Wow, this friday (June 12th) my daughter turned six!

For a while now I’ve been maintaining a port of the Minix editline library libedit.

This is mainly some notes for myself so I don’t forget.

I just published the unobfuscated version of the 1989 IOCCC Best Game entry, Tetris™.

OK, I admit it.

This is an extremly brief and quick Xen tutorial.

It has been a long time coming, but now I’m seriously starting to look at Git.

I have now updated the libev examples.

A very good friend mine recently told me about a neat event library, libev.

I thought I was alone, but it turns out I’m not.

This makes it possible to debug why a disk needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more.

This is a first effort at collecting information about network programming structs and APIs available in UNIX.

It’s here!

Ever so often, as I have mentioned before, I lose myself in trying to find new ways of working and doing my daily tasks.

Oups, it seems I forgot to announce the v0.2.2 release of the Minix editline library!

I tried upgrading from Hardy Heron to Intrepid Ibex this weekend.

There is a certain magic surrounding cross compilers and the people that know how to build one.

I hereby announce that all of the code I produce from now on will use the ISC license.

George Dyson, son of legendary Freeman Dyson, talks about the first computer, the first software bugs (both physical and logical) and the initial struggles of hackers.

Why would you want to do this?

Wow, I’m almost starting to feel like a Windows user.

I’ve got a ThinkPad T61 with Intel iwl3945 wireless chipset that I installed fresh with Ubuntu 8.04.

So weird.

In Ubuntu 8.04 I recently discovered that you need to install the libflashsupport package if you get no sound in Firefox while running flash application/video.

I just have to blog about this exceptional tool I just found.

The v0.2.0 release included some Debian patches, tcgetattr() and a batch mode (when reading from file) line reader.

Another day another release, I guess. :-) Lots of small fixes — it can now be cross-built for Arm (Xscale) without any serious warnings.

Hot on the heels of the first one, only minor build fixes but this one should actually be usable by others.

I’ve been looking long and hard for a small and useful GNU readline replacement.

Many years ago I discovered the beauty in a beast called Emacs.

I’ve had my ThinkPad T43 for a while now and I’m really pleased with it, everything just works!

The end of my own “summer of code” is here.

I think I’ve finally done it — achieved my ultimate goal of combining the awesome powers of the Debian /etc/network/interfaces file with guessnet, wpa_supplicant, ifplugd and now also with netapplet!

During the past weekend and the last couple of evenings I’ve been studying the Python code in bzrweb — which I’ve been using for online repository browsing.

I’ve been living with the new Gnome Main Menu for a while now.

My recent post on building Debian kernels misses a subtle but useful point.

I have been over this topic so many times now, strangely enough I’ve managed to make things more complicated than they need to be.

Yep, we finally did it, we bought ourselves a house.

Current trend is to run the following one-liner from IBM.

This is just great!

First try to consolidate on using an already working implementation of a blog script rather than writing my own.

Yes, bilen gick igenom besiktningen!

This is is really great!

Igår bytte jag bromsskivor på vår gamla Passat Variant -00.

Dammit, tonight I spent too many hours chasing down a “feature” in the Debian kernel build process or the Linux-2.6 kernel.

About that /etc/network/interface autoconfig thingy: it’s almost done.

From time to time, even though it seems to occur more frequently these days, I think about the persistence of things.

I have three network cards in my laptop.

Seriously, it’s been one long winter and now finally summer is upon us again.
