The scripting fool

I just got back from the Ron Paul rally in Victoria. Here are some of the pics from the rally. There were people of all ages.

From Babies

And children

To the young at heart

And the always present sign wavers along the street.

Well, I have to admit I enjoyed watching him in person more than on YouTube

For years Americans have buying more and more stuff. We have demanded cheaper and cheaper products, which is why almost every store we know today has cut almost every corner possible to give us the rock bottom prices we wanted. But in this mad rush to sell more products cheaper than the competitors there was something lost, a focus on the customer. The one person that stores rely on to get their revenue. I for one am sad to see it gone.

When Wal-mart spread like a virus through the country selling only products made in China to save cost we applauded them, not with our hands but with our pocketbooks. In the process they put numerous smaller stores out of business, stores that prided themselves on good service. We didn’t care because they were too expensive.

Now, we have reached a point, hopefully the end of the pendulum swing, where customer service is at an all time low. Employees are less knowledgeable than before, companies have bait and switch sales to entice you into the store then nickel and dime you to death, and it’s reached into just about every industry.

Building Supplies
Recently I was reading a blog that talked about the seriously falling standards of Home Depot, including their staff not being knowledgeable and their prices being too high. This is something I too have noticed in the last few years. The CEO of Home Depot had even responded to the post, stating that he would work to change that perception. And he has been trying, Home Depot has been running commercials non stop illustrating how knowledgeable their employees are and of course the sales they’re having. The problem is that he’s only trying to change our perception of Home Depot, not how they actually do business. I’ve recently gone in several times and there’s never anybody around to ask questions or when you do find somebody they don’t have a clue. Their prices also don’t seem to be very competitive. Lowes almost always has a better price.

Cell Phone Providers
Cell phone providers are one of the worst examples of customer service. Take your pick Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint, Nextel, Helio… They’re all terrible. When a company, any company, has to make you sign a 1-year or 2-year contract before you’ve used their service there’s a problem. As a customer trying to decide which cell phone provider to use here are the steps I’d like to go through. 1) find a phone in my price range with the features I like, 2) Find a provider with a plan that I like, and 3) If I end up not liking the provider switch to another service with better coverage or customer service.

This is of course completely backwards in reality. You have to decide which provider to choose first, in my case I have Verizon. This can be difficult since almost all of them make you sign a 1 or 2 year contract, so you must choose wisely. Then I get to choose a phone from Verizon, which again can be tricky since all of Verizon’s phones have had the genitals removed from them, like being able to transfer files to them. I ended up getting a Razr, which has quite a few features, unless you get it from Verizon, then all the features have been disabled. Now I am stuck with a 2-yr contract. I have about a year left on my current contract and I can’t wait. I have found that if I ever do have any problems, like bad service or phone problems or billing mistakes, Verizon doesn’t really care, because they’ve got me for another year, whether or not their service is good.

I can almost see how their minds work.
“All these people keep leaving, complaining that we have bad service. What should we do?”
“Make them sign a contract so they can’t leave”
“Shouldn’t we just fix the problem?”
“What? No, that costs money”

Energy Companies
Energy companies, at least in Texas, have started doing the same thing. To start with, energy prices in Texas are higher than any other state, which is the exact opposite of what they said when they wanted to deregulate the energy industry. Anyway, they realized that people are switching energy companies to try to get lower prices, so all the companies have started to try to get their customers to sign multi year contracts to get a small discount. Again, this is terrible news. Instead of just giving us good prices they have to make us sign a contract so that we won’t keep switching companies.

Free Market
In most cases the free market principles would kick in and all the companies that provide bad service would loose their customers to companies that provide better services or, society as a whole wouldn’t buy the product at all, as we saw with some of the bad food products from China. But for some reason the industries above really haven’t improved and the market hasn’t kept them in check. This has lead me to question the free market principles somewhat. It is obviously not effective in the markets above, mainly because they aren’t free markets. There is no choice between companies, because they’re all doing the same thing.

So, is the solution to regulate these industries? or is it to wait and let the market take it’s course, hoping that eventually it will correct itself?

I’ve been using MythTV for about 2 years now, and I decided to install from packages instead of from source like I normally do. The install was pretty normal (this only works in edgy and above):

sudo apt-get install mythtv mysql-client mysql-server mysql-common

But I kept getting errors about not being able to connect to the database. The errors would scroll off the screen. After doing some research I figured out that I had to edit the file /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt to include the correct password.

When I initially installed Ubuntu on my system I was using apache 1.3. This was several years ago, but since then I wanted to use Apache 2, which I just couldn’t get to start. I would run the standard script:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start

But nothing happened. It took some time, but I finally found the solution. I edited the file /etc/default/apache2 and changed NO_START=1 to NO_START=0

There should be more detail about how to upgrade multiple releases at a time. I got a little behind on my upgrades for one of my boxes and decided to bring it up to date this weekend. So, here’s what I did:

• Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to change breezy to dapper
• $ sudo apt-get update
• $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• reboot

Looks good so far, everything succeded, so I decided to upgrade to edgy… (don’t do these steps!)

• Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to change dapper to edgy
• $ sudo apt-get update
• $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Unfortunately this doesn’t work. I got the error

trying to overwrite `/sbin/vol_id', witch is also in package udev

So what happened here? Why did the first dist-upgrade work and not the second? Well, I was applying the updates to the dapper release as they came out, so when I decided to do a dist-upgrade all the necessary packages were already installed. However I didn’t do any apt-get upgrades between the two dist-upgrades. Thus, some packages didn’t get upgraded in the proper fashion, namely udev and volumeid.

Back to solving this problem though…

• First change the sources.list file back to dapper
• $ sudo apt-get -f install # this will remove any packages in a bad state
• $ sudo apt-get update
• $ sudo apt-get upgrade
• $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• $ sudo apt-get upgrade
