Comment on Setting up EC2 for Drupal with Puppet by Louis St-Amour

Thanks, the mysql_secure_installation snippet was just what I needed. FYI, I’ve been hacking together a .pp manifest using puppetlabs’ modules as a base, they’ve ones for apt, apache and mysql that are quite useful, once you figure out how. ;-)

I was able to get it by doing the following:

body .syntaxhighlighter code,
body .syntaxhighlighter table caption,
body .syntaxhighlighter .gutter {
font-size: 12px !important;
}

Thanks for the helpful blog post!

Do you have any idea how to style a fix for the Title for the SyntaxHighlighter? V3 of the highlighter supports titles (has one by default that is the language name), and its still a small font.

I wanna get the “kindle gps” app installed on the kindle fire to connect with the “wifi gps server” app that’s on my HTC EVO. The app is on google play and it doesn’t make sence why its there but aparently google has now blocked the kindle for its high sales. Any suggestions of a quick fix? I’m not good with programming computers

I use app back in Astro file manager. Copy the app .apk created in backup folder to computer or cloud drive then onto kindle and install. Works fine and have used for dozen of apps my kids want that are not on amazon. Never tried on paid app from play store however.

I mentioned in the blog post that Google Play itself doesn’t seem to work. I haven’t taken time to dig and figure out why. I’d suspect the same will be true of Google Music, though I wouldn’t let that stop you from trying it anyway. The only app I’ve sideloaded thus far is TinyShark. Would be interested to see what you’re able to find out.

This didn’t work for me, but .syntaxhighlighter .code (code as class name, not as element type) did. Thanks!

Instead of installing the SDK you can just use “Appinstaller” to export an APK of any App you would like on your Kindle Fire
