for all mac ruby devloper outside: http://www.macruby.org any opinions about it so far?

… just works!

Just download wuala from their homepage.
I just copied the contents of the archive to my NAS, started with ./wualacmd and… thats it.

Imagine: a NAS System with perfekt online mirroring … like a charme .

BTW:
I just changed some folders within the original Nexenta system.
Because i am using a 4GB Flash Drive as my boot drive, but a 2TB Pool as my file Storage, i made some hard-links:

/home/ -> /tank/home
/opt/ -> /tank/opt

where /tank is the mount point of my zfs-pool.

So after a long time i plan to give my counter-engine (^^) an update.
The main Problem is, that the counter itself was perfect for ~2000 counts. But now with 5000 count, the presentation of the results is just not readable anymore.
So i plan the following things to do during the next days (i hope i will finish this during tomorrow):

• using a new drawing method: instead of drawing the whole graph, i will draw just time-slices of a particular periode. So e.g. if you want to plot the current graph with this method, it would be necessary to draw 24 slices with a month periode.
• to get read of lots of code within the counter/presentation script, i want to use the build-in date-calculation functions of mysql.
  So e.g.
  SELECT something FROM `counts` WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 30 DAY) <= date_col;
  Should be perfect .
• To use this functions, i have to use the build-in datetime Datatype. At the moment i am storring all counts with a unix timestamp. To make the move, i have to do three steps:
  1. creating a new field: ALTER TABLE `counts` ADD `created` DATETIME NOT NULL;
  2. migrate the old dates: UPDATE `counts` SET created = from_unixtime(unixtime);
  3. finally i had to change to insert statement within the counter script:
     “INSERT INTO `counts` ( … user_string, created) VALUES … ‘”.$user_string.”‘, NOW()) “;

More next time…

I just created a Usergroup for experience exchange using Solaris as a Home-NAS System.
We have currently only a few users, but maybe the number will grow by time.

You can find the group here: https://www.xing.com/net/zfs-nas
