I finally got a working Eee kernel built today with everything I was hoping to get into it.

Here are a few pictures of the new machine (as well as the mess I made while swapping parts around my other two machines).

So Windows XP doesn’t come with out of the box support for AHCI on the install CD.

After 5 years on my old desktop, I finally decided it was time for an upgrade.

For those of you that aren’t continuing to follow the 45 page thread on the Arch forums about the Eee PC, I’ve pushed out a new kernel build tonight.

So if you read my last blog post, you may have noticed I was preparing some code for public consumption that I had been working on.

Git gives you the power to do just about everything.

I finally got my blog working on the latest version of Django again (post newforms merge).

I just wanted to say thanks to the kind person who bought me The Art of UNIX Programming off of my Amazon Wishlist.

So some of you have pointed out to me that downloading a tar.gz file from my site through a browser like Firefox never seems to work well- I think I have finally fixed the problem.

For those of you using Arch Linux out there who don’t regularly read the forums(Arch on Eee PC thread) or the wiki (Installing Arch on the Eee), you may not know that I have an Eee-specific repository of packages available.

About a week ago, I got my newest electronic toy, the Eee Pc.

Hadn’t posted on the old blog in a while, so I thought I’d give a quick update on my “little” baby project, pacman.

I previously wrote a column on using valgrind, and I briefly touched on the massif tool.

I released pacman 3.1.0 tonight after quite a bit of testing by some fellow Archers using my [pacman-git] repository.

I just made use of a handy tool today to do code coverage testing with C programs, and I thought I’d do a quick rundown of how to use gcov, a code coverage tool for gcc.

I have found it a mystery why everything in the [Django documentation]https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware/) always mentions how important it is to order middleware correctly, and yet no canonical order is given for the supplied mi…

When trying to find memory leaks and hotspots in C code, no tool is better than valgrind.

I’ve become quite comfortable with GIT after the initial uphill battle with its seemingly overwhelming list of commands.

When trying to get Django up and running to host this site and blog, I ran into quite a few potholes.

This is the first official post on my new shiny blog.
