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
Nothing on TV, so another release. Basically a small change, I implemented the save/load of alarms. So, when oculusd is restarted, the alarms are persistent. The ID numbers of the alarms may change, so plugins should not really rely on them. Get oculusd 0.14 here.
Yay! It is here. After a month or two of quietness, another release of oculus, the easy server monitor. I implemented the alarm features in a alarm plugin. The following commands are added: ALLS (ALarm LiSt), ALST (ALarm SeT) and ALRM (ALarm ReMove). The alarm framework is not done yet, Lees verder
Work has started on oculusd 0.13. I set up the alarm framework and starting thinking on how to implement events on monitors. Alarms will be implemented in a plugin, so you can choose to use them or not. Because alarms need to stay ‘alive’ between reboots and application restarts (of Lees verder
I am working on a project that uses the RS-485 bus to poll some info from slaves. Because I have quite some experience with RS-232 I’d reckon this a no-brainer. However, my system didn’t work. On the RS-232 bus, with a 232/485 converter, no problems. But, with the slaves connected Lees verder
Don’t get me wrong. I like automatic updates. They keep my systems running, updated and relatively bug-free. I think automatic updates are a Good Thing. But there are also (as always) Bad Implementations. Nokia’s phone updater is one. This is a short transcript of what happened, a play in 5 Lees verder
Yes, it has a few nice features. Grouping all your accounts together in one meta-account is a good idea. The synchronising the IMAP folders by default is not. Isn’t the whole point of IMAP that you don’t have your mail on your computer. If I’m offline, I have no mail. Lees verder
A new month, a new version. Not much interesting, but some internal changes. But, as Linux Torvalds said: “release early and release often”. I removed the fork() call and implemented threads to handle each connection. This yields immediately to the “CONN” command (which will show you who is connected to Lees verder
This morning I had the idea to create an online marketplace using LinkedIn. A lot of people use that network and are just ‘on’ it. No actions, no reactions. So, I was thinking, what if people could tell eachother two things: what they want (demand) and they have (supply). All Lees verder
