!!! Couldn't download 'openssl-c_rehash.sh%3frev=1.7'. Aborting.

This has already been reported as a bug – http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339027 which turned to out be an issue in the URI handling of Portage (bug – http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339051)

After reading the bug report and (out of band) ebuild, I took the following steps to fix:

  • download modified ebuild from http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=249098&action=view to /usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-1.0.0a-r3.ebuild
  • re-digest the ebuild
    • 1
    # ebuild /usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-1.0.0a-r3.ebuild digest

    That’s it all is well now. Hopefully this will be fixed in the mainstream soon.

Inscoe) http://ke3vin.org/blog/?p=825 According to Clark Howard this coming so-called “Black Friday” will be a good time to go shopping for a flat panel display. The good thing about flat panel displays these days is they can connect to DVI or sometimes VGA from your computer with displays up to 1920 x 1080 in resolution, providing lots of video screen real estate especially for those doing video or graphic editing. 26-32 inch HD television displays at 16:9 display orientation are particularly good for this and often have multiple inputs for using more than one computer.

    Another useful thing about wide and larger displays is if you are like
    me and are challenged by the amount of physical desk space such you can only fit a single monitor (even if it is a big one) in then perhaps here is a solution for you.

    There is software in Microsoft Windows that allows you to split your screen up vertically or horizontally such as WinSplit or Acer GridVista. Couple that with using remote display software such as Logmein, Remote Desktop or mRemote and you can have displays going from several different computers on the network all in one screen. Nice!

Inscoe) http://ke3vin.org/blog/?p=488 Ok I really cannot budget such a thing right now but I went to B&N (Altamonte Mall) Friday and talked with a Nook evangelist (a steampunker BTW he was talking about downloading Jules Verne from the public domain sites for research on steampunk models). He practically had me sold on it. Not only will it (unlike the Kindle) display the PDF versions it will also support the old Palm pdb file format (of which I have a bunch) as well as the emerging epub standard. You can “load” (their term) books to another Nook user or even another B&N supported device like my Touch. Oh also you can buy or download books now through B&N app on the iPhone and they can be transferred to the Nook later. It will not read (audio) books like the Kindle (guys says B&N is afraid of lawsuits that happened to Amazon) which is a bummer but it does support mp3 (no ogg) player.And like the Kindle you do get ubiquitous and free (but feature limited) 3G wireless access and free wifi in all B&N stores (one of my pet peeves about B&N and Books a Million for that matter). And it has a bay for a Micro SD or SDHC card and the (are you hearing me Apple??) battery is replaceable. Like the Kindle you get a USB cable. I am frankly sold however there are now so many rumors of even more open ebook readers appearing on the market I may just wait a bit but if I had to choose the Nook would definitely be my choice. Unfortunately the stores don’t have demo units till the 30th like everyone else. B&N says they are surprised at the interest and was not prepared. Guys recommends pre-ordering in order to get before Christmas let alone Nov. 30th but that may be hype.

Inscoe) http://ke3vin.org/blog/?p=473 These are observations I have made since the middle of last year and have been added to in my head since March 2009. I decided last night to finally write them down. I will add to these as a wiki article as time goes on.

    Because of the internet (or technology): Newspapers, music biz,
    software development (cloud and web based mostly), radio broadcasts (television to come much later),

    Because of NAFTA, global trade (imbalances and tariffs):
    manufacturing, trucking, shipping, produce, farming, floral, tree
    farms, manufacturing (electronic test included),

    Because of over building and sub prime lending: real estate, housing, construction,

    Because of GM foods and Monsanta: migrancy, family farms, food selection, grocers,

    Because of shifts in culture and population centers heading into
    cities: automobiles,

    Because of emergence of digital over analog: engineers,
    mathematicians, higher math,

    Because of obsolescence: mainframe, old and legacy technologies

    Because of the economy: IT, managers (too many who generalize or not enough who specialized in the “Thing of the Month”(tm) (today and right now)

    Because of an aging work force: teenage jobs

    Because of mega corporations and large scale mergers: competition and most importantly choice.

    Things in demand:

    Because of aging: health care workers, insurance industry

    Because of world politics: DHS, NSA, CIA, intel analysts, spies, government workers, defense spending (small arms and intelligence more so than munitions or rockets)

    Because of complicated B2B relationships: knowledge workers, PMP, PMI, managers and process laden people (as opposed to so much
    technologists).

    Because of networking emergence: network engineers, installers,
    wireless installers, broad band communications tech, cellular techs,

    soo… what do you tell a young person what to go for these days?
