Upside down photos from iphone 3.0 paste

I was so excited that you could copy and paste more than one picture into an iphone 3.0 email. But unfortunately, they come out upside down.

In gmail, the thumbnail looks fine but the actual image is upside down. This only happens when the image is copied from my gallery and pasted into an email. Argh. Hopefully, they fix that before the real GM?

Quartz does interpret it properly but here is the image, directly transfered from the iphone, dragged to firefox. I image that will be a problem for a lot of people.

Twins birthdays


My dad and my uncle had their birthday today. Here they are with a
yummy Oreo cake. My mom also got cherries. It was the first of the
season. They were only $2.99/lb at tops. I wish we had a cherry tree
so bad. I would trade half the pears for cherries.

Mistakes


It all works now and we have a hose in the backyard. I think we might
finally be good at soldering.

More SSH fun - tunneling mysql over ssh

I use ssh for port forwarding a lot. One of the most frequent uses is to allow for secure local access to a remote mysql server over ssh. In order for this to work you must have ssh accesss to the mysql box.

This is the format of the command. You must replace LOCAL_PORT and REMOTE_PORT with the ports you wish to use. Mysql is normally on 3306. Also replace user@remote_server with your login info.

ssh -L LOCAL_PORT:127.0.0.1:REMOTE_PORT user@remote_server

While you can forward directly from 3306 to 3306, lets say you already had a local mysql server running on 3306 and wanted to port foward you server's mysql on port 3306 to your localhost at port 3307.

ssh -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 user@remote_server

Also if you have ssh running on another port you can specify that with the -p argument

ssh -p 1506 -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 user@remote_server

Once you have established the connection, open a new local terminal session and type:

mysql -u YOUR_MYSQL_USER -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P=LOCAL_PORT

Enter the password and you are set to go

Make sure to replace YOUR_MYSQL_USER with your mysql user
account and LOCAL_PORT with the LOCAL_PORT you chose above, say 3306 or 3307.

If you want to have the connection debugged an not end up at the remote terminal you can add these additional arguments

ssh -v -f -N -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 user@remote_server

Remember to change the remote ssh port if you need it.
ssh -p 1506 -v -f -N -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 user@remote_server

More pics - No relation to the last jour

Red snapper is so freakin' expensive at the coop, to be exact $30/fish. Its a whole fish. You have to clean it yourself, its not half as big as it looks in this picture. There is no such thing as organic fish - so really what is this. I could have it cooked and served to me at that price.

image

This bird died. Hop its not the avian flu or west nile.

People parked us in this morning and even left there car. Seriously, it makes me just want to slash their tires at this point.

Hellenic festival

we went to the Greek festival today. It's mostly a food festival.

image
image

The food is really just like Greek diner food and despite Greece being a land of seascapes, it includes no seafood. That made me sad. They even had all these historical picture of fish and fisherman.

image

The only thing I can think of is that the people who founded that church were mountain Greeks.

My favorite part is the loukoumi, which are also known as Turkish delights. I am obsessed with them. I decided to just learn to make them, although I bought a pack of rose flavored ones.

image

The really surprising parts were learning how the Greek orthodox felt about Catholics is how the Catholics feel about the Protestants. Also I learned there used to be five patriachs till the pope got power hungry. Well, at least that is their story.

On the way out the pig man christians were protesting the Greek festival with a similar furvour to the way they protest Thursday in the square. It's so weird now that they protest everything. I hope they protest the Italian festival and guidos beat the shit out of them.

This seems like a bad translation - "Our ancestor's once proved useful to humanity"

The ones in the white skirts were men.

Being chemical bombed

This morning I was climbing in the pear tee when I heard these snake like noises coming under the fence from the parking lot behind us.

I climbed higher up in the tree so i had sight of a person back there and asked him what wad going on.

Turned out to be the noise of weed killer spray hitting the ground and draining into our garden and tortoise home. When matts babysitting the kids they play back there, and we have food plants growing there.

I am so angry that to keeps weeds off there freakin blacktop, they thought it would be cool to spray into my backyard. Matt says it's illegal without notification.

I just turned the hose on and sent the shot back in the other direction. I washed out the tortoise burrough but now I am still concerned. I wonder how often they do it.

The obvious answer is a brick mini wall. Like I don't have anything better to do.

It is like having my garden chemical bombed.

Hundreds of People Moved Downtown!

This morning I was reading a Buffalo Rising article about Buffalo making a comeback

While I think Buffalo does seem to be making a comeback, one of the signs of change was "Hundreds of people have moved downtown in the past few years."

Seriously? I hope that number is wrong or you never use it as a positive statistic again. Anytime you measure the success of a fairly large downtown by saying hundreds of people have moved there in the course of several years, it sounds like you are being sarcastic.
