a cosmological pedestrian
I’ve finished my diploma thesis (more about this later) and started to work on lomoco again. lomoco can configure vendor-specific options on Logitech USB mice (or dual-personality mice plugged into the USB port). Since there are some places where you can find code to control Logitech mice, I decided to write a shared library. We will provide a command line client to configure your mouse....
WengoPhone 2.1rc1 has been released today. We migrated the build system to the CMake and added an abstraction layer called owbuild for WengoPhone. It compiles just fine under Linux, MacOSX and Windows on x86, x86_64 and ppc. The last weekend I have fixed a lot of problematic warnings to be sure it works just fine under x86_64 now. Back to WengoPhone. It has some nice...

At the beginning of October I started writing my diploma thesis at SUSE Linux in Nuernberg. I’ll develop a library and a PAM module to synchronize the home directory from a Linux client to a Microsoft Windows ADS environment and back. The main problem of this subject is to write a file synchronizer which works with the infrastructure we already have and acts like the...
Hi, the Build Service uses now Novell’s iChain to authenticate the user. So my home project has changed to home:gladiac and I build now all packages against the KDE:Qt project. Update you configuration for the new URL. By the way KVIrc 3.2.5 is availiable 🙂
The last weeks I’ve started to work into CMake. CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. If you’re now asking which project for example is using CMake as make system, KDE4 and now WengoPhone. WengoPhone is a GPL-licensed multi-platform softphone using Qt4. The next generation version of WengoPhone is...
Since KDE 3.5.4 the konsole has 256 color support. You don’t believe it? Test 256 color support in your terminal: echo -e “\e[38;5;196mred\e[38;5;46mgreen\e[38;5;21mblue\e[0m” If the words are displayed in the right colours, all is well. Not you have 256 and you want to use it, sure. First we want vim with 256 colors! Goto the konsole configuration and set the TERM variable in the “Session”...

Hi, as promised I’ve dropped gpsd 2.32, gdal 1.3.2 and gpsdrive 2.10 from cvs at the openSUSE buildservice. I hope they will be build soon. gpsdrive will be the last package, it depends on gdal and it is blocked atm. Please let me know if you have problems. I dunno if the gpsd udev script works as expected. There is a bug in gpsd which...
