Have you ever wondered how does look the computation of Fibonnaci number in assembly?

For sake of curiosity I chose Pep/8 Assembler and Simulator which could be found on http://code.google.com

The original C uncached version looks as following:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int fib (int n)
{
    if (n == 0)
    {
        return 0; 
    }
    else if (n == 1)
    {
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
       return fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2);
    }
}
int main ()
{
    int num;
    cout << "Which Fibonacci number? ";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "The number is " << fib (num) << endl; 
    return 0;
}

If you see something like that:

$ git fsck --lost-found
dangling commit 9dbd85d427b32773aee016efc7912f9d1c39aac4
dangling commit 604948146be1bdc2181962543cca039c18cc06b4

You might want to get rid of those dangling commits, in order to accomplish it, do following:

git reflog expire --expire=now --all #Dangerous command, it will be very difficult to recover stuff later on, if you execute it
git gc --prune=now

In order to update "locate" database on OS X, some people suggest to create a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb /usr/local/bin/updatedb

However, this method can create an erroneous output if you are in directory with a specific permission e.g.

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
find: .: Permission denied

The better method would be to create a bash script /usr/local/bin/updatedb:

  #!/bin/bash
  pushd . > /dev/null
  cd /usr/libexec
  echo "Updating locate database..."
  sudo ./locate.updatedb
  echo "Updating complete!"
  popd > /dev/null

Make it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/updatedb

Now you can just run «sudo updatedb», in order to update «locate» database.

In my current job we needed to automatize some processes by using Windows Task Scheduler; I wrote a batch file, which you may find useful,
especially when you don't have direct/remote access to user's desktop.

The main problem of implementation this task was Windows Vista/7 with its UAC, I had to use powershell to get Admin privileges by popping a window prompt to user directly to accept rather than have the user type the password manually upon the request.

This weekend I have devoted my time for playing with the new and famous frameworks Django, Pylons, and Ruby On Rails.
Almost 80% of the weekend I spent on installing them, if you don't wanna spend time by installing these frameworks and want start playing with them immediately, you are welcome to use my already configured virtual machine for Virtualbox.

First of all you will need Virtualbox, then download image of my virtual machine:
Server 1
Server 2

Extract the archive and import the virtual appliance to Virtualbox
