ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=15 username@remotehost
After 1 day of testing I no longer experience this problem to such an obvious extent (so far it actually seems like it’s fixed altogether). The net.inet.tcp.keepidle and net.inet.tcp.keepintvl variables were modified in /etc/sysctl.conf. Their values were extremely low. I don’t know how this happened. The solution was to set these values to their default values net.inet.tcp.keepidle=7200000 and net.inet.tcp.keepintvl=75000 using the “sudo sysctl -w” command.

Get More Done
Advice from executives, meeting planners and trainers on productive meetings:
•Set a clear agenda.
•Impose a ‘no devices’ rule or schedule periodic tech breaks for email, texts and phone calls.
•Redirect people back to the agenda when they ramble or digress.
•Draw out quiet people by asking them in advance for a specific contribution.
•Do a ’round robin,’ when appropriate, to allow everyone to contribute.
•Ask early for objections to keep them from derailing discussions later.
•Limit the length of slide presentations.
•Interrupt people who talk too long or talk to each other.
•Set an ending time for the meeting and stick to it.

Here is a one-liner that explodes a string and trims whitespace from each element:
$array = array_map('trim',explode(',',$str));

I found a fantastic tutorial on using the W3 Total Cache plugin with Amazon’s S3/CDN that I had to share:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/give-wordpress-blog-lightning-fast-speeds-w3-total-cache/
The basic gist of the article says to do the following:
- Install and activate the W3 Total Cache plugin
- Sign up for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Obtain your AWS Access and Secret key pair
- In AWS S3, create a new bucket.
In my experience, it is best to name a bucket using all lowercase letters and dashes ONLY.
- In AWS CloudFront, create a new distribution using the new bucket you created in the previous step.
- Return to your WordPress blog and find the Performance menu on the left menu, and choose General Settings.
- Activate the CDN, then enter and save your AWS credentials.
- Run the Test Save for the bucket.
- Export your various media and other files to the bucket/CDN.
- Done. Enjoy the vastly improved response time for your site.

If you have a named submit button in your form, submit() will fail.
The solution is to change
1
| <input type="submit" name="submit" value="hello" /> |
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="hello" />
to
1
| <input type="submit" value="hello" /> |
<input type="submit" value="hello" />

I love my wife and I am SO glad it is Friday. Heading to the doctor for a check-up. I am sure he will want to take blood to check my diabetes. ICK.
Looking forward to getting a massage later from Gary of Hillsborough Massage, then off to Elements for our weekly repast.
My grandfather is doing better, but is still in rehab after being hospitalized for pneumonia.

I did this as root. YMMV…
gem uninstall less (just in case you used the old way...)
git clone git://github.com/ry/node.git
(or use wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.6.15/node-v0.6.15.tar.gz; tar xvzf node-*)
cd node
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
npm install less
ln -s /usr/lib/nodejs/less/bin/lessc /usr/bin/lessc
