I’ve written about OpenSolaris earlier, and I’m impressed. It’s a promising OS, with a few quirks. I decided to use it as desktop OS for a day. First of, it’s Gnome. I prefer KDE, but hey, I take what’s available. It’s not that important really. The first thing I missed was OpenOffice, which should be [...]
Tagged OpenSolarisExtGPS er eit genialt lite program for dei av oss som har en Symbian-telefon med GPS-mottaker på. For kor nyttig hadde det vel ikkje vore å kunne bruke GPSen i telefonen til software for pc, via f.eks. bluetooth? Vel, du kan det, med ExtGPS. Og det er gratis. For min del er dette rimelig fint [...]
Tagged GPSSadly, I had a minor problem with the links from the comments to the targets of those links… WordPress somehow URL-encoded the ‘ rel=’external nofollow’-part into the URL, resulting in something like <a href=’http://example.com/’rel=’external nofollow’>link text</a> which – needless to say – did not really work that well. Turns out the culprit was in comment-template.php [...]
Tagged bugKvifor lar folk ein levrandør sittje med ansvaret for lynmeldingsløysinga dei bruker, som i tilfellet med Microsoft og MSN? Når MS sine servere har tekniske problemer er jo brått ting heilt borte… Det er Single Point of Failure, og ikkje spesielt lurt, spesielt med tanke på kor viktig lynmeldingstenester som MSN er for mange. Kvifor [...]
Tagged instant messaging, open standards, xmppAfter reading about OpenSolaris in ;Login:, I decided to give it a try, in VMware. Without reading much about it, I simply grabbed an ISO and downloaded. With most Linux distros that work. OpenSolaris is distributed as a Live CD, which has a installer application on the desktop. The NIC came up beautifully under OpenSolaris, [...]

Tagged openSuSE, softwarePlan9 is an OS and a set of userspace tools. They had some rather nice design ideas, like making everything a file, and let users interact with that. The main problem is that Plan9 don’t really run on any usefull hardware – it’s kinda limited in it HW support. To overcome that, Glendix is making [...]
Tagged Linux, plan9I have two hosts as MX for the domain bitsex.net – m.juicedhost.net and juicedhost.net. Good practice would be to configure both to act as MX for that domain, but I never got around to configuring the MX with the lowest priority, juicedhost.net, to relay mail for bitsex.net. Maybe as well. Even when the highest priority [...]

Tagged php, softwarersnapshot er et artig verktøy for å ta backup. Det er basert på rsync, men i tillegg kan det lage revisjoner. Det geniale er at det kun kopierer dei filene som er endra sidan forrige backup – resten av filene blir hardlenka frå tidlegare revisjoner, så plassbruken blir ikkje så stor. I tillegg blir recovery [...]
