jQuery tricks 1: automatic-wslider

Posted by Ktoso under coding (7 Responds)

This time I’ll post some actual code. A client wanted me to write an “image slider”. You’ve probably seen lot’s of them online – and a whole lot of them is in flash – why? There is no need to involve flash in such a trivial task, and jQuery is more than up to the [...]

(Almost) Automatically convert files into PDF

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

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..?). [...]

Yes, my GNU/Linux skills have been certified and now I can call myself a Red Hat Certified Technician as I’ve today passed the RH-202 exam with a 100% score – which leads me to the idea that I should have tried to tackle RHCE and not RHCT – I’ll do ir eventually someday I guess [...]

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… ;-)

Vim Hacking – 1 – vis

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

Vim is a really amazing text editor (though I’d like to learn Emacs too soon… :-)) and it can be easily expanded to be even more useful. One super cool extension I found is: vis – it allows powerful sed-like line modification (you could use sed from inside vim, but that’s not really “handy”). Vis [...]

Posted by Ktoso under coding, freedom (No Respond)

I really love the Exaile gnome music player, and not so long ago version 0.3.0 was released. First thing i did was of course wget && tar xzvf && make && su -c ‘make install’ ;-) but… I’d rather have a version from the repository, to update it easily. As no package for Fedora 11 [...]

Smart webpage migration

Posted by Ktoso under coding, freedom, guide (No Respond)

I recently had to migrate a big website – about 5GB – to a new server. That could take a while to do, right? Well, maybe if you did it like that (the not smart way): Thanks goodness I’m not really keen on doing stuff the slow “not_smart” way, and the new server is a [...]
