I listen to this about once every 4 months. Delia is a legend. Kind of crazy, but a legend.

My soundtrack for today. A great Adam Beyer mini-mix. So many great tracks in this one. I probably won't be able to get anything done other than jump around the studio. But if I add "jump around the studio" to my checklist I'll have been totally productive all day!

Pretty good roll-up on stealth35, but check the comments in http://blog.stealth35.com/2011/07/28/install-apc-on-osx-lion.html

if you don't already have pear installed...

Use 127.0.0.1 instead of locahost when trying to get phpmyadmin to connect to mysql on OSX Lion

Open config.inc.php and change

change $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ‘localhost’;

to 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ’127.0.0.1′;

I first found this fix posted at djangoapp.com and then a pretty solid description of why the issue exists by Rafael Luthiger over at ServerFault.

"MySQL will try to connect to the unix socket if you tell it to connect to "localhost". If you tell it to connect to 127.0.0.1 you are forcing it to connect to the network socket. So probably you have MySQL
configured to only listen to the network socket and not to the file system socket."

just run

sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

Michael Gracie has a great step-by-step over at his site.

Huh. You can turn Web Sharing on and off Turning on and off from the Terminal with

sudo /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -D WEBSHARING_ON

after using iTerm for years I finally started looking for something better. iTerm2 is a fork of iTerm so it remembers all your iTerm bookmarks etc. It also does all the fullscreening gloss-n-floss that OSX Lion supports.

Great documentary.

Psyched to be a part of this incredibly awesome line-up!

If you want to make giant posters, for say.... an OccupyWallStreet protest. Posterazor is an awesome little application. It's open source, easy to use and works on Windows, OSX, and Linux.

Also Rasterbator has a pretty great online wizard and the output looks much nicer (depending on your source image) than Posterazor but it has a 1MB upload limit. There is also a Windows version of Rasterbator, but nothing for Mac or Linux.

Sign-making and knit-in tonight starting 7:30 at the red tent library on the north lawn of city hall, temple street between spring & main. please join!! Bring foamcore, pens or paint, stencils, needles, hooks, yarn, or whatever other tools you use to craft!

Jen and I have had a number of conversations about what we are enjoying about Occupy Los Angeles and also things that are worrying us. The big worry is the energy fizzling out quickly even though we know so many people who already work so hard, and do an amazing job, at Living Wall Street Free.

The thing we kept coming back to was how to use the protest site as a place where longer-term strategies for Living Wall Street Free can be developed and advocated.

I think one of the challenges of keeping personal fires stoked and the media interested is to:

1) Make the protest site a place of inspiration and a place people actually want to go to repeatedly.
2) Make the protest site something people want to take pictures of and spread the word about.
3) Make the protest site an incubator for "living differently" where long term strategies for Living Wall Street Free are shared.

I'll throw out some ideas that are just rolling around in my head. Many of these could be pulled off with one folding table so they wouldn't be "spectacles" attracting police attention but they would be compelling enough for people to come down to check things out, encourage repeat visits and be cool and substantive enough to warrant positive media attention.
