VirtualBox Installation Issues

History

I've been using VirtualBox for quite some time now. It has been a great tool to isolate my normal working environment from any changes I may make to the OS. It also allows me to work in my preferred OS - linux; even when I'm at work and am forced to use Windows. The road over the last year has been fairly easy. I've installed VirtualBox on a number of workstations and I even have one setup so that if the Windows box restarts, then one of the VirtualBox images automatically starts up (if I can remember how I did that I will updated this post).

Issue 1 - Installation Unexpectedly Failed

Yeah, that's the error message I got one day when I was trying to upgrade the version of VirtualBox. To this day, I don't know what caused it. I suspect that there was some update to the server done by the server operations people that had some adverse affect on VirtualBox. Don't get me wrong - I don't think that the ops people messed anything up, I just think that what they pushed had some unintended consequence

Dashing BitBucket Repo Stats

Description

This is a Dashing widget that is based on the Dashing GitHub Stats widget. This widget displays Last Activity, Open Issues, Open Pulls, Forks, and Watchers of a given set of BitBucket repositories.

Setup

  1. You can either copy and paste these files on your own, or you can use dashing install 15a542122b198449903d to copy the files into your dashing directory in place.
  2. Edit the bitbucket.yml file to configure the widget. An example configuration is below.
  3. Add bitbucket_rest_api and actionview gems to your Gemfile and run bundle install
  4. Add the widget to your dashboard erb file. The data-id value is the repository you want to display information for. An example is below.
