Johnny Pesky: Red Sox legend
Johnny Pesky: Red Sox legend
Johnny Pesky has become a Red Sox legend not so much for his eight years playing for the club, but for his lifetime association with the franchise as one of its most beloved figures.
Pesky, whose No. 6 was retired in 2008, served as a player, coach, manager, broadcaster, special advisor and goodwill ambassador for the Red Sox, with whom he started in 1942.
Pesky was a fixture at spring training, where he liked to work with young players. Here, he chatted with Nomar Garciaparra in 1995.
Pesky became a favorite of players and fans alike. He drew mobs of fans seeking his autograph at spring training in 2006.
Pesky, right, with Ted Williams, left the Red Sox after his rookie season to spend three seasons in military service. He returned in 1946 and led the team in hits in his first three campaigns.
Pesky, left, maintained a lifelong friendship with Williams, and mourned him at the 2002 service the Red Sox held marking the left fielder's death. With Pesky were Dominic DiMaggio, center, and former broadcaster Curt Gowdy.
For generations of Red Sox players, Pesky was a source of baseball knowledge. Here, Manny Ramirez gave Pesky a bear hug at spring training in 2002.
Pesky regularly dispensed hitting advice, sometimes to players who would go on to become Hall of Famers, such as Jim Rice.
In 1995 and 1996, Red Sox manager Kevin Kennedy, left, often called on Pesky for advice.
Pesky served as an advisor in the dugout to Red Sox coaches and players, including Roger Clemens, for many years.
Working out with Pesky became a rite of passage for Red Sox players, and Jose Offerman took ground balls from Pesky on his first day with the Red Sox in 1999.
Pesky, center, helped continue a tradition of longtime Red Sox coaches such as Eddie Popowski, left, and Charlie Wagner (shown in 1997) becoming fixtures at spring training.
Curt Schilling spent time conferring with Pesky in 2004, his first spring training after being acquired from Arizona.
Pesky has hit thousands of fungoes to Red Sox players at Fenway Park over his decades of service to the franchise.
In April 2005, Red Sox owners bestowed a World Series ring on Pesky after the team ended its 86-year title drought.
Later that year, Pesky lost his wife of 60 years, Ruth. "She was a hell of a gal," he said of her.
In 2006, as the Red Sox celebrated Pesky's 87th birthday, they officially named the right field foul marker "Pesky's Pole."
Pesky, whom the Fenway Park crowd always seemed to love to salute, became a fixture at special occasions like Opening Day in the 2000s.
Pesky, with fellow Red Sox legend Dwight Evans, was one of the team's honored guests at Fenway Park's 100th anniversary in April 2012.
Pesky played for three teams, including the Tigers and Senators, and was once fired as the Red Sox manager. But he'll likely forever be linked as one of the faces of the Red Sox franchise.

Comic 834: Leaking On My Good Carpet
First, the praise. Randy has made a more-or-less topical comic not once, but twice in recent memory! Compared to his usual "this thing that was relevant in 2006 is still funny now, right guys?" schtick, this is fucking brilliant. And that is basically what the WikiLeaks logo looks like. So, good job?
Sadly that's the only good thing I have to say about this comic. The core of the joke seems to be "lol wouldn't it be funny if wikileaks released a bunch of data about people who supported it a bunch???" which, I'm not even sure how that's supposed to be funny. It seems to be coming down on the vaguely negative-on-wikileaks side? But it's not a particularly plausible or harsh criticism, unless it's trying to say that people only like it so long as it's not leaking their information.
Lots of people seem to like the alt text. This is wrong, both morally and intellectually. The alt text is boring and predictable and doesn't say anything new or interesting.
I could be wrong here, since the comic is so utterly insubstantial that it's very possible it is actually nothing more than the product of random chance, but it seems to me that the problem here is that Randy is trying to express an opinion--and subtly, for a change. Normally he expresses an opinion in such a hamfisted way that there can be no doubt that Randy has decreed this to be good and expects his followers to obey him, as they do in all things. But this time he's gone for subtle, and is relying on the power of his writing and the strength of his art to convey the intended message! Unfortunately his writing is weak and his art is shit, so the intended message never gets there.
Listen, Randy. You suck at subtle. Stop trying.
Anyway! I took a little adventure to the forums to see what they had to say about this one. They don't seem to care for the comic much, but it has launched an incredibly hilariously retarded discussion on the nature of truth. It's probably not worth reading, but it produced the following gem:
"Don't get me wrong: Without trust, a working society would be impossible. But we weren't meant for this. We were meant for groups of 20-50 people, where we could look every single one of them in the eyes, and he knew the harsh consequences of hurting his group. I'm already in the process of developing a solution that allows societies of the size of ours to work like this again. But it will take time, because it's far more developed than what anyone could imagine based on the above alone."
He's developing a solution, guys! In a few years all the problems of living in a large society will be solved, thanks to the xkcd forums. You can thank them later.

I'm pretty sure that the quote is an overenthusiastic reference to "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It is a book about how 'civilization (enabled by agriculture) is basically the root of all evil. Luckily, civilization also kicks ass so let's not kill it but make it better.'ReplyDelete
People who don't like undergraduate philosophy students would say that undergraduate philosophy students like it a lot.
That aside, I found this comic to be at least a little bit funny. Exaggeration to comic effect isn't completely worthless. This is the kind of humor that my son (a freshman in high school) likes. I don't find it uproariously hysterical, but it isn't completely deadening.

Almost all the posts on the new comic are "LOL this is hilarious!" "side splitting laughter!" "the grey background is beautiful!"
I refuse to believe these people are being honest... are people really that easy to entertain? It's a pun. Nothing wrong with puns, I like puns. But it's not really a clever pun. It's just a nerdy pun. Is that all it takes to get nerds to bend over backwards to suck your dick?
835: Their all saying, "I major in CS!"ReplyDelete
Poop! They're.ReplyDelete
Rob, I think this comic was fine. When you deconstruct the joke, it's easy to make it SOUND unfunny, but I think the core concept of "lol wouldn't it be funny if wikileaks released a bunch of data about people who supported it a bunch???" actually IS funny.ReplyDelete
So I guess this might be the first time I disagree with not only this site, but the XKCD forums themselves. I give this comic my stamp of approval.
But that comment from the forum was fucking dumb.
- AnonymousDecember 17, 2010 at 12:07 AM
I'd say there's a reasonable and not overly subtle point there. Julian Assange personally has made clear that he supports transparency as an ideal in general, not just with respect to the government. And Wikileaks has leaked information about private sector organizations. Wikileaks wouldn't leak the information of "Anonymous" because that's both impossible and stupid, but Wikileaks is more or less against secretive organizations in general. So there's a genuine tension there, which can be exploited using irony.ReplyDelete
I didn't find the comic terribly funny, if only because all that Anonymous shit just preemptively annoys me, but I'd say there's some potential there.
there's no real tension there, because organizations who have secrets to keep from the public are not, by and large, supporters of WikiLeaks. this is the only way this comic could work: if there were prominent supporters of WikiLeaks who themselves had secrets that they did not want released to the public. to my knowledge no such entities exist.ReplyDelete
the issue is further complicated by the fact that WikiLeaks is an organization run by humans, not a robot that just collects secrets and leaks them at random. the humans that run it are unlikely to be so indiscriminate as to leak information on its most prominent supporters, even if there are prominent supporters who have secrets to hide (which I must stress is highly dubious--people with the sort of secrets WikiLeaks goes after are aware that they have those secrets, and will not be out supporting their work).
find me a secretive organization that /genuinely/ supports WikiLeaks and I might concede that there is the seed of a good joke here.
- YaridovichDecember 17, 2010 at 12:45 AM
I reached the same conclusion as Anon 12:07. If anything, I saw it as Randall making fun of /b/'s love for taking causes without really understanding what are they fighting, just following trends. My only real clue for this was the "we are legion" speech, wich, unless you're Fox News, it's commonly associated with 13 year olds trying to be dark and edgy. Hell, most boards outside outside of /b/ would thing the same. Nobody takes that shit seriously.ReplyDelete
So yeah, I find it pretty funny. Even if maybe for the wrong reasons.

Facepalm. DOUBLE facepalm!
The writing is horrible. He both spelled out the pun and made groan-inducing PPD groans. That's a whole new level of shit, guys! In a perfect world, this comic would be only the picture of the tree and the heap of presents, leaving for the reader to make the connection. Granted, that'd be easier if the heap wasn't pretty much a tree, representation-wise.
The art, too, is awful. No amounts of shiny shading can save this, guys! And I'm going to save this image here because I can't remember that cache site we're supposed to use, because, notice: Randall forgot to color under the rightmost stickman's arm. And some other points as well but, really: this is stick people, a tree of wires and balls and presents. It can't be THAT complicated that by the end of it Randall would be too tired to notice those goofs!
So, this comic could be much better. But Randall had to dumb it out to his high school fans, so it comes out as what it is: a dumb pun panel.

But the newest comic? I hate so much. Unfathomably. Take all the hate contained in the entirety of this blog, wrap it up into a little ball, compress that ball into an atom, use the LHC to smash it apart so scientists can examine those silly bubble-chambers that they pretend they can pretend to understand (because, seriously, let's be honest), result in a spiral that "definitely determines" the existence of the Higgs-Boson, create hundreds of thousands of years of scientific and creative invention based on this assumption, discover (due to XKCD's influence, inevitably) that it is wrong, cause the collapse of modern galactic society and the deaths of septillions of creatures, and ultimately bring about the extinction of all known galactic lifeforms in an initial event ultimately known as "The XKCD Horrible-Idea Compression MegaHolocaust?" All those deaths, however horrid, wretched, regrettable, shameful, preventable, etc, that they are? That's less than how I feel about this comic.
That's right. This comic is literally (yes, literally) worse than the MegaHolocaust. Thousands of millions of deaths Earthlings, Martians, Saturnites, Alpha-Centaurions, Betelguesics is funnier than this comic.
How does it feel, Randal? How does it feel to create something that is less funny than the MegaHolocaust?

Personally, i thought it was funny, the joke is in an organization being so unbiased and eager to expose any and all secrets, that it ends up just destroying it's supporting group. I don't fault you for analyzing the comics, but i do think you are being hard on them. i dunno, you just dont find them funny at all o.O Some of them are bad jokes, but some of them are really pretty funny o,O once you look at every little bit, it can lose it's humor. You seem a bit biased against him, and just expect each of his comics to be bad. Maybe he just doesn't appeal to your sense of humor, but i find most of his jokes funny. It's harsh to say everything he does is bad humor because you don't like it. :IReplyDelete
"once you look at every little bit, it can lose it's humor."ReplyDelete
let's stop and look at this comment, shall we? it implies that a joke is funny so long as you do not, in fact, pay attention to it. that, so long as you ignore certain details, you can laugh at it. that a complete understanding of the joke ruins the joke.
this is true--but only of bad jokes. good jokes stand up to analysis and nitpicking detail. XKCD does not.

Humour is, naturally, subjective by nature. The main idea behind xkcdsucks is that most of the people here used to enjoy xkcd but felt that it has had a huge downturn in recent years. There's still comics some people here like and others don't. For example, one of my favourite xkcd strips was the subject of one of the 'angriest rants' posts.ReplyDelete
Nobody here is 'biased' against Randall, and while we do expect each strip to be bad, that's only because the evidence implying that future strips will be bad is pretty overwhelming!

I dunno, I thought the comic made it clear enough (especially at the end, with the 'I'm going to date this jerk' line) that it wasn't exactly serious for it to be funny rather than creepy. And it stands to reason the xkcd forumites might not be quite the sharpest tools in the shed.
I found the comic pretty hilarious because it really is SO TRUE. There's people who actually think like that. Yes, it's observational humour, but it's good observational humour.

@Ravenzomg but the comic was clearly making fun of the creepiness of people who default to such tactics- the third last and second last panels are obviously not endorsing the intentions of the strategy as being anything more than selfish. It is, however, extraordinarily creepy the way so many readers interpreted it as putting a positive spin on the behaviour and found the comic vindicating. If I was Randall, I would have stopped making comics as soon as I discovered that I was serving such an audience.ReplyDelete

[...]this is true--but only of bad jokes. good jokes stand up to analysis and nitpicking detail. XKCD does not."
At the same time, overexposure to any humor ruins it. So while analysis is good and in the case of a good joke often leads to additional humor, too much analysis will inevitably ruin any given joke, at least for a while.

Yes, it is and anyone who has taken more than just intro to data structures (or just taken a introductory class with a more thorough prof) would know this. Like someone else was trying to point out to you, only a BINARY heap must be a complete tree. However, binary heaps are the standard so most introductory data structures books/classes just call them heaps. General heaps only have ONE restriction and that is that if Node B is a child of Node A then key(A) >= key(B).

Update on the xkcdsuxredux mess(not that anyone cares):ReplyDelete
Now the anonymous "hacker" says he'll give the blog back if his post gets 150 comments. From this, I draw 3 questions:
1) Why the hell would anyone want 150 comments to liberate a site he hates?
2) Does he really think people care that much about xkcdsuxredux or any site as such in general?
3) Who was the dimwit who messed up with the forums and directed that asshole to xkcdsuxredux?
This last one gets an addendum: I usually disagree hard with the forumites and despise them in general, but I have one unwritten rule which is now written, and that is: not mess with the fandom so they don't mess with me. Not an act of cowardice, but just as I don't like having XKCD shoved at my face in every site I go, I avoid mentioning how much I hate XKCD to fans.
That's why I think that must be the work of a dimwit.

So, just like Cheetos have an irremovable mental link to the flu for me, this comic now has an irrevocable association with the people it had hoped to mock.

From Openmoko
|NOTE: This article is written while I am doing this stuff myself on my Linux Ubunty 8.1 system. If you are on another OS brand or version you will probably have to adjust some parts to make it work. To help understand what commands to type on a terminal on the phone and what to type on a terminal on the host, all phone-terminal text is in green (only on firefox).
Erlang is a programming language which has many features more commonly associated with an operating system than with a programming language: concurrent processes, scheduling, memory management, distribution, networking, etc.
- Erlang has extremely lightweight processes whose memory requirements can vary dynamically. Processes have no shared memory and communicate by asynchronous message passing. Erlang supports applications with very large numbers of concurrent processes. No requirements for concurrency are placed on the host operating system.
- Erlang is designed to be run in a distributed environment. An Erlang virtual machine is called an Erlang node. A distributed Erlang system is a network of Erlang nodes (typically one per processor). An Erlang node can create parallel processes running on other nodes, which perhaps use other operating systems. Processes residing on different nodes communicate in exactly the same was as processes residing on the same node.
- Erlang has various error detection primitives which can be used to structure fault-tolerant systems. For example, processes can monitor the status and activities of other processes, even if these processes are executing on other nodes. Processes in a distributed system can be configured to fail-over to other nodes in case of failures and automatically migrate back to recovered nodes.
Soft real-time
- Erlang supports programming "soft" real-time systems, which require response times in the order of milliseconds. Long garbage collection delays in such systems are unacceptable, so Erlang uses incremental garbage collection techniques.
Hot code loading
- Many systems cannot be stopped for software maintenance. Erlang allows program code to be changed in a running system. Old code can be phased out and replaced by new code. During the transition, both old code and new code can coexist. It is thus possible to install bug fixes and upgrades in a running system without disturbing its operation.
Incremental code loading
- Users can control in detail how code is loaded. In embedded systems, all code is usually loaded at boot time. In development systems, code is loaded when it is needed, even when the system is running. If testing uncovers bugs, only the buggy code need be replaced.
External interfaces
- Erlang processes communicate with the outside world using the same message passing mechanism as used between Erlang processes. This mechanism is used for communication with the host operating system and for interaction with programs written in other languages. If required for reasons of efficiency, a special version of this concept allows e.g. C programs to be directly linked into the Erlang runtime system.
Fast and Lean
- Erlang is fast and lean. A general erlang application has lots of processes. If you are used to OOP you can compare a process with an object. One process per object instance. To make sure the neo could cope with this I watched top while I was busy dialing a phone number on the Aphasia dialer. Each of the twelve buttons are a separate process. Each has its own little animation, and if you look carefully you can see they run in parallell and are acting independent of each other. The top statistics show a really low CPU utilization, I have to dial quite fast to exceed 5% CPU. Next test I made was to measure the time it takes to start these 12 processes and have them display themselves on the screen (aka start the dialer app). It takes approximately 0.5 sec!
Installation on OpenWRT
Follow the guidelines in the OpenWRT wiki page. Go to "Build Custom Image" and follow the instructions. In "Configure target and packages" scroll down to Languages and select Erlang. In Xorg, select app and mark xauth with a *.
Install the GUI package ex11
Take a look at this example of what you can do with ex11 [1] Download from http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/?group_id=59 It is sufficient if you take the file at http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/753/ex11_lib.tgz and unzip it in your source directory.
In file /root/.profile
export DISPLAY=:0
In file /root/.erlang
io:format("Running Erlang from root~n"). code:add_patha("/root/trunk").
I keep my erlang source in /root/trunk
Copy Xauthority from host
scp .Xauthority phone:/root
Add localhost to it with xauth
xauth add OpenWrt/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 cfcc5ef98f9718f90154f355c0ae9f62 exit cp .Xauthority /
Installation on FSO distribution
The minimal erlang system is only 4 MB. It fits nicely into whats left in the Freerunner and neo1973 after openmoko-fso-image is installed.
Download cean_installer.bin from CEAN http://cean.process-one.net/downloads/ At the CEAN Downloads page, select "Installer" and "Production" and "Linux ARMEL" and Download. Copy the file cean_installer.bin to your neo. To save keystrokes I have added "192.168.0.202 phone" to my /etc/hosts file.
scp cean_installer.bin phone:/home/root
Open a terminal window to the phone. Password is blank. Unless you changed it to something you just have to press enter at the prompt.
ssh phone
Before you can install erlang you have to get a copy of the file libsctp.so.1. I grabbed one from my Debian installation on the cf card at /media/mmcblk0p2/usr/lib/
cp /media/mmcblk0p2/usr/lib/libsctp.so.1 /usr/lib
Or if you get it from your host:
scp ./somedir/libsctp.so.1.0.9 phone:/usr/lib/libsctp.so.1
Make sure you have "tar" installed on the phone:
opkg update opkg install tar
Now you are ready to install erlang. On the phone, type
chmod 777 cean_installer.bin ./cean_installer.bin
If all goes well you will see the erlang console prompt
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.3 [source] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false] Eshell V5.6.3 (abort with ^G) 1>
I use ^C and then "a" to exit the shell.
Install the GUI package ex11
Take a look at this example of what you can do with ex11 [2] Download from http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/?group_id=59 It is sufficient if you take the file at http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/753/ex11_lib.tgz and unzip it in your source directory.
In file /home/root/.profile
export DISPLAY=:0
In file /home/root/.erlang
io:format("Running Erlang from root~n"). code:add_patha("/home/root/trunk").
I keep my erlang source in /home/root/trunk
Copy Xauthority from host
scp .Xauthority phone:/home/root
When everything is installed you can try this "hello World" code to verify the platform. It will create an empty window.
-module(test). -export([start/0]). -import(ex11_lib,[eMapWindow/1,xDo/2,xFlush/1,xColor/2,xCreateSimpleWindow/7]). -include("ex11_lib.hrl"). -define (WT,480). -define (HT,640). start() -> spawn(fun win/0). win() -> {ok, Display} = ex11_lib:xStart("3.1"), Win = xCreateSimpleWindow(Display,0,0,?WT,?HT,?XC_arrow,xColor(Display,?blue)), xDo(Display, eMapWindow(Win)), xFlush(Display), loop(). loop() -> receive Any -> io:format("Unknown Event~p~n",[Any]), loop() end.
Put this code in a file named test.erl Start erlang console
and compile and run the file with
c(test). test:start().
Note that it is ok to create and compile the file on your host and copy the compiled file "test.beam" to the phone. If you want to compile on the phone you have to install the compiler. Try this in the erlang shell.
I must admit that for some reason it doesn't work for me. I don't compile on the phone anyway so it's no big deal.
Installation on SHR-testing distribution
Get a version from CEAN, as described above, but get the "Archive", and not the "Installer". You will need the "libsctp" lib, too, but it's not in SHR anywhere. You can get a compatible .so out of the .deb package from this link [3]. Find the file libsctp.so.1.0.9, and save it to /usr/lib/ on your SHR freerunner. You should now be able to start the erlang shell.
Installation on Debian distribution
Make sure you have an uboot that is compatible, I used Uboot u-boot-gta01bv4-1.2.0+svnnow-r13_0_2632_0.bin
Install Debian, install script is here http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian
Follow the instructions. I had to type in the setenv string and then saveenv. Reboot to get the new menu_4 title to show up.
apt-get install erlang-base
Install the GUI package ex11
Take a look at this example of what you can do with ex11 [4]
Download from http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/?group_id=59 It is sufficient if you take the file at http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/437/ex11lib.zip and unzip it in your source directory.
In home directory file .profile
export DISPLAY=:0
Remove "-nolisten tcp" from /etc/X11/xinit/xservrrc
Install xauth package and create .Xauthority file
debian-gta01:~# apt-get install xauth debian-gta01:~# xauth xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority Using authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth> q
Copy .Xauthority to /
When everything is installed you can try this "hello World" code to verify the platform. It will create an empty window.
-module(test). -export([start/0]). -import(ex11_lib,[eMapWindow/1,xDo/2,xFlush/1,xColor/2,xCreateSimpleWindow/7]). -include("ex11_lib.hrl"). -define (WT,480). -define (HT,640). start() -> spawn(fun win/0). win() -> {ok, Display} = ex11_lib:xStart("3.1"), Win = xCreateSimpleWindow(Display,0,0,?WT,?HT,?XC_arrow,xColor(Display,?blue)), xDo(Display, eMapWindow(Win)), xFlush(Display), loop(). loop() -> receive Any -> io:format("Unknown Event~p~n",[Any]), loop() end.
Put this code in a file named test.erl Compile the file with
erlc test.erl
Run from erlang console.
erl test:start().
Erlang development environment
You can in fact choose any text editor, and use a terminal window to compile and copy compiled erlang beam-files to the phone. However, I have found SciTE to be a nice choice. It has erlang colour coding, bracket matching, code completion and lots of more stuff you are accustomed to find in a programmers editor. And it's easily configurable to handle compilation and error tracking, click on an error message to go to the line where the error is located.
In addition to all this you can set it up to let you run your erlang app on the host, and to copy the compiled app to the phone and run it there. All from within SciTE. This gives a very fast turnaround time, I can compile my app - run on host - copy to neo - run on neo in less than a minute. Part of this fast development cycle is of course due to the fact that erlang is platform agnostic - the same compiled code runs on Arm and Intel Linux and Windows.
|NOTE: Other options for erlang developers are Eclipse and NetBeans. Add erlIDE to Eclipse or use ErlyBird
You don't need an emulator
All you need to run a phone application on your host is erlang and an X-server. Are you running linux it's just to install erlang and you are done. On a Mac you also have to install the Apple X-server app. It works right out of the box, and is a free download from www.apple.com. Textmate is the recommended erlang ide for mac-users. Windows users have to take another path. You develop and compile erlang source on your windows box, and use erlang's built in hot code loading to run your code right on the phone without any restart or reboot.
Install SciTE
Download from here http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html and install. If you have apt-get it can be as easy as
sudo apt-get install scite
Seting up SciTE for openmoko development
Before you start configuring SciTE, make sure ssh, scp and rsh works from a terminal window. I have to run this script whenever I connect the neo to the host
#!/bin/bash ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
Start SciTE and select menu Options|Open Global Options and uncomment

Runtime Environment
I am developing a vertical market product based on Openmoko, so I want my erlang platform alone to run (no window manager nor Zhone) when the phone is switched on.
Quick and dirty
Remove packages Enlightenment and Illume.
opkg -recursive remove e-wm
This is my /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xXWindowManager. I keep my erlang beam files at /home/root/trunk.
#!/bin/sh -e /home/root/cean/start.sh -setcookie SFEWRG34AFDSGAFG35235 -name email@example.com -noshell -pa /home/root/trunk -s main start > debug.txt
For Debian users it's /usr/bin/zhone-session. I keep my erlang beam files at /root/erlang/trunk
#zhone & #matchbox-keyboard-toggle & erl -setcookie SFEWRG34AFDSGAFG35235 -name firstname.lastname@example.com -noshell -pa /root/erlang/trunk -s main start > debug.txt #exec matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no
Replace "-s main start" with "-s your_module_name your_function_name"
All I have to do now is to re-start X whenever I want to run an uploaded app. This is what the last two menu buttons do in SciTe - stop X on the phone, and start X on the phone. As an alternative for stopping and starting X you can use Erlang's built-in hot code loading.
The svn xxx menu items is for version control if you are Using Subversion.
ssh phone
to get a terminal window and type
tail -f /debug.txt
to read shell printout from the erlang process.
The right way
The better installation would be to install a minimal system and then add Erlang.
This is my runtime environment file system when erlang is installed "Quick-and-dirty" in FSO:
root@om-gta02:~# df -h Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 252544 93980 158564 37% / /dev/root 252544 93980 158564 37% /dev/.static/dev udev 2048 44 2004 2% /dev /dev/mmcblk0p1 497920 0 497920 0% /media/card tmpfs 60400 52 60348 0% /var/volatile tmpfs 60400 0 60400 0% /dev/shm
Compare to this filesystem on OpenWRT minimal with Erlang installed:
root@OpenWrt:/# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 246.6M 39.6M 207.0M 16% / tmpfs 61.8M 44.0K 61.7M 0% /tmp tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
Example Code
Use D-Bus in erlang
Dbus = open_port({spawn,"mdbus -s"}, [stream, use_stdio, binary]), loop(Dbus).
And get the response
loop(Dbus) -> receive {Dbus,Msg} -> io:format("Dbus msg:~p~n",[Msg]),loop(Dbus) end.
I'm using vector graphics to produce new widgets. Vector graphics is lightweight and programmable, easy to scale and rotate, and the Byte-Size is small. Use any vector-capable drawing application. I happen to use AutoCAD LT on Wine, but please suggest an open source alternative and I will be happy to create another small conversion program to translate the new drawing file to erlang source. If you have access to AutoCAD, take dxf2erl.erl from here

Automated unit testing cranks up one notch this month with Isolator V7.4.1 for .NET developers from Typemock. The new release integrates with Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 — and this means that developers working with the TFS collaboration platform can now start from the supplied Microsoft build template.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
- How Enterprises Are Attacking the Cybersecurity Problem
- IT Threat Intelligence & How Enterprises Are Using It
WebcastsMore >>
Programmers can also now edit their existing template so that their Isolator tests run as part of an automated build.
NOTE: This TFS 2012 integration comes in addition to full integration with all other major CI (continuous integration) tools.
The plug-and-play profiling here is designed to integrate with any coverage tool, memory profiler, and any other profiler. Setting Isolator to work together with other developer tools is "straightforward", says Typemock, and there is "substantially reduced plumbing" involved lowering the risk of configuration errors.
Eli Lopian, CEO and founder of Typemock, said that these developments make Isolator the most "integration-friendly" dev tool out there, as it is the only one supporting all profilers.
"Other new updates include the new ability to mock the current date and time by ignoring the
DateTime.Today property. Enhanced user experience features include running impacted tests from anywhere in the code, highlighting important test data, faster responsiveness when editing methods and tests, and improved shield display on partial classes and generic methods, as well as other modifications in API behaviors which allow for more readability in tests," said Lopian.

Tribolube-7 is a non-soap thickened, heavy load carrying synthetic grease with a very wide operating temperature range from -100 ºF to 450 ºF for long term operation, and up to 600 ºF for short term operation.
Tribolube-7 is superior for applications where excellent heavy load and antiwear characteristics are required and good low temperature start/run torques are demanded. Applications included gears, gimbal rings, oscillation bearings, antifriction and plain spherical bearings. It is especially suitable for use in applications using miniature bearings. Blower motors, motor generators, plastic clutches and gears, servo motors, microwave ovens, speedometer cables, motorcycle and automotive distributors, typewriters, business machines, etc. Other applications include sub-fractional horsepower gear motors, camera drive systems, microswitch assemblies, reduction gears, and scientific instruments.
Function of Lubricating Greases
A good quality lubricant reduces friction and wear, dissipates heat, keeps out dirt, and prevents rust formation. It must provide good "boundary layer" lubrication, and be thin enough to get between moving parts, and once there, it must be thick enough to separate them with a slippery oil film. This oil film must be strong enough to provide full-film "hydrodynamic" lubrication between moving parts such as bearings, screw actuators, etc. It must also act as a kind of floating seal, filling in the microscopic imperfections in moving surfaces with a thin film of lubricant.
If it is too thin, under shock or extreme loads it will not separate moving surfaces. If it is too thick, it cannot squeeze between the moving parts to provide proper lubrication. If either extreme exists, friction and wear occurs; accumulating wear debris escalates wear until failure occurs.
Heat is generated between moving parts in machines, even though they are lubricated. Some greases can reduce the operating temperatures of bearings , gears, or other moving parts by having better EP and anti-wear properties thereby reducing the metal to metal contact and the associated heat. Grease lubricants also work as a seal, keeping out dirt and other foreign matter, thus preventing damage to the bearing and contact surfaces. The effect of rust or corrosion on unprotected metal can readily be understood. A lubricating film on moving parts protects them from this damage by preventing contact with air, moisture or other corrosive agents thereby increasing useful life.
Properties of Synthetic Lubricating Greases
In general, a grease is an oil that has been thickened by a solid or semisolid dispersion, commonly a clay or a soap, in a petroleum or synthetic lubricating fluid, plus the desired additives used to enhance grease performance properties.
Composition of Lubricating Greases
Typical Compounds
Petroleum or Synthetic
55% - 96%
Soap or Non-Soap
4% - 45%
0% - 20%
All of the grease components affect the physical and chemical properties. Standardized testing must be used to provide useful information about the properties of grease lubricants. Such information can then be used to compare and select a grease for a specific application. Some of these tests are described in following sections.
Purpose of Synthetic Lubricants
Demands placed upon lubricants have become increasing severe with advances in industrial machinery and equipment design. Higher operating temperatures, speeds and gear and bearing loads are stressing the capabilities of conventional petroleum-based lubricants. The OEM's have increased demands for "sealed for life" applications. Such applications require synthetic lubricants.
Synthetic lubricants were developed to meet demanding requirements which exceed the operational limits of conventional petroleum based lubricants. Because they are man-made , synthetics can be better tailored to their role as a lubricant by meeting predetermined physical and chemical properties. Formulated from pure hydrocarbons, synthetics do not contain the impure components that adversely affect the physical and chemical stability of petroleum based lubricants.
Synthetic oil and grease lubricants have been solving demanding lubrication problems by replacing petroleum lubricants in applications that exceed their environmental, operational, or service life limitations. In such applications, synthetics pay for themselves many times over in reduced component failure, repair costs, warranty costs, down time, and increased service life.
Synthetic vs Petroleum Lubricants Performance Both oil and grease lubricants made from synthetic based fluids have a much wider operating temperature range and are more thermally and oxidatively stable than lubricants made from petroleum-based fluids. Low Temperature Performance
At very low temperatures, most petroleum-based oil and grease lubricants thicken and are usually limited to temperatures no lower than -20 ºF unless high temperature performance is sacrificed. In contrast, synthetic oil and grease lubricants have good low temperature viscosity and fluidity characteristics down to as low as -140 ºF, and are still capable of operating at temperatures as high as 600 ºF.
High Temperature Performance
Lubricants are susceptible to failure at high temperature, especially in thin films after long term exposure. Recent research in boundary lubrication confirms the primary role of high temperature in lubricant degradation. Increasing temperature rather than increasing shear load has been found to induce most lubricant failures. Petroleum-based oil and grease lubricants have an upper temperature limit of about 250 ºF to 300 ºF. Above these temperatures they become fluid and volatile. If grease lubricated machinery is operated above that temperature limit, the lubricant breaks down and may melt or form hard carbon deposits. Some synthetic grease lubricants can operate up to about 600 ºF without melting.
Oxidation Stability
Oxidation is the primary breakdown mode of most lubricants, leading to the formation of sludge and other corrosive compounds. When lubricants are exposed to air, oxygen, or other strong oxidizing chemicals, petroleum- based lubricants deteriorate and break down easily, especially at high temperatures. Many chemicals can attack petroleum-based lubricants resulting in gummy deposits. Lubricant failure may result in corrosion of parts, deterioration of seals, stuck or worn bearings, and product contamination. This results in frequent equipment down time for relubrication, replacement of parts, cleaning, and maintenance. The thermal and oxidative stability of synthetics often makes them the only alternative for very cold, extremely hot, sealed for life applications, or harsh operating environments.
Dust, dirt, and other debris can create additional problems for petroleum-based lubricants. These lubricants tend to attract contaminates because they are naturally occurring compounds which have unreacted molecular end groups. These end groups produce electrical charges at the surface, so when a charged dust or dirt particle comes near, they are attracted to the surface of the lubricant. The dust particles can be abrasive and damage parts and machinery. It is this characteristic of petroleum-based lubricants that create problems in dusty and dirty applications such as paper and textile mills, printing plants, and metal-forming operations. This situation leads to frequent machine down time for cleaning and relubrication. Because synthetics are man-made , they are fully reacted chemicals and do not have the unreacted end groups which attract dust and dirt. Wear of moving parts can thus be reduced in dusty environments.
Load and Wear Performance
Synthetics lubricants can provide increased wear protection over petroleum-based lubricants due to better viscosity-temperature properties. Tribolube Synthetic Lubricating Oils and Greases are specially formulated to function in applications or environmental conditions where standard "general purpose" lubricants will not perform or will perform only marginally. Tribolube lubricants outperform conventional lubricants under conditions such as hard vacuums, low and high operating temperatures, oxidizing environments, high rotating speeds, extremely high load conditions, applications where little wear can be tolerated, high radiation levels, extremely corrosive environments, and where long life is mandated.
What are the Pay Offs?
The failure of petroleum lubricants to give adequate performance is making greases and oils formulated from synthetic hydrocarbon fluids increasingly attractive. Reduced maintenance costs for manpower and replacement parts, and reduced downtime with associated production loss, make synthetic lubricants cost effective in most applications. The demand for lubricant stability over increasingly wider ranges of operating conditions exceeding the capability of petroleum lubricants is making synthetics mandatory in many OEM applications.

CHINO HILLS – Neighbors say they are angry a number of undocumented women are giving birth at a large house in this city.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies and city officials said they are also concerned that the house, which many call a mansion, at 15250 Woodglen Drive, is an illegal Chinese maternity operation.
The women allegedly come to the house in their last trimester but conceal their pregnancy from U.S. customs officials. Once born, the baby is a U.S. citizen.
Mayor Art Bennett said city Code Enforcement officials visited the house last week inquiring about a septic tank issue and noticed new construction.
"There was a lot of improvements to make individual rooms," Bennett said, "and they found out upon further investigation that they were renting those rooms out as motel rooms to bring in Chinese expectant mothers to the United States and these people are paying substantial fees to stay in that residence until they have their child."
For months, residents said they noticed a lot of activity in the neighborhood as vehicles and vans went to and from the house.
Code Enforcement officials have been watching the house since September because 2,000 gallons of sewage was discharged into the city's storm drain system and the county's Flood Control Channel, city officials said.
"At first, we thought drugs, prostitution or human trafficking," said Linda Spencer, who lives down the street from the Woodglen Drive house.
"Then, we contacted the Chino Hills Sheriff's Department and they told us they would check into it then they showed us pictures and I thought this is a residential neighborhood and they're running a commercial hotel and it needs to be shut down."
Code Enforcement officials visited the property last week with an inspection warrant and issued a cease-and-desist order based on several violations, Bennett said.
"This home is not meant to be a hotel by any means, plus there is a septic tank overflow and sewer spillage," he said.
"This is a single family residential home that is being operated as a hotel and it isn't zoned for that and based on that it needs to be shut down."
City officials are dealing with the code enforcement issues, but not with the alleged illegal maternity operation, Bennett said.
The house is also in violation for "operating a hotel in rural residential zone district" and for "using the single family custom home for other purposes than what is permitted," according to Code Enforcement documents.
The property was also in violation of constructing additional rooms, installing more air conditioning units and electrical outlets.
Sabrina Chen, listed as the contact for property owner, Hai Yong Wu, on a Sept. 18 city code compliance order, when reached by phone on Friday said she could not speak about the property.
"I am just a translator. I am not the owner," Chen said. "I cannot say anything about the property owner. He is out of town."
The concerned residents have started a grassroots group called Not in Chino Hills and created a website that detailed their concerns at notinchinohills.org.
They are protesting at 10 a.m. today at the corners of Peyton Drive and Chino Hills Parkway.
"I think everyone is shocked as to why they came to Chino Hills and the only conclusion I have is the home is secluded," said Rosanna Mitchell, a Not in Chino Hills member and resident of the city.
"There are a lot of homes that have a large acreage and the city is affluent and beautiful."
Mitchell, along with Spencer, alleged the group is also renting rooms at Green Valley Apartments, 14901 Frost Ave.
"I think they've been running this illegal business for eight months and no one has known about it and now we hear there are two locations, the home, and now Green Valley Apartments," Mitchell said.
Calls late Friday to Green Valley Apartments were not reurned.
Mitchell said asiamchild.com details how women in their last trimester should go about coming to America to get a visa.
"For me, I was born in Peru and my dad came here when I was young and he came here and worked hard to get money to get a Visa …" said Mitchell, who is also a Chino Hills City Council candidate.
