Wednesday, August 29, 2007. C unit testing framework. There was some complaints about how much boilerplate code was required in CUnit, and how much cleaner c tests were. I found it a bit absurd to use c unit test framework to test c-code just because of the boilerplate code, so I whipped up some wrapper around CUnit to avoid the boilerplate code, and poured in some gcc-extensions and linker tricks to make it work nicely. It is available for download here. A test suite looks like this:. Int i = 10 20;.

Sunday, April 02, 2006. Ok, this post has been in draft state for almost month, so I guess I'll just publish it, before it is totally outdated.). It is also interesting to relate this to the "network neutrality"/"broadband discrimination" discussion. The caching should decrease the amount of traffic through the carriers. Instead of starting paying the carriers lots of money, the money could be spent deploying caches at the ISPs. Posted by Anders Waldenborg at 18:30. Malmö, Sweden. View my complete profile.

Saturday, September 22, 2007. I used to read a few news feeds in Thunderbird. So I decided I wanted to store them to maildirs accessible over imap. I found quite a few different tools to get feeds converted into email in different formats. Newspipe looked most promising, so I set it up to pipe to procmail using a special procmail.rc-file. But things didn't really behave they way I wanted. It also wanted to run in daemon mode, I would have preferred it to run from cron. So now I have feeddir.py update.

Monday, March 06, 2006. How caching supersedes multicast. After some discussion with Alexander I've spent some time during the last week thinking about and discussing multicast and distribution of television. I decided that it would probably be a good idea to have it written down. Multicast is an effective method to deliver the same data to the several nodes at the same time, but what are the applications of multicast? This makes the group of applications where multicast is useful very limited. There...

Tuesday, August 23, 2005. To skype or not to skype. While I do like the userfriendliness and extreme ease of use of skype, it has a few big problems, that by them self probably had made me avoid skype, and combined even made me motivated enough to write this. Skype uses a proprietary protocol. I don't really care if the protocol is secure or not, but I want to know how secure it is so I know when I should and when I shouldn't use it. All protocols that claims to be secure should be open for public sc...

Monday, June 05, 2006. Friday I was at reboot 8. There was a few presentations worth mentioning. Jesse James Garrett - Beyond tagging: User generated information structure. Luckily I'm not writing any GUI application currently, so I wont try to implement it :). Jeremy Keith - In Praise Of The Hyperlink. Chris Heathcote - A mobile Internet manifesto.

Monday, January 16, 2006. Release driven by test coverage feedback. Tried something new when releasing XMMS2 0.2 DrBombay. Set a requirement to reach a "test goal" before releasing. This means that the release was postponed until enough test coverage feedback was released. Posted by Anders Waldenborg at 21:02. Saturday, January 07, 2006. So, I have started to use utf-8 as default character set on my primary laptop. Why did I change from iso-8859-1 (aka latin 1)? But I want to contribute to making utf-8 a...

Monday, November 19, 2007. Finally I got around publishing the source for the little XMMS2 client I've been working on (when not preparing the DrKosmos release). It is designed for use on the FIC neo1973 phone, turning it into a remote control for your XMMS2. Most time was wasted fighting with bitbake. Or rather getting bitbake and waf to get along. I wrote some simple custom gtk widgets using gob2 for use in x2r. Those are available in the awidgets repository on git.0x63.nu. Malmö, Sweden.
