Just tried an install of 2.77 LTS into a Centos 7 VM. When it started up, failed due to PXIX TLS error. Huh? On the plugin update. sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.build(SunCertPathBuilder.java:141) at sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.engineBuild(SunCertPathBuilder.java:126) at java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder.build(CertPathBuilder.java:280) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:382) Caused: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:387) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.engineValidate(PKIXValidator.java:292) […]

Time to update WordPress to 4.7.3. I used the SVN method. I was using an older version of SVN and required me to update the local checkout. $ svn upgrade Fine. Did it. $ svn sw https://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/4.7.3/ . svn: E155025: ‘svn switch’ does not support switching a working copy to a different repository svn: E155025: […]

Rhapsody, the long-suffering little brother streaming music service, recently rebranded itself as Napster. Same app, different name. Big deal. I noticed that I could not start the app with the great Launchy in my new Windows 10 install. Not sure if it worked in Windows 7. Looking at Properties of the launch shortcut, in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Rhapsody […]

Microsoft recently published ReST API guidelines on GitHub. They are worth reading over if you design ReST APIs. My Highlights: No limit on GET URL length Error response messages (consistency is the key; note the nesting of error info) Pagination: put the link for the next page into the response JSON. Interesting Delta queries: search, apply […]

Finally beat the July 28th deadline for upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10. Made backups with Macrium Reflect first.  Paid for that one, got rid of the perpetually flaky Acronis. Both machines (Intel Core Duo 2Ghz dual-core and old AMD dual core) upgraded successfully. AMD box slow, but it worked, with install apps and files in […]

I was messing around with the WiDi driver to stream the Grateful Dead show tonite and disabled the Intel Video driver. At this point, the machine started up, did POST, did the swirly page and then a blue dim (not BSOD) screen came up and nothing. HD activity, not much else.  Could NOT get safe […]

Looks like someone used my post on building svn on 1&1 hosting. I am such an AUTHORITY. I just wish I could figure out how to build 1.8 without running out of memory. Andy has some hints for 1.6. Fails for me. Well, 1.4 seems to still work enough to update WordPress. Good.

We use LinemanJS to automate the build process of various AngularJS projects. Two newer projects use the most excellent UI-router package, and I had some issues. The resolve section required manual protection for minification; ngmin, the automatic minify protector included with lineman-angular, did not handle resolves correctly. So this code: resolve: { liveConfig: function(ServerConfigService) { […]

I use IntelliJ IDEA on a Centos VM for AngularJS development at work, and I have a FileWatcher configured to compile the SCSS files from the designer into CSS when they change. It stopped working one day. After days of bad behaviour because I did not have the correct CSS, I compared configs. Mine looked […]

Given: Google Chrome, Dev Tools open, Console open. Paused at breakpoint. $scope.currentDb $scope.currentDb $scope.currentDbb $scope.currentDb Date.now() Nothing prints. Why? Give me a few hours. Finally, consider the log level selector bottom right of the console panel. Note the current selection is “Debug”. Click the “All” button. $scope.currentDbb undefined (should be) $scope.currentDb WebSource {dbName: “name”, dbIcon: […]
