  It’s almost too easy with a Raspberry Pi   Geekyness, LAMP, Linux, Open Source (0)

  I am part of Overskrift.dk – a local social media monitoring service built on a LAMP stack. We are the server itself, but also quite a few older laptops. They do have a couple of downsides though: Big (-ish) Clunky Noisy Power consuming Have mechanical harddisks They each need PHP, cUrl and a MySQL client library [...]

  Ubuntu 10.4 – up with only one quirk so far   Geekyness, Linux, Open Source (0)

  This morning I let my Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade itself to 10.4. The upgrade itself ran fine with only a few interruptions where I had to confirm or deny changes to configuration files for PHP etc. As I landed at the office and hooked up the laptop (Thinkpad T61P) however, my external monitor was flickering a [...]

  Offtopic: The future of the gas station   Geekyness, Human (1)

  This is not about the usual geekyness – it is about a change I am sure is about to happen. Once the benefits are clear – I am quite sure everybody will want an electric car instead of their gas/diesel-one. The concept of having an energy-buffer, in the shape of the cars in a region, [...]

  Javascript performance on current browsers   Geekyness, Linux, Performance, Software design, Web, Windows (1)

  Found this little test which gives an indicator as to Javascript performance in your browser.

  Netbooks – the necessary new design test-tool   Geekyness, Linux, Netbooks, Open Source, Software design, Tips, Web (0)

  Writing this on my Lenovo S10e netbook, I am furious. It’s before mid-day and yet I have had two experiences of software designs that did not consider netbooks a platform – or at least the new low screen resolution these computers imply. And before you call me a whiner (besides the fact that you’d be [...]

  Testing: WP Super Cache   Geekyness, LAMP, Performance, Web (0)

  Seems like a very cool plugin to enhance the userexperience – performance wise, plus it seems to prepare WordPress blogs for high traffic spikes. Bug found: Links to posts from archives seems to cache PHP-code – not the resulting HTML. There’s gotta be a simple fix. Was a bit quick there. The bug is in [...]

  Netbooks growing up   Geekyness, Linux, Netbooks, Open Source, Windows (0)

  This post is written on my new netbook – a Lenovo ideapad s10e. Actually I had given up on netbooks. My first one was an Asus EEE PC 900 with SSD and that machine was a serious disappointment. I have always liked Asus hardware, mainly because it is extremly well updated with software. That was [...]

  Ubuntu two-finger scrolling   Geekyness, Linux, Open Source, Tips (0)

  My brother is now a fairly long time Mac-user. I haven’t gone down that road (yet). Last night he was here and i showed him my Asus EEE (which is currently running Ubuntu 8.10). “Cool” – he said. “It supports two-finger-scrolling”. I didn’t know, but he is right. Googling for it found me this. Apparently [...]

  What goes on in my registry when…   Free, Geekyness, Performance, Windows (0)

  Ever asked yourself what actually happens when you perform a certain thing in a certain program? Which files are read, created, updated and what goes on in my registry. The Sysinternals Process Monitor tool does this. Filter the events any way you need and you will be able to release registry updates quickly. I just [...]
