Comment on Unit conversion from zsh by Jverstry

More unit conversion rates can be obtained from http://www.convert-kit.com by entering values. Temperatures are more complicated (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units_of_temperature). Implementation of these formulas can be verified by checking values at http://www.convert-kit.com/temperature.html.

Comment on Vmware vmplayer and kernel 2.6.32 by El Maquinas

Thank you very much.

This fix worked for me on VMPlayer 2.5.5.

Note: My venerable Pentium-M doesn’t has PAE so I cannot use 3.x or 4.x versions.

Hi, Chmouel. What’s the difference between the Admin role and KeystoneServiceAdmin role predefined in Keystone? Is the KeystoneServiceAdmin role just a subset of Admin role? If not , what is the KeystoneServiceAdmin role used for?

Comment on Backup with duplicity on Rackspace CloudFiles (including UK) script. by Vito Botta

Just a quick comment to say thanks

I have wasted a couple days trying to backup my servers using the same script but with S3, and it’s been a nightmare. Poor S3 performance both with uploads and downloads, and I was basically unable to fully test a restore consistently due to read timeouts etc. Disabling SSL transfer helped a little, but not much.

So I found this post and tried your version of the script after activating an account for Cloud Files. It’s so much better! UL/DL performance is better, and I seem to be able to reliably backup and restore without problems.

I am not sure of what went wrong with S3, but after two days I am happy to have found a better (for me) solution. The S3 region I was using is the one in Europe (Ireland), so perhaps it would be better with some other region if that one is having problems…dunno. Anyway. no longer an issue.

Thanks!

Comment on Upload to Rackspace Cloud Files in a shell script by Anonymous

Please let me know if you’re available for hire, we need to implement some kind of utility between a web app that runs classic ASP and Rackspace Cloud files. I’m envisioning a DLL that could be called from within the classic ASP code that replaces the VBscript fileSystemObject that we use now to manage files on the server. Thank you.
