Hey folks, I’m looking for a 1U rack mount server. Something old and cheap, preferably ;-) Somewhere along the lines of a 500Mhz machine, 256 MB memory, 40 to 80Gb HD. Nothing fancy; don’t need RAID or dual CPU/power sources. If you know anything, please contact me. Update: Just to clarify: This doesn’t have to […]
Last friday, I bought a Leatherman multitool and, since it was quite expensive, I have to tell everybody about it. No better way than to abuse my log for such a goal, is there? I got me the Leatherman Charge Ti which has, like, a gazillion tools in it. I’m not sure I’ve already found […]
You’ll probably not notice it, but I updated my homepage. Every page now has an index (except the Home page) and I rewrote some parts of the most import page on this site. The Links page is gone; it was outdated and I was lazy.
Hardly worth an entry on the projects page, but still: SafeMailTo, a script that hides your e-mail address on your website but still allows people to see it, click it and copy-paste it. It uses ROT13 ‘encryption’ so it should protect against spambots that can’t do ROT13 and Javascript. If it’s ever broken you can […]
A little while ago I reported on a little XML toolset called XMLStarlet. XMLStartlet provided a bunch of commandline tools for reading and converting XML files from the commandline. Usefull in scripts. However, it uses a pretty complex interfacing. For instance, you’ll have to know XPath to easily select a particular piece of XML to […]
[todsah@sharky]~$ uptime 19:36:19 up 367 days, 8:41, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00 Whoohoo! My first longer-than-one-year uptime! And too think I haven’t really maintained my server for about that long. It did survive an upgrade to Debian v3.1 without rebooting.
I’m finally finding the time to release some stuff that’s been sitting on my diskdrive for way too long. Here’s a little something I create a Long, Long time ago. I think it was for my graduation, but can’t really remember. Anyway: Cypres is a complete browser-based presentation tool. It consists of a single HTML […]
For a colleague of mine: RSS2MySQL v0.1. A Small script which reads in an RSS feed, takes the news items and then puts them in a MySQL database.
Ik heb vervelend nieuws voor jullie (en voor mezelf ook eigenlijk). Het is namelijk niet meer mogelijk voor mij om mijn eigen server te hosten. Voor mensen waar ik dingen voor host heeft dat de volgende gevolgen: Alle e-mail adressen gaan weg. Als je dus een e-mail adres @electricmonk.nl hebt die je via de website […]
