Recently I needed to upload some patches to Review Board. I foolishly tried to upload a patch that was created by git diff (I’m a git-svn user) but Review Board expects an SVN patch… While there are some simple solutions to be found on the web, I could not find any that correctly handled new […]

My Volvo V50’s mp3 player is able to sort the folders it finds on the flash drive I plug into it, but is unable to sort the mp3 files in the folders in any useful way. It seems like it just plays them as it finds them on the file-system. This week I found a […]

This is just a quick note to announce that I will be reviewing “Grok 1.0 Web Development” from Packt Publishing. They kindly provided me with an elektronic copy of the book. I’m looking forward to getting to know a new Python web framework (Grok) and the framework it’s based on (Zope 3). To be continued…

I just ran into this error message:
$ find . -name “*/version*/*”
find: warning: UNIX filenames usually don’t contain slashes (though pathnames do). That means that ‘-name */version*/*’ will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system. You might find the ‘-wholename’ test more useful, or perhaps ‘-samefile’. Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, […]

Toen ik daarnet een link naar een pagina op deredactie.be volgde kreeg ik na lang wachten het volgende bericht van firefox: “Firefox can’t find the server at www.deredactie.be.”. Na wat geëxperimenteer op servers binnen en buiten het UGent-netwerk (realnitro.be, eduserv/genix, een vtk-server) blijkt dat deredactie.be overal toegankelijk is, behalve vanuit het UGent-netwerk…
Weet iemand hier meer […]

Over the last six months my white Macbook slowly evolved into a grey Macbook. Today I descided to clean it back to its original color. I found this tip about what cleaner to use, and it worked out nicely. There are only two grey areas left: those where the palm of my hand rest […]

Some quick facts about the last few weeks. I might elaborate on some of them later:
Picked a thesis subject. Can’t get the exact subject from the web framework (Plato) atm because it’s down, but it’s about implementing a .NET/CIL backend for Diablo.
I bought a laptop (finally!). Specs: MacBook, white, 2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD. Turned […]
