I’ve been playing with git today, I can yet say I like it.. It took me allot of time to figure out how it worked, but some things do look promising. I found the most amazing webmail client today: http://www.roundcube.net/ It works very nice, normally I hate webmail clients, but this one makes me almost read more

GMPC, a nice little addition
October 27, 2006 – 10:02 pm
I wrote the following plugin for gmpc today, it shows some statistics about the mpd server, and the data in the database. I am happy with the results, but it still needs a few small things to make it work correctly on special cases (enabled/disabled connected/disconnect etc):
Libcurl bug crushed, I realy should RTFM
October 24, 2006 – 8:54 pm
I’ve fixed my strange crasher in gmpc, in a tutorial on libcurl there was a hint that without setting CURL_NOSIGNAL=TRUE it might miss-behave when running in threads. It’s fixed now. So I can finally continue on making gmpc release-ready, and cleanup the plugins. Inventory I’ve wrote a custom treemodel for inventory using gob2, it took read more
Weird Crash
October 20, 2006 – 4:53 pm
I’ve ran in the most weird problem with gmpc. Gmpc uses (and provides for plugins) gmpc_easy_download, a simple function that uses libcurl to download files. Now I have the following problem: The nameserver is down, but the ethernet device is configured. You fetch a cover art..   gmpc tries to download it, gets an error from read more
HDD Crash

One of my hdd crashed… luckely nothing serious lost, some old backups (now I don’t have to sort them out anymore) and around 5000 songs. But now to get myself a new one, computers are truly a blackhole sucking up all your money.

I’ve made another alpha/beta release. Changes: * handle destroying of notification tray * Correctly ignore “unlock” even when the program is started and a valid transmitter is already in range. * Fix makefile so it gives nice output about missing dependencies, also block make install (not yet supported). * Fix error in enable/disable transmitter as read more

Wireless PC Lock – Continued 6
October 4, 2006 – 8:36 pm
A slight warning I should probably make. Wireless PC Lock doesn’t increase security, it even opens another possibility to unlock your pc (a big one). So don’t think it increases security, I just wrote it out of curiosity nothing more. Having this said, I’ll make a small update later and hope to make a beta read more

I’ve made the following updates, and the program is now actually usefull: Tell the user when the dongle get’s removed/added (libnotify) Tell the user when a unknown transmitter is activated within range. enable/disable transmitters permission to lock the screen. Ignore transmitter that are just passing by. (It can detect the difference between a transmitter turned read more
