Lightning is the most complete calendar for Thunderbird, the e-mail client of Mozilla Foundation. It’s very surprising that Lightning is not part of the basic aplication, but most people use this calendar (there aren’t no options).

It’s very easy to config this Calendar but in this case, the trick is install manually because Lightning doesn’t appear in the Add-ons search for Ubuntu 11.10 64bits. First download  Lightning for main repository (I have installed 1.3b1) and then Provider for Google Calendar that adds to Lighning the posibility to sync with google calendar.

The second step is open the add-on manager and go to tools icon and select install from file. And that’s it, just use in the calendar in the top menu (“Event and tasks”), configuration is trivial.

I was trying to install new Drupal 6 in dreamhost but when I insert the fileds with the datebase info and press next, the page simply reload. What’s happen? I hate when the errors say nothing.

Finally I found a solution and works with all recent versions of drupal (5 and 6) and all kind of hosting:

You need a copy of default.settings.php named settings.php in ./sites/default/ folder, but remember: Don’t delete or rename default.settings.php just keep it.

I have just dealing with ruby encoding, yes in 2010 the text file encoding is still a big problem. If you need to know all about that you will love te guy who wrote the best article about ruby encoding. Enjoy the hell!

If you use spotify and linux (with wine) and you try to follow a spotify link, an error appears. There are a couple of reasons: first, emulator is not the same as native software; second, firefox (or other browser) don’t know how to handle that link. There is a tutorial to fix that, but it’s not sure it will run; then I realize that exists an easiest way to do that, the manual way:

1. We have a link like this: http://open.spotify.com/user/colazo/playlist/2DUtzXeim668TieLZ8tNtk
2. This web contains the link to open automatically the spotify playlist (but it doesn’t work), then we copy the text of this link (the biggest text). In this case: spotify:user:colazo:playlist:2DUtzXeim668TieLZ8tNtk
3. Open spotify and paste it in the search box (on the top left)
4. Enjoy!

Its not as elegant as automatic but is by far more easy to do.

Hi all!

First post of this blog and not much to tell, only a story of the name of the blog. When I was a child, my aunt who lived in USA make me a gift: an english book (my first english book) and two small balls. The book was called “The hacky sack footbag”, I couldn’t understand english but I could understand graphics and photos, then I tryed to play with the balls but it was very difficult to me. When I come to internet my nickname was Sak, very similarity with the title, and the difficult to do hacks with the computer it’s very similar to my difficult to play that game. Years after the gift, I found a videogame California Games for Megadrive/Genesis that apears The hacky sack, then I realised the important of the game and finally I could play very good. With this blog I can share and learn more about hacking with computers and I hope this blog becames that videogame and I could play best.

PS: The title of the post is the ruby instruction to print the common hello world
