People nowadays, complaining they only get 5MBs of disk space! In my day we were lucky if we had one file, and that was /dev/null!

Testing the image interface

Look, purty pictures! (Used to be my bike, sold it spring 2003 because of a lack of time to ride it).

Frist p0$t

I got fed up with the set of home-grown scripts to manage my website so I’m trying Wordpress to replace it. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll try to use this website to post updates on my vacation to Peru (which starts Sunday). Fingers crossed that I don’t lose interest after 3 days. I’ll also import all posts to the old website in here so that they are accessible. It may not look like it but this post really is the first one. (I’ll also delete some of the old stuff that was really embarassing in retrospect. Hey it’s my website ok.) Oh one final thing - sorry ’bout the leetspeak, sometime I just can’t control myself :(

Firefox speedup

Just installed Firefox 0.9. It rocks of course, as always, but here’s how to make it even faster: go to about:config and change the following values:

  • config.trim_on_minimize=false (you’ll have to add this one yourself)
  • network.http.pipelining=true
  • network.http.pipelining.maxrequests=100
  • network.http.proxy.pipelining=true
  • nglayout.initialpaint.delay=0

Other cool option: browser.xul.error_pages.enable=true

Libsigc article

I’ve written an article on libsigc++. It’s published on CodeProject
but I’m also publishing it here. Read it here and download the
sample code that goes with it here.
