PhotoSynth message I got
Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.
At least they’re honest at PhotoSynth.

MySQL on Lenny and permissions
Ok, had something strange that I think is worth a share. I just upgraded a virtual machine to Lenny and installed MySQL and phpMyAdmin and apache and the like. Created a user for a Django project I’m working on and it couldn’t connect. I tried resetting the password several times, didn’t help. Then, out of frustration, I tried connecting without a password and… it worked!
Apparantly, by default, the MySQL in Lenny created access rules that allow all local users to access the database without a password. These have priority over the specific user controls. A bit unexpected and I suspect others to run into this. Could make you search for a problem if you’re installing a shared webhosting machine with a local MySQL database.
Solution:
delete from mysql.user where User='';
Debian’s Trac: “SubversionException: (‘No such revision 1′, 160006)”
A bit annoying, but the workaround (fix?) is easy. Edit /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/trac/versioncontrol/cache.py, line 114. You’ll see pass there, change it into return. Fixed.
Also described in Debian bugreport #438864. Took me a while to find it, so referencing it here.

You might know I’m an OpenID supporter, so this site is totally up my alley: Demand OpenID!
