Sproutcore calendar component


I've realized a calendar component for sproutcore.
It's at https://github.com/unicolet/stuff-I-m-proud-of . It could use some improvement, particularly with regard to layout but it's already pretty solid and usable.

Mirth: recover space when mirthdb grows out of control

I was recently asked to recover a mirth instance whose embedded database had grown to fill all available space so this is just a note-to-self kind of post. Btw: the recovery, depending on db size and disk speed, is going to take long. The problem A 1.8 Mirth Connect instance was started, then forgotten (well neglected, actually). The user also forgot to setup pruning so the messages filled the embedded Derby database until it grew to fill all the available space on the disk. The SO is linux. The solution First of all: free some disk space so that the database can be started in embedded mode from the cli. You can also copy the whole mirth install to another server if you cannot free space. Depending on db size you will need a corresponding amount of space: in my case a 5GB db required around 2GB to start, process logs and then store the temp files during shrinking. Then open a shell as the user that mirth runs as (you're not running it as root, are you?) and cd in...

1/4/2000 to 1/4/2025: the beginning

Today April, 1st 2025 marks the 25 years anniversary (quarter of a century sounds more impressive, doesn't it?) working professionally in ICT. My first working day as an ICT professional was on April 1st 2000. I had just graduated from uni (literally the week before) and one of the profs offered me a position at this company. The daily commute over bus and train was about one hour and a half, but I got to work on something really fancy: writing a c-shell script to daily sync data over ftp from an Oracle 7 database running on AIX (looked a lot like this one ) to a Bull mainframe. Development occurrent from a Windows NT4 workstation over telnet (I think). c-shell was a b1tḉh to work with and vim wasn't available (only vi IIRC) so my productivity wasn't great but I got it done and it ran until one of the two system (AIX) was eventually decommissioned. The AIX system might still be in the basement at my $OLDJOB. After that I moved on to more interesting e...

From 0 to ZFS replication in 5m with syncoid

The ZFS filesystem has many features that once you try them you can never go back. One of the lesser known is probably the support for replicating a zfs filesystem by sending the changes over the network with zfs send/receive. Technically the filesystem changes don't even need to be sent over a network: you could as well dump them on a removable disk, then receive  from the same removable disk.
