The Pragmatic Bookshelf | The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference

Uncover surprises, risks, and potentially serious bugs with exploratory testing. Rather than designing all tests in advance, explorers design and execute small, rapid experiments, using what they learned from the last little experiment to inform the next. Learn essential skills of a master explorer, including how to analyze software to discover key points of vulnerability, how to design experiments on the fly, how to hone your observation skills, and how to focus your efforts.

Dynamic Kernel Module Support - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently VirtualBox (in the old days?! 2003) Linux guests needed that package installed. And also "kernel-source" and "kernel-syms".

Looks like it's a little outdated in 2013.

virtualbox.org • View topic - host-only networking -- default route?

I had started with the "NAT" networking approach, but I soon got aware of its restrictions. So I started exploring other options. But I got stuck with my now favoured approach ("host-only", but the name is a little misleading), so I am trying to find the answer in the community.

Mini DisplayPort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

With a suitable adapter, Mini DisplayPort may be used to drive displays with a VGA, DVI or HDMI interface.

VirtualBox VMs for Developers

This one looks particularly well-suited for excercising your Oracle DB skills:

Database App Development VM

It includes: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition.

This pre-built VM gets you around the hassle of setting up that beast

on your OS,
or even worse: under an OS derivate that you are not perfectly familiar with,
or somewhere, where you simply don't want to have it.

I would certainly love to make use of this DB server from within the VM host or other VM sibling guests.

Cvs - Object oriented interface to the CVS command - metacpan.org

It also has a nice module_list method. I would love to know, how to that on the command line outside this module.

The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Programming Ruby 1.9 & 2.0

This short film for this tune by Laid Back made me hot for skydiving after 1989. I assume, it got shown a lot then on MTV.

"Sagabona (resp. Sawubona) – kunjani – wena" = "Hello, how are you?" in the Zulu language. (Here you can find a forum thread in german on that sentence.)

I was quite astonished to find Lars von Trier as director for the short film in its credits.

We achieve that enquiry using the below recipe.

The (files and) directories below the project root are called projects.

Now here is the recipe:

# First check out (non-recursively, i.e. "locally" (= "-l"))
# the root "project" of the repository (i.e. ".")
# to some auxiliary location (e.g. Temp, CAVEAT: checkout's "-d" does not take absolute pathnames),
# so we have the necessary metadata in CVS/:
$ cd ~/cvswork
$ cvs -d ROOTDIR checkout -l -d Temp .

# Then simulate an "update with directories only" of that folder:
$ cd ~/cvswork/Temp
$ cvs -n update -d # create directories / dry run

You may want to get rid of that auxiliary location again; I personally keep ~/cvswork/Temp "permanently", so I can always run the above "cvs -n update -d" in there.

It is a simulated update of the repository root.

I got this recipe from here.

Time Stamps - GNU Emacs Manual

I actually think, I already bookmarked this recipe on my blog a while ago, but I cannot find it.

Blog: Translating English…

Well, it always helps to properly understand English. Don't put the blame on the native speakers but on your own language deficiencies!

Learning from jQuery:

If you’re comfortable with jQuery but a bit shaky with JavaScript, this concise guide will help you expand your knowledge of the language—especially the code that jQuery covers up for you. Many jQuery devotees write as little code as possible, but with some JavaScript under your belt, you can prevent errors, reduce overhead, and make your application code more efficient.

Agile Data:

With this hands-on book, you’ll learn a flexible toolset and methodology for building effective analytics applications. Agile Data shows you how to create an environment for exploring data, using lightweight tools such as Ruby, Python, Apache Pig, and the D3.js (Data-Driven Documents) JavaScript library. You’ll learn an iterative approach that allows you to quickly change the kind of analysis you’re doing, as you discover what the data is telling you.

The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Pragmatic Version Control using CVS

A customer of mine still uses CVS, I would love to own this PDF e-book; I asked them on the forum on that book [Link], whether there is a way to get the e-book [Link]. Update: I got it as a gift from them.

You can find the paper book on Amazon Marketplace as used book and also on eBay for awfully little money.

I really love the recipes in appendix A.2.

3D plot using gnuplot

Master all the ins and outs of gnuplot using Packt's new cookbook: gnuplot is the world's finest technical plotting software that can generate two- and three-dimensional plots of functions, data, and data fits. It was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses such as web scripting.

My special challenge with this word is the "g".

analysis - Wiktionary
The emphasis is either on the 2nd or on the 1st syllable.

I would still love to have a 17" display, but apparently they don't want to resp. cannot offer this (for the time being).
Of course I would love to have as much RAM as possible (esp. for running my Windows and the opensuse GUI virtual machines), but apparently the difference between 8 and 16 GB RAM is just usury ("daylight robbery").
I think, a 256 GB will do, I don't want to store many huge files long-term, and (the price for) the difference between the 256 and the 512 GB SSD is also quite impressive.

conrad.de offers this spec for € 2050. Apparently you can get that cheaper on eBay, but I need a bill with explicit VAT, that I can use company accounting-wise. The advantage with conrad.de is actually, that they offer 3-years warranties for free for customers holding a conrad customer card. Maybe these warranties don't cover Apple hardware though?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_Rossellini
the list of her films on IMDb (i.e. with her as director) [Link]

My Saturday evening "Isabella Rossellini" series of short films at the Delphi. I really, really liked them. Actually they came in 2 sequences, with a break in between, and it took them like more then half an hour to solve the trouble with starting the 2nd sequence, and that was somehow annyoing. But it is a big, big pleasure to experience Isabella Rossellini on stage (here: for the Q+A). She is a rather, rather, rather entertaining and lovely person. They say, you can watch here short films on Youtube.

My Sunday morning movie at Schaperstraße.
I guess, that was my 1st russian film ever at the Berlinale.

summary

I go there because it comes in a package with the "Isabella Rossellini" film afterwards (both at the Delphi). Maybe it is nice anyway.

Will I make it into the presentation at the Delphi again? I would rather like to, I think. Yes, I did.

What Paulo (a mercenary and killer by profession) had to tell about his life was rather shocking, but he mostly presented it in a bragging style.

The album (12 tracks) is available on various music shopping portals for between € 10 and 10.50:

mp3.saturn.de
amazon.de (lowest price!! € 10 for the entire album. 2013-03-05: I purchased it there.)

I Used to Be Darker

Maybe my Friday evening entertainment. Yes, I actually managed to get hold on a ticket. Some friend of people attending the film dropped out, and they sold the ticket on the stairs to the Delphi movie theatre. Lucky me! I rather liked the film.
There will be a related party tomorrow night at the Schokoladen (Ackerstraße). But you will have to present your ticket for the film.
