Installing Debian Lenny on an Asus EeePC 900, part one
On Friday I got an Asus EeePC 900 that I had ordered a few days earlier. Now after having looked at the Xandros system that is installed on them when they are sold, it’s time to install Debian on it and become happy. I’m following the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install and will install by booting from…
Moved to a real domain, pretty please, update your links, feeds and bookmarks
Like the title says, yesterday I bought beardy.se, and today I shifted over everything to it. https://www.beardy.se/ ..is the new URL to this site, please excuse me, and update your links, bookmarks and feeds. http://www.gallery.beardy.se/ is the URL directly to my photo gallery, without going through WordPress. The old address is now properly permanently redirected…

Yesterday, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström, were each sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay 30 million kronor in damages, by The Stockholm District Court.

Exchanging apache2-mpm-prefork for apache2-mpm-worker, and using php5-cgi on Debian to improve performance
Running a webserver on a Xen guest with a limited amount of memory, and serve dynamic content, makes one wanting to optimize it, or switch to another webserver, like lighttpd. I was close to doing that, but I like my current apache setup, so I tried something else instead, which seems to have worked nicely…
GNS3: Build and configure a CCNA PPP lab using GNS3, dynamips, and vpcs
Cisco’s Packet Tracer works for very basic labs, but it has so many irritating small things that are missing, that it causes more frustration than nice experiences if doing anything involving anything more than the absoulte basic configurations. It does have one strong point, and it is CPU and memory usage, compared to emulating router…
OSPF adventures
I was working with a PPP Cisco lab yesterday in the network lab at uni. Three routers in a serial link triangle, running OSPF. The lab instructions said to break PPP (for some reason, it was a “challenge” CCNA lab, so.. the breaking of the link and observing the behavior was already done in the…

Smokin’ Guns
A few days ago I was told of this game by a friend, who hosts a server for it. It sounded interesting so I checked it out. It wasn’t very long since it was released either, apparently on January 1. Smokin’ Guns is a western (movie) themed FPS, “an open sourced, total conversion of id…
December rant
Ten days until Christmas. I have found most of the gifts I intend to give, though some I’m waiting for to be delivered, since I’ve ordered them. I hope they get here in time, before I go home to my parents over christmas. A few minutes ago I updated WordPress to version 2.7. Many things…
Träslöjdssnubbel
Jag letade efter lite sidor om slöjdande, täljande närmare bestämt, och hittade bild.admin.kth.se. För att vara exakt, denna sidan, med tillhörande bilder. Men anledningen till att jag skriver om den nu, är att det finns en massa olika bildgallerier på maskinen, med mycket varierat innehåll, och trevliga beskrivningar. Kort och gott en riktig websida. Några…
