FIXED! phpmyadmin install on Ubuntu 9.04

Here's the new config file located in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Make sure to reset your root password if you copy this!

/**
* Debian local configuration file
*
* This file overrides the settings made by phpMyAdmin interactive setup
* utility.
*
* For example configuration see /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/examples/config.default.php.gz
*
* NOTE: do not add security sensitive data to this file (like passwords)
* unless you really know what you're doing. If you do, any user that can
* run PHP or CGI on your webserver will be able to read them. If you still
* want to do this, make sure to properly secure the access to this file
* (also on the filesystem level).

Honda has the most creative marketing firm ever. Their commercials are always top rate.

Development PC Configuration

Yesterday Dave and I got it into our heads we need to update our work machines. We were still running XP SP2. We are generally doing Ruby on Rails development, deploying to a linux server. With some side HTMl / PHP work.

Here's the game plan;
1)Format and upgrade to Vista x64
2)Run Ubuntu on a VirtualBox VM
3)Install git / netbeans on Ubuntu

All our development work hopefully will now be done in a proper environment!

Jet Turbine test

Capt Sullenberger's Airbus hit a 10-14lb goose.

Attached is video of an engine on a test stand when a turbine blade is failed by firing a dead 3lb chicken at the engine.

This test was successful in that the failure was contained, i.e. engine parts did not go beyond the engine cowling.

It does not take long for the engine to destroy itself.
