- 2005 MINI Cooper Lug Bolt Torque Specifications
I had another flat tire today. Skip to the bottom if you just need information on the lug bolts BMW uses on the 2005 MINI Cooper. Or, read ahead to hear how difficult it was for me to find this information on the Internet! Anyways, as always, the tire pressure sensor indicator lit up before I knew anything was wrong. I carefully drove into a parking lot, took out the tire pressure gauge I carry in the trunk and measured 16 psi. Note to those of you who do not regularly check your tire pressures: the tire should measure 30 psi (when cool not after being driven) and it did not visibly look flat nor even low on air.
... - Specifying Environment Variables (Or How To Use Env In Your Shebangs) With mod_fcgid
I recently switched from using a cluster of Mongrels on my Rails staging server to using FastCGI on Apache 2 with mod_fcgid installed. One thing that bugged me is that my dispatch.fcgi file would trigger the infamous Application Error: Rails application failed to start properly if I did not hardcode the path to my Ruby interpreter in the shebang of the script (e.g., the first line of the file appearing like:
...#!/opt/local/bin/ruby). I prefer to use the env program (e.g., the first line of the file appearing like#!/usr/bin/env ruby) so that my scripts are (fairly) portable across platforms where interpreters are located in different locations.
