a service who don't charge a monthly subscription? What I mean is: do it all pay-per-view. So then you're not paying when you're not using it, and on any given day you can just do a search and see if there's anything you fancy watching (and paying for), and if there isn't, get in the car and go to the cinema instead. Best of both worlds. I'm sure that if you watched ten films a week that Netflix would be cheaper, but I don't think that you're gonna do that, daddy dearest.
OK, says daddy dearest. So, we do that, and put Windows on the computer, right?
Yep, I said. None of this stuff works on Ubuntu. Amazon Instant Video works fine, and does exactly what you want, but (check briefly on internet to confirm; briefly bitch on reddit about this; go back to dad) it's US only. Soz.
the sacred art of stealingWe then have a little discussion about BitTorrent and theft of movies, during which I basically say: it is not the solution for you. First, it is really awkward and annoying. Popup ads, hundreds of different websites, being able to tell the difference between a "download the torrent" link which is real and one which is put there by an advert. Torrent sites are blocked by ISPs in the UK. Yes, gentle reader, stop sniggering at how this blocking approach is useless. Tt's not meant to stop you, you filthy techie pirate: it's meant to be a speed bump which makes it difficult for the unwashed masses to do this, to keep people like my dad out of the torrent gutter and in paid-for shiny Netflix territory… and it works.
I specifically recommended to dad that he not think about dealing with this stuff through theft, because theft is hard. Try it, next time you steal a movie: look at what you're doing with the eyes of an inexperienced person. A person who doesn't have Adblock Plus, who isn't able to read through a list of search results and identify which ones "look legit" and which look like spam, who isn't able to tell which links on a site are real and which download an exe. Theft is hard, and frankly it's fairly close to not being worth the pain. It's fairly close to it being easier to just pay the money. And that's all the movie people want. They don't want to make it impossible, they don't want to studiously ignore that DRM doesn't work, that blocking doesn't work, that they can't shut down every Pirate Bay proxy… all they have to do is make most people think "blimey, it'd be easier to pay the money than do this". To me it feels like that's now fairly close to being the case unless you're a super techie (like most of the people reading this).
Also, y'know, stealing.
Also also: mkv. avi. srt. Do you really want to care about this stuff? Learn what a "BRRIP" is? Learn whether the thing you've got has Italian audio rather than English? Is "Incepcja - Inception DVDRip.XviD AC3 - ENG / Lektor PL" OK to download? 12 Srsly, hassle. Avoid.
say that my glory was I had such friendsWhile explaining BitTorrent and why it's not all it's cracked up to be, a couple of very helpful people saw and commented on my Reddit post complaining about this stuff. Google Play, they said… that's in the UK. Single-purchase pay-per-view videos, no subscription required. Dad's got an Android phone so he's already got a Play account… and Play Video works in Ubuntu?
It does, it turns out.
I was quite surprised by this.
he saved every one of usYou have to install hal to make Google Play work in Ubuntu 13: to do this, search for hal in Ubuntu Software Centre and then install it ("Hardware Abstraction Layer") 14. This is the same thing that Amazon Instant Video in the US needs. It's using Adobe's Flash DRM stuff. This is good for us, we happy few, we Ubuntu users, because we have Flash. We do not have the PlayReady DRM which is in Silverlight 15, and which the movie studios are pressuring online video people to switch to — that's why Netflix doesn't work in Ubuntu, that's why Lovefilm no longer works, why Now TV doesn't work. Google Play, on the other hand, works fine. Dad likes the pay-just-when-you-watch-a-film model, and it works on his existing computer with his existing accounts; he didn't even have to sign up for anything. Just click and he's bought a film and can watch it. Right there in the web browser. No app required at all.
It was literally that simple.
People on other platforms, who are not only used to the idea that it's that simple, but have hardly any concept that it might not be simple, are laughing themselves sick right now at me being so childishly, pathetically pleased by this. I personally am thinking: good work, Google Play. You made that easy.
The film that Dad chose to watch… was Twilight. Twilight. You're not my real dad, dad.
dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his bodyThis is worrying. (Not the Twilight thing.) Flash still exists on Ubuntu, but Adobe have stopped making it. The DRM parts of it are already dependent on hal, which is basically deprecated: Adobe built the Flash DRM stuff into Flash and on Linux when hal was the thing, and since then hal has stopped being the thing, but Adobe didn't update Flash to work with the replacement… and right at the moment it doesn't look like they will at all, because they've stopped doing Flash for Linux. This means that at some point it will stop working. At the moment it is possible to legitimately, legally, happily, easily watch a Hollywood film on a stock, standard Ubuntu machine. Google Play can do it in at least the US and the UK; Amazon Instant Video can do it in the US. If Flash stops working, that goes away.
And HTML5 will not save us. It will not. They're talking about putting DRM into HTML5 video right now, but either they won't do it (and then there won't be any commercial videos in HTML5, just like there aren't now) or they will do it and they'll likely pick a DRM scheme which is not implemented on Ubuntu and won't be (highly likely to be something like PlayReady, because the whole industry is already familiar with it). A move away from Flash and towards anything else makes life measurably worse for Ubuntu users, because we have Flash, and don't have anything else.
fight the work per unit timeBut you're missing the point, man! We must fight DRM! It doesn't work and it's evil and useless!
I agree with all that. But that's a long-term fight. And no-one has yet convinced me that there is a way to do it without selling the whole world on the idea that they should just Stop Watching Movies until the DRM goes away. And we, the DRM-haters, have had little to no success convincing people to make that sacrifice.
The music industry is not a good guide here. What happened in music was that all the players fought one another with different DRM schemes, no cooperation, to try and beat out their rivals. And while they were doing that, Apple came along and built something which was slick and easy to use and had Apple-specific DRM in it and dominated the market. Then the music industry said: it is our music, you have to play by our rules… and Apple said: no we don't. We really don't. What are you going to do, music people? Go and sell WMAs? Not likely. Everyone's got an iPod now. And Apple were right… and because everyone wanted to sell music to iPod owners and didn't want to do it through Apple's sales channel, they had to go DRM-free. Because that's all that iPods would play. You could see this as a great victory for consumer power, if you squint a bit.
The movie people, though (and this is an important point) are not stupid. They have seen what happened to the music industry, have seen that it ended up with all viable saleable music being DRM-free, and have said: that's not gonna happen to us. They are not going to fight and bicker amongst themselves while Apple builds a royal road to all the money. They are not going to knife one another. They're going to get together, swallow their pride a bit, and cooperate because they recognise that one DRM system that everyone compromises a bit on is better than a million and the eventual arrival of DRM-free videos. And so they did cooperate: that's what Ultraviolet is. And it does not matter that Ultraviolet hasn't taken off yet: it does not matter that it is not a viable competitor to Netflix. The point is that it exists. The movie people will not be forced into offering DRM-free movies because they didn't cooperate until it was too late. They have seen the mistakes the music industry made, and won't get caught the same way.
Let's talk about how, in the long term, the studios can be convinced to not use DRM: that's a good conversation to have. But it's hard to see how to do that now without telling my dad that he can't watch Twilight on Ubuntu even if he wants to.
whatabouteryOne of the things about this whole topic of movies and DRM and Ubuntu and stuff is that every sentence comes larded with a million caveats, oh-but-what-abouts, roads-not-taken, sidebars, and other ancilliary things. If you manage to find something where I said "and therefore X" and didn't mention that Y and Z also exist as possibilities, do not assume that it is because I do not know about Y and Z. But tell me about them!
tl; drSummary: Google Play video works on stock Ubuntu, in your browser, and exists here in England. It is, as far as I am aware, the only legitimate, unhacky 16 way to watch a streamed Hollywood film on a standard Ubuntu laptop in England. I like it. So does my dad.
I've been reading with great interest the blog posts from Michael Hall highlighting all the activity in the Ubuntu Touch developer community. It's exciting to see people have started poking at our fledgling SDK and have already created some cool applications. Likewise, internally at Canonical developers are working hard on the infrastructure, platform and SDK to make it easy, fun and robust to create applications for Ubuntu Touch.
We're keen to keep lines of communication between the developer community and platform developers wide open, while allowing everyone to get on with their work. From the Canonical side we'll shortly be publishing more details of our plans for the platform so developers have a better understanding of our roadmap and can set their own expectations accordingly.
On the flip-side we're also keen to get feedback from developers. We've scheduled regular check-up meetings with developers of the Core Apps which are listed on the wiki. Everyone is welcome to attend and join in, but the primary goal of each is to allow us to help Core Apps developers.
It's great to see that new contributors, hackers and people just having a play with Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview are coming to #ubuntu-touch at all hours of the day and night to get and give help and discuss what they're doing.
We have noticed though that sometimes people aren't getting answers to their questions, usually because they ask when many core contributors are asleep or just busy doing other things. This is the nature of IRC, and we're not looking to force people to only come to the channel at certain times.
We do though want to improve our communication by having a specific time when developers and other experts will actually be around, and if we can't get an answer immediately, make a note of it so we can get back to people later.
So every Wednesday we're also holding a regular open "Ubuntu Touch Weekly Clinic" in #ubuntu-touch on freenode IRC at 13:00 UTC. Feel free to ping myself (popey) or Michael Hall (mhall119) on IRC to get our attention
We picked a time when it seems most core contributors are available, covering European afternoon and American morning. Everyone is of course welcome at any time in the channel, this gives us a focal point for our users. This isn't a formal "Q&A" like the Ubuntu On Air sessions, but simply an accessible-for-most slot when we can guarantee people will be around.
So come along on Wednesday to the "Ubuntu Touch Weekly Clinic" in #ubuntu-touch on freenode IRC at 13:00 UTC

TweetWhilst going over my MOT certificates last night, I noticed they include odometer readings. Time for some chart pr0n!
I acquired this car at the start of 2007. It seems my average mileage per year has been pretty constant, even without consciously trying to hit a certain point. The only dip was in 2008-2009, when coincidentally I also achieved Carte Blanche status on the Eurostar.
I suspect this year will be significantly lower, given:
I suppose I should do the sums and work out the cost per mile for maintaining a car, and see whether it makes economic sense to keep it. Maybe it will give me an excuse to get a Brompton?
A couple of years ago my good friends Chris and Heidi set up their own theatre company, Boffo Theatre. As well as their own productions, they also run acting and musical classes for young people.
A few months ago I spent a hectic Saturday photographing the three members of Boffo, Chris, Heidi and Carly, as they taught their classes. They certainly work hard but all their students seemed to have a great time.
Afterwards we spent some time making new headshots for the Boffo crew and then we got to have some fun, coming up with new images for them to use in their marketing materials. It was great to have the time to experiment and be creative. Having access to an entire theatre including a well-stocked wardrobe helped too! A handful of the photos accompany this blog post.
So if you are looking for acting and musical classes for young people in the Kent area, check out the Boffo website or Facebook group.

Feel free to bring your Linux problems and issues down for the experts to take
a look at (laptops only, of course).
If you're new to Linux and want a little hand-holding, do come along, or if
you just fancy a bit of geeky chat there's always lively debate on a range of
geek and non-geek subjects.
The GNOME Foundation started the Free & Open Source Software Outreach Program for Women, OPW, in 2010. In the January-April 2013 round, many other FOSS organizations joined the program. We are happy to announce that Debian will also join in the next round from June-September and we'll offer one internship.
You can find more details about Debian's participation in the program at Debian OPW page.
Call for mentors and projectsOPW allows applicants to work on any kind of project, including coding, design, marketing, web development... The Debian Google Summer of Code projects will be offered also as possible projects for OPW, but GSoC only allows coding projects. If you have any idea of a non-coding project and you want to mentor it, please contact us in the soc-coordination mailing list adding [OPW] in subject.
OPW works in the same way as GSoC except Google doesn't play a part here. The same advice that is provided for GSoC mentors works for OPW mentors.
Call for participantsThe main goal of this program is to increase the number of women in FOSS, so all women who are not yet a Debian Developer or a Debian Maintainer are encouraged to apply. There are no age restrictions and applicants don't need to be a student.
If you want to apply, you must follow three steps:
Choose a project from this list. There are two lists, one for GSoC and another with non-coding tasks that can be only offered by the OPW. Those lists may change and add or remove more projects in the next few weeks.
Make a small contribution to Debian. Projects will add a task the applicant must complete as part of the pre-selection process. If no task is provided, you are welcome to ask the mentors of the project. You can also make a different extra task of the one listed to show your skills and interest.
Create a page in the Debian wiki with your application. You can do so under pseudonym, but in that case, please give us information about yourself privately by email to the coordinators listed in the Debian OPW page!
Just a quick note: I will be on vacation this week in Australia. I will be checking in with work and email, but this will be more limited throughout the week.
Look forward to seeing everyone in a week! Lots of exciting things to focus on when I get back.
We are pleased to announce the 15th annual Debian Conference (DebConf14) is to be held in Portland, Oregon, USA in August 2014, with specific dates yet to be announced.
Portland is an open source hotspot in the Pacific Northwest of the US. It is a technologically savvy community, home to Intel and the adopted home of Linus Torvalds. The city plays host to many Free Software conferences including OSCON, and is where Linux Plumbers originated.
The local team has been involved in mulitple DebConfs in the past, and is excited to bring their experience and ideas to fruition in a city well-positioned to host such a prestigious event.
Foreman integrates with a bunch of systems such as DNS (BIND, AD), DHCP (ISC) and Puppet when systems get created and destroyed. It does most of this via its smart proxy architecture, where an agent (the proxy) is deployed on your other servers which gets called from your central Foreman host during "orchestration".
Most production setups are a bit more complex though with other systems we don't integrate with in Foreman, so the plugin support in version 1.1 is there to extend Foreman's capabilities. Since this means learning some Ruby and Rails, I've released foreman_hooks so admins can instead write simple shell scripts to hook straight into Foreman's orchestration feature.
I'm going to walk through a example hook to run a PuppetDB command to clean up stored data (facts, resources) when hosts are deleted in Foreman. First we'll install the plugin by adding this config file:
# echo "gem 'foreman_hooks'" > ~foreman/bundler.d/foreman_hooks.rb And then run this to install and restart Foreman: # cd ~foreman && bundle update Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/ ... Installing foreman_hooks (0.3.1) # touch ~foreman/tmp/restart.txt(Debian users will need to do: sudo -u foreman bundle update instead, due to packaging differences.)
Next, we'll create a hook script that runs when a managed host is destroyed in Foreman:
# mkdir -p ~foreman/config/hooks/host/destroy # cat << EOF > ~foreman/config/hooks/host/destroy/70_deactivate_puppetdb #!/bin/bash # We can only deactivate data in PuppetDB, not add it [ "x$1" = xdestroy ] || exit 0 # Remove data in PuppetDB, supplying the FQDN # # assumes sudo rules set up as this runs as 'foreman': # foreman ALL = NOPASSWD : /usr/bin/puppet node deactivate * # Defaults:foreman !requiretty # sudo puppet node deactivate $2 EOF # chmod +x ~foreman/config/hooks/host/destroy/70_deactivate_puppetdb(on Foreman 1.2, change "host" in the path to "host/managed")
There are a few things here to note. The path we're creating under config/hooks/ refers to the Foreman object and event (see the README). For hosts we can use "create", "update" and "destroy" to extend the orchestration process and there similar events for every other object in Foreman. The 70 prefix influences the ordering with other tasks, see grep -r priority ~foreman/app/models/orchestration for more.
The script gets two arguments, the first is the event name ("destroy" etc) and very importantly for orchestration events, this can change. If an orchestration task fails, the process will get rolled back so the script will then be called with the opposite event to the one it was first called with. For example, a hook in the create/ directory will first be called with "create", then a later task may fail and it will be called again with "destroy" to revert the change. Orchestration of DNS records etc in Foreman works in the same way. Since this example is only able to remove data and not add it, the first line checks the argument and exits if it isn't asked to destroy. Other scripts should take note of value of this argument.
The second argument is the string representation of the object, i.e. the FQDN for host objects. On stdin, we receive a full JSON representation which gives access to other attributes. There are helpers in hook_functions.sh to access this data, see examples/ to get a copy.
Lastly in this example, we run the PuppetDB command to remove the data. The exit code of orchestration hooks is important here. If the exit code is non-zero, this will be treated as a failure so Foreman will cancel the operation and roll back other tasks that were already completed.
Now when the host gets deleted from either the Foreman UI or the API, the host gets deactivated in PuppetDB: # puppet node status test.fm.example.net test.fm.example.net Deactivated at 2013-04-07T13:39:59.574Z Last catalog: 2013-04-07T11:56:40.551Z Last facts: 2013-04-07T13:39:30.114Z There's a decent amount of logging, so you can grep for the word "hook" in the log file to find it. You can increase the verbosity with config.log_level in ~foreman/config/environments/production.rb. # grep -i hook /var/log/foreman/production.log Queuing hook 70_deactivate_puppetdb for Host#destroy at priority 70 Running hook: /usr/share/foreman/config/hooks/host/destroy/70_deactivate_puppetdb destroy test.fm.example.net
One area I intend on improving is being able to interact with Foreman from within the hook script. At the moment, I'd suggest using the foremanBuddy command line tool from within your script - though you shouldn't edit the object from within the hook, unless you're using the after_create/after_save events.
I hope this sets off your imagination to consider which systems you could now integrate Foreman into, without needing to start with a full plugin. Maybe we could begin collecting the most useful hooks in the community-templates repo or on the wiki.
(PuppetDB users should actually use Daniel's dedicated puppetdb_foreman plugin. I hope development of dedicated plugins down the line will happen as a natural extension.)
I look after a bunch of servers, working for Bytemark that is not a surprise, but I only touch a very small number of desktop systems.
This is the machine upon which I develop, check my personal mail, play my music & etc.
To keep the working from home separation going I have a machine I only use for work purposes.
I have two EEPC machines, a personal 701 and a work-provided 901.
Honestly these rarely get used. One is for when I'm on holiday or traveling, the second for when I'm on-call.
Yesterday I got round to upgrading both the toy EEPC machines to wheezy. The good news? Both of them upgraded/reinstalled easily. Hardware was all detected, sleeping, hibernation, wifi, etc all "just worked".
Unfortunately I am now running GNOME 3.x and the experience is unpleasant. This is a shame, because I've enjoyed GNOME 2.x & bluetile for the past few years.
The only other concern is that pwsafe appears to be scheduled for removal from Debian GNU/Linux - the list of open bugs shows some cause, but there are bugs there that are trivial to fix.
For the moment I've rebuilt the package and if I cannot find a suitable alternative - available for squeeze and wheezy - then I will host the package on my package repository.
In conclusion: Debian, you did good. GNOME, I've loved and appreciated you for years, but you might not be the desktop I want these days. It's not you, it's me.

I-40 Westbound near Biscoe to be Closed for Three Hours Wednesday Morning
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: March 20, 2013
That's according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) officials.
The AHTD says that this morning a tractor-trailer overturned and spilled grain onto the interstate.
While the grain has been removed, additional clean-up will be necessary along the shoulder and nearby slope.
The work will require both westbound lanes of Interstate 40 to be closed between the 203 and 202 mile markers, near Biscoe.
The closure will be in effect between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
Traffic will be detoured at Exit 202 at Biscoe, where travelers will be routed to U.S. Highway 70.
Drivers are urged to be extra careful when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones.

Good day for me!
Som 3 -same (Odeon 1969)
Great bossa-soul lp. Worth it for a lot more than just "Homenagem a Mongo". -edit- I'm crazy about this record. I would do volunteer humanitarian work to have seen them live.
Menescal -Soul Beat Brazil (Kapp)
More nice bossa. Lots of flute and vibes, nice drums.
Caymmi and the Girls From Bahia -Dorival Caymmi (WB)
Popular stuff, but nice.
Claus Ogerman -Latin Rock (RCA)
It's not WATUSI TRUMPETS, but it's still pretty darn good.
Miltinho and the Oscar Castro Neves Orchestra -The Rhythm and the Sound of Bossa Nova (Audio Fidelity 1963)
Makes me want to throw a party. And I hate parties. But I don't mind -much- feeling like I want to have one.
Lambert & Nuttycombe -At Home (A&M 1970)
Simon & Garfunkelesque duo with more haunting guitar figures and a quieter feel, and without Paul Simon's pseudobohemian short-man hokum. A record I'm certain figures prominently in the record collections of Kings of Convenience. I can't stop listening to it.
John Fahey and His Orchestra -Of Rivers and Religion (Reprise 1972)
I have decided to love this record, though I have yet to hear it. -edit- Holy Lincoln! This is a work of genius, this is Van Dyke Parks dreaming on acid of doing it right.
Dmitri Tiomkin -Rhapsody of Steel (United States Steel 1959)
Famous cold-war oddity. Bought it because I've become nostalgic for the Cold War. All I want to do is sit in the bathtub reading John Le Carre, with music like this playing in the background, a cigarette and martini within easy reach.
I also bought two Tom Jobim lps and Elis 72.
I also bought some records that turned out to be shitty. Fuckers.

The smart money seems to be split over whether the defensive or cyclical sectors will drive the stock market during the second half of 2012. But one thing is clear — companies that cater to U.S. consumers will lead the charge.
"Investors are insulating themselves from the problems in the rest of the world by owning parts of US-based companies that do business in the states." says Joe Zidle, portfolio strategist for Richard Bernstein Advisors in New York. "Everyone loves to trash the U.S., but contrary to popular belief we are further along in our recovery than the rest of the world. Relative to our asset allocation benchmark, we are massively overweight in the U.S. right now."
Scott Wren, senior equity strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors, agrees domestic stocks will benefit over the next few quarters from growing consumer confidence in the U.S. economy, and worries over the eurozone debt crisis.
"In this type of global environment, our modest growth and modest inflation economy looks pretty good," he says. "Our domestic growth is viewed as dependable, something you can count on. Given that, I believe the U.S. has become the safe-haven equity market for global investors, much like our Treasury market has always been."
It's less clear, however, which sectors present the greatest opportunities for growth.

There are two problems:
1. Technical issues - the live streaming has the OSD in an encrypted partition and it would be difficult (but not impossible) to get it out
2. Safety issues - the live streaming deletes its online services keys if it boots with a non-original firmware. This is a deliberate attempt by WD to stop homebrew on its devices. Due to this the current team does not intend to port wdlxtv to the new devices - because flashing wdlxtv would cripple your player.
I am sure people who are motivated enough will try to do it anyway, and I am sure some may succeed. But those releases (even if they are based on wdlxtv), will not be supported by the current wdlxtv team.
Sorry about this, but it's WD's choice. My advice for people wanting to buy a media player and interested in the features of wdlxtv is to either buy an older/refurbished live/plus or to ask b-rad for advice on what hardware they can get (I am sure he can recommend something worthwhile).

Geocaching: The Grown-Up Version of Hunting for Eggs
Give the Easter Bunny a hand.
The Easter Bunny is known for cleverly hiding eggs for children to find, but he's not alone in his ability to conceal treasures in almost plain sight.
Geocaching is a year-round opportunity for people to participate in a grown-up version of hunting for eggs.
Geocaching takes hide and seek to greater heights through GPS technology and clues provided in the quest to find the cache. It also expands treasure hunting to a larger geographic scale.
Essentially, this involves someone hiding a cache and providing clues for others to find it. Anyone can hide a cache, which is another name for whatever the "treasure" might be. The clues to discover where the cache is can be either written down or given by longitude and latitude with Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The people who look for caches are known as geocachers.
Currently, there are geocaches all across the globe. Websites such as www.geocaching.com list active caches, which recently numbered almost 2 million, and approximates the number of geocachers at over 5 million.
In addition to websites, there are mobile apps for Android and Apple devices to make it easier to pursue discovery of caches while you are on the move.
Caches are kept in outdoor locations. Small caches are concealed in waterproof containers and usually have an accompanying logbook, where you enter your information. Logbooks can be physical or digital.
Large caches have the same sort of thing as in small ones plus a trading option. If you find one, you can take an item and replace it with something of your own. When geocachers find a cache, they sign and date the logbook. Some use their real names; others have code names.
The Fairfax County Park Authority provides a list of parks where geocaching is allowed and a form for requesting permission to geocache at other county parks.
Geocachers enjoyed a record-setting day this year on February 29, Leap Day. Nearly 84,000 caches were logged online. Geocaches in the United States include both public and copyrighted information. The cache coordinates are in the public domain. The description of and what's in the cache are copyrighted. Important considerations for geocaches on public land, such as park land or public buildings, are to avoid negative impacts on nature and potential distress to the public.
So this Sunday after you've successfully found all the eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny, do a bit of geotrekking for some prime geoswag. Remember to abide by the cornerstone tenant "cache in, trash out" or CITO.

Lydia: This article reads beautifully like an entry in Wikipedia. Fantastic job with the descriptions of geocaching. I had no idea this activity existed. I wonder if there is a version for school-age children? I think it would provide excellent mathematical and scientific benefits to children. Thanks again for shedding light on this fascinating topic.

You're welcome. Yes, there are geocaching options for children. Both Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops participate in geotreks. I believe I've seen opportunities listed in local parks and rec events as well. Children can accompany you on a geotrek of your own. Bring along older friends and relatives as well to enjoy a great inter generational activity.

What a treat to wake up and find an article about geocaching at the top of today's Burke Patch news in my e-mail box! I've only been geocaching once around here (one of my BookCrossing friends introduced me to it), but it was fun!

Geocaching is a great family activity and way to enjoy the outdoors, the local wildlife, get some exercise and learn some tricks of navigation! We are local geocachers (TeamRJJO and now CA) and there are many local caches for preschool and school age children in this area (some of them are even ours!). Last I checked, there were about 15-20 caches around the lake loop trail at Burke Lake Park. There are also caches hidden near the trails at Lake Mercer, Huntsman Lake, Hidden Pond Nature Center, Fountainhead Park and South Run Rec Center. You can find local caches on the www.geocaching.com website by entering your zip code or lat/long coordinates. Modify your search for terrain and difficulty to tailor your searches for younger, less experienced cachers. Puzzle caches add a fun twist to using multi-million dollar satellites to find tupperware hidden in the woods.
NOVAGO - Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization (www.novago.org) always welcomes new people and children of all ages to the sport! The website lists the NOVAGO Spring Event on April 29 at Riverbend Park in Great Falls. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the sport, meet new people and have fun! Geocachers are some of the friendliest and most fun people we have met anywhere!!

Before you begin caching, it is always a good idea: 1. To familiarize yourself with the website, rules of the sport (CITO, logging caches, trading items in caches, travel bugs) and also the acronyms used in caching and 2.To familiarize yourself with the area and terrain surrounding the caches you are seeking and exercise appropriate safeguards and caution, especially if you are bringing children.
Also worth noting is that most Geocaching in done with a handheld GPS receiver since most car GPS systems don't display the proper information needed to geocache effectively (lat/long coordinates, ability to program waypoints).
Have fun and enjoy!!!

I'd just like to make a shoutout for OpenStreetMap (OSM), the Wikipedia of maps (i.e. anyone can edit the map). Geocaching.com uses OSM data for their map, as does Patch.com. Many geocachers also start editing OpenStreetMap because they go so well together, as both use GPS devices and often involve walking trails not commonly appearing on services like Google Maps. I've edited the map quite a bit in the Burke area. If you see something wrong or missing, either fix it yourself by starting here:
or let others like me know about it by clicking on the map to report a bug here:
After a little while (day or so at most), it will appear on sites using OpenStreetMap data, like Geocaching.com.
Josh Doe
10:59 am on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
In case anyone's interested in doing both geocaching and OpenStreetMap, the easiest way to start is to print a map of the area you'll be doing your geocaching here:
Then you take it with you, mark changes on the paper (e.g. adding in paths), then scan or take a picture of the paper and upload it to that same site. People like me (or yourself!) can then "trace" the information and add it to OSM so others will know what paths are available around a geocache.

Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta at the ICC |
By Alex Ndegwa
Mr Uhuru Kenyatta has lost a fresh bid to determine whether three witnesses whose testimony he discredited and believes secured confirmation of charges against him will testify during trial.
The International Criminal Court judges rejected the Deputy Prime Minister's application to order the Prosecutor to confirm to his defence whether it would rely on witnesses coded 4, 11 and 12 at trial.
Uhuru suffered the latest setback as the countdown to the trial beckons in two weeks when the first submissions by the parties establishing undisputed facts of the case are due.
The three protected witnesses, whose identities ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda disclosed to Uhuru on August 1, have been the subject of vicious sparring between the prosecution and Uhuru's defence.
Uhuru has sought to brand witnesses 4, 11 and 12 as liars, claiming they initially attempted to extort money from him and only turned to the prosecution when he refused to bribe them.
However, the DPM who claims they tried to extort from him and went to ICC when he refused to yield, is free to table evidence, including visual, audio and written word to prove to the court that this actually true.
Trial Chamber V judges agreed with the prosecution that the request was an attempt to obtain information earlier than stipulated in the schedule for the trial due to start on April 11 next year.
Uhuru's lawyer, Steven Kay, told judges during confirmation of charges hearing last September the prosecution anchored its case against Uhuru on what was claimed by the three protected witnesses. "However, two of them, numbers 11 and 12, were first interviewed by the defence team in 2011 and gave a fully exculpatory account to that now relied upon by the prosecution," he said.
Kay then told Pre-Trial Chamber II judges their versions "utterly contradicts the account that they have tried to advance in this court".
"Those protected witnesses, numbers 11 and 12, then attempted to extort money from my defence team and offered to pervert the course of justice, but they were thrown out of our offices," he said.
Kay added: "In pursuit of money, which has been their sole motivation, they discovered the ICC prosecutor offered better packages than we did. So that is where they went to provide a lying and utterly false account."

The Deschutes National Forest lifts its public closure of the road to Tumalo Falls starting Saturday morning, the U.S. Forest Service announced today..
Forest Service Road 4603, the Tumalo Falls Road, from the intersection of Forest Service Road 4601, Skyliners Road, will reopened at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, the Forest Service announced. The Tumalo Falls Trailhead will also be reopened. Opening the road will allow access to the Tumalo Falls Day Use Area and all trails in the area.
The Forest Service closed the road to accommodate replacement of a water line by Bend city contractors as part of its multimillion improvement of the city water system. However, a U.S. District Court judge in Eugene halted work by granting project opponents a preliminary injunction while the dispute is addressed in court.
Bend and its contractors will be removing equipment and materials from the area through Friday, according to the Forest Service. The service asks the public to remain out of the area until the road is officially open.

Mr. GRAHAM called for the special order, being his bill [H. R. 256] to provide a fund for the permanent endowment of the State University, and it was read the third time.
Mr. GILMAN hoped the bill would not pass the House. He was not in favor of taking the people of the whole State to endow an Institution that does not benefit more than 30 per cent of the people of the Stale.
Mr. GORDON said: Before the members vote upon this it would be proper to pause a moment and consider the magnitude of this question. This bill ought not to pass, for it is not in the interest of the general educational interests of the State. An appropriation of $90,000 annually for twelve years would be equivalent to taking a fund that would run the Common Schools of the State for three months. It is wrong in principle to appropriate this money. It is not for the benefit of the people of the entire State, and his tax should not be collected from the people of the whole State.
Mr. Wilson, of Kosciusko, hoped this bill will not pass, and in opposing it trusted no one will change him with not having proper respect for our educational interests, the provision of this bill for the endowment of this University are not such as he could support. There are thousands of people all over this State who are in debt for their homes and it would not be good financiering for us to attempt to raise this appropriation by taxing these people, who are already paying from 6 to 8 per cent. on their indebtedness.
Mr. MONTGOMERY hoped this bill will pass. As has been stated, her education interests are the pride of the State of Indiana. It would be prudent for us to vote this money for the permanent endowment of this Institution. One per cent on the $100 is a very small tax, and it would be expedient for us as the Legislature assembled here to vote this appropriation, that this Institution may be made a permanent Institution.
Mr. McMULLEN did not desire to detain the House long, but it appeared to him that this bill should pass. He thought no member would say that Indiana ought not to have a permanent University, one that will be the pride of the State. We must do as other States have done. We must profit by their example. He desired to tale to the gentleman from Putnam [Mr Gordon] that the tax for the coming year is not to be increased one cent by the provisions of this bill.
Mr. STUCKER opposed the passage of the bill.
Mr. MELLETT said: I am in favor of the passage of this bill. I can say for one that when I believes a measure is right, and that it is just, and that it is for the best interest of the State, that I can not refuse to support it, because I must meet my constituents hereafter. I believe that this measure is in the best interests and welfare of the State, and for this reason I am in favor of it. I think the time has come when the people of this State should be willing to endow this Institution.
Mr. K ESTER thought that if it is right to maintain this Institution it should be done in a credit table manner. He did not apprehend that this bill would cripple or influence the Common School Interests of the State in the least. He hoped that the bill would pass.
Mr MOODY spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr JEWETT moved the previous question, which was seconded by the House, and under the operations thereof-
The bill was rejected by yeas, 44; nays, 47.
