Guia Mostoles

Uncategorized 1 Comment »

Finally, after some cleanup, we’ve launched Guia Mostoles the first in a saga of local services guide. It’s simple, and it’s clean (I hope!). Still we have some missing features, like registrations, votes, and so on, it’s just a first step we had to take.

Access denied for user ‘debian-sys-maint’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

web development No Comments »

I’m doing bing changes in my servers, and moving some mysql data stores (/var/lib/mysql/*) I’ve found the following errors on debian:

Access denied for user ‘debian-sys-maint’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

That’s because debian has a mysql account for switching on/off and checking mysql status, and mysql password for that user “debian-sys-maint” should be the same stored in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

Using your root user ony mysql you can chage the password to make it match this way:

sh# mysql -u root -p

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘debian-sys-maint’@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘<<<password>>>’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

Installing cherokee 0.8.0 from subversion

web development No Comments »


Cherokee 0.8.0 web server will hit the streets soon, and I really want to migrate all my domains running in apache to cherokee (my server load has gone too high).

Here are the steps to install cherokee on a clean debian 4.0:


# cd /usr/src
# apt-get update
# apt-get install make subversion automake autoconf gcc pcre-dev libssl-dev libtool libpcre3-dev python
# svn co svn://svn.cherokee-project.com/cherokee/trunk cherokee-trunk
# cd cherokee-trunk
# ./autogen.sh --localstatedir=/var --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-wwwroot=/var/www
# make install

At this point you can run cherokee admin to setup your server: http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/admin.html

VHDL Coding Style (ACTEL guide)

embedded, technology, vhdl 1 Comment »

The last mont I’ve been working with Actel ProASIC 3 devices. They are powerful and cheap FPGA devices. Searching for some information on them I found this VHDL/Verilog coding style guide from Actel. It’s quite good, and helped me to remember all of my university classes I had in the past.

It covers Technology Independent coding (registers, shifts, input, output, mealy and moore state machines, etc…), and also Actel Specific (SRAM, FIFO, …)

This is the link, http://www.actel.com/documents/hdlcode_ug.pdf , but I’ll keep a local copy for historic record: VHDL Coding style guide (and verilog)

Microscope forum

biology, nature 3 Comments »

Not many people know about my interests in biology, I use to read about organic chemistry as a hobby, and I also love looking drops of water from my aquarium through my microscope (recently upgraded). It’s really increadible the big life diversity one can find in a simple drop of water, like small cities full of hubbub.

Thecamoeba, Centropixis aculeata

Because of my growing interest in biology and microscopy I’ve decided to start some microscopy forums: microscope forum. If you feel interested in such topics, please, feel free to join the community :-)

This is a picture of a thecamoeba from my aquarium. Some kind of ameba with a chitinous shell, you can think of it like a microscopic snail :-)
