Useful Backups using python.

Posted in computers on April 10th, 2011 by Quilib – Be the first to comment

I came across a great backup method which can be accomplished by using python and the information is worth its weight in gold. If your a Linux user and worried about your backups a good simple solution which will work over any network nas inclusive is written below.

# Optional, log all events
LOG_FILE /home/quilib/logs/backup.log

# Optional, we try to mount this path first. Failures halt execution.
PRE_MOUNT /mnt/backup/

# Required, password and mount point for encrypted/decrypted file
# systems. The password can be in plaintext since this file is stored
# on an encrypted filesystem anyway. We aren’t going for paranoid.
ENCFS_PASSWORD AddYourOwnPasswordHere
ENCRYPTED_MOUNTPOINT /mnt/backup/desktop/
# This is where we will write files unencrypted. Must be empty, must
# not be mounted already.
DECRYPTED_MOUNTPOINT /mnt/encryptedbackup/

# Required, rsync flags.
RSYNC_FLAGS -CRa –delete

# Number of snapshots. Format: [type=,...] e.g. hourly=12,daily=7
SNAPSHOTS hourly=12,daily=7,weekly=2,monthly=1

# List of file paths to rsync. Any line that doesn’t contain a space is
# a file path. Paths can be filenames or directories. This is simply
# the argument passed to rsync. As a result, you can use rsync features
# like adding a “./” directory to tell rsync which components of the
# path to sync over.
/home/quilib/./.heartbeat
/home/quilib/./music/
/home/quilib/./money/
/home/quilib/./photos/

Hi folks and welcome to Quilib maybe you have been facing problems with resolving your permlinks within wordpress, the reason being is you need to edit your htaccess file. One must keep in mind the code for each setting is different fortunately you have me to work it out for you. And as a result of this I have written the code below for those of you facing problems.

For sites installed in root directory:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

And for sites installed in a subdirectory:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectory/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdirectory/index.php [L]

# END WordPress

If you wake up in the morning & the first thing you do is switch on your computer, you are reflecting signs of a computer geek check out cullest In some cases people are just as addictive in surfing the web. Perhaps you have the desire to check out places like musictab You may have have no preferable website however you like sites like Markable. I am a coding & script freak so sites like php.net keep me updated. A site which discusses such geeky topics is the peoples choice PC Repairs London.

Day saved by PC Repairs London

It was another red letter day down at IBM engineers department we had been over flowed with work and despite working our hearts out we seemed to be progressing very slowly, especially when it was compared with volume of work which was expected from us.

Late Night Internet Browsing using Firefox

The Late Night Internet Browsing using Firefox: I had have recently been checking out several browsers but the one which works best for me has to be Firefox. I like its layout and simplicity and flexibility. National/Homebuyers use Firefox too.

The Late Night Internet Browsing using Firefox is great as it’s generally reliable and if your a stockbroker and know about diskless clients then you can learn how to have countless tabs open without draining resources. Being a FORMER IBM PC Engineer in software and hardware as well as a modern Computer Repair engineer today in 2009 I understand the inns and out of such techniques.

I recall working for a man in St John’s wood who had underestimated my ability but never allowed me to prove how effective my understanding can be to benefit any stockbroker or marketer or person that relies on having many tabs open.

It really stinks when customer knows less than 5% of what you know then tries to tell you how to do your job yet still they have been stuck with the problem they could not fix which is the reason why they called for me services in the first place, yet when you arrive to put their problems right they begin to try and tell you what to do!

The Late Night Internet Browsing using Firefox I came across many engineers who have had to tackle this problem again and again. I clicked many links and came to the Customers

Spilt Coffee all over my PC

Posted in computers on November 3rd, 2009 by Quilib – Be the first to comment

Another rush day and as my sleep was short I overslept as I had another one of those dreams about the Secret Agency I guess it must be my recent interest to indulge in nostalgia by watching the old Men form Uncle videos which had perhaps encouraged the dreams making me oversleep. I was having my coffee really fast as I was off to meet my programming partner and the inevitable happened I Spilt Coffee all over my PC. Fortunately we have a great PC shop locally so help was at hand thanks to PC Repairs London. Usually a man in a rush always looks a lot older than his true age which hits an interesting point about make-up and good cloths, What good is it without looking after what we eat or the way we manage our life in general?
