Re: Engine Autopsy - Random Musings

I know this is an old post ... But I'm in the process of rebuilding my 429 from a 65 Cadillac. You're right that some previous owner has been in yours. The dipstick tube is supposed to extend about three inches out of the hole. It's then bent out to clear the rod bearings. Cad500 has a good writeup on how to install the tube:
http://www.cad500parts.com/...

Whomever rebuilt that engine also probably dropped the washer in. Where the broken off piece of tube is is anyones guess. This is my first rebuild and the main things I've learned so far is if I ever go to buy a used car and they tell "it's got a rebuilt engine." I should step back very very slowly.

So I just had this same brilliant thought and realized I can't be the only one. (Google search brought me here). Yeah, I'm a little slow to the punch. What you said!

I just repaired by SB600 using Digikey parts. I used the inductor 513-1129-1-ND but the diode mentioned below (MA2J111 - 4 yrs ago) is discontinued so the sales rep recommended Digikey p/n DA2J10100LCT-ND: http://www.digikey.com/prod...

Next time, keep the gps for directions, skip all the other data collection, and just ride. Enjoy simply riding.

The way you say hobby cars reminds me of my all time favorite hobby of collecting RC cars. I am madly in love with these particularly for the ones at http://www.rchighperformanc...

I have exactly the same problem and I don't even remember dropping it. Also the part labeled 1.B next to the inductor has detached from the board. I need to figure out what it is. Thanks for the post! Gives me some hope. EDIT: Elgin, in the other thread, also identified the 1.B part. Thanks again!

I bought a SB-600 about 2 weeks ago on Craigslist that worked great the day after I bought it I dropped it in the case maybe 4 feet and it stopped working. Thanks to this article I was able to repair it Thanks.

Re: Policy for an S3 only Amazon IAM User

bwghughes — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:46:24 -0000

You can have a policy that inhibits bucket listing:

Here's mine:

{

"Statement": [

{

"Effect": "Allow",

"Action": ["s3:ListBucket" ],

"Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::{{ username }}"]

{

"Effect": "Allow",

"Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:DeleteObject"],

"Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::{{ username }}/*"]

}

]

}

Re: Modularizing your Grails Application – Domain Classes

Kelley Wierling — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:31:21 -0000

Okay, call me a nube, but I cannot find any other way to really test my plugin other than to test it as its own app, which isn't helpful, since it, as a plugin, is not supposed to be an island or to completely 'deploy' with every change, which is not so helpful.

Ted, can you please spell out how to use this portion (Modular Application Development with Plugins) of the grails 1.1 docs. I have read them, but again, this Nube is apparently not making the connection.

I have added the location to my BuildConfig.groovy:

grails.plugin.location.faxIt = "../plugins/FaxIt"

The plugin currently contains 2 domain classes and that is all. When I try to run the app with the plugin referenced, I get an error.

Error Error executing script RunApp: The following error occurred while executing this line:
jar:file:/C:/Library/grails-2.0.4/lib/org.apache.ant/ant/jars/ant-1.8.2.jar!/org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml:37: Could not create task or type of type: componentdef.

So, what have I not done to my plugin?

Thanks for taking a look.

Kelley

Have a problem with my Nissin 622. After a lot of flashing, it stops flashing. The green light on the back seems all fine. When I press the pilot button, it back for half a second then turn to green again. Checked the tube seems intact. Resistance of the Inductor is 8ohms. So not sure what is happening. Can anyone give some suggestions ?

Hi Claire,

Thanks for reading!

Unfortunately, the template I created is sadly out of date and likely won't work any longer.

The button you'll want to click is "Add Server" which will walk you through a nice wizard that should help you get the rest of the configuration figured out.

That said, watch this space for a massively updated version of my ServerTemplate for running Wordpress in a couple weeks. I'll go over how to take advantage of the latest features, and how to use the RightScale UI with it's latest changes.

Hi Jemshad,

Yes, you're quire right it should be in the cookbooks/recipes directory. Lots of people get caught up there. I've edited the post so it's clearer.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cfrances — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:49:34 -0000

Hi, I got to step 5 for the deployment after importing your template (not sure, but imported anyway although it mentioned deprecation); and there is no "deploy" button, where all else on the page is the same as your screenshot, it's now

Clone
Delete
Diff
Add Server
Search RightScripts

(where search is in place of deploy)... Can you assist in how to get going? I was able to opt under some of the tabs for the t1 micro but it did not include all of the other defaults, and only had a save, rather than continue button.

Thanks, Claire (cfrances@zoho.com)

Had the same issue lately - but was able to solder the "A100" part back on the board. Work great now.

shouldn't it be inside recipes inside the new cookbook directory?

Re: Grails Plugin Dependencies

Deadman Den — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:52:23 -0000

My requirement is

I will be having three projects.

1. Main project (Grails project)
2. Main project adaptor (Grails project)
3. Domains plugin project (Grails project)

Domains plugin project will be having all of the domain classes and its test cases in it. So, I want to use those domain classes in other two projects. Here, I want to build Domains plugin project first, and the output of this build project should be the dependency of other two projects. I should be able configure this in Build-config.groovy.

Presently, I am doing in the way you have explained in other post:

http://www.nslms.com/2010/0...

I created a plugin project using create-plugin and followed by package plugin command. Now, I kept that ZIP file in my lib folder and configured in Build-config.groovy. This works as expected. But, when ever I change domain classes, I need to do lot stuff. Like coping it to lib.

Is it possible to what I have mentioned in first para.

Donkeyote — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:08:23 -0000

I just fixed my SB600 by re-soldering the F100 inductor (no need to order a new one) and the adjacent resistor (I think)--all surface mount with the big side blob of solder technique. Bad design and a pretty tough fix. Not recommended for the amateur, not that I'm much above an amateur at this point in my sketchy electronic fix-it career!

Re: Grails Plugin Dependencies

Facundo D — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:58:53 -0000

What do you know about the plugins that my plugin uses? We are having an issue creating a WAR.
We have an app that depends on plugin A and it depends on other plugins: B, C by "build" scope.
The application should only "require" plugin A, and in my own opinion I just hoped that B and C will be included aswell, but that is not the case (strange, right?)

I think there must be some kind of dependency map for plugins but can't find it anywhere on the web (googling at least)

You can use a memcache plugin so that your cache level is a distributed cache store and will be more consistent than each machine having it's own cache.
