Kubernetes - start with

Well, some work done to start using kubernetes:

1. Use some overview guide, like this one:
 - brew install kubernetes-cli
 - install minikube
 - brew install docker
 - brew cask install virtualbox




Running Minikube with `vm-driver=none`

El Capitan - new system - some nice tools

brew - just install it and play with it as you would like
brew install xyz
brew --help

oh-my-zsh - very nice shell :). simply pleasant to use it. cheers, V!

then just play with installations for java, jenv, anything
and don't forget to setup the .zshrc plugins - add others like (git mvn) - this is getting nice autocompletion on cl

/now

I've tried to add a new page, based on the /now trend. The page is created, not yet displayed on the blog - no idea why. I'll get to it sometime later.

I am a space traveller!

Just concluded. ;)

Inspiration board

So, what do I read almost daily, to keep up with tech:
- DZone digest
- ThoughtWorks
- MIT Sloan (not quite daily)

Mavericks - I installed "jenv" to master the Java versions

Since I got stuck with the Java installations, I've found "jenv" and installed it in my wish to master the Java versions.

I have read about jenv here.

I have successfully added the Java 1.6 path to jenv
    $ jenv add /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

but currently this is failing in doing the same with the Java 7 path:

    $ jenv add "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"

The options so far:
- either find out how to add the path above (it currently stucks due to the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder name, containing a space.
- or find out a way to install Java 7 in another folder, similar to Java 1.6


I'll come back with details once resolved.

Updates:
I have created a symlink for the Java 1.7

$ ln -s '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home' /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0_51.sdk/Contents/Home

This then was easy to add to jenv
 $ jenv add /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0_51.sdk/Contents/Home

then check the available versions
$ jenv versions
* system (set by /Users/gutiuc/.jenv/version)
  oracle64-1.6.0.65
  oracle64-1.7.0.51

then set globally the Java 1.7

$ jenv global oracle64-1.7.0.51

and finally check the set version of Java:

$ jenv versions
  system
  oracle64-1.6.0.65
* oracle64-1.7.0.51 (set by /Users/gutiuc/.jenv/version)

or

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

 I will now switch back to IntelliJ and Maven to make them work with Java 1.7.

Mavericks - jde basic configs

I need to track down the configs I've made for the Maverick, to avoid forgetting these settings later on.

Apple Java installation path (SDK 1.6)
{code}
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
{code}

Maven home:
{code}
/usr/local/Cellar/maven30/3.0.5/libexec
{code}

Java Oracle home (SDK 1.7.0_51)
{code}
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
{code}


And speaking about the {code} tag, god knows what was in Atlassians' head when they've removed the wikimarkup from Confluence. I simply don't like the new Confluence version.

Homebrew - Package Manager for OS X

The missing package manager for OS X - to be tested.

Session Support - bookmarks

Just found some nice URLs, I think they're worth reading, therefore I save them here (my blog is my wiki as well).

So:
- OWASP, Session Management at OWASP
- Sun's Single Sign-On and Sessions support
- IBM's Websphere Application Server V7: Session Management

OWASP's details sound the most complete.

My new toy

Well, my iPad2 is here...
now working to make it really usable:))
I'm currently choosing from the available free applications, just found a FileApp which, in conjunction with the cyberduck.ch, let's me handle files on the device. This is good.
I've also managed to enable some more gestures on the touchscreen, by following advices from Jailbreak Movies. I might come later to add the links, right now I have no mood to do it.

PS: the wireless transfer is very slow for large files, recommended to try the wired way.

Happy about...

I'm happy about the way my son takes his challenges :). And I'm proud of him.

A song...

Still like this song, after continuously listening it.

AirPort Express is working

Sunday afternoon: busy in setting up my AirPort Express's wireless network at home.

It worked - not like a charm, but I managed to put it to work.

Some setting was not ok in the standard configuration, and the connection to ISP couldn't be made (PPPoE). Finally, I made it. But I cannot figure out now the very setting that did the work - this is why I will retry some other day a new configuration.

Well this is mainly a log for me, as it also sounds :).

MacFUSE - only a quick tryout

I was wondering about the compatibility on Mac of any external HDD. Even I am not fully clarified about this - yet, I've found that MacFUSE might help with this.

What I have so far:

... a tool I might use for working with the external HDD

... just figured out how easy is to uninstall apps in mac os x :). this time, MacFUSE. But even is uninstalled now (as I didn't buy yet the external HDD I'm looking for), I think would be useful for me to watch the Tech Demos as well.

... recommendations for the external HDD are welcome as well ;)

Google Accounts and this blog

Honestly, I've forgott the link to my blog. 

Luckily, I've found it again on Google Accounts! :)

ClickToFlash installed - performance improver on macbook

Today I've installed ClickToFlash in order to improve performance of my macbook.

To keep notes about this - here.

Remember uninstalling notes:

"Uninstalling ClickToFlash: for versions 1.5b4 and later, go to the Settings window and click the “Uninstall ClickToFlash” button. For versions prior to 1.5b4, navigate to ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ in the Finder, where ~ is your home folder, and delete the item named “ClickToFlash.webplugin” (or “ClickToFlash.plugin”)."
