Oculusd 0.17 is here. Fixed a few bugs; the se server could crash on certain configuration errors. Also, repaired a design mistake: hardcoded arguments (which have to be configured, otherwise the event-action connection is not made) are now bound to “actions” instead of “events”. Where they belong. Now I can Lees verder…
Another one I had to figure out by reading the source code: how to make your CakePHP Shell return something else than 0 in $?. It is very easy, if you let your main() return false, your Shell will return 1 in the console. Unfortunately it is not possible to Lees verder…

Another quick release. I created an RPM file and changed to installation directories to /usr, instead of /usr/local. The available RPM is x86_64 only, but you are invited to create others. From now on, I will release source and RPM packages. More on the project page.

Ik heb hem gekocht. De Sony Reader Touch. 6″ e-ink scherm, ruimte voor tig boeken en ondersteunt .EPUB en .PDF. Dat eerste is nodig om de digitale boeken van bol.com te kunnen lezen, het eerste hebben alle e-readers. De Reader kopen was een fluitje van een cent. De uitdaging zat Lees verder…
Looks like churning out releases is a thing you do between two beers. It kind of is. I implemented the action and event APIs. It is now possible for plugins to register an action (a predefined function) to an event. The library will then take care of handling it, based Lees verder…
