I’ve released my keyboard event mapper for the Microsoft Sidewinder X6 in an quite usable state right now. Take a look at sidewinder-x6-linux-macro-key-events on github. Here’s a quick description what it does: As the Sidewinder is an Microsoft keyboard, it obviously does all it can to not work at it’s full potential on GNU/Linux systems [...]

Yesterday and today I’ve been hacking some JavaScript during a free training organized by http://releasingforce.com/ although they’re not really braging that it’s them who do these meetings, more precisely: http://www.devmeetings.pl/ :-) As I’m coding quite a lot GWT and JS has also become quite powerfull in the last years I enlisted the training to learn [...]

Yup, today I’m releasing yet another piece of cool free software! It solves a problem we’ve had at our company, the tester tometimes tested stuff that wasn’t deployed yet, and the developers thought it was deployed and this caused some weird situations sometimes. Using the plugin I’ve written, we’re able to expose “which version is [...]

I’ve upgraded my desktop and laptop last week. By “and” I mean that I’ve bought an desktop replacement class notebook – an Asus G73 series. Amongst many nice parts it has I’m very happy about the harddrives – Seagate Momentus XT, click the link to see an very interesting benchmark of it. Anyways, that’s not [...]

As my team is using a kinda weird source eclipse code formatter setup, that other IDEs can’t emulate in 100% I sometimes found myself committing in a file with only a few changed spaces. Of course, I could use “external-formatter” plugins etc but that’s no good. Running eclipse’s formatter each time I want to format [...]

An very amazing and beautiful song I just had to share with you guys! It’s by http://www.deadtroll.com/ so feel free to get over to their site if you liked it :-) It’s my second favourite GeekSong – I’ll link my favourite next week (by VoidMain and an special guest!)… :-) Download the MP3 file: three_dead_trolls_in_a_baggie-every_os_sucks.mp3 [...]

A week ago a friend of mine told me about an interesting idea by FDM (Fabryka Dźwięku z Muz – pl. ‘Factory of Sounds from Muses’ (it’s kinda hard to translate)). FDM is a small music label, supporting new and fresh artists (indie, could be a good word here I guess). As such, it’s not [...]

I’m learning Numerical Analysis right now and a friend of mine found some really nice PS files by dr Marian Bubek ( http://www.icsr.agh.edu.pl/~mownit/mownit.html ). I was really happy to see some *.ps but some people from my fellow students started complaining that they’d rather have pdf’s and not ghostscript files (who knows why they’d do..?). [...]

I’ve recently bought a new laptop, a 15.6” HP Probook, that replaced my netbook Asus EEE 900 (needed some bigger hardware to work on “on the move”). One problem I encountered was blender not displaying correctly if I’d expand any dropdown menu etc. The fix is very simple yet powerfull, just set the following: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 [...]

My first blender animation: The wine doesn’t look nor feel nor even behave like normal wine but it’s just my first animation so there’s still time left for me to improve… ;-)
