Man, I seem to have quickly forgotten how painful the post-op recovery is after the block wears off. Funny, you’d think I’d have it all memorized the third time around… As expected, the block faded away after midnight (about 3 AM this morning) and the pain poured on soon after. Just for an idea of how long the block lasted, my surgery was at 9:50 AM yesterday. I may have compounded the pain by refusing to take Vicodin when I went to bed… Anyway, at 3 AM I woke up and I popped a couple ibuprofen to alleviate pain and swelling and another vistaril to alleviate the post-op effects from the general anesthesia. I’ve made it this far without a narcotic, so I’m sticking with ibuprofen the rest of the way.

I’m planning to replace my the LUKS MR11C 20 degree spot 6 volt 15 watt (7 H) bulb in my discontinued NiteRider Evolution Smart with one of these bulbs. It appears the new one could be a flood bulb, but its a fraction of the price of a spot bulb, so I’m willing to roll with it and report back.  Also, I was a little confused with the entire lighting system when the bulb was dead.  The NiteRider system still flashed the the first red LED and the third overall LED (green) from the right when the bulb was dead, but none of this was documented in the manual that shipped with the system.  The previous bulb was only about a year old, so I was skeptical the bulb was in fact broken…

If you’re like me and need to access file paths for files and folders and prefer to do it via a contextual menu item in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, these directions and screenshots should show you the essentials to get it working:

“Services” have taken over in Snow Leopard and you have complete control of them via System Preferences->Keyboard. If you want to add a new Service to allow you to right click on a file in the Finder and place its file path to the clipboard, fire up Automator and configure it as this screen shot shows and save it as a “Service”. Here’s the code for copying and pasting into Automator:

set itemPath to “”
set uPath to “”
tell application “Finder”
activate
set itemPath to selection as string
set uPath to POSIX path of itemPath
set the clipboard to uPath
end tell

I helped my old boss with this problem today. His spam wasn’t getting kicked out of his inbox and the red indicator for the Mail.app icon in the Dock was not indicating the presence of new messages… First, we booted into single user mode and repaired permissions. Next, we backed up his entire Mail folder… Finally, we quit Mail.app, trashed this file: /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistand then we logged out and logged back in to the machine. Nice.

OK. No more fooling around this year. After a few years of riding to work, I’m no longer tolerating cold feet (ok, usually just the toes). I’ve triedtoo many things without success: chemical packs, wool socks, neoprene booties, Burley overshoes, two pairs of socks, pre-warming of shoes, plastic bags, etc. Nothing seemed to help. After reading a few forums on the web, it appears that bicyclists in colder climates have had good luck with battery powered heaters from two manufacturers, Hotronic and Therm-ic. More specifically, I narrowed my search down to a couple models, the M3 from Hotronic and the Max+ from Therm-ic. I perused the web looking for the best prices, typically $179 for for the M3’s and about $119 for the Max+, but the cheapest price was in my backyard. Joe’s Sporting Goods in St. Paul had a tent sale with 20% off their list price for both models ($165 for the M3’s and $140 for the Max+). Since the M3’s came with insoles, I opted for the Hotronic model. The M3’s have 4 heat settings. I fooled around a little when I got ’em home and setting number 4 is too hot to touch after a couple seconds. I’m impressed, but I’ll report back more later, like how they perform when it gets down to -10 F.

A couple times when I’ve used Time Machine on OS X Server to take the machine back in time to a previous state, my Spotlight index seems to get corrupted as searches on the machine reveal nothing. At this point, I have tried erasing the Spotlight index using the command line, but I hit a dead-end here too:

[toughguy@schwie]% sudo mdutil -i off /Password:/:        No index.[toughguy@schwie]% sudo mdutil -E //:        No index.

The fix for me was to complete the following steps:

1. Disable Spotlight in Terminal.app with: sudo mdutil -i off / (somewhere along the line, Spotlight was disabled, despite the message above).
2. Delete contents of “/Library/Spotlight”.
3. Delete sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*.
4. Repair disk permissions on Mac OS X boot partition with Disk Utility.app.
5. Reboot machine.
6. Enable Spotlight in Terminal .app with: sudo mdutil -i on /.

Within a minute, the Spotlight icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen should begin pulsing to indicate that it has begun creating an index again. Woohoo!!!

I was having problems making a connection to a MySQL 5 database from CocoaMySQL, both running on Mac OS X Server 10.5. I fired up Terminal, punched in the following line of code:

sudo ln -s /var/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

and all was good.

** UPDATE 1/6/2017 **

Was having a similar problem under MacOS High Sierra Server.

Error 2002 [HY000]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ [2]

I opened Terminal and punched in the following lines of code:

mkdir /var/lib/mysql/
sudo ln -s /var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

All is good (again).

Argh…  I’ve got an iMac G5 in the office that, when booted in single user mode, is spitting out messages like:

AppleSMU : CallPFPerformer ‘platform-doorbell-ack-ff977ab0’ got NULL target !
AppleSMUsendMISC: doorBell in bad state !
0x00AppleSMU COMM ERROR – RETRYING AGAIN WITH IODELAYS…

I may get this into the Genius Bar @ an Apple Store today, but I’m fearing a dead logic board. I’ll report back… Anyone else seeing this? 

** Update **  Darn…  An archive and install fixed everything.  I should’ve tried booting off the Leopard DVD instead of horsing around with single user mode.  Doh… 

So, I started taking apart our KitchenAid refrigerator (Model #KSCS25FJSS) to figure out why the water spigot on the front stopped working. Years ago when we first installed the refrigerator, I broke the rules in the manual and tapped into a galvanized cast iron pipe. Today, using my trusty multimeter, I traced the issue back to the solenoid valve. Sears wanted $55 for the pesky thing, so I decided to take it apart (only 5 screws). I cleaned some gunk out of the inside and put it back in and everything is back to normal! Woohoo! Here’s a picture of the valve if you’re interested in what it looks like.

When I watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as a kid, I almost felt sorry for the geeky principal played by Ben Stein. Little did I know he was even more pathetic in real life. Don’t be fooled by his latest flick. Get the truth about Expelled before you go to the theatre. While you’re at it, pay tribute to David Bolinsky by watching his teaser displaying the inner workings of the cell on the internet rather than allowing Stein to spoof it.
