I am currently making a shared library out of some existing C code, for eventual inclusion in Debian.

So, a few weeks ago I wanted to play play some music.

So I had this brainstorm that I could get sticky labels approximately the right size and paste current gpg key info to the back of business cards.

There have been several posts on Planet Debian planet lately about Netbooks.

So last night I did something I didn't think I would do, I bought an downloadable album in MP3 format.

Fourth in a series (git-sync-experiments, git-sync-experiments2, git-sync-experiments3) of completely unscientific experiments to try and figure out the best way to sync many git repos.

In order to have pretty highlighted oz code in HTML and TeX, I defined a simple language definition "oz.lang" keyword = "andthen|at|attr|case|catch|choice|class|cond", "declare|define|dis|div|do|else|elsecase|", "elseif|elseof|end|fail…

Scenario You are maintaining a debian package with topgit.

I wanted to report a success story with topgit which is a rather new patch queue managment extension for git.

Recently I suggested to some students that they could use the Gnu Linear Programming Toolkit from C++.

I have been meaning to fix this up for a long time, but so far real work keeps getting in the way.

In a recent blog post, Kai complained about various existing tools for marking up email in HTML.

RSS readers are better than obsessively checking 18 or so web sites myself, but they seem to share one very annoying feature.

In a previous post I complained that mr was too slow. madduck pointed me to the "-j" flag, which runs updates in parallel.

I have been thinking about ways to speed multiple remote git on the same hosts.

So I spent a couple hours editing Haskell.

To convert an svn repository containing only "/debian" to something compatible with git-buildpackage, you need to some work.
