Posted on 2009-07-12 by Oliver

I’ve just replaced my little shell script that was helping me to update the hash files inside my postfix configuration. While before I had hardcoded the paths/names, they are now simply fetched by means of find. In addition to the … Continue reading →

It was about time, wasn’t it?

Posted on 2009-07-11 by Oliver

I stated previously that I’m opening up my Subversion repositories. Now you can also do checkouts instead of just looking at them. You’ll find a little note below the directory listing inside each repository available in this way (for now … Continue reading →

Posted on 2009-07-05 by Oliver

Everyone loved Visual Studio 6 and many people continued using it despite the availability of VS 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008. Now, I saw Microsoft promise on some website that version 2010 will be the new version 6. Somehow I … Continue reading →

Posted on 2009-05-21 by Oliver

Quite a while ago I reported a bug in TortoiseCVS 1.10.x (the Unicode versions) which more or less affects everyone that is using an alternative file manager. I for one use SpeedCommander and can highly recommend it, although for non-German … Continue reading →

Technical break

Posted on 2009-04-09 by Oliver

Due to a recently dislocated shoulder, the blog will be kind of suspended in the next few weeks. Typing one-handedly works half-way for text, but is slow and error-prone. Programming is out of question. Update: I’ll undergo orthopedic surgery on … Continue reading →

Sendepause

Posted on 2009-04-07 by Oliver

(Getippt nur mit der linken Hand!) Da ich mir die rechte Schulter gestern ausgekugelt hatte, wird in den kommenden Wochen eingeschränkt bis garnicht gebloggt. Update: am 27ten April werde ich an der Schulter operiert, was die Sendepause wohl noch ein … Continue reading →

If we consider the scenario where you want to grant only remote access to an account (e.g. user) and know you will only do this via SSH and using key-based authentication, it makes sense to lock the user account for … Continue reading →

Bei meinem wochenendlichen Spaziergang kam ich heute wiedermal am Hafen vorbei, wo eine ziemliche Ansammlung von Menschen und Fahrzeugen zu sehen war. Über all dem thronte eine deutsche Flagge und die Segelmasten des Segelschulschiffs Gorch Fock. Da ich sie bisher … Continue reading →

Ich hab’ keinen Bock auf Kanzler

Posted on 2009-03-24 by Oliver

“Ich kann Kanzler!” soll eine kommende Sendung beim ZDF heißen. Während man mit der Idee, Politikverdrossenheit zu bekämpfen, durchaus noch zufrieden sein könnte, scheint das aus Kanada übernommene Konzept dann weniger mit Pluralismus und Demokratie zu tun zu haben als … Continue reading →

Note to self: selective target name in DDK builds

Posted on 2009-03-20 by Oliver

Just found out how to properly “detect” in the sources file which one (32 or 64bit) is being built and assign a different output name to the debug symbols and the target file. !if $(386) TARGETNAME=shellext32 !elseif $(AMD64) TARGETNAME=shellext64 !else … Continue reading →

Perl, simply great

Posted on 2009-03-16 by Oliver

In the scope of WinDirStat I am currently migrating our language system to a more generic text-based approach. The final file format has not yet been decided, but it’s likely going to be XML. Perl just enabled me to write … Continue reading →

Nach dem Amoklauf in Winnenden nimmt man die Jagd auf Killerspiele vorzeitig wieder auf und will offenbar auch wieder den Waffenbesitz in Deutschland diskutieren. Nicht, daß es besonders einfach wäre legal(!) an Waffen zu kommen – kein Vergleich zu den … Continue reading →
