So, many guys have asked me why I like to run real OSes on my production servers, instead of some flavor of Linux. Earlier today I did some reading in the iptables.c file, which manages a crucial part of every important server’s software, namely the firewall. And in shock I found this comment: /* If you listen carefully, you [ READ MORE ]

*work in progress. Earlier today I read a thread at my school class’ forum where one guy posted a thread where he said that religion is the root of all evil. Needless to say, that created a lot of fuss, like it always have done. I’ll try to steer clear of the whole religious or not debate here, [ READ MORE ]

For those of you that want to check out what I’ve done the last 6 months you call all check out the site here Now, some words about the presentation. A nice combination of nerves, lack of sugar and no coffee made me speed the presentation up [ READ MORE ]
Well, a little status report on my Abakus works. As of today the developer server supports SVN over WebDAV, without SSL/TLS. The latter one is in the workings, I’m just pondering how I can require SSL/TLS on one specific Apache location. Please post a comment if you have some clue about it. As I see it today, it’s 3 [ READ MORE ]
So, I’ve had my first serious round with Spring-MVC/Tomcat, going through the tutorial over at springframework.og Now spring seems like a excellent choice for our Abakus project, but I would like the guys that wrote the tutorial to go through it and check for errors. They have some small but _very_ annoying ones in their JUnit stuff. Important notes [ READ MORE ]

Besides this he also gave us a couple of ideas for further improvement. The good part is that most of the functionality are already implemented, we just have to rewrite some parts [ READ MORE ]
As some of you’ve probably heard by now, I’ve started to write some code on Abakus’ new Internet portal nicknamed NAUT. The last couple of days Idar, �mund and I have gotten a lot of code down, even some GUI stuff are down by now, ( need to have something to show the good Abakus people. ) For those [ READ MORE ]
So I managed to get that Sparc4 up and running. Right now it’s running Apache and serving webkom.abakus.ntnu.no. Load from hell, but except that it runs great. It still takes some time for the DH key exchange, but it serves pages well. Vegar also found some old Abakus pages from our backup tapes, and one can now, if nostalgia strikes [ READ MORE ]
