I know I am very late to the Xen party. I try to stay on top of the life changing software, but there have just been so many new things out there over the past two years or so. I tried running a Xen kernel a while back under fedora core 6, but there were [...]

Google released the Android SDK today.
They have sample code and videos on the website. The points that I have gathered so far include… Android applications are meant to be coded in java. They used eclipse in the sample video. I can learn java; this should be fun. There is support for Opengl ES; this means if the hardware supports it [...]
Wifiroamd manages wifi connections under Linux.
Last night I rediscovered wifiroamd. I had been using OS X for so long that I had forgotten what it was like trying to configure wireless under linux; let alone have some form of functional roaming from work to home. I used to always make two scripts. 1. for connecting to my wireless network at [...]
I finally got out of Albany.
I know its been a while. I got an RHCE, got a new job, and moved to NYC. I want to build a GSM -> UMA tool. I can use wifiroamd.
Note to self: port upgrade installed is what you want.
Port upgrade all, installs all ie. tells darwinports to install everything in the tree. Port upgrade installed; naturally just upgrades the ports you have installed.

Here is my .xsession. #!/bin/bash #xfwm4& ratpoison -c focus& #xterm & mythwelcome I also added VideoModeLin = 3 to the ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg of the mythtv user in order [...]
Got fired. Moved on. Made a widget.
I got fired. It was painless; like a girlfriend that has gotten fat breaking up with you just before you started gnawing your arm off to get away. Thats life. I made a sample widget using dashcode that basically just pulls the rss feed from slashdot. Its big as hell, and here it is. Enjoy. [...]
Opening reading, writing and closing files in C.
I have learned a little more C. Now I know how to open/modify/close files using fopen, fclose, fprintf, and fgets. Als always sample code and universal binaries are available here. Todays programs are called openandreadfile.c, and openandwritefile.c. I am looking into using libosip, and libexosip2 to write a sip client that only a geek would [...]
How to make a simple universal binary; and other things learned about gcc
Although this is not my first time around the block regarding gcc, I have never gone much further than editing makefiles, and use flags under gentoo. Here is what I learned today; I am writing it down in the hopes that I will not have to learn these things again. 1. gcc, the Free Software [...]
Two things; openstreetmap.org, and learning C.
I discovered opensetreetmap.org a few days ago while reading a post in the openmoko mailing list. and to quote the project page “OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as [...]
