Bureaucracy
Seeing how governmental workers can take their time, and the same probably goes for china, I would like to warn everybody to apply for a good time in advance.

My rants about everything
My future
Well, a lot( for limited amount of lot ) of people have asked me what
I’m supposed to do next year, having finished my Sivilingeni�ster
degree in Computer Engineering. As you’ve probably know I handed in my
thesis this semester, leaving me done in Trondheim.
My next 4 years are going to be spent at the university of Murcia in
Spain working on my Ph.D, continuing my research work on Chip
Multiprocessors from the Master’s Thesis. For those of you familiar
in Spain, that would be a hour eastward from Alicante, and for those of you
not familiar, it’s on the Spanish mainland.
I’m currently planned to begin the work in the start of September,
however I’m moving down in the end of August to prepare my stay, and
to get used to the city before I start working.
Now it works
After some playing with python, I’ve finally finished my booklist plugin for pyblosxom.
Still some work that should be done, like a way to fetch both the booktitle and the cover
image from the same ASIN.
Had some initial trubbles with running this on my VPS though, seems like my current version
of debian runs some old Python 2.1, while the one I’ve been developing on runs Python2.3.
This resulted in me creating two different versions of the plugin, both available to download.
Here’s the links:
Feel free to use them, the secret variable is $booklist, IIRC
Working on my booklist plugin
So, the last few days I’ve been hacking on a little booklist plugin
for this blog. At the moment it’s starting to look like something usable, but
still some work to be done until I’ll put it up on this blog. (Running at my
testserver at home, those of you that know the url can check it out there)
Anyways, I’ll guess I’ll have it finished by the end of this week, so check in
around Sunday, and maybe you’ll find a new plugin.
Happy hacking to all of you, and a happy new year
Made commenting work like I want.
So, I finally got around to make the commenting system
work just the way I want to, with the right theme and
stuff like that.
One could have told me that you needed the ?showcomments=yes after the
link to make the commenting system appear.
Needless to say, critical features like that should be written about in the
README or INSTALL file.
Well, happy commenting,
Kenneth
No More Spam!!
I hope..
Thanks to the guys over at PyBlosxom.sf.net I’ve found a plugin
that,hopefully, will kill most of the spam. It shouldn’t be hard
for the not-bots out there to make real comments, even though I don’t
think that will be a problem seeing how many that comments on this blog
to begin with.
If there are any others having the same problem with PyBlosxom check this out:

Redesigned the site
So, with the help of my good friend Marti I took the Sunday night and
redesigned this entire blog. ( Well.. not the entire).
I’ve been productive today though, created Root certificate for this entire
domain, securing several login pages. Redesigned this blog, and rewritten
some code on the pyBooklist plugin.
I am the C++ master
I hate it when your third party libraries f00 stuff up. This time libxml2 seg.faulted when I tried to send it a string not terminated by \n\0.
I’ll check into it later, and send a mail to the mailing list when I’m more sure about the error. It could be me after all
On further notice, I bought Jay and Silent Bob yesterday for the movie night at Ingers place. So for our > 00.00 movies we have Don’t be a menace, Dogma and Strikes back, which should be light but entertaining movies.
New frontpage and some more
Yay, so I finally got around to create a new and better frontpage for
langly.org
I would as usually like to thank Marti for his help on the desgin/css part.
Still, I find assembly more logical and easier to work on than that HTML/CSS
thing everybody are talking about.
On the other side, I finally got my set of Ubuntu cd’s now, so if you want some
you can just grab me when you see me somewhere, I got some spare ones.
So, with my new ubuntu cds, I had to atleast try it at my laptop, and the first impressions
are great. The apt system plus more or less bleeding edge packages is what I want for my
laptop. Don’t want to sit x->inf hours compiling stuff on my laptop. This last year I’ve only
updated it twice due to Gentoos long compile time.
Oh, btw. Ubuntus cover art rock, almost worth ordering the cds only because of that

Schoolproject
Soo, I’m finally getting somewhere on my schoolproject, yay!
Over the few last days, I’ve been hacking C++ to the max, learning
everything there is to know about Unix sockets, XML and XSL transformations.
Now, my tips to you, _DO_ initialize your pointers if you want your app to work, I’ve spent X hours trying to debug something that could have been fixed in 5 mins if I’ve only had initialized the pointer to NULL in the first place.
On the other hand, the GUI part is going along great(I think), will show screenshots when we got something to show.
