Ny Flagstang?

Var det noget med en ny flagstang?

Finished my last exam

It’s been a while, and I thought this might be a good time to write in my blog.

My last 3 months has been used for school for finishing our final project, and preparing for our final exam.

So, today I finished my last exam, which went pretty well, got an 8 (thats average, if you don’t know the scale), so my plan is to spend the next few weeks catching up with some things that has been left behind, including Gentoo.

I got some work to do in the IRC herd, and I also have to get started with helping out in the Java herd (haven’t really gotten anything done here yet, but that should soon change).

I also plan on taking on net-misc/linux-igd, and get it updated to the newest version.

In between all this, I also need to fit-in my girlfriend, my family and friends, but I think I can manage ;-)

Thats about it for now

Call to testers

Yesterday I managed to get Anope IRC Services working, and an ebuild done for it.
So, it would be nice if people would test it, since I’ve been having some problems getting this beast working, so there might be some bugs that needs catching :)

So, please give it a try if you are running your own IRC server, if not, we have several IRC servers in portage that you can install and test with.

First commit to portage

Last month I got the time to finally get my ebuild and end-of-mentoring quizes done, so I have access to the portage tree, and become a dev with write access to portage too :-)

So, for some time I have been playing with getting psybnc ready for portage, with the ebuild from bugzilla as my workbase.

So, today I finally got the time for my first commit to portage, so, for everybody who wants a BNC, please give it a try, and let me know if stuff breaks (it shouldn’t ;-) )

Gentoo FreeBSD 6.0 finally installed :-)

I finally managed to get it running, it turned out that FreeBSD is more picky about my CFLAGS then linux is, so it kept breaking.

It’s nice to finally have it running again, now I can even start doing some work on it :-)

Gentoo/FreeBSD 6.0 testing

Since the 5.4 profile has been removed, I decided it was time to do the long-awaited (by me) reinstall of my devevelopment box.

It has been running my test server with apache, mysql, bugzilla, bugday devsite, phpmyadmin etc. without any nonfixable problems, so I’ll call it a success story, great work Gentoo/ALT team :-) (at least for not banning me ;-) )

So I’m in the process of installing 6.0, but it’s behaving weird (sh processes not shutting down, and hitting the process limit), but I have a feeling that it will work out.

Bugday test site taken offline for now

Hmm, it seems like I was a bit too much of in a hurry to announce it, so we have taken it offline for now, until further notice.

Hehe, I should have asked before announcing it to the public. My bad, wont happen again. I’ll keep you updated when the site goes public.

Again, sorry for being too rush about this

Moved to Wordpress from b2Evolution

I just moved my blog from b2Evolution to Wordpress, since I was having some problems with spam on my other blog, I chose to move to wordpress, where I can filter it.

Expect to see some more posting now

Bugday Site Update

We finally got the new bugday website done (well, it currently has the features that the old site has, we will be adding some new features as time goes by).

Now we are moving into testing, that means that we need all the help we can get, and thats why I now announce the site. If you find any bugs, please mail them to me, so I can fix them.

And here is the link: LINK REMOVED FOR NOW

Exam

While I’m sitting here and waiting to hear what the other in my class have got, (My exam is tommorow) I’ll try and see if I can write something interresting.

First a quote by Bill Hill, that I find interresting (I could listen to that guy for hours, he seems to know a lot): “we are all still Homo Sapiens V1.0, it shipped about 400.000 years ago, there is no upgrade in sight”

My laptop seems to be having problems running 19 Internet Explorer windows, Word, IDEA and VMWare at the same time, and still be somewhat close to being responsive, bahhhh.

Apart from that, I don’t have much to write right now, other than I’m looking forward to 3 weeks off :-)
