I am no graphic designer. The graphic designer I asked on the phone was… busy. Having done some pushing characters around, my versions differ only slightly. But they got successively better. That poster was made from a Pages template that came with the app. Something about the poster is crap. Can’t put my finger on …

Personal notes
Hi again. Today I had coffee after work with Ola E, who’s blogless, but wants to start “unblogging”. He said something to this effect: “I want to blog, but not with a blog, I want to write down what I’ve done, and what worked, what I misunderstood, and so on. Like a wiki, but not …
Alt email (now fixed)
Some disk in the US got filled up during Easter, so any email to me should be sent to firstname.lastname at gmail dot com Thanks. Update: Done, got it fixed. And started thinking: Couldn’t Gmail be my mail backend? Really? I’m putting it on the TODO list.
Thoughts about old age
Thoughts about old age from the work-floor: “My uncle is retired now, and does nothing but going to dinners, and hunting.” “I’ma be a amateur archaelogist in my riper years.” “Full beards.”
Kbh.dk – upcoming muni-YASN (not so YA, though)
More talk about other people’s work: (My amazing wife) Luisa’s doing launch work on Copenhagen municipality social network website/service KBH.dk. Sign up for their upcoming beta. It could get quite interesting. Their business model? Not “making money”. Providing a service to the community. The bottom section of the landing page translates to: “Kbh.dk opens in …

Hackmeetup notes
Just came home from this week’s Hackmeetup. Here is the short report. Fredrik struggled onwards with Lua and C++ game hacking. Ola mentioned the Lua/C++ bridge Luabind, which was originally envisioned as a Boost::Python-like project, but generic, to hook up all C-like languages to C++. (The focus was later narrowed to being a Lua-only binding.) …
Thanks, Webby, hackmeetup got new look
Hackmeetup now looks better, thanks to Webby, the ASCII alchemy package in Ruby.
phpsh needs ctags file
Thanks, Facebook developers: phpsh is nice. It needs a file that describes your project, to give you fast access to your function docs. The file is generated by exuberant ctags. (sudo port install ctags.) To avoid warnings when generating the tags file: let ctags recurse, and ignore the non-PHP languages in your source tree: $ …
Io: my errno adventure in C
This pastie holds my first C patch. It actually repaired a Readline problem that appeared on my Mac when I git pull‘d Io’s source today. See the Io issue at their bugtracker. The pgsql heroes fixed the problem way before, so I could stand on the shoulders of smart giants. I don’t know how to …
