Ubuntu users, if you need to get wifi up and running for a bcm4318 wireless-G chip and NdisWrapping the supplied Windows driver does not do the trick, then get your tips here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff When the network is up and running, use it to send a message to Broadcom to demand some hardware specs for the b43 driver [...]
De laatste tijd een paar knappe staaltjes TV gezien op Canvas. De reeks ‘Weerwolven’ aflevering met Jean-Marie Berckmans. Een man die balanceert tussen genie en marginaal, die nauwelijks articuleert en toch zo meeslepend kan vertellen. Volgens mij heeft Vitalski goed naar de hypnotiserende vertelstijl van zijn kompaan geluisterd. ‘The story of the weeping camel’: Ijzersterk [...]
De sympathieke Stijn en zijn vriendin Caroline vertrokken zondagmiddag richting Mongolië. Hun transportmiddel is Hugo, een Yugo Zastava Florida 1.3 van € 1000. Hun reisblog belooft interessant leesvoer te worden: yugo-where-we-go.blogspot.com/ Veel plezier alletwee!
The book ‘Framework Design Guidelines’ is high on many .NET programmer’s recommended reading lists, so I decided to finally try it out. To me, it scored bad points for its awfully long subtitle (Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries — Microsoft .NET Development Series). We’ll refer to it as FDGCIPRNL as a form [...]
A worthy cause: Facabook group “Petitie tegen een EK voetbal met Karl Huybrechts”. Blijkbaar wordt het EK dan toch uitgezonden in Vlaanderen (in tegenstelling tot eerdere twijfels). Ik moet toegeven dat ik nog niet veel voetbal op VT4 heb gekeken, maar die paar minuten bleken al voldoende om conclusies te trekken. De heren van de VRT [...]
Yesterday the first speaker interviews for FOSDEM 2008 were released. Take a look at them here: fosdem.org/2008/first-speaker-interviews.
I know, the title sound like spam For fun and profit, I decided to check whether you can truly send SMS messages for free using Twitter (Wikipedia). Yes, it does work, except that you can only send to other Twitters — the free part is more about receiving SMSes rather than sending them. So [...]
As a companion the the iWoz book, I also read Revoltution in The Valley – The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac Was Made. It was not a page-turner like “iWoz”, but just as interesting to read. Just like with the book by Woz, I already knew some of its contents — this time by accidentally [...]
I recently read this book by Steve Wozniak: iWoz. It’s an exceptionally interesting biography, if you care for technology and some personal computing history. I listened to Wozniak via IT Conversations before (it’s the highest rated talk over there), so I already knew some of the anecdotes and developments, but the humor and engaging style of the [...]
Since I’ve read the book “The Humane Interface” by user interface pioneer Jef Raskin, I’ve tried to follow his accomplishments. I was sad to learn that early versions of ‘THE’ (The Humane Environment) were quite disappointing — not so much in innovation but rather in quality and maturity. It was even more sad to read in in [...]
