I googled for “can’t use campfire with fluid” and similar, and no luck.  A little more digging and I found reference to Making Fluid Ssbs Browse Only Pages You Want - fluidapp | Google Groups.

All I had to do was to add *launchpad.37signals.com* to my whitelist of URL’s to browse in Fluid and it worked.

I’m posting this here so the next person may have a shorter route to find the answer.

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
3. sudo gem install nokogiri
4. sudo gem install racc
5. sudo gem install rexical
6. (at this point, when I tried “gem install how”, it complained I didn’t have RubyGems >= 1.3.1. which is required for “hoe”)
7. sudo gem install rubygems-update -v=1.3.4
8. sudo update_rubygems
9. sudo gem install hoe

via Mark Howe » Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.1 you have 1.2.0. Please `gem update –system` and try again..

And I’ve used mac port for the install

When I run sphinx  indexer

Then it expects the mysql socket to be in /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock

Given I’ve installed mysql

And I’ve used the binary from mysql

When I run mysqld

Then it use the mysql socket in /tmp/mysql.sock

To get sphinx indexer to use my installed version of mysql, I have to change make a change in the sphinx.conf file to tell sphinx indexer to use the mysql socket in /tmp/mysql.sock:

in some source …

{

sql_sock = /tmp/mysql.sock

…

}

With my current team (at FiveRuns), we hit a point a while ago where the team began to reject the extra formality and overhead in some of our scrum practices (e.g. sprint planning, release planning) and began to smooth our rhythm out until we ended up, more or less, as continuous-flow.

The great thing is, I’ve looked back on earlier teams and seen similar trends - but different results. This time (for me) reality & results were stronger than dogma & fear - so we went with what made us better.

Then, I stumbled across Kanban Development Oversimplified and passed it out - it’s a great quick & simple overview.

It’s not good enough to be doing something… I’ve got to build something related. So, combine this with the desire to get some more experience with some new shiny bits (standalone apps on couchdb) and ta da: a simple board with cards + columns to represent our worfklow (surely a cliched application, along with blogs); the board will be a centralized service and a de-centralized service (ref: git) so that people can take their own copy of the board with them - keep using it - and sync up with either the centralized service or another instance, as needed. More later: I’ll post some cucumber scenarios and then a link to the project on github.

We’ve got transportation and 40 tickets to catch Penn & Teller at the Rio on Tuesday night. Want to join us? Drop your name in the… hat. Okay, it’s not a hat, but you get the idea.

Enter your name before 8am Tuesday morning; winners will be notified by 10am via email.

See you in Las Vegas!

• get a dashboard that shows me what’s new with people in my social networks
• organize the dashboard based on some heuristics on what social networks are more important than others (e.g. ex-Excite people, current co-workers, etc.)
• default and customizable alerts to notify me
  • when it’s been a long time since I communicated with someone
  • when something about those people or their company has changed
• a single place to view and edit some basic info on a person (e.g. notes)
• all based on an understanding of my social networks (e.g. declared social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook, twitter and implicit social networks like email)

How to solve this? Up to now, I’ve thought about ways to augment my email, i.e. using my email history and address book. From the looks of it, Xobni does something similar with Outlook and there’s chatter they may do this eventually for hosted email (e.g. gmail). However, last night I realized that (for the moment) much of what I care about could be in LinkedIn. Surely someone has solved this via a LinkedIn application… Unfortunately, no, e.g I didn’t even find any way to keep notes on other people in my network. No problem, I’ll write an application… but right away their stance isn’t encouraging. While their wording does not encourage me to take an exploratory run at something new on LinkedIn,  I’ll apply and see what happens.
