WebSphere historyInfo Command

Jan 04

historyInfo gives better report information than the versionInfo, providing dates that patches were installed, etc. Handy tip.

Example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM WebSphere Application Server History Report --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Report at date and time: 2004-12-26 01:47:19-0500 Installation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product Directory: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer Version Directory: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version DTD Directory: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/dtd Log Directory: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/logs/update Backup Directory: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/update/backup TMP Directory: /tmp History Directory /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/history History File /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/event.history Installation Event -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maintenance Package ID: was60_fp1_linux Action: install Package Filename: was60_fp1_linux.pak Log File Name: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/logs/update/was60_fp1_linux.install/updatelog.txt Backup File Name: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/backup/was60_fp1_linux.pak Timestamp: 2004-12-14 06:15:14-0500 Result: success

AT&T to Launch Trade-In Program This June?

Mar 01

jonclips No Comments

So, say you bought the iPhone 3G sometime in the last year and a new one comes out this June or July, technically you should not be eligible for the subsidy price. What does AT&T do about this? They introduce their new “Phone Trade-In” program of course. This may be one way AT&T will try to calm the angry hordes of people who feel they are owed the lower price. Keep in mind this is not without strings attached.

Dan Lyons: Palm Pre Rocks CES

Jan 08

jonclips No Comments

The stakes could not be higher for a 16-year-old company that boomed in the 1990s thanks to its Palm Pilot personal digital assistant and then boomed again by morphing the Pilot into a smartphone called the Palm Treo. At one time these gizmos were the cutting edge of cool; today, they seem like relics from some dark, distant age, eclipsed by the Research in MotionBlackBerry and the iPhone.

I’ll keep my iPhone, but it certainly looks cooler than my old Treo 650.

Open Source Software Defined Ham Radio Receiver Up And Running!

Dec 31

jonclips No Comments

Tonight I was able to fire up for the first time the receive portion of my HPSDR, a GNU-type open source software defined HF radio. I was able to hear WWV on 15Mhz, and some folks on the 20m maritime net on 14.300. Pretty cool!

I ordered a Penelope exciter board too, but TAPR shipped me an Ozy by mistake — I didn’t realize it until I opened the box today. Hopefully they’ll find me one.

Some more pics (iPhone, not great quaility) of the fun after the jump…

Diary of a Self-Help Dropout: Flirting With the 4-Hour Workweek

Dec 23

jonclips No Comments

My days are like eBay shipments: a few tangible things and a whole lot of packing peanuts. I obviously need help being the boss of me. So I decided to try an experiment: I'd spend two weeks absorbing, in succession, three well-known productivity systems and see if I could find one that worked for those of us who count income in 1099s instead of W-2s. I already owned David Allen's Getting Things Done; Gina Trapani, editor of the blog Lifehacker, further recommended Julie Morgenstern's Never Check E-Mail in the Morning and Timothy Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek. That made three, and three examples is all you need for a magazine article.

Nix fixes dependency hell on all Linux distributions

Dec 22

jonclips No Comments

A next-generation package manager called Nix provides a simple distribution-independent method for deploying a binary or source package on different flavours of Linux, including Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, and Red Hat. Even better, Nix does not interfere with existing package managers. Unlike existing package managers, Nix allows different versions of software to live side by side, and permits sane rollbacks of software upgrades. Nix is a useful system administration tool for heterogeneous environments and developers who write software supported on different libraries, compilers, or interpreters.
