KDE Mime Type Issue

-
KDE3 freaked out on me recently.

If KDE says: "could not find mime type" (application octet-stream)
You do:
-> Delete '~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop'
-> reboot
OR
sudo kcontrol
-> File associations
-> "Add"
-> group: application
-> type name: octet-stream

Now do: happy dance

Text Sherlock the OpenGrok alternative (Source Code Search Engine)

-
Image
OpenGrok has taken much to long to setup in the past, so in my dissatisfaction, I wrote Text Sherlock . Text Sherlock strives to be an easy to setup version of OpenGrok , written in Python. Think of Text Sherlock as a personal source code search engine. But, it can be run from a dedicated server. Features: It has built-in support for whoosh and xapian backends. It provides a web search interface similar to GitHub. It quickly installs. Set the configuration options in the local_settings.yml script. Then run an installation script in your install directory. Once done, everything is a simple command. Web search interface. Matched document interface. Well documented and it works as expected. Check it out and drop a comment or submit an issue via GitHub. https://github.com/cbess/text-sherlock

Python SUDS with Windows Authentication (SOAP)

-
While intergrating Plone with CRM4, I stumbled upon Suds. However, it didn't support NTLM. Then I found python-ntlm, and merged the two libs. Below is the result. You can add it at the bottom of suds/transport.py class WindowsHttpAuthenticated(HttpAuthenticated): """ Provides Windows (NTLM) http authentication. @ivar pm: The password manager. @ivar handler: The authentication handler. @author: Christopher Bess """ def __init__(self, options): # try to import ntlm support try: from ntlm import HTTPNtlmAuthHandler except ImportError: raise Exception("Cannot import python-ntlm module") return HttpTransport.__init__(self, options) self.pm = u2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() self.handler = HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.HTTPNtlmAuthHandler(self.pm) self.urlopener = u2.build_opener(self.handler) u2.install_opener(self.urlopener) ...
