Getting your Stanza ebooks off your iPhone or iPod Touch
Posted by Paul Rimmer / Sunday, November 29, 2009 (01:47:51) / (370 reads) Handhelds


This might be of interest to those of you that like to read eBooks on your iPhone or iPod touch and use the great reader app, Stanza. There are several places to download books directly onto your device from within Stanza, just take a peek under the Online Catalog section. In case of disaster I wanted to backup the Stanza books into Calibre, the fully featured, multi-platform, open source eBook organizer I've been using. Since there's no way to do this from Stanza I whipped up a little Perl script to do it for me. All you need is an SSH server running on your device and 3 configuration items edited at the top of the script. When executed, it finds the Stanza library on your device, downloads all your books and renames them from the obfuscated name on the device to one that can be easily imported into Calibre.

Nightly Builds for Continuous Improvement
Posted by Paul Rimmer / Friday, November 20, 2009 (21:24:17) / (261 reads) Programming


I recently was having issues with a project that was continually getting stuff checked in on HEAD that was broken. You'd spend a lot of time checking everything out and then build it only to find out it was broken Sad . I decided to setup a nightly build server that would checkout the latest of everything at midnight and attempt to build it. As usual I did a quick Google search on "nightly build tool" and stumbled across the open source project Hudson. Within a short amount of time I had installed this tool on our Linux development server and had configured it to do nightly builds, present the results on a nice web interface, hook into the version control system and do things like email anyone that had checked something in when the build broke. Great tool and highly recommended! Read here for more info.

Migrated Ronin Technologies Version Control System to Git
Posted by Paul Rimmer / Sunday, November 15, 2009 (23:53:32) / (327 reads) Linux


This weekend I installed Git on our Linux server to manage software version control. In the past we've used CVS and Subversion but they are getting a little dated and I'd like to see how Git works. Installation was a snap using gitosis with ssh keys. For external viewing I also hooked up viewgit, which gives a nice WebUI interface to the Git repositories. Very impressed so far. You can see it in action here. Only thing I'd like to add is links to each line number.

I've just finished setting up a 1-wire temperature sensor network in our house. You can see the resulting temperature charts here. It utilizes a couple of great open source packages: OWFS 1-Wire File System and RRDTool.

Read all about the details of how I put it all together here.
