How do you manage your dwm patches?

I use a mostly vanilla dwm from abs. I just tell it to use urxvt instead and set that hints thing to false. I just tried to go through suckless's mercurial patching tutorial, but I never use mercurial, so it's kind of... i'm not sure what's going on. I want to start adding some of the more complex patches, but I don't want all my work blown away every time I update

Honestly, I got tired of messing around with all the patches a while ago and switched to dwm-sprinkles. It has a lot of layouts I don't use and that sort of thing, but its nice to know its all there if I need to do something unexpected. I started with vanilla dwm and decided I needed bottomstack because I don't have a nice roomy widescreen. After that I kept piling crap on, and eventually realized it was just easier to use sprinkles and deal with being a week or so late on new versions.
Even with all of the crap sprinkles has patched in, its only an extra few hundred lines of code I believe. So you're not straying too far from the principles behind DWM. Only issue I've had is that in the last version, it would crash on my laptop any time I switched to bottom-stack on an empty desktop and then tried to open a term. I think it stopped after the latest version.
As for keeping track of everything, my config is pretty much set in stone - I just alter the exceptions stuff a little differently for each of my machines since they run different programs. I keep a copy of my current config.h-laptop and config.h-desktop backed up on my local server so that if I need to reinstall or something goes wrong its just a quick svn co to grab a new copy of sprinkles, scp one of my configs over, and then compile.

How do you manage your passwords ?

How do you guys manage your passwords ?
Do you guys use a password manager ? If yes, what one ? If not, what do you do to 'remember' all your passwords ?
Last edited by Athunye (2010-09-15 14:29:37)

as far as how i manage them, i have a small spiral bound notebook with some templates that only i know how to decrypt. something related to the password and then i'll know what it is. and as far as what they go to, i scribble something next to them like "rome", which is big and important like my root drive. (an example).
but as far as the actual password, mine are usually a line of a frequently read poem, lyrics or quote, etc. an example would be:
"To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead." -Samuel Butler
turns into:
!H_#(%=?m+t4i6@D-&?cN+7?>2
if you examine it with the right mind-set it makes sense. most commonly the last two characters if you're familiar with shell (which is what i mix in sometimes). other passwords are more lisp-like or lua-like than not, or not at all, depending on the website and if i decide to mix it in there (short-hand-ish, mind you)

Analysis Paralysis: How do YOU manage your media projects?

How do YOU successfully manage your media for various projects and select portfolio work? Mine has become a quivering dysfunctional mess over the past two decades!
Goals are to:
- permanently link to InDesign portfolio documents
- display by project on iPhone and iPad without internet connection (ideally in Photos which is a nice feature currently)
- be used for web pages (resizing ability of high res files)
- easy retrieval of ALL project photos and selection of CHOICE photos.
- better (simpler and more effective) importing methods and file management
- no more duplicates
- utilize Dropbox or Box auto-uploads of iOS pictures (not essential but desirable)
I want to love iPhoto (11), and I've been using it in various iterations since its inception. Due to numerous advances, other automated methods of dealing with media, and continual poor judgement, I now enjoy a COMPLETE MESS of media, with 14 gig of duplicates, triplicates, and quadruplicates scattered throughout an SSD drive. Not only am I running out of space, links to my InDesign portfolio (which is essential for client presentations) are continually broken every time I open it.
Thus, I'm considering exporting all my iPhoto images (5,000+) and starting over. Not trivial, but seems necessary—but want to do this right! Either with iPhoto, or anything better. Inherently, I distrust iPhoto's method of filing since finding things later via a Finder search is impossible, unless the file is named.
Any guidance is welcomed. Especially file management. How do you deal with ALL project photos and then CHOICE photos for a portfolio. Do you put them in one dedicated folder with sub folders, or are they located in separate project folders, with their own folder. Do you copy into iPhoto, or link (which has been a nightmare in the past).
Have you found something that works?!?! Any and all references to articles or your own methods is welcomed!

Yoüf
You write
A) Whether iPhoto is currently stable, reliable, and adequate to entrust portfolio work for a design professional? (you suggest no, but some might ask, "why not?")
B) If not, what are better methods for media management that offer some of the nice benefits of iPhoto
Could this be of any help :
Photo Programs: I'm generally loath to recommend specific software, but some of the programs mentioned in these articles include:
Breezebrowser (Windows) www.breezesys.com a commercial thumbnail viewing program that I use for many jobs, including batch entry of IPTC data and batch resizing of images (of note, it is not a photo editor, I have it linked to Adobe Photoshop for editing).
XnView (Windows) or XnViewMP (Window/Linux/mac) www.xnview.com a freeware program very similar to Breezebrowser with full IPTC/XMP implementation.
Zoner Photo Studio (Windows) free.zoner.com is another IPTC/XMP compliant thumbnail program with many capabilities, with both free and paid (more features) versions.
Adobe Photoshop (Windows/mac) (www.adobe.com) is generally considered the premier photo editing program. It's very expensive and for most users the much less expensive Adobe Photoshop Elements is all that is needed.
NOTE: Adobe has released all their CS2 software as freeware - this includes the full version of Photoshop. While a few versions old, it would be a good starting point to learn Photoshop if you don't have it or Photoshop Elements on your computer. You can download it fromwww.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/
Irfanview (Windows) www.irfanview.com is notable both because it's a good photo editing program and it's free.
Picasa (Windows/Linux/mac) picasa.google.com is a good photo organizer program, easy to use and free

How do you manage your storage

No idea what you mean by "manage my storage".

How do you manage your customised images?

Both a discussion and a question really.
Lets say you run a build and capture, and have a reference image that is being used in a task sequence, then at some point afterwards you want to make an update to the reference image.
Do you:
-Import the new reference image it as a new OS image in SCCM and change your TS to point at the image?
-Overwrite the wim in the file structure and redistribute the content?
-Point the data source within the OS image section of SCCM to the new wim?
-Some other method?

I use a "Golden Image" approach. The only thing that goes into my image are the updates and they are installed using offline servicing. I never have to add a new image or worry about doing any build and captures. The apps required by the business are installed
during the TS. It keeps things real simple and streamlined for me.
The benefit to this is, all your applications and updates should be managed on the Application side. The application is the authoritative source. Putting them into the image adds complexity.
For example: Say you had "Software A v1.0". You create the application, it has it's dependencies, requirements etc... You deploy it to all current machines in your environment and all newly imaged machines. Now all of a sudden SP1 comes with this application
but it isn't a full build, it's only an update to be applied with the software.
Software ON the image: All you have to do is build your new application that installs the SP, set the original as the dependency and then update the DP's. From here you can target not only existing installs but new machines that are built, in one swift
move. (As is designed and intended with the Application model)
Software ON the image: You have to do everything in the first step as you want to update all of your versions in your environment to be standardized. But then you have to rebuild a new image with the software, store in your software source folder for SCCM.
Import the new image file retaining the old one for roll back measures should something be wrong. Copy your TS so you can test the image with it without interrupting Production. Test the change, I assume you wouldn't just roll a new image out. Place your change
control and move get rid of TS 1.0 and only Present TS 2.0
To me it's counter-intuitive to what was designed. But everyone has their choice.

how do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

Are you talking about photos that were synced to your phone? If so, the photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to extract these photos from your phone, you'll have to use third-party software to do so. Note: photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?

How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?
We are involved in discussions/debate as to where RequestCenter/Request Management falls in the organization.
Some feel that building services in RC constitutes development and thus should fall under the companies development organization and be managed as such (e.g. Code Management, Version Control, Code Migration Policies, Separation of Duties etc.). Others feel it is not development and fits in the engineering/operations side of the house and managed accordingly.
We are currently managing RC/Request Management in our engineering/operations side of the house. Most of the team do not have “hard core” development backgrounds and are doing quite well with the product, although a little development knowledge does help.
From the newScale website – “Active Form Components: For an actionable Service Catalog with streamlined request fulfillment, end users must be able to easily request services using an intuitive and interactive online form. With the new active form components feature, service designers can quickly create and update complex interactive form elements that can be re-used throughout the catalog without any programming required.”
I would be interested to know how your company is managing your installation of RC in your organization.

I see RC as falling in the operations side of the organization, and that's how we'll likely develop support for the service. We're new to implementing the product, so I can't give any advice on past experience, just my vision for the product and how we might develop and roll services out to the organization.

How do you change your apple id on your iphone 5

how do you change your apple id on your iphone 5. I also increased storage and cannot update to latest software upgrade! ANNOYING!!!!
Yes, I logged in and out of the Ap Store and it is correct on that end. I have signed in on my PC too and connected cell. I am out of tactics to resolve! Please help!

If your phone is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it to an updated version of the old ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How do you read your favorite feeds?

Hi! This is my very first post on Arch forums.
I'm wondering about how do you read your favorite feeds? Which software do you use and why (what kind of features).
I'm more interested in finding a little software that uses the system tray.
Yet I'm also curious about just how does, those who utilize RSS, do it.
Personally I've used YARSSR, which is exactly what I want, except for few problems..
On Ubuntu it used to be as easy as make, make install (having build-essenial installed). On Debian 4.0 stable it is in the stable repos, so it was even easier. On Arch it's not in any of the repos nor AUR and make, make install didn't work:
# yarssr
bash: yarssr: command not found
# /usr/local/bin/yarssr
Can't locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/yarssr /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/yarssr/Yarssr.pm line 3.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
I'd love to understand what's going on. How to install it right.
Anyhow, it's far from perfect anyway. It's the single thing that is not working so perfectly on my Debian as it should. Uses way too much CPU, sometimes stays trying to update and never does update nor allow forced updates, no quitting, etc..
I also use Google Reader, which is great to read many feeds and manage them, etc.
All I want is a little applet (maybe GNOME applet?) that gives me quick glimpse of my top favorite feeds, without using my browser nor launching a full-functional aggregator.

Hi James.
I'd like to know how you want to read your news
i'd prefer a cli frontend, web front would be bonus (river of news style).
snownews is good, just needs a few tweaks, some ui ones, and the main one being:
often i dont get to read news for a few days straight, so i'd like something i can put in cron and it'll update, and log the news for a few days straight, so when i get back it's all there. this generally limits me to one of the web clients, i dont know any desktop apps that do this.
i might write up an app to do this someday
as for your yassr problem, pacman -S gnome-perl?

How do you get your photos in to different photo albums?

How do you get your photos into different photo albums on a i phone 4

If you are willing to manage your photos in iPhoto and transfer the albums you create in iPhoto to your iPhone (using iTunes), I think you will find that an easy solution is available.
In iPhoto, locate the image that you want to insert into an album (or albums); for example, you may locate the image in an event, or it may be in one or more "Faces" categories, or it may already be in an album, etc. Then, drag the image into any album. Repeat to insert the image into other albums.
I may have misunderstood your question, or the above may not provide what you're looking for, so post again if need be.
