###############

hi guys,

I decided to register an account on github to share some of my coding projects with the world. By now I only uploaded huntersim so far but some others will follow soon. If you want to help me by commenting or patching it, feel free to do so. Get an account at github.com and tell me you account name by mail. I could then add you to the collaborators and you can submit your changes directly. If you just want to take a look or run the program you can of course just clone the repository without registration.

The public clone URL is: git://github.com/ap0calypse/huntersim.git

You can clone the repository with the following command:

git clone git://github.com/ap0calypse/huntersim.git

So, if you want to contribute to the project (or fork it, whatever) tell me your username and I add you to the collaborators. You should have some git knowledge. But don’t be scared. You can’t destroy anything :P

one step forward

hi guys,

in near future you’ll see more articles because I decided to quit my current job and start to study biology ;) .

I’m going to do my job until 23th of September.

Hooray! They found a way!

As I wrote earlier, the “Wiener Linien” didn’t want to place the sujets from the atheist bus campaign on their busses, but the campaign found another way:

I’m glad they found a way!

How to make MySQL listen to the world on Slackware 12.2

Filed under general, linux

Hi guys (and girls? … don’t know),

I recently found out how to make your MySQL-Service listen to the entire world instead of working explicitly with the socket-connection.

At first I took a look into the configuration-file, which is /etc/my.cnf in my case and found out, that it should already work. But it didn’t. After some searching I found out that the start script /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld contained the following line:

SKIP="--skip-networking"

After commenting out that line and restarting the daemon everything worked as expected and the daemon listens at port 3306. I hope that the next guy trying to configure MySQL doesn’t have to search for a solution anymore now.

hi guys,

some days ago I decided to write a little simulation in Perl. Well, … here is the result (huntersim-0.1). The package contains a README where everything should be explained.

Have FUN!

UPDATE:

Because people want to see pics:


Atheist bus campaign stopped in Vienna

Filed under biology, general

Hi guys,

As you maybe already know, there are several campaigns around the world who want to spread the message of atheism to the world. One of these campaigns is the so called “bus-campaign”. They want to put a poster on a bus with the message:

“Es gibt mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit keinen Gott. Werte sind menschlich. Es liegt an uns”

However, the “Wiener Linien” stopped this campaign.

It’s absolutely ridiculous! I hope that all those stupid religions will die out as soon as possible!

I wrote some time ago, that it is possible to decrypt skype-calls and that there is even a backdoor in it. Well … read this. Mrs. Fekter didn’t want to comment it because of “security issues”. What a farce!

Fekter schweigt zu Skype-Abhörmöglichkeit

I say it again and again … Don’t use Skype!
But what is more important: Don’t believe in politics …

good news: Slackware 13.0 with x86_64 support! :D

Yiiiiiha … I love good news.
As published on the official Slackware website Slackware 13.0 will come with an officially supported 64bit version. From the announcement:

[tap tap tap]… Is this thing on? ;-)

Ready or not, Slackware has now gone 64-bit with an official x86_64 port being maintained in-sync with the regular x86 -current branch. DVDs will be available for purchase from the Slackware store when Slackware 13.0 is released. Many thanks go out to the Slackware team for their help with this branch and a special thank you to Eric Hameleers who did the real heavy lifting re-compiling everything for this architecture, testing, re-testing, and staying in-sync with -current.

We’ve been developing and testing Slackware64 for quite a while. Most of the team is already using Slackware64 on their personal machines, and things are working well enough that it is time to let the community check our work.

We’d like to thank the unofficial 64 bit projects for taking up the slack for us for so long so that we could take our time getting everything just right. Without those alternatives, we would have been pressured to get things out before they were really ready.

As always — have fun!

Pat and the Slackware crew

I’m looking forward to install it on my machine! :D
