Prop. 8: Gay-marriage ban unconstitutional, court rules

Posted by Rose Bush on February 7th, 2012

Anything less than 100% equality for all persons is unconstitutional and inhuman. As a society, we need to come together based on our similarities rather than find ways to separate ourselves based on differences.  I hope and KNOW that this ruling will lead us to the path that takes down DOMA.

  6. Click Finish.
    MivaMerchantEmpressa2k3Install513_05

 

Install GD

  1. Download the latest gd-latest-win32.zip from here. I personally had to obtain the zip using archive.org, in which you can download the same file as I have saved it here.
  2. Create a new folder within the Miva Merchant Empresa installation directory and name the Folder SYSTEM. You should then have one of the following paths
    Or:
  3. Open up the gd-latest-win32.zip file.
    MME2k3GD_01
  4. Inside of the bin folder you will find a file bgd.dll.
    MME2k3GD_02
  5. Copy this file to the SYSTEM folder we created earlier.
    MME2k3GD_03
  6. Grant IUSR read access to this dll.

 

Configure IIS for the Empresa Engine

  • First off, if this is a 64bit version of IIS6, it needs to be run in 32 bit mode in order for Miva Merchant Empresa settings to show. To load IIS in 32 bit mode, put a shortcut on the desktop, edit the shortcut adding ‘ /32’ to the end of the path, causing the path to end up being:

  • Also, you will want to configure IIS to run 32 bit applications. To do this, run the following command:

     

IIS Web Server Extension

  1. Open IIS and select Web Service Extensions.
    MME2k3IISWSE_01
  2. Click Add a New Web Service Extension and enter the requested information:
    • Extension Name: Miva
    • Required Files:C:\Program Files\Miva Merchant\Miva Merchant Empresa\MivaVMIIS.dll
      Or for x64 Required Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Miva Merchant\Miva Merchant Empresa\MivaVMIIS.dll
    • Check Set Extension Status to Allowed
    MME2k3IISWSE_02
  3. Click Ok.

 

IIS Mapping for .mvc

  1. Open IIS, right-click Websites and select Properties.
    MME2k3IISmap_01
  2. Click on the Home Directory tab and then click Configuration.
    MME2k3IISmap_02
  3. On the Mappings tab, click Add.
    MME2k3IISmap_03
  4. Enter the requested information:
    • Executable:C:\Program Files\Miva Merchant\Miva Merchant Empresa\MivaVMIIS.dll
      Or for x64 Executable:“C:\Program Files (x86)\Miva Merchant\Miva Merchant Empresa\MivaVMIIS.dll”

      • Remember to include the double quotes
    • Extension Type: .mvc
    • Leave the other options as the defaults
    MME2k3IISmap_04
  5. Click OK.
  6. I recommend checking a website to ensure the mapping has propagated throughout the website tree.

 

ISAPI Filters for x64 based OS’s

  • Since IIS will be running essentially in 32 bit mode, we need to make sure that other entities, such as .NET 2.0 are set to run the 32 bit versions as well.
  1. Open IIS, right-click Websites and select Properties.
    MME2k3IISmap_01
  2. Click on the ISAPI Filters tab.
    MME2k3IISisapi_01
  3. Select ASP.NET_2.0.50727.0 and click Edit….
    MME2k3IISisapi_02
  4. For anything .NET, you can update the Executable field replacing “Framework64” with just “Framework”, keeping the rest of the field intact. Click OK. Click OK.

    • Store data in the following directory:
      In my case, this is usually be the same as the Home Directory, but in C:\MivaData\subfolderName
  4. Click Browse for the Look for SSL root certificates in the following directory: setting.
  5. Make sure you are using the openssl-0.9 directory because we installed OpenSSL 0.9 and not version one.
    MME2k3IISvmsettings_11
  6. Click OK.

Commerce and System Libraries

  1. There are a total of 3 main Commerce libraries (LinkPoint, AuthorizeNet, and CyberCash). AuthorizeNet and CyberCash can be obtained elsewhere while LinkPoint was included in the Miva Merchant Empresa installer.

I love this song by Lily Allen.

Posted by Rose Bush on August 17th, 2011

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hyrQzhU08w

Artist: Lily Allen
Title: Fuck You
Songwriters: Allen, Lily Rose; Kurstin, Gregory;

Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
Then look a bit harder
‘Cause we’re so uninspired, so sick and tired
Of all the hatred you harbor

So you say it’s not okay to be gay
Well, I think you’re just evil
You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Do you get, do you get a little kick
Out of being small minded?
You want to be like your father
It’s approval you’re after
Well, that’s not how you find it

Do you, do you really enjoy
Living a life that’s so hateful?
‘Cause there’s a hole where your soul should be
You’re losing control a bit
And it’s really distasteful

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you

You say you think we need to go to war
Well, you’re already in one
‘Cause it’s people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
