I’ve finally released a “backport” of Conquest, an epic space empire game. This version compiles cleanly on GNU/Linux and fixes some annoyances and bugs of the “original” Amiga port.
Get the sources or read more about this premium quality project-killer.
And yes, it still has bugs.
(Permalink)Using obscure Apache 2 modules can mean asking for trouble. Why would’ve known?
Read full entry (permalink)icasefile is a LD_PRELOADable wrapper for several libc functions such as open(), stat() and chown(). It allows user to access files regardless of filename case – just like underlying filesystem was case-insensitive. If you can’t think of a reason why this would be useful, you don’t need this toy.

(Permalink)bt-gps is a wrapper script for making Nokia N810 running Maemo 4 (Diablo) to
act as Bluetooth GPS dongle. I’ve used an old (and more complicated) version of
the script with my dumbphone for over a year now. After reading this
thread at talk.maemo.org for nth time I decided to improve,
package and release the script to public. Have fun.
See the project page for more details or install for Diablo.
(Permalink)I’ve been planning to upgrade my home computer for the past year, and this Monday I finally did just that. My old computer’s motherboard and memory were from 2005 and the CPU was from 2007. The biggest issue I had with my old computer wasn’t the CPU speed, but rather the amount of memory I had. Now, I could have just bought more memory, but nowadays DDR1 modules are rather expensive. Expensive RAM was a good motivation to upgrade my system as whole.
Read full entry (permalink)My old new server from two years back let the magic smoke escape just
earlier today. :-( chikan.katei.fi was churning in hundreds of thousands of
lines into PostgreSQL database when disaster struck. When the process stopped,
at first I thought it was yet another hickup with chikan’s integrated network
card, but when my automagic script didn’t kick in and save the day, I got
nervous.
This release of wanha fixes an HTML-injection issue that affected some browsers. Also, wanha IRC robot can now be told to check URLs and announce them on the chanel if they’re not wanha. Finally, some output strings were fixed.

These pictures have been waiting for a review and tagging for ages. I almost finished the task last summer but somehow that final push was missing. Without further introduction here are the pictures – only 15 months late.
