OK the internet is great ’cause it’s full of information, and the internet sucks ’cause it’s full of information, not all of it good or what you need. I have spent a lot of time looking for an online equivalent of a well-written perl book (I’ll spend 5 hours searching instead of buying a $30 book ’cause I’m cheap like that). I think the perl community knows O’Reilly and others have some good books, and why write new online docs if good books already exist? I haven’t found good online results for simple tasks like searching and replacing across multiple lines. Until I went to Google Books. Boom, there she was. (continued…)

I wrote an object-oriented database a few years back using “C++ Database Development” from Al Stevens as inspiration, and I’ve always wanted to dig it out and get it updated. I’m also working on ShareTheDJ, which needs cross-platform object serialization. Robert Ramey implemented boost::serialization and it looks like an excellent way to serialize my objects in a more STL-friendly way. Here’s how to set up under FC3/FC4, gentoo and Windoze…
UPDATE: Sourceforge root changed from [cvs-pserver.sf.net:443] to [boost.cvs.sourceforge.net]. Instructions were updated.
Now that I can ssh from anywhere to my linux box using my new Treo 650 and pssh, I am really enjoying the authoritative command-line versions of bittorrent straight from Bram Cohen. All I needed was a way to easily ssh in, play with torrents, and disconnect without stopping bittorrent. There are three ways that I know of to leave processes running after disconnecting from a terminal:
This is specifically designed to run processes detached from terminal.
eg: (./btlaunchmany.py torrent/active/ > torrent.log 2>&1 &) &
This is an entire “screen manager” for processes that use the terminal to display output.
[screen] really kicks booty – screen and btlaunchmanycurses.py are a perfect match:
Try it out, it rocks! More on this here…
Anonymous Coward writes “corey again.. you gotta let me know how to get x-forwarding working right with ssh……
On a Windoze (or Mac?) box, use putty:
1) Run an X server on your box – I use Hummingbird at work, Cygwin-X at home (I love it!)
2) Putty Configuration->Connection->SSH->Tunnels:
3) connect through putty and start up an X app
On linux:
1) ssh to where you need to go
2) export DISPLAY=[yourip]:0.0
3) start up an X app
Do either of those work for ya?
making an effort to ensure that there is, so you go with their proprietary solutions. But I will always make an effort to code everything I can in portable clean C++, and link to .net managed C++ only when necessary.
