Sympathy for and understanding

One famous Jew made the workflow on its famous web-app:

"some hidden link" ->
App Link ->
Application Profile Page (don't mess it with "Settings" above) ->
Edit Info (The smallest link on a page full of Ads) ->
App Settings (don't mess it with "App Information" above) ->
Web Site

It seems Lars von Trier had been attempting to become FB developer before he said what he is punished for as he would be speaking in communist country.

But i admire ability of representatives of some communities to sell tons of ads on 5 pages just for entering 3-4 setting options. I, poor slavic, would not think out such very good business for all my life.

They did their best

3 workhours flying away:



The beauty of the "more stable code" is amazing

Another improvement

It was:


// Application's initialization
Ext.onReady(function() {

...

});

and it worked without any problems.

Now they have made it "simpler, faster and stable":

// Register namespaces and their corresponding paths to Ext.Loader
Ext.Loader.setPath({
'AppName': 'app',
... // Other namespaces
});

// Specify a list of classes your application your application needs
Ext.require([
...
]);

// Application's initialization
Ext.onReady(function() {

...

});


and the result is:


I carry on to state: the authors of perfect software must be killed as soon as possible to do not let them make "improvements"

Shock of debianians

Typical screaming of of typical user of one of "the best" commercial Linux:

I recently installed 64-bit CentOS 5.3 on my PC. I can't get yum to work. If I run applications > system tools > software updater, i get the following error:

Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again

If i run yum intsall as su from a terminal window I get the following error:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

I left RedHat for sake of Debain in 2002. I wonder how many efforts were made to turn RedHat in this shit since then.

How could they manage things to make packaging system a nightmare?

Amazon EC2 makes me to cry

Anothere day, another hunging, another "Instance pending" while nobody asked for.

Almost any action causes: "Server.InternalError"

Terrible. Never again.

Another gentle key

Command-R is used to reload page on Macs. Good people from Oracle assigned it to reload virtual machine on their VirtualBox. Without least warning of course - remember they are Good People.

Amazon EC2 vs Rackspace Cloud Server

There's no choice for me any more. This morning all my services stopped, workers were crying, DNS has died. It happens. I am far from blaming Amazon for misconfiguration and overloading.

But EC2 instance has neither JavaScript "direct" console to connect a server with no network connection nor console logs. There's nothing to do with it besides plug it off from the outlet. But even this does not help. This is what i am seeing for last 30 minutes:



I understand shutting down can be endless with some good circumstances, but why they in Amazon left me nothing to do with it?

I am not the only who met this exotic situation: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=aws+instance+hang&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8, http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=ec2-stop-instances++force&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Needless to say, AWS command line tool was used without result:


Hm, this is a payment for curiosity. I used Rackspace Cloud servers for the clients and had no least problem for 2 years but wanted to try something new. Now i have it. Or they have me.

Well, ether a time was a cure or secret doubled "-f -f" flag but it stopped. And is not starting once again:



As usual, there's nothing wrong with the volume according to the screens:


Will Amazon pay me back for worktime we have lost?
