This has been a thorn in my side 3 times now while at work: how to get the aging Apache::AuthenNIS mod_perl module ported to work with mod_perl2 and Apache2. There is a slightly helpful thread here, but it didn’t fully help me. Eventually, I figured it: you have to port the module form within CPAN, then install it.

Here’s what I did:

1. perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'

2. get Apache::AuthenNIS

3. look Apache::AuthenNIS

4. Replace AuthenNIS.pm with Patched Apache::AuthenNIS.

5. exit

6. install Apache::AuthenNIS

From there, you follow the rest of the tutorial on Apache and NIS authentication here.

Hopefully this information is helpful to someone out there doing a Google search.

Hi guys and gals,

Good to see you checking out the root directory of the domain. Not too much is here. I haven’t updated my blog in ages until today.

For some reason I’m getting a whole lot more hits on this woot-off than any of the other ones that I’ve run the checker on. I’ve only spammed the forums once, too. Say HI or give me a feature request/suggestion/complaint in the comments if you’d like.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone from Makezine Blog! Very happy to see you and hear your comments.

Here’s an update on where I’m going:

• We went to University of Iowa’s surplus store and picked up several small computer microphones. The guy there suggested piezos (similar to several comments that have rolled in) as sensors, but cautioned that the different sized piezos are sensitive to different frequencies.
• I’m looking harder at doing a current clamp to detect current flow in to the washer and dryer. This would eliminate a lot of the electrical noise picked up by the microphone (but would probably pick up other kinds of noise).
• Other options for data include temperature and vibration (as suggested by comments).

This is the first image that was rendered by povray on the Linux cluster. It took 32 seconds and barely made a blip on the cluster’s usage. This thing could be doing a LOT more work!

Last night’s PAAC event was pretty darn cool! We had Chris Carter - a mentalist - perform on the OC. Brynn’s event had the best turnout by far this year. He was a nice guy and could do his craft very well! He had me convinced and I’m still trying to think of how he does all that stuff.

Looks like it will be another busy weekend for me. Kyle and I are heading out to CR later to make a walmart run. I need some wire for soldering the LED kits I should be getting in from Australia later this week.

I put up my scarecrow from ART-104B up in front of McWethy this morning. I have to go to the reception for the show in an hour, and that sucks. Hopefully I’ll be able to sneak out earlier.
