TOSSIM Python compiling problem

When you use TOSSIM in TinyOS, you come up to this error:

In function ‘void SWIG_Python_FixMethods(PyMethodDef*, swig_const_info*, swig_type_info**, swig_type_info**)’
error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’

(overall there are two errors like this one)

First check whether the error can be solved using solution on TinyOS wiki website on
TOSSIM .

If even than, it doesn't work,
go to $TOSROOT/tos/lib/tossim and run ./generate-swig.bash
In my case, it shows you some warnings, but that is ok.
afterwards, it worked fine for me.

If you still have troubles, check also:
python and python-dev should be on the same version,
swig should be installed.

If all this didnt solve your problems, good luck finding it, and I hope you put the solution somewhere on internet as well.

Take a look also on which version is written in sim.extra
Sometimes, for some other app requirements, you have updated the version of Python. Most likely, everything is already set, just a small thing called PYTHON_VERSION should be the right value.

Exporting Skype Chat/Skype Contacts to csv file using the shell script and sqlite3 (usually already installed on mac)

Edit: a very first draft version of Skype Exporter have been made and released. https://github.com/renesto/SkypeExportSwift/releases check it, and report any issues to renesto-at-gmail.com I heard there are not so many nice ways to get the chat history from skype, so I came across a page of one guy who shows a way to open the sql chat history database and delete all conversations. I thought to make something more from that idea (as delete chat history is now one of the options in skype) Create a file exportFromSkype.sh place either this text: sqlite3 -batch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Skype/$1/main.db" < <EOF .mode csv .output $2.csv select * from Messages where dialog_partner = '$2'; .output stdout .exit EOF now make the script executable by running chmod +x exportFromSkype.sh now, when you want to export some chat history from certain person, you can do it by: sh exportFromSkype.sh your_skype_name your_friends_skype_name and i...

Javascript comparison operators

I came across very nice short explanation of the differences between == and === comparison operators. I have copied this into my blog just in case the post gets deleted from stackoverflow for whatever reason. The identity (===) operator behaves identically to the equality (==) operator except no type conversion is done, and the types must be the same to be considered equal. Reference: Javascript Tutorial: Comparison Operators The == operator will compare for equality after doing any necessary type conversions . The === operator will not do the conversion, so if two values are not the same type === will simply return false. It's this case where === will be faster, and may return a different result than ==. In all other cases performance will be the same. To quote Douglas Crockford's excellent JavaScript: The Good Parts , JavaScript has two sets of equality operators: === and !== , and their evil twins == and != . The good ones work the way you would expect. ...
