Ubuntu Use Centered Windows

Ubuntu defaults to having your applications launch in different locations of your screen based on unused screen space, rather than to consistently appear in the center of your screen. I can see how this is useful for some, but it frustrates me. Here is how to change that.

Open Compiz.
Open up the "Place" plugin under "Window Management".
Set Placement Mode to "Centered"

TSM I Betcha Didnt Use TradeSkillMaster for This!

Hey folks!

Not everyone uses TradeSkillMaster, but if you are or even consider yourself a Goblin, an AHer, or....heh, heh, are a gold blogger that doesnt use TSM to sell your goods, you are waaaaaay behind the times. Download it from Curse, donate to Sapu and co. and set it up already!

Now to my point of this post. Since most of my readers are using TSM for something, whether its for your Gemmies, Chants, Gear Crafting, or Scribbling, I am probably guessing you had no idea what else to use it for.....Vendoring Flips (but I am also guessing that the cocky fuckers are gonna say "I have been doing that for a long time".....but I call bullshit on that one).

Do you buy and re-sell vendor goods? I am talking anything from Obsidium Hatchlings to Transmute: Primal Might. From Recipe: Redridge Goulash to Pattern: Comfortable Insoles. Whatever niche you hit, theres a quick way to post these...

Familiar with TSM? Easy to setup. The pics are from my Scribe....So bear with me a second:


Step 1: Go into your category (in this case, 4.2 glyphs in the pic below). Control click your "vendor goods" (in this case, my fermulahs) and go to the little Add button. *poof* They magically appear on the right side...Amazing, huh? No? Okay. Its still cool.



Step 2: POST!

*You can see its auto undercut to your settings in your group (or just make a new group, but I am showing you the easiest way, remember?)





Step 3: UHHHHH?!?!!?!

*Yes, my "fallback" when no glyphs are in the AH is 322g 55s. And yes, they do sell at that price....

Now if you do the quick and easy route, the vendor recipies/formulas, pets/etc, that you are selling will have an autofallback to your settings for the rest of the group.




I would recommend setting up a new group for your main "vendor" toon with all your route items. You might want to set up a specific group for the more "rare" formulas, one for pets, one for "generics" like good ol fishing poles, whatever your liking. However if you are just doing a few, and not a hundred, just follow the steps above for a quick cancel/repost, scans, ect. Did I mention I love TSM?!


If you are new to the vendor flipping market, there are a few addons you might like. I have used Recipe Profit for Gathermate for some time, but its broke since 4.3. A little searching showed "Recipe Radar", which claims to be updated for 4.3, so a test might be in order on that one. If you hate addons, here are a few posts dedicated to vendor runs that are on my favorites:

Kathros Thunder Bluff
Sinshrouds Outland Supply
Please, please be careful when doing this. You want to make sure to check all your settings before you go posting something for 5g when you should be getting 500 if no auctions are up. Feel me? Whats the saying, measure twice, cut once? Yeah. Do that here.

Hope you learned something today kiddos. Now leave an apple at my desk when the bell rings. No homework for tomorrow, but you have a test next week.

Now that I am thinking about it, Sapu, I wonder how hard it might be to rock out a  VendorMaster Addon? Its a stretch, but would be interesting nonetheless.

Ubuntu 12 04 Set Docker To Use the LXC Container Engine

As of Docker 0.9, docker does not use LXC by default for the container engine. However, one may find it useful to do so, in order to attach to running containers with a new TTY.

Method 1 - Installation Script

Simply copy the following script into a file and execute it with

#!/bin/bash

# Ensure running bash not sh etc
if ! [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ];then
 echo "this is not bash, calling self with bash....";
 SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
 /bin/bash $SCRIPT
 exit;
fi

# Ensure running as root user
USER=`whoami`

if [ "$USER" != "root" ]; then
 echo "You need to run me with sudo!"
 exit
fi

apt-get update && apt-get install lxc -y
echo DOCKER_OPTS="-e lxc" >> /etc/default/docker
service docker restart

Method 2 - Manual Steps

Ensure that you already have LXC installed by running the following command

sudo apt-get install lxc -y

Edit the /etc/default/docker file and adding "-e lxc" as shown below:
Restart the docker service by running
sudo service docker restart
or by rebooting the server
