Following along the Deploying Rails book, I stumbled immediately when vagrant up hung showing;

Waiting for VM to boot. This can take a few minutes.

even though the server in fact had booted ok.

I found a solution in the mailing list from a Stefano Pallica:

Boot in GUI mode:

config.vm.boot_mode = :gui

Login to the server when booted.

Edit /etc/rc.local and add the following before exit 0:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Worked for me.

In order to use netcfg for USB tethering, just configure it as a regular ethernet connection. The following worked for me, remember to modprobe usbnet.

CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='usb0'
IP='dhcp'

I got a new Samsung Galaxy Note today and after some trial and error I managed to root it.

I basicallly followed the instructions here with a few additions. I changed the binary in the runmelinux.sh to my system Android SDK adb, I added a udev rule for the phone:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8",OWNER="mahnve",MODE="0666"

and finally I needed to run sudo adb devices once before running runmelinux.sh

Migrating from my old phone using Titanium Backup now.

I published a new blog post today over at Valtech Labs in Swedish about the difference between the swedish words “agile” and “nimble” (lättrörlig). In short, while they once meant the same thing, agile has lost a lot of its meaning. Instead of trying to change things back, we should let agile mean whatever people think it means, and use a more descriptive word, like nimble, to describe the process we once called agile. Which of course means XP :).

I just managed to get this site to display properly in a mobile browser with media queries, which means I am now among the cool responsive design kids.

If you, like me, use Skeleton, it turns out that you shouldn’t forget this line in your head
