Hi everyone! It’s so great to meet you all again here hehe :) Today is Sunday and that’s mean I have much free time I need to spend somehow.

There is one thing I was curious about for a long time: Why LinkedIn doesn’t provide a way to share recommendations on your profile to the public? They provide indeed, but the person who view recommendations should be signed in to LinkedIn to see them. Strange policy. There are many threads on linkedIn developers forums like those: https://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1430 and others.

So what I actually wanted (and I believe not only me) is an ability to display my LinkedIn profile’s recommendations on my blog without forcing it’s visitors to sign in with Linked In. I digged lot’s of LI documentations, API, forum, stackoverflow etc. and found that LI doesn’t allow to do it. Why they do this way is a topic for another post, but now I want to present a small workaround for this problem.

SSH probably the most wide-spred tool used by thouthands of hackers/ system administrators all over the world to connect to remote servers. And while it is simple to use and has been pre-installed on many OS systems, it has some problems as well. I think you know some “dropped” issues or “timed-out” issues especially when you have unstable internet connection. Rick Cogley has recently posted some workarounds to fix ssh.

Mysql Replication setup manual

This two tutorials helped me to solve several issues during setup, so strongly recommend: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-howto-repuser.html http://scriptingmysql.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/mysql-replication-creating-a-new-masterslave-topology-with-or-without-virtual-machines/

I decided to set up different mysql instances using virtualbox. So in my case I have: * host machine with ubuntu 12.04, x64 * guest OS running inside virtualbox (same ubuntu 12.04, but 32 bit) Networking using bridge Both running mysql 5.5 master is on host machine, slave - on virtual one.

Working as a freelancer has huge benefints over traditional office job for sure. Really. Think of it: you free to choose when to work, how to work, how much do you take for your work and even who to work with. Great freedom that engages you to develop your online worker profile very quickly and start taking your first orders within days. There are a bunch of online tools/marketplaces out there that will help you in that. There is a good article on this topic I’d really engage you to check out: http://www.bnewton.co.uk/blog/my-ultimate-web-freelancing-compilation-guide-how-to-quit-your-day-job-and-become-a-full-time-freelancer/. I’m sure you’ll find something interesting for yourself there. What I want to discuss is the situation when you already have several years of freelance working experiance and you notice that your growing as a professional is not so fast as the first days of freelancing. You’ve probably asked yourself, “Is there any way I can improve the quality of services I provide thus making my client more happy and keep my rate up to date?”.

Thinking of it need to say that developing your online profile is much like the same as promoting any othere product/service over the web so regular marketing techniques plays well here as well.

Here are my thought about it.

That was a rainy night of Saturday when I was sitting down and reading some blog I found a notice about Node. Yay, now I know how to spend rest of the eve - I thought :)

Honestly saying, some time ago I have already made “first steps” in writing server side js using node, but that was so long ago so I decided to try again and go further that first time.

So let’s start from installing npm (node package manager - similar to gem from rails). I had it already installed but for those who just starting follow next steps (quote taken from ubuntu community).

Этап 1. Установка Ruby

Для установки будем использовать RVM. > Самый популярный инструмент для установки Ruby это RVM (“Ruby Version Manager”). RVM - это набор скриптов, который позволяет легко устанавливать разные версии Ruby-интерпрет етора и также легко между ними переключаться

Привет всем! Сегодня 10 мая - первый сбор нашей толпы руби фанов :)

If you take care of how would your web app look on mobile devices this will be definitely helpful. So to make it work you need to satisfy next conditions:

• Obviously, you’ll need an android device you’re going to test on (preferably Android 3.2 and higher)
• Android SDK installed
• Both desktop and mobile should run Google Chrome Browser (Chrome beta is also supported)
• USB cable

That’s it. New posts definitely will be more informative!
