This website shows bunch of iPhone apps that are featured in TechCrunch. Top 25 apps on App Store is usually filled by games but those are not very attractive to me. TechCrunch writes about iPhone apps which were made by brand new startups, and I like to check them out. So, to check those apps easily here’s this website.

Hope it saves educators’ research time. I’ve tried to find school/teacher name, location, grade, subject, tools and data/feedback for each example. Some cells are still blank. Please let me know if you’d like to edit. I’ll give you editor permission.

The below researches does not only cover Flipped Classroom, but I thought useful.

% sudo yum remove mongo-stable-20110131-mongodb_1
% vi /etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo
% cat /etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo
[10gen]
name=10gen Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64
gpgcheck=0
% sudo yum install mongo-10gen-server

When I tried to yum update mongo-stable, got conflict error “Error: mongo18-10gen conflicts with mongo-10gen”. I also needed to rewrite yum repository since my old config pointed at baseurl=http://downloads.mongodb.org/distros/centos/5.4/os/x86_64/.

It seems epel repository has mongodb package, when you “yum search mongo” you’ll probably find mongodb package aside from mongo-10gen which is a bit confusing.

I got this error with Firefox 8 (beta channel). With 7.0.1 which is the stable version, works well.

On this article it uses Celerity, but it gets the below error:

% HEADLESS=1 cucumber
Celerity only works on JRuby at the moment. (RuntimeError)

Actually his source code looks different from his original one on the article. I couldn’t find Celerity in the latest codes.

I’m still exploring.

Upgrade to 3.6RC4 from 3.5 took some time and downgrade as well.

In my experience, people update their bio when something big happened. I’m following more than 100 people and to be honest, I check quite rarely. But I would like to know their big updates like started a new company, moved to somewhere or found another hobby. So, Grabio is here.

It is a dead simple application, just signup with Twitter account and enter your email address. You won’t get more than an email per a day. The contents of notifications would look like an output of ‘diff’ command.
