Cyanogen 7 & Samsung Galaxy S2

As you know, I have been a big fan of the original Samsung Galaxy S and Cyanogen Mod. In the good news department, work has begun and we can expect something hopefully in the upcoming weeks. If you want to participate to the bounty, click here. One of the devs I follow a lot on […]

GRUB2 eats your OSes

After a chat in the pub with a friend of mine, I thought it were time to bring back to life my netbsd which didn’t boot anymore post installation of Grub2 on my Debian laptop. I have found a nice page describing Grub 2. All I had to do was then to edit this file […]

Upgrading MoinMoin from 1.5.x to 1.9.x

This is my quick attempt to document this before I forget. I used to like MoinMoin as time goes by, I have gotten to hate it a bit more every day. This post however is not a rant against it but a quick and dirty guide to fixing it when upgrading. This was all done […]

HDMI sound under Linux

I have eventually bought a video card which can output sound. Took me a while to get the settings right but I feel the night to document this. I have found a nice document from Nvidia which should help you getting the basics. The program which really helped me out here is the following command: […]

nginx hates me

Tried to debug this tonight, i got plenty of messages about not being able to bind to :: (yes, i do use IPv6). Turns out it is a simple fix, but still feel the need to document. net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 Thanks Sean 🙂

24h with the SGS II

I have caved in and bought the Samsung Galaxy SII. This is a short entry about the differences and neatness I found compared to my previously beloved phone: the SGS. It packs an impressive amount of stuff. In short, twice the memory from the last device (that is both RAM and internal), 8MP camera (vs […]

Migration from wordpress to blogger

I have recently grown a bit tired of wordpress vulnerabilities. I know I could just help out on the project and get packages in the Debian security depo faster, but I went for a more radical approach. Being tired of managing my own site, I have decided to migrate this specific virtual host to blogger. […]

Samsung Galaxy S and software updates

I believe I should set the record straight. Samsung in the last few months has simply been amazingly fast at providing updates for Gingerbread (2.3.x). Not only did they start rolling out official releases to handsets from the 15th of April, they even provided the sources shortly after that. That’s right, the sources can be […]

CyanogenMod 7 part3: Return of the Jedi

Well, 3 days, that is all it took for me to miss Cyanogen so much that I got back to it. In fairness, latest leaked Samsung 2.3.3 (JVK) is by far the best ROM I have tested from them but Cyanogen is so much nicer (and kept all the nice Gingerbread enhancements). There were still […]

IPv6 readyness

INEX in Ireland has launched a nice initiative where you can register your site as IPv6 Ready, mine passed 🙂 Thanks to Sean, he sent me a nice link to make your Google site IPv6 ready (if you are using your own DNS).
