Well, my old site is finally being faded out. Since of now visitors to the old site will be automatically redirected to this site. Since some of the stuff on the old website hasn’t been (and will not be) transferred to this site, some things might be missing. If you are looking for something on […]
Since thursday I’ve been working on creating a rather nice new building environment for my projects. The building environment will be used for automatic compilation of sourcecode and manuals and uploading to the proper webspaces. My old environment was nice, but is now falling a bit behind.

Shit, shit, shit! I was just trying to build some debian packages for Nimf and it started complaining about conflicting version numbers..

There’s a new project in town. I was working on building autocompletion in to Nimf and I decided to first try and make a seperate program to do the job for me. So I ventured into C land and built it. Quite easy actually. So then I cleaned up the seperate program and started documenting […]
After a long time without releases, Nimf version 0.1.1 is finally here. This new version includes some new features (support for changing rights and ownership) and various (speed improvements) hacks. Correction: That would be version 0.1.1, not 1.1
