Setting up an account to backup a windows machine to my Nas I discovered an issue with the rsync setup. I first enabled the rsync protocol in the readynas admin interface. I then added a new user account and when I was testing I got the following error: rsync -av myidr/ newuser@mynas: newuser@mynas's password: Connection closed by 192.168.1.100 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-35.2/rsync/io.c(452) [sender=2.6.9] I tracked down the problem to not having a ssh key on the nas for the new user: su - newuser Password: newuser@mynas:~$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Banca : Aprire un conto in banca è un casino in Inghilterra. Ti chiedono una "proof of address" che è in genere difficile da avere se sei appena arrivato in città. Se il tuo datore di lavoro ti fornisce una lettera di raccomandazione è molto più facile. Le banche consigliate sono CITI e HSBC. Io ho un contro HSBC perché era la banca della mia ragazza e forse ci sono piu' filiali in giro. Proof of address In inghilterra non esiste l'anagrafe e pertanto, per fare qualsiasi cosa ti viene richiesta una "proof of address". In genere va bene o un estratto conto della banca oppure una bolletta del telefono o dell'elettricità (Non basta il passaporto). La cosa si fa interessante quando per avere un conto in banca ti chiedono una proof of address che ancora non hai...

As it was my first time in California, I did some research to find out how to spend my long 3 days long weekend (labour day on Monday). I got a lo of suggestions which I summarized on my previous post and here I will narrate what I have actually done do that it can be a reference to anyone in my same situation. Friday: Computer History Museum and running along Steven's creek trail [fa:p:id=3891382528,j=l,s=s,l=p] After a lunch at the Mongolian Barbecue in Castro street downtown Mountain View, I took my bike to the Computer History Museum, on the way to the Google campus, 15 minutes away from downtown. The museum has a free entrance and guided tours are also available for free. Don't miss it! The guides are so nice and make the visit a nice experience for anybody, even for non-computer people. I stayed at the museum for about 2 and half hours. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Among the funny things you can see there there is the first Mac ever built, with a wood chassy and the signature ...

I'm in Mountain View for a couple of weeks and since it happens to be also labour day I asked people around on what to do during the week-end. I put the summary here so that other visitors in the San Francisco area can take a look at it. By bike Bike the Golden Gate Bridge (It's about 15-20 km and may take a couple of hours). You can rent a bike in San Francisco , bike to Sausalito or all the way to Tiburon, spend some time there and then take the ferry back to SF Bike or walk along the waterfront in San Francisco is nice. You may even combine this with the Golden Gate Bridge bike ride Bike (but beware of the many annoying hills and cars everywhere!) You can take a bike on CalTrain to San Francisco. The bike car is the last car on the train. Bike on a road bike along the east bay with http://www.oaklandyellowjackets.org/ Walking Visit Alcatraz (tickets must be reserved in advance) Walk around in San Francisco with a guided tour: http://www.goldstar.com/events/sa...

As today I've not yet moved into my flat although I've been paying the rent for almost three weeks. When I checked in, on the 11th of August, the flat was in disgusting conditions. It had not been cleaned at all and stuff of the previous tenant was still inside. Luckily enough we had insisted that a list of works to be done had to be put in writing in the contract. None of the works had been done, although contractually the landlord had a few more days to comply with his duty. But not the cleaning. The cleaning had to be done before I moved in and they had had an extra week to do it properly. After a first immediate solicitation nothing happened. At some point somebody went in and vacuum cleaned the carpet in one of the rooms: ridiculous! I felt like they were making fun of me. I escalated the problem to my relocation company and to Google HR which had helped me getting the contract. I just wanted to break the lease and live the landlord to the next victim. Unfortunately there ...

I built the latest version of spring 3.0 and deployed in my maven repo . Feel free to use it but don't make assumptions that it will be online in any future
