Ubuntu 10.10 Nicer Console
I posted a while ago about changing the resolution of the linux console for my VirtualBox machine. Year ago (seems like just yesterday) you could hack on “vga=xxx” in order to change the resolution. Then around Ubuntu 10.04 (maybe even 9.10) there was a new way which didn’t work with VirtualBox at the time. That prompted this:
Quick Way to Have a Nicer Console
Now that Ubuntu 10.10 is out and popular, I’ve finally gotten around to running it on my VirtualBox. Well, it’s changed again, and even easier now to set a better resolution for the console.
Changing Virtual Console Resolution in Ubuntu 10.10
Works great in VirtualBox 3.2.12on my Mac. Hope it does for you too.

Made this last night. Seems to work well, but might be a little sweet for some.

SQLCipher, OS X, and -arch madness
LTCOMPILE_EXTRAS=”-arch i386 -arch x86_64” make
OS X ships a FAT libsqlite3.dylib. It includes both x86_64 and i386 (and ppc7400) code. I’m trying to write a ruby extension that can call the new sqlite3_key() methods from C, rather than just going through “PRAGMA” in Ruby.
Getting my new library to link to the new SQLCipher build has been driving me up the wall. Luckily, there it is! Add both architectures in the LTCOMPILE_EXTRAS environment and run make.
Architectures in the fat file: .libs/libsqlite3.dylib are: i386 x86_64
Of course, now how do I figure out how to get a sqlite3* in C when my database connection is actually being initialized from Ruby!?Snowy night at the park.
