Coding my Life

I adjusted the wikipedia search plugins for firefox, so they use ssl secured connection to the wikimedia servers. Have also look on my everenglish google search plugin. The hint to use the ip I have from searchlores.org.

• English Wikipedia Search
• German Wikipedia Search
• Everenglish Google Search

Wie es aussieht waren die letzten drei Einträge aus Versehen passwortgeschützt. Das habe ich nun geändert.

I'm using Debian Lenny on my PowerBook. The ruby version which is shipped with lenny is 1.8.7.Today I wanted to try the metasploit framework, but it needs ruby version 1.8.6. After a little bit chatting in the #debian.de channel a solution was found.

You have to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/source.list:

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool ruby1.8 deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool ruby1.8

Now you can install the ruby packages from the snapshot mirrors. I installed the latest 1.8.6 version of ruby1.8 and libruby1.8

sudo aptitude install ruby1.8=1.8.6.114-2 libruby1.8=1.8.6.114-2

To prevent aptitude of upgrading the packages you have to set them on hold:

sudo aptitude hold ruby1.8 libruby1.8
