I ran into an issue when running the ./Configure step that said:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

With a bit of Googling, I found that this was most likely due to a missing DLL. I was told to run:
cygcheck `gcc -print-prog-name=cc1`Which showed that I was missing cygmpfr-4.dllI was told that the solution to this was to (rerun the Cygwin installer and) install the libmpfr4 package. I reran the aforementioned cygcheck command, and it showed that no dlls were missing, and I ran ./configure again, and it worked!

Thank you for providing the Kindle version. I downloaded it to my computer's hard drive, connected the Kindle and then simply copied it over from the computer to th Kindle. The book opened perfectly in the Kindle and is formatted just fine. I appreciate your efforts to clean up the book for Kindle users.

Thank you for this version. This is a good example of why it is great to have the freedom to offer your own version/format of someone else's work.

Well, the first obvious comment would be that the .mobi version is a .zip file - which can't be dowloaded by the built-in Kindle browser... ;o)

Comment on Shure SE315 Headphones Review by Boneman

I just upgraded from E3c's to the SE 315's today. Its quite a noticeable jump in quality, there is much more clarity and detail, plus it seems like the soundstage is wider and has more layers of depth.

My e3c's have lasted almost 5-6 years now??? , but the cable on the right ear has worn down to nothing and my repeated bandaid (literally!) attempts to fix it have finally become of no use.

I know these are only mid-range but I was impressed by how much better they are than the e3c model. All it took was for me to see how the cable is replaceable and I made up my mind sight unseen (sound unheard) .

I am a musician who records at home, and havent yet tested them for monitoring purposes, but I can already hear much more seperation in the instruments without it sounding too unglued, so Im hopeful these will be useful for getting right inside a mix and checking for errors or finding bum frequencies to iron out.

My preference is for definition and solid bass, not too boomy, but with a little punch, and clean mids, and these are pretty much there, for my ears anyways (may have killed them a little in my younger days).

So coming from an E3c user, I say highly recommended.

Thanks for the review of the SE315.

Actually, I landed here on your blog because I just noticed that my E3c headphones were breaking. No sound in the left channel. Guess what: it's a cable issue. This is actually the second pair I own in Shure's in-ear series, the first one had cabling issues too.

So yeah, good to hear that Shure is trying to do something about the cabling issue... but it's a shame that it had to take so long. I'm still in doubt wether to go for a SE315 pair, I've already spent so much on these... :-/

After further review, it was my XML string.
I was missing a column of data, which was throwing the whole thing off.

Thanks for your help.

1. Did my sample project resize the 2nd and 3rd columns for you as expected?
2. Did you add resizeToTitleWidth:true to the columns in column model that you want to have resized?
3. Did you add the span to your HTML?
4. Did you add the code I wrote to resize the columns if resizeToTitleWidth is true? This changes the column model BEFORE the grid is made to set the width on the appropriate columns. It uses the ruler to assist with doing so.
5. Did you step through my code, using Firebug, to see that it was finding the columns to resize and appropriately resizing?

The problem with Javascript is that if you have a typo, missing comma, etc. it just silently stops processing the Javascript. Firebug helps with this.

If you have Firebug installed, you can add logging lines to your Javascript

console.log("some message");

and see the logging messages in Firebug's console to see that various parts of your code are running.
