Estava precisando passar alguns arquivos do Ubuntu para o Windows XP[bb] que estava rodando no Virtual Box e me surgiu uma dúvida: como fazer? Simples: basta usar as pastas compartilhadas!

Então lá vai:

Abra o Virtual Box, e inicie sua máquina virtual. No menu, selecione "Dispositivos > Instalar Adicionais Para Convidado".


Quando essa janela aparecer, clique em "Next >":

Leia e aceite os termos:

Selecione o local da instalação:

Depois ele vai pedir para reiniciar o sistema, selecione "Reboot now" e depois clique em "Finish":

Depois que a máquina reiniciar, no menu selecione "Dispositivos > Pastas Compartilhadas...". Essa janela irá aparecer:

Clique no na pasta com um "+" para adicionar um compartilhamento. Essa janela deve aparecer:


Selecione a pasta e as opções conforme você preferir

Agora vá até "Iniciar > Executar" e digite:
net use F: \\vboxsvr\NOME_DA_PASTA
Note que F: é a letra da unidade, e NOME_DA_PASTA é... o nome da pasta xD

Agora vá até "Meu Computador":


E está lá, sua pasta compartilhada!

Ufa, agora você pode compartilhar arquivos entre a máquina hospedeira e a máquina virtual.

Vale lembrar que foi utilizado uma máquina virtual rodando Windows XP SP2.

  • Exposing a simple service: getting to know OSB basics such as Business and Proxy Services, and simple routing rules and transformation capabilities based on XQuery.
  • New adapters: getting to know the adapter support in OSB such as the e-mail adapter.

My daughter's birth two days ago was a singular experience. I'm sure any other proud father out there will attest to wonder of the miraculous process God created.

Before the day of the Big Dance, I knew I would miss having my folks and my wife's folks there in the hospital with us. When my son was born four years ago we lived in the same city and enjoyed them all being able to see the new little guy right away. I began to think of ways to bring that sense of intimacy back even though we're a day's drive away, and streaming video over the Internet came to mind. First I thought of Skype but realized that only one other party would be able to participate for video--once you add another participant in the call there is no video capability. Then I considered some of the multi-video chat services out there like Tiny Chat, but knew connectivity was sure to be an issue.

I also realized that we also wanted to maintain a sense of intimacy, which meant that any solution that allowed other participants in the stream to talk or have video would be a little too much for us. That's when I happened upon uStream.tv after googling "private video broadcast" and finding an article about a new privacy feature there. uStream.tv basically provides one-way video and audio streaming with numerous interactive features added to the experience.

I already had a ustream.tv account but had to spend a few minutes reorienting myself to the user interface, which is not the most intuitive:

I then created a new show and found the settings for it. Half way down the page there's an option to require a password. Boom. All set. I went to the show's main page where there are a slew of options for letting other people know about the show. I chose the email option and sent word to both sets of parents via email.

Voila! A very memorable stage was set for the birth experience. I set my laptop on the hospital's rolling food tray and adjusted it from time to time as our little one arrived, ensuring a 'safe' angle. Our closest family members were able to share the precious moments. They were able to text chat with me and each other as part of the ustream.tv 'show', which added another layer of meaning to the experience. 

I hope you consider ustream.tv as an option if you're in the same situation we were in: a little farther from home but still wanting to share the cherished moments of life in a way that maintained a sense of intimacy for everyone.

Other notes:

 

  • Folks had to sign up for a ustream.tv account before being able to chat. A little annoying but understandable.
  • Video and audio quality were great--I was using a Mac but for PC's there is a higher-quality video encoded available for free
  • I let the nurses know why the laptop was set up there--they didn't seem to mind a bit and waved at whoever was watching
  • uStream.tv allows you to record segments of the show at-will. Not only can you share the moment but you can save the highlights forever as well.

Plain ol’ pumpkin carvings are so old-hat. For geeks, it should be all about what you put in the pumpkins, not what you put on them. If you want to celebrate your Halloween with some geeky flair, see the list after the jump.

1. Skull-In-Pumpkin

Intricate designs not your thing? Ryan McFarland over at www.zieak.com has got you covered. Despite being fairly easy to make, the effect is fantastic. The pumpkin guts draped over the skull definitely makes this piece. The plastic skull is reusable too! (Instructions via Instructables)

2. Jack-o-Laser of Doom

Want to host some sweet Halloween raves? This is the project for you! This freaky-looking thing spits out a laser vortex using some smoke-and-mirrors trick (literally!) I’m personally looking for something to spice up my front porch this Halloween, and a laser vortex might just be the ticket. (Instructions via vatosupreme at Instructables)

3. Cylon Jack-o-Lantern

This one is for all you BSG fans out there (the original series!). If you’ve always wanted to your very own Centurion head staring down any kid who dared to stray to close to your steps (though they’ll probably think it’s a “clone trooper” or something) head on over to Evil Mad Scientist for the instructions! (They have also recent put out a new version of the Larson Scanner used in the original design, or you can purchase it from their webstore, if you can’t etch your own PCB’s)

4. The Snap-o-Lantern

Another one from the folks over at Evil Mad Scientist. This inconspicuous little guy snaps its menacing jaws at 20-second intervals. OK, fine. It’s not at all menacing, but it is rather cute. (Instructions at Evil Mad Scientist)

5. Silly String Shooter Pumpkin

This Arduino-powered pumpkin looks harmless enough at first… but if anyone gets too close then bam! Silly string attack! The design is modular so that you won’t have to replace the entire mechanism once you’re out of silly ammo, making it very convenient to cover friends, family, and little children in silly string (just don’t get it in anyone’s hair!). Plus, the thing tweets. (Instructions via erickinston atInstructables)

One of the erks of the iPhone is the requirement for a 4 number passcode for unlocking. This can be a major security risk as well as inconvenient for some. However, there is a solution, by using a 'profile' that can be loaded onto any iPhone (or iPod Touch) that will enable the alphanumeric keypad.

To start, download this file (or the one attached)

Click here to download:
password (2).mobileconfig (1 KB)

 onto your PC or Mac. 
Send the file via email only to your email address that can be accessed on your iPhone.
Now onto the iPhone.
Remove any passcode that you have installed.
Go into email and tap the attachment that you sent.

This will open an installation screen for the profile.

Tap install and ignore any warnings.

You will be prompted to enter and re enter an alphanumerical password.

Once accepted you can go into the regular password setting and change the settings to your liking.
When locked and the slider slid you will now see a new password entering screen for your password with the 'Enter' as the Emergency Call.

If you wish to remove this, I would recommend changing the password to an only numerical one first. Then go into 'General' - 'Profiles' - 'Alpha Passcode' and tap Remove. Again, tap in your password and ignore any warnings.

If this doesn't work for whatever reason I will try my best to help.
