Netbeans and Scala

I'm taking a look at Netbeans 6.0 with the new Scala plugin (http://blogtrader.org/page/dcaoyuan/entry/first_experimental_scala_supporting_for).  When I tried to build a HelloScala app, I received the error "Could not load definitions from resource scala/tools/ant/antlib.xml."

Setting SCALA_HOME in my environment variables appears to not work with Windows Netbeans 6.0 final and the Scala plugin.

Reinitialize a Deki Wiki

I've been messing around with a Deki wiki, and now I'm ready to start using it for real.  Here's how I set it back to its newly created state.

  1. cd /path/to/your/deki/wiki/root
  2. cd ./attachments
  3. rm -rf *
  4. mysql -u root -p
    1. use db-catalog-name-from-mindtouch.deki.startup.xml;
      1. Mine is deki-kleinfelter

Importing a MoinMoin Wiki into a Deki Wiki

I'm contemplating switching my wikis from MoinMoin to Deki.  In order to be able to do this, I need to import MoinMoin pages and attachments into Deki.

What my scripts will do:

Notes on Using Dekiwiki

Building from source hangs on a really big gmcs (C-sharp version of cc).  I edited the Makefile in src/Dekiservices to remove excess trailing whitespace on lines ending with backslash.



"My passwords" is not on the User Preferences screen for non-admin users.

Work-around: From your wiki root directory, edit includes/SpecialPreferences.php. At (or about) line 312, you'll see:

Creating a Second Instance of Dekiwiki (Better Method)

Here's a better method (better than my first method) for running a multiple wiki dekiwiki farm.  My first instance was wiki.kleinfelter.org (with DocumentRoot /usr/local/wikis/deki-wiki-hayes-kleinfelter.org) and my second will be wiki.kleinfelter.com (with DocumentRoot /usr/local/wikis/deki-wiki-hayes-kleinfelter.com).

My wikis run on the same physical host, but with different domain names.  Here's how I created my second instance.

SendTo Printer

From ghacks:

It is possible to add any printer to the Send To menu. To do this we have to open the SendTo folder which is located in Documents and Settings / userprofile / if you are using Windows XP and in the AppDate \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows folder if you are using Windows Vista.

Customizing a Dekiwiki Instance

  1. Change the site title (and the title of the home page) via Tools/Control Panel (log-in as the site administrator)

Creating a Second Instance of Dekiwiki

I'm evaluating Dekiwiki.  Since I run multiple wikis, if I convert one to Deki, I want to convert them all.  My wikis run on the same physical host, but with different domainnames.  Here's how I created my second instance.  (To create a 3rd instance, substitute "3" for the "2" in the appropriate lines.)

Before you start this procedure, you must have at least one instance of the "Hayes" release of Dekiwiki running on your Unix/Linux server.

Convert @mycingular Email Addresses to @att

Because AT&T acquired Cingular, anyone with an Blackberry email address of the form yourname@mycingular.blackberry.net, now has a new address of the form yourname@att.blackberry.net.  
The attached file can be used to convert all the email addresses in all the Contacts in your Outlook Contacts folder from mycingular addresses to att addresses.
