Because I had this problem and I could not find a list of MySQL error codes on the Internet, I've decided to implement my own MySQL error codes enum. It is based on MySQL 5.1.35 sources, include/mysqld_ername.h file.
Now I can do something like this:

You can find the java file here.

The development for Midnight Commander seems to be revived. There is a new site that supports it's development at http://www.midnight-commander.org They are keeping the sources on a git repository and they accept patches.

This is good news for me, as I have some old issues with Midnight Commander and this might stimulate me to fix them

If you encounter the following error when you try to mount a cifs filesystem:
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

try to:
#emerge mount-cifs

I did not find any indications on the net that a separate package should be installed in order to use cifs.

Later Update: same problem in ubuntu, you need to install smbfs
#apt-get install smbfs

As I started to look at GWT and its related widgets, tutorials and utilities, I thought that it might be an idea to put the information together into a Wiki site. This way, GWTpedia.com was born. Everyone is free to edit.

Here is a python script to generate words using Markov chains. The archive also contains some dictionaries (English, Romanian, Romanian names). This is similar with http://www.fourteenminutes.com/fun/words/ but you have the possibility to use your own word dictionaries.

Here is a script to easy publish your ssh2 public key to the remote sites you frequently connect to.

Example:
sshpubkey.sh user@example.com

You will now be able to connect to example.com from your machine without entering the password.

Here is a script to easy change the default blue scheme of Midnight Commander.

Unpack the archive and do:

./mc_change_theme.sh puthre.theme

To revert to the default scheme just:

./mc_change_theme.sh default.theme

The script will modify your ~/.mc/ini file. Please make sure that Midnight Commander is not running when you change your theme.

Here is how a theme file looks:
BASE_COLOR=lightgray,blue
NORMAL=lightgray,blue
SELECTED=black,cyan
MARKED=yellow,blue
MARKSELECT=yellow,cyan
ERRORS=white,red
MENU=white,cyan
REVERSE=black,lightgray
DNORMAL=black,lightgray
DFOCUS=black,cyan
DHOTNORMAL=blue,lightgray
DHOTFOCUS=blue,cyan
VIEWUNDERLINE=brightred,blue
MENUHOT=yellow,cyan
MENUSEL=white,black
MENUHOTSEL=yellow,black
HELPNORMAL=black,lightgray
HELPITALIC=red,lightgray
HELPBOLD=blue,lightgray
HELPLINK=black,cyan

CORE=red,blue
SPECIAL=black,blue
EDITNORMAL=lightgray,blue

ERRDHOTNORMAL=yellow,red

Here is the result:

Disable confcache in /etc/make.conf if you are getting this when trying to emerge device-mapper.1.02.19 on Gentoo:
checking target system type... config.sub: missing argument
Try `config.sub --help' for more information.
configure: error: /bin/sh autoconf/config.sub failed

!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
!!! A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.19/temp/build.log'.
