Congratulations Ben, ****, and Nithya!  Our efforts are paying off.

• “Reboot my phone” — Fails to do anything; perhaps rebooting isn’t as common here as it is with Android.
• “Call X on Skype” — Tries to call using the phone app, not Skype.

I’m sure I’ll have some more things to add here eventually.

*Tries not to be a sore loser.*

Update: It turns out that YC didn’t fund shopobot, but actually chose not to invest after their in-person pitch.  My mistake!

Here’s a link to my old post on this topic.

Enjoy!

1) install selinux-policy-targeted-sources from your OS vendor
2) add the following two lines to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/program/mysqld.te:
allow mysqld_t random_device_t:chr_file read;
allow mysqld_t urandom_device_t:chr_file read;
3) cd to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy and issue the following command:
make load

Worked for me!

Edit: Basically, warnings are treated as errors (duh), so make sure you are abiding by the strictness of your compiler regarding casting and other problems.

I think it’s neat, anyway…

Now we just need to get a power supply for the damn thing.

It turns out that some kind souls are keeping unofficial packages up-to-date for the rest of us chumps.  I found the how-to in the comments here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/831723/where-to-find-prebuilt-binaries-for-subversion-1-6-for-ubuntu-or-debian

Now we can say, “fuck yes!”

El grapho:

The red line indicates the number of new users per day, and the blue the total user count.  Aside from a week or two in January 2009, for most of this year we were lucky to see double digit user registrations on any given day.  This changed when Lifehacker posted a review of the Camelizer in October 2009, raising the average from 7 users per day to 27.

Thanks to Nithya and the rest of Cosmic Shovel, Justin / Cockos / R&W, and the Cosmic CTO for keeping this thing afloat.  I do the coding, they do the important stuff!

(I’ll keep this post updated as we move toward the big 10k, just like in the previous masturbatory post.)

The blades are pretty hot: dual dual-core opterons with 8gb of ram each, and two ultrascsi hard drives (our least favorite part.)  They will provide a great place for us to run web servers, memcached, and whatever else we need to do.  And apparently we can get a bunch of useful admin modules for the chassis’ themselves.

Here’s a pic:

How long until we need to fill both chassis’ up with blades?  Hard to say, but I look forward to finding out :]

The procedure looked like this:

• root phone
• remount / as read-write (in my case: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system)
• replace /etc/hosts with the contents of an up-to-date ad host blacklist
• sync and reboot

I imagine this will lower my bandwidth use as fewer images and other content files are downloaded.  Verizon should thank me.
