Find the error

client =(ClientSocket*)malloc(sizeof(ClientSocket)); 
client->server_addr =(struct sockaddr_in*)malloc(sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
bzero(client,sizeof(ClientSocket));
bzero(client->server_addr ,sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));

Grrr!
Pretty obvious

Update on ARS2.0 – Modulehandler

So, I finally got to finish down some important sections on the ARS2 code. I rewrote some of the way that we’re handling modules and removed the install script from the tar.gz package that you try to install. This is replaced with the install() function inside the main module itself.

This leaves my test module to look something like this:

package ARS2::modules::test;
use base("ARS2::Module");

sub install{
	print "Testing installscript\n";
		return 1;
	}
1;

The plan here is that it gets both the constructor and the cleanup method from its base class ARS2::Module overriding the install method with its own cool thing. Now to see if it works in real life

On the other side, I hate when I get a song in my fingers while I’m playing the
guitar without knowing which it is.
For those of you that don’t play any kind of instrument, it’s like like having a song in your head times 1000.
_{(it was “Wish you were here” with Pink Floyd)}

Have fun,

ARS2 starts now.

Now that Illiad have let the cat out of the box I’m guessing that
it’s okey for me to blog about the progress at ARS2
At the moment Pic and I are writing the base system making sure that we cover
all of the bases so it will be easy to expand the system with modules later on.

For now I think we both would like to thank the not so very local coffee shop for the help.

Beep Media Player 2

So, after submitting my patch for Beep Media Player I kinda got
hooked on their project. And after having a quick chat with deadchip
and asking if he needs help for their project, I ended up with helping out
on their new UI on BMP2.

To make a long story short ( Not as long actually ), I ended up implementing
scroll function on their play list stuff. This resulted in a new patch from
me which were sent to Deadchip earlier today.

Their new interface is pretty cool, and I can’t wait until they get something
that can actually play music. Maybe with some more cool patches from me?

For those of you that want to see some nice pictures, this is the place to go:
clicky and here

I’ll be posting more updates on this project later on if you guys are interested
Kenneth

Edit: Hum, I’ve been overly productive the last couple of week, just not
with the stuff that I’ve been supposed to do, namely ARS2. Hope you’ll forgive me Arne

Hehe, Cartoonist me

So, I finally got around to do some fun hacking again. It’s been a long time since
last time I had the time to hack together something that made me laugh during the
process.

So today I wrote xmlToCartoon, a simple little app that takes a xml sheet as input,
some stock characters and creates a cool cartoon out of it

I’ll upload the source code someday real soon, so watch out all of you freehand
cartoonists out there. This will put you out of work

Anyways, I should go to bed now.
Kenneth out

New shoutcast ripper

So, Stacato and I’ve started writing on our shoutcast ripper, and today I’ve made it rip the whole
stream, (insert yay here).
For those of you that are interested, I’ve had an old page here clicky

Also some screenshots of the QT app there, just something stacato threw together.

I’m not sure if the tar.gz there works though, but download it and try if you want to

Gnu/Hurd installed

M$ Vista being released now and everybody installing
a new operating system, I had to try something new too.
This led me into installing Gnu/Hurd on my laptop. I actually tried Vista but it
killed my entire box and left me with nothing more than none. That being said,
I needed 2 or 3 tries with Mach, the Gnu/Hurd kernel, but as soon as I tried the newest
one from cvs it worked as a charm.

The above picture is taken from the first boot, and worth mentioned is that the picture is taken
with my new Ericsson w850i cell phone.

ooh, and a happy new year to you all..
Back to the Hurd hacking

Greetings from my parents house

So, what have Kenneth done for X-Mas you might ponder..
Wonder no more, I’ll let you know here right now..

First of all, I’m staying at my moms house for X-Mas and some days past
New Years eve. I’ve already planned some dinners, and been to some of the
local coffee shops. I’ve been missing them very much. Haven’t quite found
my own coffee shop up in Trondheim yet, even though I’ve heard some rumors
about one that’s really good.

You would also like to know that I haven’t been relaxing all time. Among some
I’ve gotten around to hack more on NAUT, and done some initial work on my infamous Hex-editor, which you can find some pictures of here: clicky
At the moment I’m just playing around with Cairo to get a feeling about what’s possible and not. Nothing big though.

For those of you missing me up there in Trondheim, or sick of me here in the Lillestr�ea, I’ll be leaving for home at the 5 of January.

My rants about everything
