			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been working a lot with MySQL proxy lately and trying to figure out how it works is a major PITA. There is virtually no documentation for it and the best way to understand how it actually works is to read the source code.</p>
<p>This is a list of API functions discovered by reading plugin.c in the mysql_proxy SVN source. The list may be incomplete or not entirely accurate.</p>
<p>Bear with me as I try to get better &lt;pre&gt; tag stylization, right now this is the best I can do.</p>
<pre>[i] = integer based index

[s] = string based index

[proxy]

proxy.global - data structure shared amongst all lua state machines

proxy.global.config - sub structure (possibly added for esthetical reasons only)

proxy.backends - array of backends (shared)

proxy.connection - mysql connection object

[proxy.backends[i]]

proxy.backends[i].connected_clients - connected clients

proxy.backends[i].address - server Address

proxy.backends[i].state - status {BACKEND_STATE_UNKNOWN, BACKEND_STATE_UP, BACKEND_STATE_DOWN}

proxy.backends[i].type - type {BACKEND_TYPE_UNKNOWN, BACKEND_TYPE_RW, BACKEND_TYPE_RO}

proxy.backends[i].pool - connection pool object

[proxy.backends[i].pool]

proxy.backends[i].pool.max_idle_connections - max connections

proxy.backends[i].pool.min_idle_connections - min connections

proxy.backends[i].pool.users - hash table containing sockets hashed by username

[proxy.backends[i].pool.users[s]]

proxy.backends[i].pool.users[s].cur_idle_connections - number of sockets currently in the pool (meaning they are idle)

[proxy.connection]

proxy.connection.backend_ndx - id of active backend (magic value, setting it can trigger server socket changes, i.e: setting it to 0 returns the socket into the connection pool)

proxy.connection.server - server socket object

proxy.connection.client - client socket object

[proxy.connection.client]

proxy.connection.client.default_db - database

proxy.connection.client.username - user

proxy.connection.client.address - ip address (?)

proxy.connection.client.scrambled_password - password as it was sent from the client

[proxy.connection.server]

proxy.connection.server.default_db - database

proxy.connection.server.username - user

proxy.connection.server.address - ip address (?)

proxy.connection.server.scrambled_password - password as it was sent from the client

proxy.connection.server.mysqld_version - mysql version

proxy.connection.server.thread_id - connection id as set during the server handshake

proxy.connection.server.scramble_buffer - password hash (?)</pre>

<h4>How to import a self generated SSL certificate</h4>
<pre>
First, export the self-generated key 'mywebsite.com' to a file called mywebsite.com.cert on the server
keytool -export -keystore ~/mywebsite.com.keystore -alias mywebsite.com -file mywebsite.com.cert

Then download the cert file with FTP or SFTP to your local computer.

Finally, import the certificate 'mywebsite.com.cert' into a local cacerts keystore:
keytool -import -keystore $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts -storetype jks -alias mywebsite.com -file ./mywebsite.com.cert

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Note: This is a repost of the same article, which got deleted when my website was hacked.</em></p>
<p>I just spent over two hours figuring out how to get my microphone to work under windows vista 32bits with my new Soundblaster Audigy SE so I’m writing this blog post in the hopes that it will help someone in my situation.</p>
<p>I started by letting vista install the driver by downloading it from the windows update website but that proved to be a big mistake. The sound actually worked great but my microphone input was way too low to be usable on ventrilo. What you usually do in that case is activate mic boost but there was no +20db check box in my sound control panel and there was absolutely no way to increase the volume of my microphone.</p>
<p>What I tried next is downloading official drivers from the creative website. The file is 60MB and took a while to download but since it was gonna fix all my problems it was worth it. Guess what: Installer doesn’t work; it just tells me that there is already a more recent version of the driver installed. So I then proceeded to uninstall the driver through the Windows Device Manager and restart the installer. This time it tells me no supported hardware is found…</p>
<p>This is where I was only inches away from just taking the card out of my PC and return it to the store where I bought it. But there was one last hope, the files extracted by the installer could provide me with a way to install a working driver. I searched for those files, found the driver and installed it et voila, suddenly there is a +20db mic boost check-box and everything works fine.</p>
<p>So here is how I got my sound card to work:</p>
<p>(I give no guarantee that this will work for you and it might even go wrong so save any open documents)</p>
<p>1. download driver from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/</p>
<p>2. double click SB24_VTDRV_LB_1_04_0077.exe and let it extract the setup files.</p>
<p>3. wait until installer window is shown, once you see a window where you are asked to chose the setup language go to step 4 DON’T CLOSE THE INSTALLER WINDOW.</p>
<p>4. use “windows key” + R to bring up the run dialog, type   %WINDIR%\Temp   and hit enter.</p>
<p>5. look for a folder called CRF000, the modified date of that folder should be only minutes from your current system time.</p>
<p>6. open the CRF000 folder and inside open the Drivers folder, inside that folder is file called setup.exe that will happily install the official creative diver.</p>
<p>7. when asked if you want to replace your existing drivers say yes obviously <img class="wp-smiley" src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /></p>
<p>8. Back on the original installer window, click close to cancel the installation because you are done installing already.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Generally, poisons such as Instant Poison VI provide rogues with more damage increase then dense sharpening stones. However, certain mobs in MC are immune to poison. Generally mobs in MC are either Humanoids, Giants, Elementals or Beasts. The only type that is immune to poison are elementals, but elementals is also the most frequent type of creatures found in the instance.</p>
<p>You may have asked yourself if it would be wise to switch from poisons to sharpening stones depending on the type of mob that is being fought. Altough it would be possible to switch for each and every mob, it would also be very expensive since the trash mobs are a mix of elementals and other types. But it would still be possible to switch from time to time to optimize dps. The main goal is to use each type of weapon enhancment as long as possible, up to the maximum duration that you can get (usually 30 min). Poison can be replaced with sharpening stones if needed since the cost of poisons is significantly lower then sharpening stones.</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>The list of immune mobs should be something like this:</p>
<p>Immune:</p>
<p>Fire Lord<br />
Lava Anhiliator<br />
Lava Surger<br />
Baron Geddon<br />
Garr<br />
Firewalker<br />
Flameguard<br />
Ragnaros</p>
<p> <br />
Not immune:</p>
<p>All Core hounds<br />
Molten Giant<br />
Molten Destroyer<br />
Lucifron &#038; adds<br />
Magmadar<br />
Gehennas &#038; adds<br />
Shazzrah (not meleeable)<br />
Sulfuron Harbingger &#038; adds<br />
Golemagg<br />
Majordomo Executus &#038; adds</p>
<p>Considering the immunities, a typical Molten core raid would be somthing like this:</p>
<p>Start<br />
0:00 Trash mobs, Sharpening Stone<br />
0:20 Corehound packs before Lucifron, switch to poison<br />
0:30 Lucifron, poison still on<br />
0:40 Magmadar, poison still on<br />
0:50 Trash mobs, sharpening stone<br />
1:10 Gehennas, switch to poison<br />
1:15 Trash mobs, sharpening stone<br />
1:25 Garr, stone should still be up<br />
1:35 Lava packs, stone all the way<br />
1:45 Baron, poison time, deadly poison since you have to go out-in all the time<br />
1:55 Lava packs, sharpening<br />
2:05 Shazz, w00t go ranged DPS!<br />
2:25 Laval packs, stone will run out, switch to poison<br />
2:35 Sulfuron, poison<br />
2:45 Lava packs, sharpening<br />
3:00 Golemagg, poison (deadly)<br />
3:15 Majordomo, instant poison<br />
3:30 Rag&#8230; Sharpening stones &#8230;<br />
Phat lewtz, End.</p>
