If you watched the one from January 24, don’t bother watching this one unless you are a hardcore fan. If you haven’t watched a rough cut in a while, enjoy this tweaked and trimmed latest and greatest.

i’ve been trying for hours to install mysql on my g5. i’ve been doing everything vanilla. i keep getting this:
$ mysqld_safe touch: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied chown: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 302: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied rm: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.pid: Permission denied /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 308: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.pid tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied 050130 04:57:25 mysqld ended tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/g5bachir.local.err: Permission denied
even after chowning everything to mysql, chmoding o+w, et cetera
any ideas?
update: I’ve solved it!.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
I haven’t been posting public links to rough cuts, but I figure that few enough people read my blog that it would be worth the extra feedback I get.
So here is the newest rough cut of the film. I’ve cut out a lot of the Sierra Club interview, I’m going to move that into another piece. That’s what I have in mind right now, to make the feature much shorter (~45 min), focussing on dissent.
I am open to any and all suggestions regarding a complete change in focus, massive removals of footage, et cetera. In fact, as alluded to above, I am trying to make massive cuts. All of the material will be available in one way or another, either in topic-specific 10-minute pieces (environment, police/drug-war, et cetera) or just straight interviews. The only question is what will be in the feature.
Most of it is obvious, such as the interviews on the street, the critical mass incident, or when any interviewee comments on the protesters. My only dilemma is keeping celebrities to maintain the appeal of the feature.
Something else to mull over: sort of my main thing in the original cut is the media section at the end. I end the film with a somber, dramatic soliloquy from Amy Goodman, about how and why media needs to change in this country. This could make a perfectly good piece on its own. But I think that this is the most important material I have, after the dissent material. So tell me if I am crazy that it would be a good idea to have the first half of the feature be about dissent and the last half be about the media. It makes sense in John World but it’s probably conceptually jarring to most viewers.
Anyway I hope that made sense. If you don’t know what I am talking about because you haven’t seen any material yet, just watch the movie and give me any and all comments. Thanks!

Here is my homegrown ad blocking solution. Put this in a text file, name it something like “block”, stick it in ~/bin.
#!/bin/sh
echo “127.0.0.1 $1″ >> /private/etc/hosts
lookupd -flushcache
tail /private/etc/hosts
Now you can sudo block ads.example.com to your heart’s content.
Of course the location of your hosts file might vary depending on your system. The above works for OS X. Also, flushing the lookupd cache is just some added sugar, on systems that don’t use lookupd the blocking will still take effect eventually.
I’ve decided to cross over into the world of using an RSS reader. But my one requirement was that I be able to syncronize my RSS environment with multiple computers, much like the excellent .mac does with my calendars, todos, address book, and bookmarks (and files if I wanted to). After much searching I was sure I would come up dry. But then I read the Shrook website more carefully, and discovered that it synchs with its own free service, which also includes a web interface! I couldn’t be happier. I’ll probably buy it after the 30 day trial. Also notable is the yet unreleased NetNewsWire 2.0, which will also have syncing.
Does anyone have any ideas for a cheap ($250 max, if it’s a really slick setup, but preferably closer to $150), functional, huge geek-desk that is slightly fancier than the door sitting on saw horses that I used to have? It would be nice if the height was somewhat adjustable (not necessarily through its use, but upon initial installation), and if it could be a slick corner desk, extending perhaps 6 feet in each direction.
Maybe one of the surfaces could be lower, keyboard-ergonomic height for my computer(s) (don’t worry about the height of my displays, I can take care of that), and the other surface can be the traditional 28″ (?) height, for reading and writing.
