web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade: Apache: documented that this breaks MultiViews, so you need to rewrite .htaccess files to avoid using MultiViews

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: PostgreSQL: query planner: documented how to prevent incorrect query plans (`SET enable_seqscan = off;`, etc.)
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: PostgreSQL: query planner: documented that incorrect query plans are an ongoing bug in Postgres, because it does not support index hints and by default does not follow the join order. specifically, Postgres often does the following things in query plans which should normally never be done:...
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: PostgreSQL: added description of join_collapse_limit config param (which should be turned off, although it is on by default). added links for using TIDs ("the fastest possible access to a single row").
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: PostgreSQL: added links for troubleshooting autovacuuming (which can slow queries down significantly when it isn't happening for any tables)

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added instructions for running `svn switch` after moving everything into /trunk/ (for us, use `svn switch --force https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien/trunk # runtime: <1 min`).
moved everything into /trunk/ to create the standard svn layout, for use with tools that require this (eg. git-svn). IMPORTANT: do NOT do an `svn up`. instead, re-use your working copy's existing files with `svn switch` (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.svn.c.switch.html).

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added links for sPlot and iPlant open-sourcing.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. open-sourcing BIEN: added links for VegBank's license (GPLv2), and how these terms apply to us (a diff of our changes is not GPL-ed under GPLv2, although it is claimed to be GPL-ed under GPLv3)
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added links for fixing the "App Store is temporarily unavailable" error (turn on Spotlight) and modifying a running shell script (unlink it first).
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. PostgreSQL: added links for troubleshooting out-of-memory errors, which show up (cryptically) as "The database system is in recovery mode" errors in processes running at the time the out-of-memory condition occurred.

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. BIEN: open-sourcing: added potential licenses we could use (public domain/CC0, BSD, GNU Verbatim Copying License, not CC-BY because incompatible w/ GPL).
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. BIEN: added links related to open-sourcing it, including the "Request to Open Source Software" form, the funding sources that need to be included in it, and part of the delegation of authority chain (from the UC Regents) that authorizes the open-sourcing.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. upgrading to PostgreSQL 9.3: added Linux pg_upgrade steps and install instructions. added Mac PostGIS, psycopg2 install steps. added note that after installing, you need to restore config values that the upgrade reset: in pgAdmin > Preferences > Query tool > Query editor, set Max characters per column back to -1 (to avoid cells being truncated). (this is not a bug in PostgreSQL, only in pgAdmin, and does not signal a need to downgrade.)
bugfix: lib/Firefox_bookmarks.reformat.csv: remove empty <DD> tags (which Firefox now adds for all bookmarks) so they don't create a blank space on the page
bugfix: lib/Firefox_bookmarks.reformat.csv: don't prepend "page's description:" to empty <DD> tags, which Firefox now adds for all bookmarks, even if they don't have a description
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added instructions for upgrading PostgreSQL to 9.3, and some GBIF links.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added links related to PostgreSQL plain-text pkeys and the GBIF data use agreement (which is apparently much less restrictive than the LoA we signed, and would even allow the data to be public). vegetation data: placed links into subfolders by datasource.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added links for EER models, data management plans. put PostgreSQL before MySQL because we have found PostgreSQL to be a much more capable database system, even though it lacks some of MySQL's user-friendly features.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. PostgreSQL: ALTER TABLE: added documentation about disabling of foreign key triggers, which is only possible by the superuser. note that marking a foreign key constraint as NOT VALID does not disable the trigger, so NOT VALID cannot be used for this purpose. this would be used to add fkeys from core VegBIEN tables to validation results tables such as the geoscrubbing results, without needing to import the validation results directly into core VegBIEN (which is time-consuming and currently must be done before input data is loaded, requiring a datasource reload to add geoscrubbing results).
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. sudo: added instructions to turn off incorrect password e-mails.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added Java client- and server-side links. web: split into client- and server-side folders.

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. PostgreSQL: added info on vacuuming and analyzing.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. Gmvault: added steps to do full backup and to backup only new e-mails
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. Gmvault: added run instructions for Mac.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added link to Gmvault (Gmail backup), which wouldn't install for me on Mac (but that may be because I'm using 10.8, and Gmvault is for 10.7/10.6)
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added link to Brian Enquist's fractals video on PBS NOVA.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. moved Linux, Mac into Unix folder. added instructions to remove old Linux kernels, which fill up the /boot partition. added instructions to force sed to use raw binary mode instead of UTF-8 when UTF-8 is set in the environment. added methods of implementing DB disk space quotas in Postgres. added comparison on my Mac's CPU (2.66 GHz Intel Core i5) with vegbiendev's (2.44 GHz AMD Phenom X4). my Mac's seems to be much faster, so it might make sense to check that the Thor CPUs are faster than the Vis Lab computers' CPUs the next time it gets upgraded. (these diffs can be seen in WinMerge with Moved block detection on. see /README.TXT > WinMerge setup for details.)
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. removed dead favicons. PostgreSQL: added bookmarks about triggers.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. grouped version control systems into new version control folder.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. sorted NCEAS bookmarks to put homepage and support pages first.
lib/Firefox_bookmarks.reformat.csv: unescape HTML in page's description, such as links to more info. this is necessary to properly render the persistent shells link in the screen > scrollback folder description.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. `screen`: scrollback: added link to our wiki page on persistent shells, which are a better way to support reconnecting.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added bookmarks about the `screen` command, especially how to access the scrollback. resorted several folders alphabetically.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. some broken favicons have also been fixed, by reopening bookmark in Firefox. (this will only update a favicon if there is a newer version. to delete a favicon completely, use Firefox's SQLite Manager plugin.)
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. Mountain Lion upgrade: added Python psycopg2, Python OrderedDict, X11.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. sorted MySQL and PostgreSQL sections.
web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks
web/links/index.htm: Mac 10.8 Mountain Lion > PostgreSQL: appended tab to name to disambiguate it from the general PostgreSQL section
bugfix: web/links/index.htm.run: prepend __ to the HTML anchors of bookmarks toolbar links so they don't shadow/override folders of the same name: also renamed the corresponding self-anchor hyperlinks
