  This post is just to claim my blog on Technorati. I'm pretty sure you can ignore this as a reader of my blog. ;) Sorry for the noise! [Read full post…]

• Tool of the year: ii (irc it) (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  Via James Pic I just got to know the fantastic tool irc it (short ii). ii is a very simple and slick designed IRC client, that works on the Linux / Unix shell. ii simlpy uses the file system to structure IRC connections, channels and queries and offers FIFOs to communicate with the server. It allows you to write IRC bots in bash (or any other language that allows file access) with a glimpse and my mind already imagines a huge ton of possible applications. My first test showed that it works really cool! Amazingly cool tool and therefore in the sense of BitlBee (yes, I skipped a year ;) my tool of the year (so far). [Read full post…]

• eZ Components and GIT (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  James Pic wrote a little article on how you can import the eZ Components SVN into your local GIT installation. This way you can stick to your favorite version controll system and don't need to use SVN much if you want to try out the latest features in eZ Components and use GIT as your favorite version conroll system.

• Major update for spamdyke on Gentoo howto (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  I recently migrated my server to a new maschine and a new provider. After supporting Kore today with installing spamdyke on his maschine, too, I seized the chance to update my Spam Filtering with Spamdyke in front of Qmail howto on the wiki. The howto describes how to install the most recent version of spamdyke on a Gentoo system, explains the most important configuration options and gives some practical hints for such setups. You can ask Kore, it only takes about 10 minutes to do so ;) and saves you a huge lot of spam. Comments and addtions are very welcome. [Read full post…]

• What Firefox tells you about yourself (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Judith posted about a funny experiment: Try to enter each letter of the alphabet into your browsers (I guess - or hope - most of you use Firefox, but most other browsers also support autocompletion) and collect the website it suggests first. This is most probably the website you visit most, starting with the specific letter. So, here is my list: [Read full post…]

• At IPC2k7: WebDAV will come over you... (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  The new semester has right begun, which basically means that the semester vacation as it was named earlier (now the lesson free time) is over. While that meant a lot of exams and work on the book for Kore and me at first, we had time for some vacation and finally to take care about a brand new eZ Components project: [Read full post…]

• Howto: Spamdyk and Qmail on Gentoo (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  After my server was close to wasting all its CPU time for checking email messages for potential spam using Spamassassin I decided that it was time to investigate. My friend Arne, who helped me a lot with Qmail problems earlier, recommended to install spamdyk, an SMTP spam filter that is placed in front of Qmail and does not require specially patches for the MTA itself. Spamdyk can filter mail by blacklisting, whitelisting, greylisting and using several other options. [Read full post…]

• Making the kernel (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Since my new baby is not fully working under Gentoo, yet, I'm updating my kernel each time a new version of gentoo-sources occurs in portage. If you are configuring your kernel by hand, you know what that means every time (at least for me it did): [Read full post…]

• My new notebook (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  After 2 years of really satisfied use of the IBM/Lenovo T43p I decided that time has come to upgrade. When the T61p was released by Lenovo some weeks ago I felt that this would be the right for me and so far I did not regret it until now. While I read/heart a lot about Lenovo quality constantly dropping I cannot confirm this. [Read full post…]
