I’m writing this from Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on my “travel” laptop, a venerable ThinkPad X40. There were two things I needed to fix to make it work: The Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [PCI 8086:3582] needed Workaround A: Re-enable KMS found on Lucidi8xxFreezes to start X. My Huawei E620 USB Modem [USB 12d1:1446/12d1:1001]… Continue reading ThinkPad X40 with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
The Book Of JOSH is back online!
A little more than a year ago I wrote Recommended reading: “The Book Of JOSH: Scala In The Enterprise”. Since then, the original article was removed from the author’s blog and I didn’t know of any copies. The other day I was browsing already read articles in Google Reader, and found the article in Google… Continue reading The Book Of JOSH is back online!
Øresund Agile 2010 has been cancelled
It seems like too few people registered for Øresund Agile 2010: As painful as it is, we have deemed it necessary to cancel this years conference.
Øresund Agile 2010 takes place on May 17-20 in Malmö
Øresund Agile is short for… the meeting point for Agile Software Development in Scandinavia I expect great talks and workshops. For example, Johanna Rothman will be speaking! By the way, Lean Magazine #5 is available for download!
Now on IPv6
I configured a bunch of IPv6 addresses on my GleSYS VPS and got it working after setting the proper route. After that I added AAAA records for the .se domains I buy through Loopia, including this one. Some of my domains are on easyDNS and they do not appear to support AAAA records until the… Continue reading Now on IPv6
Remote control of XBMC, but not too much
Yesterday and today I have scripted a small web interface for remote control of XBMC using its HTTP API. (BTW, That API could really use a redesign!) It’s actually just a page showing a screen shot and the name of the file that is currently playing, together with some commands to remote control XBMC. Available… Continue reading Remote control of XBMC, but not too much
Mark as junk in Evolution, train SpamAssassin on server
Evolution has a feature for marking e-mail as junk. This will set an IMAP keyword “Junk” on those messages. On my mail server I run Dovecot as IMAP server and Spamassassin through Amavis to filter spam. How could I get Spamassassin to learn that all e-mails marked as junk in Evolution are spam? With a… Continue reading Mark as junk in Evolution, train SpamAssassin on server
Policy notification from Google
My Swedish site Folkmun allows anyone to add words and their definitions. It’s a simple Swedish version of Urban Dictionary. Some people add very explicit words and I had totally forgotten that such words may clash with Google AdSense policies. Today I received a friendly warning: While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are… Continue reading Policy notification from Google
New site: Blekinge.IT
As much as I try to get rid of domains I don’t use, I can’t avoid registering new domains. I recently registered two domains (singular and plural) for a project with codename Green November. Another domain I recently registered is Blekinge.IT. At some point in the future I want it to be a site about… Continue reading New site: Blekinge.IT
PulseAudio support in Wine makes Spotify work better!
For various reasons (see bottom of WinePulse – PulseAudio for Wine) the main branch of Wine does not support PulseAudio. This makes Spotify under Wine misbehave a bit, but fortunately there is a solution! A person called Neil Wilson has been kind enough to provide PPA packages of Wine with the WinePulse patch. I’m installning… Continue reading PulseAudio support in Wine makes Spotify work better!
