portableapps start.exe error and cannot launch

"PortableAppsPlatform.exe file is not a valid PortableApps.com release and cannot be launched",
when you bump with that error, and recently you cannot install some software (dropbox installer for example). Then you will realize that update process of some software will get failure (mozilla for example).
This problem because you had culprit at your tmp directory.
"C:\Users\netw0rk\AppData\Local\Temp"
It got wrong permission. The normal permission of tmp folder is inherit from parent, so the solution is simple, just check inherit check-box and press OK.

That's it!

Mounting partitions from full-disk 'dd' images

Forensics: Mounting partitions from full-disk 'dd' images

If you are, as I am, a GCFA who attended Rob Lee's famous training in the not-so-recent past, you probably still are "carving out" partitions from within an acquired full disk "dd" image by running it through another "dd". Given how quickly the disk sizes are increasing, this is highly inefficient both in terms of disk space and analyst time used.
But there's a better way. You already know how to use "loopback mount" on Linux to mount an image? Well, loopback mount supports an "offset" parameter that lets you mount a partition directly from within a larger full-disk image. Thusly:

root@ubuntu:/media/disk-1# ls -al
total 39082701
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2009-07-12 13:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-08-18 19:04 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 878 2009-07-07 11:46 fdisk
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 701 2009-07-07 11:47 hdparm
-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 40020664320 2009-07-07 14:34 image-sda
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2009-07-07 12:02 md5sum
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2009-06-29 13:13 md5sum-sda
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-07-11 19:03 $RECYCLE.BIN
root@ubuntu:/media/disk-1# fdisk -ul image-sda
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.
Disk image-sda: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9c879c87
Device     Boot Start End      Blocks    Id System
image-sda1 *    63    78140159 39070048+ 7  HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(4863, 254, 63)
root@ubuntu:/media/disk-1# mount -o ro,loop,offset=32256 -t auto image-sda /media/image
root@ubuntu:/media/disk-1# cd ..
root@ubuntu:/media# cd image
root@ubuntu:/media/image# ls
AUTOEXEC.BAT favorites ntldr Start Menu blp INFCACHE.1 pagefile.sys System Volume Information boot.ini IO.SYS Program Files temp
CONFIG.SYS MSDOS.SYS RECYCLER WINDOWS Documents and Settings NTDETECT.COM spoolerlogs
root@ubuntu:/media/image#

The magic "32256" offset passed to "mount" is easily explained as the start of the partition you are interested in (63 in this case) multiplied by the unit size (512 in this case).  If you have more than one partition, just repeat the above steps for the other slices.
There you go. This easily saves several hours and untold gigabytes of disk space compared to the GCFA "carving out" method.

Removing MySQL from OSX Lion

Removing MySQL from OSX Lion

Recently I've had to remove a version of MySQL 5.5 from my Macbook so that I could go back to a 5.1 version. However it appears that there isn't an automatic way to remove and install an older version. A few google searches revealed a bulk of the removal process, but additional searching revealed a few more steps.

sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*
vim /etc/hostconfig # and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-

9/28/2011 - added comment on last line. Thanks Justin for pointing this out!

Aerosmith - Hole In My Soul

 

I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
(The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime)

Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
(So you tell me how it's gonna be this time)

Is it over
Is it over
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
And I'm all tapped out
(Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed)

I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head
(And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)

'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah,
'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn
Without a rose

Is it over
Yeah it's over
And I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah,
'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn
Without a rose 

BADSIG Cure

Try deleting the key

sudo apt-key del 16126D3A3E5C1192

then updating the repository

sudo apt-get update

You should get a NO_PUBKEY error instead of a BADSIG error and

sudo apt-key finger

should not find the key (called "Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key")
Now add the key

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192

The result of apt-key finger should have

pub   1024D/3E5C1192 2010-09-20
      Key fingerprint = C474 15DF F48C 0964 5B78  6094 1612 6D3A 3E5C 1192
uid                  Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key 

---

If that does not work, try

apt-get clean            # Remove cached packages
cd /var/lib/apt
mv lists lists.old       # Backup mirror info
mkdir -p lists/partial   # Recreate directory structure
apt-get clean
apt-get update           # Fetch mirror info

12 years and counting, but the feeling won't go.
It's like bitter syrup, already swallow it long time a go but still smell it today. You all maybe think this very funny, or awkward.  Whatever dud, you can say anything, you can laugh as loud as you can. You can call me crazy, whatever. It's didn't change this feeling, nor erase it.

Convert and resize picture with imagemagick

for img in *.jpg; do
base=`basename $img .jpg`
echo $base;
convert -resize 640x480 "$img" "$base.png"
