Have GNU, Will Travel.: Weird Lion audio issue with headphones

http://havegnuwilltravel.apesseekingknowledge.net/2011/12/weird-lion-audio-issue-with-headphones.html

Have GNU, Will Travel. Photography, OS X and Linux info. Weird Lion audio issue with headphones. My wife was having a weird audio problem on 10.7.2 - she'd be listening to iTunes, plug in her headphones, then get silence. Restarting iTunes would make the audio work on the headphones, but then if you unplug the headphones, silence until restarting it again. Same symptoms with watching YouTube videos in Safari. Deleted it, logged out and back in, and sound is working right again. View my complete profile.

Have GNU, Will Travel.: Automate manifest distribution to masterless puppet clients from an S3 bucket

http://havegnuwilltravel.apesseekingknowledge.net/2012/09/automate-manifest-distribution-to.html

Have GNU, Will Travel. Photography, OS X and Linux info. Automate manifest distribution to masterless puppet clients from an S3 bucket. When I was looking for examples of how to implement masterless, I didn't find tools for automating distribution of manifests to the nodes, so I wrote Miyamoto. I got Ooyala to allow me to open-source it before I left, and the source is at https:/ github.com/unixorn/miyamoto. Here are a few caveats:. Miyamoto assumes you're using a single git repository for your manifests...

I found myself recently writing yet another fact to read the contents of a knob file, so I generalized one to read all the files found in /etc/knobs and return the contents as facts named after the files found. Here's the source, and it's also available on github. Fact returns knob values based on contents of /etc/knobs. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");. Links to this post.
