On How to Avoid an Ear Full of Cider….
January 29, 2018 § 1 Comment
I was thinking about all the times I’ve agreed to do something, when I should have known better… this advice delivered by Marlon Brando came back to me.
Rule 1: Only get involved if it is clear and unambiguous what the project has to deliver.
Rule 2: Only get involved if what the project has to deliver is in writing, and agreed in writing.
Rule 3: Only get involved if the people who have agreed to the deliverables are the right people.
Rule 4: Only get involved if the deliverables are realistic, and that realism is documented and agreed.
Rule 5: Always recall the above clip, and ask… “does this project have an ear full of cider waiting for somebody at the end of it?”
Task Warrior Install
January 4, 2016 § Leave a comment
I had to reinstall Task Warrior in Ubuntu on AWS. Process below:
>wget https://taskwarrior.org/download/task-2.5.0.tar.gz
>tar xzvf task-2.5.0.tar.gz
>cd task-2.5.0
>cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .
>make
>sudo make install
The following dependencies had to be resolved first:
>sudo apt-get install cmake
>sudo apt-get install gnutls-bin
>sudo apt-get install libgnutls-dev
>sudo apt-get install uuid-de
The highest version of task installable from the default source was <2.5 which is the requirement for syncing with an external source.
Resetting the trial license ESX 6.0

The following resets the trial license in ESX 6.0
[root@ns3009753:~] rm -r /etc/vmware/license.cfg
[root@ns3009753:~] cp /etc/vmware/.#license.cfg /etc/vmware/license.cfg
[root@ns3009753:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa restart
I then needed to restart ESX to get it to work.
