Et tu, Cthulhu

    In Norway

    Well Situated, Friendly Neighborhood

    On December 7, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In GNOME

    Ben has some good news for anyone interested in reducing the memory usage of Linux programs. Smaps is great. But does it tell the whole truth? For PCs with (basically) limitless swap space, it’s possible that it doesn’t even come …

    Session-wide valgrind

    On November 13, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In GNOME

    Now that we know that even Evolution runs under Valgrind, we need a bigger challenge. So, how about the entire GNOME session? I've written a couple of tiny scripts that lower the threshold to doing this. They take care of …

    Evolution is da logic bomb

    On November 2, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In GNOME

    You know the story. Random crashes preventing you from reading your mail all morning. This time, though, there’s a twist (and a moral). The twist is that instead of complaining on IRC – ok, I mean in addition to complaining …

    Flow in CVS

    On October 11, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In GNOME

    I just imported Flow to GNOME CVS (module “flow”). It has a fairly detailed HACKING file for those interested. The low-level I/O is done (for Unix), modulo a little polish. Mid-level stream fundamentals are mostly done, but I need to …

    Blow up Pluto

    On August 24, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In Life

    I think we should just blow up Pluto. This would put the poor bugger out of its misery and end the debate over whether it's a planet or not. We'd learn a lot from the engineering challenges, and it'd be …

    FIXME: Article summary here

    On August 13, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In GNOME

    How many FIXMEs do the various projects in my jhbuild directory have? Curiosity got the better of me today: hpj [~/work/jhbuild/gnome-2.16] for PKG in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | cut -b 3- | sort); do N_FIXME=$(find …

    Rainy Day

    On June 1, 2006 By Hans Petter Jansson In Life

    Lots of wind and rain yesterday. Our street turned into a muddy river. Heavy machinery was brought in today to fix it up 'till next time.

    Intermittent

    On December 4, 2005 By Hans Petter Jansson In Life

    Right. I've written a little script for Cacti, and I'm going to use it to show Telmex just what I mean by "intermittent DSL downtime". The orange bars indicate service outage. Every time this happens, my IP changes as an …
