Woclema, now with anti-spam measures

26 Sep 2007 11:09:34 software

Woclema now includes simple measures to stop trivial spambots from posting. Real persons shouldn’t have too much difficult to post, as people who reach this far as expected to know to add two small integers. In addition to anti-spam feature, Woclema’s documentation should now fully cover its installation and configuration. See the source package for full list of changes.

Really cheap RC helicopter

When I first saw one of these remote controlled miniature helicopters on the Internet, I knew I had to get one. I started looking everywhere, but places such as play.com and amazon.co.uk, where the toys were affordable, wouldn’t ship electronics to Finland.

Later I somehow managed to convince myself that amazon.de didn’t ask too much – around 25 euro plus postage and other handling fees. That’s like less than two hours at work… :-)

There is also a new picture of clouds. What is wrong with me?

DCCP CCID 4 for Linux

21 Sep 2007 14:14:21 network, software

There it is. My first “real” contribution to Linux kernel. I know it’s not in mainstream, and hardly will be in time being, but it’s there nevertheless. I submitted a very early version of Datagram Congestion Control Protocol, Congestion Control ID 4 to dccp-exp list yesterday, and a new subtree was created.

Functionally this was a small step towards full implementation of CCID 4, but hopefully the subtree allows people to start cooperating.

Browser wars

16 Jul 2007 21:02:50 software

Not all web browsers are created equal. Apart from different user interfaces, they may or may not share a common rendering engine. The engine matters. The engines differ in performance (as in rendering speed, or CPU resources), stadnard compliancy, features (e.g. CSS, JavaScript), and memory usage. This is short, subjective comparison of a few.
