Self, The Market and the NFL

How you see yourself, a parody.

The Market – “If you can imagine paying 20 bucks for a crappy PB&J because some evil cabal of agribusiness companies colluded to fix the prices of both peanuts and peanut butter, you come close to grasping the lunacy of financial markets where both interest rates and interest-rate swaps are being manipulated at the same time, often by the same banks.”

In honor of the NFL draft and Barkevious Mingo

Using both Java 1.7 and 1.6 on Mountain Lion

Here’s the situation you need to use both JDK 1.7 and JDK 1.6 for different projects you are working on with Mac OS X. You already have Java 1.6 installed and ran the installer for Java 1.7 from Oracle but no matter what you do java -version will only show 1.6.

Here’s what you do to use 1.7 run the following:
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK

To use 1.6 run the following:
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK

Note you may have to adjust for the exact version for example if you installed jdk1.7.0_12.jdk.

Here’s an example:
thor:~ dan$ sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
thor:~ dan$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
thor:~ dan$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)
thor:~ dan$ sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
thor:~ dan$ sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
thor:~ dan$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

Tuesday Forecast

No big blockbuster names this week, at least not here, but still some quality for the love of it music. Coaltrain brings a hard feminine voice to some future/present/past/modern, out there, chunky r&b/soul/jazz/funk and that album gets evened out a bit with French producer Dandy Teru’s jazzy, soul, hip hop featuring some vocals from Moka Only, Rita J, and Nashville emcee/produer Count Bass D (amazon link is for the cd, if you’re looking for Mp3 version you can get it directly from Ubiquity Records). For the hip hop heads we also got Mitchy Slick (Strong Arm Steady associate) doing it with Murs, Planet Asia, Krondon. There’s also a couple cd only releases like the very special 15 year anniversary ep from Binary Star and then Illogic & Blockhead with some features by Slug and Abstract Rude among others.
