Solaris SMF koolness 


I just installed PostgreSQL on snv_27a and decided to add the service properly by creating a smf(5) manifest and method file.
After I created them and imported the manifest i decided to change the name of the method file on the filesystem.
but since i hadn't committed this name change in my manifest smf(5) actually noticed the method file had been renamed and told me that postgres was in the 'maintenance' state.
after reviewing that via svcs(1) i re-imported the manifest file and simply could clear the maintenance state via the svcadm(1M) clear sub-command.
after that, the postgres service came online as expected.
w00t :)

TV-series weekend heaven 


Last weekend was a very relaxing weekend.
After doing the standard chores like cleaning the house and doing some weekend shopping i relaxed by watching lots of kool tv-series.
i'm a big fan of battlestar galactica.
i watched the original series and am watching the 2003 mini-series.
after having watched ep. 2x14 i got the urge to start all over from the beginning and started watching again.
i finished at ep. 1x05 so that means i watched 9 eps of BSG this weekend (the pilot was 4 eps. x 45 minutes).
besides BSG, my wife and i also started on day 5 of '24'.
i don't like how they started this day (SPOILER ALERT!!!: day 5 starts with showing us viewers the wiping out of some very hard-core characters).
we watched all 5 eps so we gotta wait for ep. 6 which should be aired tomorrow night.
i ended the weekend by reading up some more on the 'thinking in Java' book by Bruce Eckel.
i actually should study at least 1 hour each day so i can speed up learning the Java 2 language.

tomorrow night, me and a couple of colleagues from work will go to the Foo Fighters concert held at the Heineken music hall in Amsterdam.
we'll prolly leave work a little bit early so we can grab some chow before going to Amsterdam.
hopefully, the concert will be good fun and be as good as the Nickelback concert i also went to at the same place.
