Stand-alone Timepicker

Some guys requested stand-alone timepicker so I have been working on this. It is modified ui.datepicker.js script from jQuery UI.

There is no documentation yet, but you can check the demo page which includes the download link.

Go to the project page.

Example:

1. You create a polyline with opacity = 1.
2. This is you first polyline so the KMPolylineCounter = 1.
3. The constructor change the opacity using this formula:  opacity - (KMPolylineCounter + 1) / 10000
4. Opacity for our first polyline is now 0.9998. The change is so small that you wont see the difference.

With this solution you can identify your polyline using the opacity attribute even when all polylines are not drawn.

Note: Non-solid polylines only if drawing is performed using VML or SVG.

Check this examples:

new GPolyline.fromEncoded({
  color: "#0000ff",
  weight: "4",
  opacity: "0.8",
  points: "_gkxEv}|vNM]",
  levels: "PP",
  zoomFactor: "2",
  numLevels: "18"
});

new GPolyline.fromEncoded({
  color: "#0000ff",
  weight: 4,
  opacity: 0.8,
  points: "_gkxEv}|vNM]",
  levels: "PP",
  zoomFactor: 2,
  numLevels: 18
});

They look the same but the first one has numeric strings. I did some testing and value of the weight attribute is important!

If the value of the weight attribute is numeric string your polylines will randomly disappear.

I didn't know that this can be so different.

I want to share my experience with you and make a note to my self.

Every minute it checks for line like this

Feb  5 01:40:02 kyle sshd[939]: Failed password for root from 80.86.75.67 port 11807 ssh2

in the auth.log and grabs the IP address. If there is more than 3 failed logins from 1 IP address in one minute it is added to the firewall. I'm using the ipfw firewall.

// Both your server and this script must share the same timezone
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Bratislava');

// Get the last minute.
// We need this because when we run this script from the cron
// it starts at zero seconds and the log file will have not any entries.
$lastminute = mktime(date('G'), date('i') - 1);

// Get the lines with failed logins for last minute
$cmd  = '/usr/bin/more /var/log/auth.log | /usr/bin/grep "Failed password" | /usr/bin/grep "';
$cmd .= date('j H:i:', $lastminute).'"';
$output = shell_exec($cmd);

// Make the $output an array
$output = explode("\n", $output);

// Array of IPs that you do not want to block
$ignore = array('127.0.0.1');

// This array will hold IPs with failed logins
$ips    = array();

// Get and count IPs
foreach ($output as $line) {
  $line = trim($line);
  preg_match_all('/[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]{1,3}){3}/', $line, $matches);

  foreach ($matches[0] as $ip) {
    if (!isset($ips[$ip])) {
      $ips[$ip] = 1;
    } else {
      $ips[$ip]++;
    }
  }
}

// Block IPs
foreach ($ips as $ip => $count) {
  if ($count > 3 && !in_array($ip, $ignore)) {
    $data = "/sbin/ipfw -q add 20000 deny log all from {$ip} to me";
    file_put_contents('/etc/ipfw-dynamic.rules',$data, FILE_APPEND);
    shell_exec($data);
  }
}

Put this script to cron and set it to start every minute.

I will not change my country just because Google doesn't know how to handle languages.

And I am still not sure if it will help.

When I cleared all cookies I go to www.google.com and get www.google.sk. Why?? I was not logged in to my Google account. How they know that I might want sk version which I really don't want when I have set all to English. (Well I know that my IP address tells Google I am in Slovakia.) When I type www.google.com I want www.google.com and not the sk version! When I will want sk version I will type www.google.sk!

Till Google doesn't learn how to read my mind I suggest Google to get me what I requested instead of what Google think that I might want!

I'm using the trial version of Zend Studio 5.5 and I think I will buy it soon. It's the best PHP IDE that I've tried. Who knows the PHP better than the folks at Zend :-)

OK, let's start...

I assume that you have correctly installed xwindows and your favorite windows manager. I'm using Xorg 7.2 and KDE 3.5.7.

First we need to download the Zend Studio from Zend. If you are not already registered on Zend website, you will have to register. Only registered users can download products from their website.

I saved it to the /home/majlo/ZendStudio-5_5_0a.tar.gz. We need to unpack it and execute.

kevin# tar xzf ZendStudio-5_5_0a.tar.gz
kevin# sh ZendStudio-5_5_0.bin

We get an error that this binary type is not known. This is because we don't have installed Linux compatibility.

ELF binary type „0“ not known

We need to install linux base from ports.

kevin# cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4/
kevin# make install clean

This installation will also load linux module to the kernel. To load linux module on system start add this line to /etc/rc.conf.

linux_enable="YES"

Next attempt to start installation.

kevin# cd /home/majlo/
kevin# sh ZendStudio-5_5_0.bin

We get another error:

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location – find vma failed
'SWING' UI not supported by VM. Reverting to AWT.

We need linux xorg libraries.

kevin# cd /usr/ports/x11/linux-xorg-libs/
kevin# make install clean

OK. Now we can successfully start the installation wizard. I will install Zend Studio into /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.0.

kevin# cd /home/majlo/
kevin# sh ZendStudio-5_5_0.bin

When the installation finish we can start Zend Studio from /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.0/bin/ZDE but after the "Tip of the Day..." it stop responding and after few minutes it crash. This can be resolved by modification the ZDE file.

kevin# cd /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.0/bin/
kevin# mv ZDE ZDE.bak
kevin# cat ZDE.bak | sed 's/jitOnOrOff=on/jitOnOrOff=off/' > ZDE
kevin# chmod 755 ZDE

Now we can successfully start and use Zend Studio on FreeBSD. (It may take a while to load.)

kevin# ./ZDE

We now have running Zend Studio on FreeBSD. But I'm Slovak and I need to write Slovak national characters in Zend Studio and when I tried, it doesn't work. After spending days searching the Internet I've found that the solution is really simple. Just add this line to your ~/.cshrc file and reboot.

setenv LC_ALL sk_SK.ISO8859-2

We can now use Zend Studio on FreeBSD with Slovak keyboard :-)

What really speeded up the process of switching to FreeBSD is the lack of PHP function PDOStatement::nextRowset() on Windows. I'm developing projects in Zend Framework with Zend_Db component and I can't use all results from a stored procedures on MySQL.

In next few posts I'm going to write about FreeBSD as a desktop and how to run Zend Studio on FreeBSD which is not officially supported by Zend.

Thank you for reading my first post :-)
