Jeff Russell's STARSHIP DIMENSIONS

I found this via a reference in the Star Tribune's "Web Search" column. I especially enjoyed the portion of one of the pages which showed the "Stay Puft Marhmallow Man" for a size reference, showing the proper level of silliness for this site.

Visiting CareLink Site on OS X Mavericks

Image
Here is a tip for people who fall into the same small category as myself. If you use a Medtronic insulin pump, use the CareLink site to store your pump history, use a Mac, and are running OS X Mavericks for a time - short , I hope - after I write this post, you will run into the problem that I ran into when I first attempted to upload my pump data after upgrading to Mavericks. You will get an error page stating, Unfortunately, the configuration of your PC or web browser is not compatible with our standard system requirements. This is because the only OS X versions supported are "MacOSX 10.5 (Intel), MacOSX 10.6/10.7/10.8". Unfortunately, Mavericks is version 10.9. Unlike the logic for the browser, which recognized that my Firefox 24.0 met the Firefox 5 requirement, the OS check does not appear to allow for future versions. The workaround that I am using, for now, is to use the Firefox User Agent Switcher plugin. After installing the plugin and restarting Firefo...

Using KeePass with Dropbox for Cross-Platform Password Management

Image
As I have been creating new accounts for myself on multiple websites in recent months, I have been taking lessons from the widely-reported story from August 2012 of how Gizmodo contributor Mat Honan's multiple accounts with shared passwords had been hacked . I have used different, lengthy passwords with multiple randomly-generated characters for each site. However, such lengthy passwords are impossible for me to remember, and I would not want to use the even less secure method of writing all of them down. I had heard multiple computer security experts recommend using such different, randomly-generated passwords and storing them in a password store which would require remembering only one master password. Ideally, for greater security, a key file would be used for the encrypted password store. In seeking out such a password store that was free, open source, and available across multiple platforms, I came across KeePass . The site's download page has the Windows download, as w...

Fixing "Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.62.dylib\n Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n Reason: image not found" after a php Update on a Mac

A few weeks ago, I discovered the Wordpress "Site Health Status" tool. I saw that it recommended upgrading my outdated version of php so, being a good "computer guy", I went ahead and did the upgrade. After the update, I found that I could not view my website. After digging around to remind myself about the sudo apachectl -k restart command, I got the error message httpd: Syntax error on line 183 of /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so into server: dlopen(/usr/local/opt/php@7.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.62.dylib\n Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so\n Reason: image not found Since I use the Homebrew package manager, I followed the advice to do a brew upgrade brew cleanup However, even after doing this, I found I still had the problem.
