A working copy of CCP

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

CCP (as I wrote about earlier) now has a project on savannah. It now works! It can be downloaded from the CVS repository.
However, it doesn’t use libconf yet, and thus only supports key = value files. It also doesn’t know how to create the templates by itself so those have to be written by hand [...]

A merry christmas..?

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

No, not for everyone. Some have a horrible christmas, be it problems within the family, war, illnesses or really anything.
Some people spend their christmas eve suffering.
Some are at the hospital, caring for, waiting, being afraid of one of their loved ones. My thoughts go to you.
Some are with their family, watching as they get drunk [...]

The happy life of no-panel

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

Okay, I decided to drop the panel completely.
It was hrm, a bit strange at first - but I’m used to it by now and I’m not missing it. Ah well :)

I’ve written a document with a few ssh tips and tricks. Feel free to provide feedback in comments if you have any :)

I once dreamt of a useful panel

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

…or so I must have been.
Currently I’m using the XFce panel. It does what it does well, or at least what I currently use it for. It’s a clock, pager, wlan monitor and battery monitor. All which is fine, the thing is - the panel always displays a little bit, it’s never truly gone. I [...]

Todays word of wisdom

Friday, December 16th, 2005

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go, ’cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
- R.E.M, Everybody Hurts
(Oh, and record companies - yes I quoted a song by R.E.M. “So sue me”? :P)

Where is the madness police?!

Friday, December 16th, 2005

Okay, I was just made aware of the Brazillian Mandriva store by Claudio. The DARNED THING USES ASP! AFAIK it isn’t Mandriva that runs it (duh), but STILL!
For a little more clarification:

[0 zerodogg@drizzt html]$ HEAD mandrivastore.com.br
…junk…
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
…junk…
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

Someone tell me I’m dreaming! *cries*

I see a gnome on the horizon!

Friday, December 16th, 2005

If you haven’t heard about Linus’ little outbreak on the gnome ML yet then I think you should get out from that rock and back to the real world (either that or you’re one of the few non-geeks that happen to pass by my blog :).
I like GNOME, but I don’t use it. I [...]

EFN

Friday, December 16th, 2005

EFN stands for “Elektronisk Forpost Norge”, or in English, “Electronic Frontier Norway”.
EFF’s cusin in Norway.
I’ve been voted (I think it was a vote) to become a member of the board of EFN as a representative for EFNU (EFN Youth). This will hopefully be fun, productive and interesting. One thing is certain, there’s a LOT to [...]

The joys of LaTeX

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

A friend of mine suggested that I should try LaTeX.
In the begginning I was like naaw, meeh…Uhh, naah. But then, Saturday night I figured I should look at it. And now, well, I’m saved!
I should have done this WAY sooner! If you’re a geek, take my advice, dump OOo or any other software you’re using [...]

GFSGL 0.92.0 “White Teddybear”

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Finally! It is released (well, a week ago, but still).
Version 0.92.0 of my little child, GFSGL.
Now it has a GTK2, GTK1 and KDE GUI using xmsg, a module system that allows easy extension of it, and a handfull of modules included by default (such as AutoAddGames which automatically detects and adds native GNU/Linux games to [...]
