One of my many first world problems stems from the fact that I have both Comcast/Xfinity and Verizon Frontier FiOS for Internet in my house. I use Comcast for all my home/entertainment junk and Frontier for work. This is all well and good until I have to print to my network printer from my work …
Much as described in this blog post by Jeff Robbins , I have a situation where two sftp users in the same group are both uploading files to an Ubuntu 10.04 server using Dreamweaver. The issue is that by default the permissions are 755, so even though both users are in the same group, only the …
Mongo GridFS functions are now in the OpenBD nightly release. Data in MongoDB is stored as BSON which currently has a 4MB size limitation so GridFS lets you store larger objects like files in Mongo. You can see all the MongoDB functionality baked into OpenBD in the MongoDB category of the online …

Since this was more confusing than it should be I thought I'd throw this out into the wild in the hopes others in this situation will come across it in their searches. If you have a Pogoplug (and if you don't, get one! they're awesome!) you may find yourself wanting to back up specific …
After my rant about Lenovo I figured I should follow up with a brief post about what I bought to replace it, which is an HP Pavilion dv7t . Overall I'm very impressed--it's a really nice laptop for the money and lightyears better than the Lenovo G770. If you don't feel like reading my Lenovo …
