Nearly indistinguishable from the real Git man pages. For instance:
When git-swagger-subtree sends a ref, the --cultivate-nail-logargument can be used to reset an index for the subtree that is saved by a staged origin, so to archive a staged<elevate-stash> and/or show the working stages, use the command git-guard-remote --hit-dissect-change.

PhpStorm Won't Open on Linux
Recently PhpStorm suddenly failed to start under Debian Sid. Digging around in the log (~/.WebIde70/system/log/idea.log) I found this strange error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.intellij.openapi.wm.impl.TestWindowManager cannot be cast to com.intellij.openapi.wm.impl.WindowManagerImpl at com.intellij.idea.IdeaApplication.run(IdeaApplication.java:158) at com.intellij.idea.MainImpl$1$1$1.run(MainImpl.java:59) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:251) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:733) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$200(EventQueue.java:103) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:694) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:692) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:76) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:703) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:242) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:161) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:150) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:146) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:138) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:91) Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.intellij.openapi.wm.impl.TestWindowManager cannot be cast to com.intellij.openapi.wm.impl.WindowManagerImpl at com.intellij.idea.IdeaApplication$IdeStarter.main(IdeaApplication.java:229) at com.intellij.idea.IdeaApplication.run(IdeaApplication.java:152) ... 15 more
Turns out that I had somehow lost my JDK installation. i.e.
> dpkg --get-selections | egrep "jdk|jre" openjdk-7-jre:amd64 install openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 install
The fix is easy!
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Even though OpenJDK isn't officially supported by JetBrains, I've had no issues running it for years.
Here's a foolproof guide for creating a bootable USB drive from your Mac. No need for UNetbootin, and should work with any Linux distro.

This article from The Atlantic offers a fascinating new perspective on the American Civil War. It questions whether or not the horrific bloodshed was worth the outcome.
... the war [did not] knit the nation back together. Instead, the South became a stagnant backwater, a resentful region that lagged and resisted the nation's progress. It would take a century and the Civil Rights struggle for blacks to achieve legal equality, and for the South to emerge from poverty and isolation.
What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.
Helen Keller, quoted in the Boulder, Colo., Daily Camera
It's not big enough to completely cover a horse's head, and it doesn't provide enough air flow for them, either.

Melissa doesn't understand why I enjoy these videos. And truthfully, I'm not sure why I enjoy these videos. But for some reason I am highly entertained by watching accidents...

Disable Screen Lock in GNOME Shell / Cinnamon
I’ve recently switched all my Linux workstations to Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) with Cinnamon as my desktop environment. Overall this has been a joy, and I feel free of the Ubuntu weight that I’d been carrying around for a few years. But since Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME Shell, I’ve also had a few instances where things weren’t quite working the way I wished they would. One such case is the screen lock. Anytime the GNOME Shell “screensaver” (actually just a black screen) comes on, I was forced to type in my password. In a work or public environment this protection makes sense. But when I’m home step away for a few minutes, it’s a nuisance to have to repeatedly type my password just to get back to what I was doing. Searching around the Internet didn’t immediately reveal a quick fix. I figured it must be something I could control with gsettings, but I had no idea what the key would be. So I decided to take a look at the source code for gnome-screensaver and stumbled upon the following snippet:
#define LOCKDOWN_SETTINGS_SCHEMA "org.gnome.desktop.lockdown" #define KEY_LOCK_DISABLE "disable-lock-screen"
Ohhh, now that looks promising. Let’s see if the lock is enabled…
$> gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false
OK, let’s disable it!
$> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true
Voila! No more screen lock. I certainly felt lucky to have found that code so quickly. Now, there’s a caveat. This will entirely disable your screen lock. So you can’t hit Ctrl-Alt-L to lock your screen if you are working on something sensitive. Turns out someone filed a buge with GNOME, so at least the developers are aware of the problem. Happy hacking!
Letter to Self... from 1993
Mom was going through some old files recently and discovered a strange envelope labeled
Eric Hough Do not open until June 2003
A quick check of the calendar revealed that this letter was indeed 8 years overdue for opening. Thanks a lot, Mom. Geez. Inside I was surprised with a hand-written note, dated June 2, 1993, from my 12 year old self to my 22 year old self! Enjoy.
Fix upside-down iPhone videos with mencoder
Accidentally shoot a video upside-down with your iPhone? Don't worry, it's easy to create a flipped copy that retains just about all the quality. Here's how to do it using free tools on Mac OS X, though this should work on any *nix platform.
Use MacPorts to install mencoder with the H.264codec.
$> sudo port -d install mplayer-devel +mencoder_extras
Use mencoder to make a flipped copy of your video
$> mencoder -oac pcm -ovc x264 -vf flip,mirror -of lavf -x264encopts subq=6:partitions=all:me=umh:frameref=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid=1:weight_b:threads=auto input.mov -o output.mov
Of course, replace input.mov with the path to your input movie.
Ideally we would just flip the video without re-encoding it, but turns out this is impossible. I'm not a video encoding expert, but this will produce a copy of your video that has no noticeable quality degradation. I like H.264's quality/compression ratio, so I grabbed a few of their recommended high quality settings. One minor issue is that the flipped video has no video stream, only audio, in Quicktime Player 10.0. Oddly, they'll play normally in a browser with the Quicktime plugin. Plus the videos will upload to Flickr or YouTube just fine. See the difference for yourself

New Year's Fun
Three weeks late, but I wanted to share what an awesome time Melissa and I had on New Year’s 2010. My favorite local brewery, Port Brewing of Pizza Port fame, teamed up with my favorite local beer bar, Toronado San Diego.
After 14 hours and a nearly cancelled flight coming back from Pennsylvania (with a delightful free upgrade to first class), I arrive in San Diego around 6pm. We hit Toronado around 8:30 p.m. to find it not too crowded. I think we were both expecting it to be slammed. Instead we sat right down at the bar and ordered the IPA flight, which consisted of 11 IPA’s at 4oz each. Being good students, we took notes on each…
Oh but the night was just getting started! We then decided to switch gears and did the stout and porter flight. Another delicious 11 brews with notes…
We both agreed the best beer of the night was the California Honey Ale, of which we both got a pint or two. Pizza Port also brought down some sort of a mobile pizza oven to cook really cheap pizza in the alley out back. Sweet. All in all a great time. Made me love Port and Toronado even more, and I hope they do something like this again!
A Tribute to Dr. Rod
My dad worked with Carlisle High School Athletics for as long as I can remember. He would do the physicals for the athletes before each season, and he stood on the sidelines during football games as the team doctor. I could tell he enjoyed the work - much of it was volunteer based. At the first football game of this season on September 25 2009, Dave Hutchinson (a friend of Dad’s) read the following tribute before kickoff.
Ladies and gentleman, about six weeks ago, one of the most dedicated friends of the Carlisle High School athletic programs passed away. Dr. Rodney Hough was just 65, but throughout his life had spent countless hours giving of himself to others —and our athletes here at Carlisle were frequently on the receiving end of his generosity. Dr. Hough was a pretty fair athlete himself; a scholarship football player at the University of Virginia, who went on to graduate from the UVA Medical School. He established a practice here in 1975, and as the years went by, became a constant presence on the sidelines, often caring for injured players at his own expense. His sons proudly worth the Green-and White a decade ago, and contributed to the championship squads of the late ‘90's and 2000. We ask that you please rise, and help us observe a few moments of silence to honor the memory of Dr. Rodney Hough, an Air Force veteran during the Vietnam War, and remain standing as the Carlisle High School band plays our National Anthem.

Help for Addicted Doctors - My father interviewed by CBS
My father, Dr. Rodney Hough, interviewed by CBS back in 2007 regarding his recovery from addiction to pain pills. This aired on CBS 21 News, which serves central Pennsylvania, in February 2008.
They've got a red hot offense
It seems surreal to post a video that was forwarded to me. But as the email stated...
The Steelers are a religion and thus must be worshipped.
These kids are all 11, 12, or 13 years old. Lots of talent. I'm most impressed with the lead vocals. Go Stillers!
