Nightly build of PsicoTSI for Firefox 8

I have a new server with following RAID card : 3ware 9750 SAS
I would like to run ESXi on it but my RAID card is not supported by VMWare
Since I have only one partition , I need to modify the original ESXi iso with my own RAID driver in order to be able to install ESXi on my server..

It’s easy , follow the next three steps :

Step 1 – Extract the 3ware 9750 SAS RAID-driver

• Please go to the following url and download the iso on a linux server
• Mount that iso :
  • mount -o loop /tmp/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas_400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.229230.iso /media/

• Copy the rpm from that iso to /tmp
  • cp /media/.rpm/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas-400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm /tmp/
• Extract the content from that rpm without installing it
  • cd /tmp
  • rpm2cpio /tmp/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas-400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
    (the following is the one that we are interested in : usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/3w-sas.o

Step 2 – Create your custom oem.tgz file

• Make it yourself easy and get an already existing oem.tgz ( eg mine :  oem-9750.tgz )
  That way you already have the proper files and directories in place.
• Extract that tgz file in an new temporarily directory (eg:  /tmp/oem)
  • tar xvzf oem-9750.tgz
• cp that “.o file” from step 1 to the following dir : /tmp/oem/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/3w-sas.o
• Next, adjust the pci.ids file
  • vi /tmp/oem/etc/vmware/pci.idsAdd the PCI ID of your raid card to that file.
    In my case :
    • 13c1  3ware Inc
    • 1010  9750 SAS2/SATA-II RAID PCIe(An overview of all PCI ID’s can be found here: http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids)
• Also adjust the simple.map file
  • vi  /tmp/oem_9750/etc/vmware/simple.map
    • 13c1:1010 0000:0000 storage 3w-sas.o
• Once that is done create your oem.tgz file :
  • cd /tmp/oem
  • tar cvzf oem.tgz ./*

Step 3 – Create your custom ISO

• Download this excellent script from mkesxiaio | http://code.google.com/p/mkesxiaio/ on your server
  • cd /tmp/my-cd
  • wget http://mkesxiaio.googlecode.com/files/mkesxiaio_3.9.9.sh
  • chmod a+x mkesxiaio_3.9.9.sh
• Download the ESXi iso from VMWare ( ESXi 4.1 Installable (CD ISO) to /tmp/my-cd
• Copy your custom oem.tgz (Step2) to /tmp/my-cd
• Run the script , follow the instructions, use your brains and once you are done your custom  iso will be here:
  • /tmp/my-cd/save/VMware_esxi_custom_4.1_oem.iso

Note : I spend quite some time on this issue during my work as an operation manager @ nomadesk  - The easiest and most secure way to share, synchronize and backup files wherever you are, online or offline! So thank you for that!

I wont share a version here. But if you navigate to here, you will find a working version in the reviews (review by sharkyslo on February 21, 2010)

Collections are groups of related add-ons assembled for easy sharing.

So I made one for our favorite game : Hattrick !

Subscribe here!

At the moment this collection contains PsicoTSI and Foxtrick,  you have some suggestions, leave a comment then

Thank you!

Due to previous complaints from CHPP ,I wont share an unofficial version here. But I will try to contact the author of the extension since all he needs to do is adjusting one file!

To be continued…

Update : A new version is  available!

It’s easy , just download the following twitter wrapping class for PHP and have a look at the example code below :

This code will print out the latest replies you have received on twitter

<?
require_once(“lib/phpTwitter/twitter.php”);

$t = new twitter(‘YOUR_USERNAME’,'YOUR_PASSWORD’);

echo’<pre>’;

$replies = $t->getReplies() ;
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {

$reply = $replies[$i][text];
echo $reply;
echo “</br></br></br></br>”;

}
// Print out the complete replies array
//print_r( $replies );

echo’</pre>’;

?>

Now you know already how to retrieve and print out your replies, then it will be only a matter of walking through Tijs his class to know what else you can do with his wrapper(class)!

Eg :

• updateProfileImage
• updateProfile
• getFriends
• getPublicTimeline
• …

I am sure you will have your script running within this and an hour !

Note : Formatting code in WP seems like a tough job , so you will have to do it yourself
