I'm Gideon Israel Dsouza. Check out my CV on Careers. (gidisrael-at-gmail-com)

I've been teaching myself programming since I was about 11.

I have the odd need to know how everything works and play with C#, Ruby, Perl, Haskell and Arduino. Check out my CPAN modules and my side project : http://www.tryperl.com

I will usually edit your question or answer if it's a huge block of unstructured text :)

Feb 24	comment	nslookup fails inside freebsd jail Thank you for your reply :) Yea I'm getting it installed with portmaster. What I mean't is, first I will do `portupgrade -NRFPP lang/perl5.14` on the host which will download on the host. I will then copy this file into the basejail created by qjail and then inside the jail I will do `pkg_add /path/to/file/downloaded/perl5.14.tgz` right?
Feb 24	comment	nslookup fails inside freebsd jail Also, doing a pkg_add -r portupgrade gives me : `Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/portup‌grade.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)` Ok, I guess I can install portupgrade with portmaster
Feb 24	comment	nslookup fails inside freebsd jail hey but how would I access the host from the jail? I would have to copy the package into the basejail first and then do `pkg_add` right?
Feb 24	comment	nslookup fails inside freebsd jail Yep. Double checked : `-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 70 Feb 24 03:14 resolv.conf`
Feb 24	comment	nslookup fails inside freebsd jail @ChrisS yes I did for all of them, the ones I created with ezjail and qjail.
Feb 11	comment	attempt to change ec2 instance type fails instance status check I tried with the same security group and then created a new security group and tried again. No luck. After it goes from pending to running, it `loading..` in the status checks column and then after a long time says `1/2 checks failed`. On the bottom of the dashboard I see `Status Checks => Instance Status Checks` And it says reachability problem, try rebooting .. (which I did)
Feb 10	comment	is it possible to install qemu inside linux ami on ec2? You solved your issue? This means it is possible to run qemu on ec2?
Jan 21	comment	how do I find out what part of my ec2 storage is ephemeral Ah nice. Didn't know that. No wonder I don't see any options.
Jan 20	comment	how do I find out what part of my ec2 storage is ephemeral I see. Thanks :)
Jan 20	comment	how do I find out what part of my ec2 storage is ephemeral Awesome. Thanks :) Whats all the `sysfs1`, `devpt` and what not.
Jan 12	comment	nginx server directive is not allowed here BAH! I was missing the `;` semicolon at the end of the include statement!!
Jan 12	comment	nginx server directive is not allowed here Should I just bunk this setup and try the one from here => Putting a config in `sites-enabled`. It's written for debian but I'm on amazon ec2 RHEL.
Jan 12	comment	nginx server directive is not allowed here where is the extra `{` ? I just moved `include` into the `http { }` block, which also has it's own `server {}` block. If I put the `include` inside the http block it gives me : `unexpected }` and removing it gives me a success :S
Jan 12	comment	nginx server directive is not allowed here Thanks for your reply. Tried this and various other combos. This gives me `unexpected "}" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:129 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed` My nginx.conf is filled with all those default comments and what nots.
Jan 12	comment	perl app on apache and cgi behaves terribly with 504 gateway timeouts Why the close votes? This is about my apache config and not about programming.
Jan 10	comment	ssh with cygwin for amazon ec2 gives permission denied (publickey) @val0x00ff the OP in that post has a problem with the path at which to store the `ssh_config`. I'm specifying the params in my command.
Jan 10	comment	ssh with cygwin for amazon ec2 gives permission denied (publickey) @rackandboneman but this is a file amazon generates, is it *nix specific? IOW you're saying I should generate a new key and check its format?
Jan 10	comment	ssh with cygwin for amazon ec2 gives permission denied (publickey) Hm. I've been accessing this instance from my mac mini regularly for a month now. I'm assuming if that was possibly then, then everything is fine on the linux machine?
Jan 9	comment	narrowing why server post from perl web app fails on ec2 Hey Joseph!I updated my question
Jan 9	comment	narrowing why server post from perl web app fails on ec2 Seems there was a small bug with code I wrote to detect the response code from my `LWP::UserAgent` object. Fixed it, and seems the response code is `Nothing`!?
