Easy stuff

Ok, I started recoding frozentux.net today finally. It's rather ugly and messy code, so i'm starting by cleaning it up a bit. It's kinda nice getting a goal again, I've lacked a bit of it. Also, I must say, this feels soooo easy. PHP code is a breeze, and way to forgiving, especially without 10+ guys looking over your shoulder once in a while to make sure your code is good enough *cough* .

That said, I'm not planning to use too much cross site stuff or any other heavy stuff, so it will be easy to get it to a working state again. Basically, I'm going for a simpler design, with larger flexibility as I want to add a lot of small code samples and projects to the website in the future (I kinda locked myself down there last time).

Also cleaned the fan over the stove, built more on the model (wow, you can almost see that it's an airplane body right now :P ). I got a lousy glue (so sorry mac and heather, it was an awkward glue you gave me :)), need a new one, and I also need some sandpaper. Taken a walk, looked at an episode of systm. A cool show about mythbuntu tbh.

Workweek ahead. See if i manage to get into a habit of writing here or not?;)

Slow grasswidow evening

What do you do when you are home alone a saturday evening? Personally, I web2.0'd my life (i got facebook, a blog, remember the milk, dipity, evernote, and decided to rewrite/update my webpage). Also, I really got started building the Fokker DR.1.

To update frozentux.net, I screwed around a bit with eclipse pdt. I want to do this since I think the whole site looks pretty awful. I was ok with it "back then", but not any more. I've been using eclipse for a few months to code c, c++, qt and I've grown rather fond of it. My first time with eclipse left me... well, let's just say i went back for a few years to vim and loved it. Still wish there was a decent vim/eclipse plugin as i love vims command/edit mode.

I digress. Basically, what I did was Install subversion, make a copy of frozentux.net in subersion and a few other projects in there. I setup subversion with apache2. I know I suck that haven't done this before. After that, I installed pdt, subclipse and a few other modules in eclipse and got it all working together. I think I might like the subclipse module, but still got a few things I need to find out.

I'm gonna get started on rewriting frozentux today I hope. Now, going for a walk first.

First entry (a.k.a. I've joined the dark side, I'm blogging)

Ok, I'm blogging? Now what? ;) . Nah, I'm hoping to use this site as a place to collect information about what I'm currently working on etc. Maybe an introduction?

Yes, I'm the idiot behind frozentux.net, yes i wrote the iptables and ipsysctl tutorial stuff a long time ago. It's unfortunately a long time ago, and rather rusty. I grew very tired of it during the last update of the iptables tutorial (even earlier actually, but lets keep it simple). I'm not sure at this point if i will try to get it rolling again, but it is possible, depending on how much work it will be to update it.

Other projects i've been boring myself with as of late:
  • Coding (trolltech qt/qtopia calculator, notepad, other stuff to learn the qt api etc). I love QT to be honest, wonderful so far, and you can do hilarious stuff with the stylesheets. Need this for work.
  • Working on some model aircrafts (a balsa built RC one in the countryside which i only have access to very seldom and a guillow's balsa scale Fokker DR.1 at the moment). I need relaxation from computers once in a while, this is _awesome_ stuff to relax with.
  • Still some general security stuff, been a while since, feels nice to be back on homefield once in a while.
  • Started web2.0'ing my life, Ie I now come with shiny buttons and instead of tcp sockets i come with a http api. Seriously just trying this blogging, twitter, dipity, ping.fm stuff, some stuff will stay, some i'll get bored with. EverNote will stay, _awesome_ stuff. Remember the milk will be investigated... it has potential;).
  • Some testing to do with my HTPC, using ubuntu and mythtv... this will get a lot of attention soon as I got seriously pissed at mythtv some time ago. To those gurus at it, apologies, but it sucks as far as ive seen so far, and it was a while since i did any work on it, but it needs to be revisited. Graphics was horribly buggy, some weirdness with unpacking/loading images etc which took close to 5-10 minutes on startup and so forth.
