Whilst skimming my Bash history today looking for an esoteric one liner I’d written earlier I started to ponder what my most used commands were, it’s easy enough to find out! This is actually output from my Mac, not a Linux box, I tricked you 😀

This blog is and has always been a blog of integrity, righteousness. A stalwart blog where I document my IT struggles and things I like to eat. Basically a combination of everything I hate in the world and everything I love, all in one place. And it’s going to remain that way. I will never sell out!
I like to read the Internet sometimes, I think I’m about half way through and so far nothing’s happened. But over the last few weeks I’ve been reading Smart Passive Income, basically a blog where some guy allegedly makes $50kpm by telling other people that he’s er .. making $50kpm. I think he’s making shit up personally, but it’s kind of inspiring. I’ve had Adsense running on this site for 2 years I think now, maybe more, who knows, and strangely I’m not retired and am still getting my fists dirty with magical computer machines. This blog has become amusingly popular though, although I don’t have a hardcore following it’s nice to read the odd comment about how I’ve helped someone create a Yum repository.
Last week I helped a friend of mine move house, and in return he also let me buy him dinner .. He lives up near the Thomas Kemp and I hadn’t been there for a while so it was pretty much set in stone what I’d be eating.
From their menu description:

So, I really like the song Papua New Guinea by Future Sound of London, so on a whim I decided to try and see if there were any Linux Sysadmin roles going over there, I think there’s a huge oil industry out there and they must use computers, right?
Turns out the first search result returned matches because of the png file extension? Ok, that’s the TLA for Papua New Guinea but what .. that’s the most relevant result? Really Google?
Syntax highlighting in vim can be super tricky, by default a lot of desktop environments seem to have white terminals, which is a bit dumb as it’s easier to read white on black than black on white, as such the default vim syntax highlighting is often unreadable if you have a black terminal, giving blue comments on a black background and the like.
The fix for this is to set your vim background to dark, e.g.
We’ve got to set up a SIP Registrar for a fantastic new project that one of our clients recently announced 😉 on RHEL5 so we’re going to trial OpenSIPS, backed with MySQL to see how it performs.
There’s a RHEL5 repository mirror here https://centos.leurent.eu/ that I’ve mirrored locally. If you don’t know how to create your own repositories you can read about that here.
First off I installed the opensips-mysql.x86_64 package to guarantee we pull in OpenSIPS as well as it’s MySQL dependencies.
