Backpacking in the Rockies

I spent last weekend near Aspen, CO in the Maroon Bells - Snowmass wilderness on Condundrum Creek Trail. There was a lot more snow than we had anticipated for this time of year, but it was a beautiful trip.

Dynamically Add Apache Virtual Host with Python

Here's a little python snippet i created to dynamically update my apache config with a new virtual host when a new user signs up to BlogPlot.com. I will be calling this script from Zope via an external method in which i will pass the users domain name from the sign up form.

import string

def add_domain(user_domain):
    file = open("/etc/apache2/sites-available/site", "a")
    domain = user_domain

    template = """
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /www/somedomain.com
    ServerName $(domain)s
    ServerAlias www.$(domain)s
    </VirtualHost>
    """ % vars()

    file.write(template)

    file.close()

Joomla WYSIWYG Background Color Issue

I am working on a new content project which will be powered by Joomla. Joomla is a popular open source content management system written in PHP. There are tons of extenstions and templates out there, I recomend RocketTemplates for great templates. I ran into an issue with one of their latest templates "Dimensions". Joomla's WYSIWYG editor uses the site's template's CSS to apply style. With the Dimensions template, the background gets set to black, and your text is black, therefore you can't see anything you are typing. To fix this, in the administration panel, go to

Mambots > Site Mambots

then click on TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor in the listing. Under Parameters on the right-hand side, scroll down to Template CSS classes and select the No radio button. That's it!

Mike Doughty Grey Ghost Tab

It took me a while to locate the guitar tab for Mike Doughty's Grey Ghost so I decided to post the link as a bookmark for myself.

Testing... Testing... T-Qualizer

I ran across the T-Qualizer on ThinkGeek.com last week and I just had to have it. My wife thinks I am an idiot. Here is a goofy video demonstrating how the shirt reacts to sound (BTW my wife made me go out in the garage to do this).

Obviously this would be really fun to wear to a concert. It's one of those shirts where you think you are cool and you can imagine the band calling you up on the stage to show off your cool unique shirt but when you get to the venue there are like 5 other guys (who also have internet access) wearing the same shirt. Maybe I could take it to an Amish festival or something.

Flying at Burns Park

I have been posting alot of entries about helicopters lately and I'm sure you are tired of seeing them, so here is another entry about heli's. We flew at Burns Park this weekend. Ryan spent most of the day installing his new V2 frame joints. Alex was sporting his new custom canopy featuring the colors of his homeland. Perfect weather, good flying, no crashes.

Thanks to Alisha for taking photos.

Cats are Awesome

This Craigslist posting from Minneapolis is too funny not to share with everyone I know. The poster describes his evening feeding ritual for his 2 cats, Cat #1 and Cat #2.

Like a nuclear reactor meltdown, cat #1 pukes all of his half back into his bowl, licks his chops and saunters away. Mission accomplished, everything is fine.

Crashing Trex 450

I couldn't resist strapping my camera to my Trex tonight. It started out pretty good, but then I just HAD to go higher...


If your back up server cannot offer reliable online backup, it is of no use. The hard disk recovery, often sufficient in most cases, may run out of memory at one time or the either. There maybe irreparable damage to it during any online file sharing. This is why there is constant need of a data recovery hardware.

Van Halen-ish Trex Canopy

This is my latest paint job for my Trex 450 canopy. It's an easy design to accomplish, yet it has quite a bit of style in my opinion.
