My FSocial Network

Here is how my FNetwork looks like bellow The only observation I'm mostly strongly connected with coworkers , that means that i use the network for coworker notifications or maybe i'm workaholic :) I wish the visualisation was made with webgl

One way to run firebird pdo tests

Just to not forget how to run them i write here


TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=auto php -n ./run-tests.php ext/pdo_firebird
of course you can add username/password , db path
PDO_FIREBIRD_TEST_DSN='firebird:dbname=/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/employee.fdb'
PDO_FIREBIRD_TEST_USER='SYSDBA' PDO_FIREBIRD_TEST_PASS='masterkey'
TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=auto php -n ./run-tests.php ext/pdo_firebird
Saw it via comment section from pdo firebird driver documentation

wodim saved my day and wrote the xubuntu 64 bit iso at last

I had problems with burning dvds both with xfburn and with brasero too

One of the errors  was
SCSI error on write(0,16): [3 73 03] Power calibration area error

Another problem was that burn completed the writing in xfburn but when reading and checking the md5 for the dvd

dd bs=1M if=/dev/sr0 of=/tmp/iso
