[release] Sidewinder X6 MacroKeys on GNU/Linux

Posted by Ktoso under coding, freedom, fun, terminal heroes (No Respond)

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 [...]

[review] AgileCE 2011

Posted by Ktoso under fun, review (1 Respond)

This conference review will be a little different from what I’m usually posting. The thing is that ACE was really most about the networking and exchanging ideas with other interesting people. It really felt “open” (no, I won’t be overusing the word “agile” here – don’t worry ;-)). The speaches where also on a very [...]

[terminal heroes] Display git branch in shell prompt (PS1)

Posted by Ktoso under english, fun, guide, terminal heroes (2 Responds)

I don’t think I’ve blogged about this but I’ve seen this sometime ago and now decided to add it to my .bashrc for good. It’s a simple trick to make an awesome PS1 shell prompt, displaying the branch you are currently on (if you’re in a git versioned directory). Not that I’m forgetting what branch [...]

Posted by Ktoso under coding, freedom, fun, java (No Respond)

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 [...]

[release] maven-git-commit-id-plugin

Posted by Ktoso under coding, english, freedom, fun, guide, java (15 Responds)

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 [...]

G73 keyboard backlight scripts

Posted by Ktoso under coding, freedom, fun, gaming, guide, terminal heroes (18 Responds)

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 [...]

git-hacking: pre-commit hook and custom command

Posted by Ktoso under coding, english, freedom, fun, java, terminal heroes (1 Respond)

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 [...]
