Breville Double Boiler Descaling Procedure, and other bits

From Phil McKnight on the CoffeeSnobs forums:

 When the machine is returned to one of our service centers, it will be drained by removing the tubes supplying water to the 2 boilers, inserting small hoses into the boilers & sucking out the water.
 Water inlet tubes will be replaced & the boilers filled with a de-scale solution via the water tank, left for the appropriate time, then the boilers drained the same way, re-filled & drained with fresh filtered water several times so there is no de-scale solution residue, then returned empty to the customer for use.
 Its not a complicated process, but clearly one we cant endorse being done by a customer while the machine is under its 2 year warranty. Im sure after the warranty period is over, many on this forum would be capable of performing the de-scale themselves.

Looks like it's not too hard.

Bootcamp drivers for windows 7 (without a mac)

I absolutely love the apple mini aluminium keyboards, they're the best thing ever!

But, they take a bit of effort to get working on windows 7.

Taken from

http://blog.danrashid.com/installing-apple-keyboard-drivers-on-windows

From the Snow Leapard disk, or from torrents (more reliably working for me!) You need the Bootcamp drivers, from the directory "BootCamp/drivers/apple copy the BootCamp64.msi to the desktop, along with BootCamp/drivers/apple/64/AppleKeyboard64Installer.exe

Also, download the 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 update files from Apple (easily found)

Get an administrator privileged CMD window up, run BootCamp64.msi from it.

It'll give errors, just click Ok. Don't reboot.

Install the updates in order, then reboot.

Welcome to a fully working apple keyboard in windows that's not on a mac :)

Openindiana bits and pieces

Had Solaris Express Community Edition running previously, build 113 I think. But it decided my big zpool was degraded. I eventually worked out this was because disks were overheating. Replaced the fans, and booted back up, but it kept getting itself into a state, and panicking the kernel, causing it to reboot, and not come back cleanly!

So, I tried debian, it installed fine, but it decided that one disk didn't have a partition table it recognised. Even though it was configured exactly the same as the other 5 in the zpool, bit odd.

So next, I gave Openindiana a go, detected the pool straight off. Said I could update, so it's now running at zpool v28. So, no going back to SXCE I think.

It has a few tweaks I want to remember:

Static IP

This is an odd one, apparently you have to:

• disable the NWAM auto config stuff.
  svcadm disable physical:nwam
  


• 
  add your IP to /etc/hosts
  


• 
  use ipadm to configure the interface
  ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=192.168.1.122/24 e1000g0/v4static
  


• 
  Add the gateway
  route -p add default 192.168.1.123
  


• 
  Add DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf
  


• 
  cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
  

Samba

pkg install storage-server
svcadm disable svc:/network/smb/client:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/smb/server:default
svcadm enable svc:/network/samba:default
smbpasswd -a your_username


I had to change the UID of the username to match what ubuntu was expecting, easier than trying to muck about with samba permissions, just make the UNIX permissions match up on both ends, and it should all work!

VirtualBox
Download the solaris version,
pkg-add -d ./VirtualBox-4.1.8-SunOS-r75467.pkg

Seems to install just fine!

Autostart Virtualbox Guest
Get the package from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vboxsvc/
pkgadd -d COSvboxsvc-0.15.pkg
Edit the vbox-svc.xml, and add the correct VM name, username ,and group to run as.
svcadm import ./vbox-svc.xml


All in all fairly simple, when you know how. Quite different to what I'm used to with linux, and I'd forgotten all my SXCE stuff!

OpenWRT tidbits

Access bridged modem, add to /etc/firewall.user

MODEM_IP="192.168.1.1"
VLAN_IP="192.168.1.10"

#Works for backfire WRT54GS
ifconfig eth0.1 $VLAN_IP netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -A forwarding_rule -d $MODEM_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d $MODEM_IP -j MASQUERADE

#Works for trunk tp-link wr841nd v7.2
#ifconfig eth1 $VLAN_IP netmask 255.255.255.0
#iptables -A forwarding_rule -d $MODEM_IP -j ACCEPT
#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d $MODEM_IP -j MASQUERADE

IPv6 with internode production, in /etc/config/dhcp6c
set both instances of SLA_LEN to 8

Poly and Facebook

I just found a way to make people who are more than 'facebook friends' to appear more significantly on your profile.

It's a relatively new feature that I wasn't aware of, called "Featured Relationships"

Hit Edit my profile, then Relationships.

Create a new list, I called mine Anchors (Thanks cunningminx! http://polyweekly.com/2010/11/poly-weekly-260-replacing-primary-and-secondary/ ), and added my partners to that list, and made sure that list appears first on my profile, followed by family, then friends

It's not the same as being "in a relationship with" someone on facebook, but I thought it was a nice thing to do.
