Where r00t has no land

After quite a few adventures between among GND filters and while my searches did not reveal much information regarding the potential differences among the GND filters (Lee and Singh-ray I assume cannot be compared here, since they are glass filters and the quality –and price- is top notch).Since I had more spare time, I moved on performing a few tests with both filters and additionally my new whibal grey card (used for WB settings while shooting).

How many times have you wondered how to bind together complex models under cakephp?
Cakephp is powerfull framework which allows you to quickly and efficiently compile large projects in a snap of your fingers! It has a powerful MVC structure which allows you to efficiently manage your data in the desired “layering” of the MVC pattern.
One of the most powerful aspects of CakePHP is the abillity to manage complex model associations such as hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo, hasAndBelongsToMany relations, this asscociations allow you to pull data from Join tables and attach “remote” models on the fly to your current working model.
For example if you are working on a User model this model could easily be attached a Post model which in turn could be easily attached to a Tag model and the story goes on. Since my intentions in this post is not to analyze the internals of CakePHP nor to introduce it to you (I believe the Cake site covers all of the above in a very nice and human readable way…). My intensions in this posting is to discuss possible solutions and methods of solving problem when complex model associations are involved in a project.

After a short problem with our webserver we are back online, we apologize for the delay!
More posts coming soon!

So allot of you are experiencing problems with flash and x64 architecture (I suppose you have installed flash for the x64 system following the official Arch wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Flash_on_Arch64 ).

But yet even if everything went fine during the installation you experience problems such as the player dissapears after visiting flash enabled sites, or various crash messages in your dmesg queue.
I had to look around only to realise that the default nspluginwrapper package has a bug with SMP enabled kernels. So if you are using such a kernel and you are experiencing problems with flash player, please proceed uninstalling the installed nspluginwrapper and install the nspluginwrapper-ubuntu package:

pacman -Rs nspluginwrapper 
pacman -S nspluginwrapper-ubuntu

So you got your new laptop with the new GeForce 9500M GS and you want to run Compiz?
After you have your Xorg server configured (If you haven’t already check the following article: http://pestilence.insert.gr/installing-archlinux-on-acer-aspire-7720g/ ) and ready for composition then you can proceed.
Before you proceed with installing or configuring anything from this, it would be wise to logout from your X session.
For this card (nvidia 9500M GS) nvidia’s 169.12 driver version (available in ArchLinux (Arch Linux) official repository) work just fine, install them and configure them (check previous link).

Acer Aspire 7720 specs:

Installation

I went with the x86_64 Installation (which I also recommend, since this is a Core 2 DUO processor supporting x64 architecture, and additionally includes 4GB of RAM which under 32bit operating systems requires tweaking).
After installing the bare system (download Image from ArchLinux (Arch Linux) site) I started installing the necessary tools for my hardware support.
