NTP: Force Time Sync

Posted on March 8, 2016 by jaye

From the command line:

# service ntpd stop
# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
# service ntpd start

On RHEL/CentOS you can force ntpd to syncronize on service startup by doing the following:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/ntpd

There is an OPTIONS variable with something like:

OPTIONS="-u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

Add the -x parameter:

OPTION="-x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

You may also want to set SYNC_HWCLOCK option to “yes”, in order to also syncronize hardware clock.

Script: Repair Broken Door

Posted on August 8, 2015 by jaye

First create a door. It can be locked or unlocked.

Next create a Message. Example text:

An examination of the door's security components reveals that several parts and connections were damaged when raiders tried to break in. It should be repairable with the right parts, or perhaps the system can be bypassed.

[Repair of 40 or greater required, plus 2 pieces of Scrap Electronics and a Sensor Module are required to repair the door.]

[Science of 50 or greater required to bypass the security system.]

There will be three options:

DoorMsg0DoorMsg1DoorMsg2

Then create a the fixed door messages:

You fixed the Safe House North Entry Door, but it remains locked.

and/or

You bypassed the security system on the Safe House North Entry Door.

Finally, attach the following script to the door:

scn TISHNorthFixDoorScript

short bFixed		; 1 = Player has repaired the door.
short Button

begin OnActivate player

if bFixed
		Activate
	else
		ShowMessage TISHBrokenDoorMSG
	endif
	
end

BEGIN GameMode

		set Button to GetButtonPressed

		if ( Button == 1 )
			set bFixed to 1
			ShowMessage TISHNorthFixedDoorMsg
               player.removeitem SensorModule 1
               player.removeitem ScrapElectronics 2
			RewardXP 100
          else  
               if ( Button == 2 )
			    set bFixed to 1
			    ShowMessage TISHNorthBypassedDoorMsg
			    RewardXP 100
			    Unlock
              endif
         endif

Fun With Dates in Excel

Posted on March 4, 2015 by jaye

This will always give the date of the next Sunday:

=A1 + 7 - WEEKDAY(A1)+1

If A1 is a Sunday, this will give the following Sunday (e.g. if A1 is Nov. 18, it will give Nov. 25).

If instead, when A1 is a Sunday you want it to give you the same date, rather than the following Sunday (e.g. on Nov. 18, it gives Nov. 18), then use this version:

=$A1 + 7 - WEEKDAY($A1,2)

To find the first day of the following month, use the following EOMONTH function:

=EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)+1

CYGWIN: Chmod will not change group permissions.

Posted on December 30, 2014 by jaye

I found that, under cygwin, chmod will not change groups permissions on a file that is stored on NTFS. The group owner needs to be change to User first.

$ chown :Users filename

Then chmod works as expected.

$ chmod 700 filename

GoToMeeting: Convert Compressed WMV Recording.

Posted on August 15, 2014 by jaye

By default, on Windows, GoToMeeting uses the G2M3 compression codec on stored recordings. This can be turned off in preferences. However, if that was not done, use the following steps to convert to a normal WMV file.

Convert Source WMV G2M3/G2M4 Codec Video to WMV WMV3 Codec Video

Step One:

  • Please click here to download and install the GoToMeeting codec.

Step Two:

  • If you have Windows XP or Windows 7(32-bit), please go to C:\Program Files\Citrix\GoToMeeting\<????> (a folder with numbers, which is the version of GTM you have installed).
  • If you have Windows 7(64-bit), please go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\GoToMeeting\<????>(a folder with numbers, which is the version of GTM you have installed). There will be a file called “g2mtranscoder.exe”. This is the utility that GoToMeeting uses to convert the file to a generic WMV file after recording.

Step Three:

  • Now follow the instructions below to use command line to convert the WMV G2M3/G2M4 Codec Video file:
    1. Copy g2mtranscoder.exe AND g2m.dll files and paste them onto the ROOT C: drive (ie not in a folder).
    2. Place the GoToMeeting recorded WMV G2M3/G2M4 Codec Video file on the ROOT C: drive as well.
    3. Launch the command prompt (start -> run -> cmd).
      • Note: If you have Windows 7, please run as Administrator to launch the command prompt. Please click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command prompt, and then click Run as administrator to start (execute) the command prompt “cmd.exe” in administrative mode! If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
    4. If the command prompt launches and shows a file/folder path (ie C:\Documents and Setting\etc) then type “cd..” (without the quotes) until you are seeing just the root C: in the command prompt line (will look like C:\>).
    5. Now, type the following at the prompt: “c:\g2mtranscoder.exe source=c:\videofilenamehere.wmv”. (Of course put the name of your video file instead of those words and don’t forget the .wmv).
