Easy access to log files

Here is the scoop: I need to provide access to multiple log files spread across multiple directories of multiple machines. For example - the JBoss log files and nohup.out, ATG log files, and so on - so that the testers can see what happened on server side when something looks fishy on front end. One option would be to write a document that contails IP’s of the machines, create user accounts, make sure that they have just enough access rights to see the files but not disturb anything else …

The Things bliss

Finally - the new version of Things on iPhone can synchronize with Things on Mac desktop. It actually works - no strings attached. Assumed that: 1) the WiFi on iPhone is on 2) iPhone and Mac are on same network (so that Bonjour magic can work) 3) the Mac Things is running when you start Things on iPhone the synchronization happens automatically and is VERY fast (few seconds max). Finally a portable GTD application that works for me :-).

Rogers, iPhone and the dreaded kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Error 302

Many people recently (including myself) had experiences difficulties with Web access on the iPhone. Quite often the following error message pops up: Usually repeating the web page access helps. Sometimes you have to try third time or wait few minutes. This has nothing to do with signal strenght - as you can see, there are 4 bars and 3G is on. I saw it happen on Edge as well. Reseting the phone sometimes helps, but it is hard to say whether because of the reset or time delay .

Linux vs Windows - great comparison

I have been "living in a command line" for last few weeks. Pretty refreshing experience. As result, I had to google a lot, especially when it comes to e.g. subtle differences between tar options on Ubuntu Linux and Open Solaris ... While doing that, I somehow stumbled upon this great writeup on cultural differences between Linux and Windows. Nicely written, no flamewars - obviously pro-Linux, but no Microsoft or Windows bashing and lots of insight.
