The parking lot at the church

Seriously, today the priest next store parked on the church's lawn.
Followed by other people. Just as I predicted before it looks like a parking lot through the window. Now they have two rows and are right over the lawn.

Who parks on a lawn? Are these people from the country or what? When the priest does it on dance camp day it really send the wrong message about parking etiquette. He always tries to tell me he is so against illegal parking, whatevs.

The frustrating part is they drive over our driveway to get there.

However, the ridiculous part is there is parking on the street.

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.

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
