Gammu on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Installing Gammu on Windows or major Linux distribution is very easy. There is binary distribution for it. But on Mac OS X it can make a little pain for end user like me. 😀


I use gammu 1.28. I was try some other newer version of gammu, but cannot compile it. You have to compile it using cmake(www.cmake.org). You can install cmake using binary distribution(dmg) or using brew.

You can read full tutorial installing gammu in here, complete with error solving. But i did not found error on installing gammu and i dont have to recompile it to use with MySQL.

Stuck on Checking Battery State

Yesterday, i’ve updated my desktop computer from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty to 11.10 Oneiric. But after system reboot, it stuck on “checking battery state”. After some googling, i’ve found a solution on a comment by Josh.C in here.

This issue was resolved for me by running the following command at a command prompt (ssh, or Ctrl+Alt+F1):

sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter

Apparently the upgrade didn’t bother to install the greeter for LightDM, so it fails to fully initialize.

 

And it’s works!! 🙂

Make Your Own URL Shortener

There are so many URL Shortener since Twitter became popular. The 140 character limitation makes a nightmare when someone want to share a long URL. So URL Shortener has been a solution. Twitter also have URL Shortener name http://t.co.

So, there are two option when you want to have your own URL Shortener, write it from scratch or just use (and or modify) open source URL Shortener out there. There are so many open source URL Shortener. And i’m using YOURLS.

The hardest part is searching for a short domain which is available. 😀

So, this is my URL Shortener: http://t.mbe.ms (spelled TEMBEMS or maybe same meaning with chubby in english.. err…CMIIW). But it’s not public. 🙂
