G1, the review after usage
No Comments
So, i have been using the G1 for some time now, and thought it was time for a somewhat more in depth review. I’m writing this post on my G1 with postbot. Lets start with the keyboard. The keyboard is quite comfortable, and I can almost type blind on it. I can feel where the [...]
Removing the link boxes from Latex’ Hyperref (and color)
Aah Latex… A love hate relation ship. Working on my thesis I use the hyperref package for some nice linking support in my document. unfortunately this also causes them to get link boxes around them. Here’s the code to remove them: \usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref} \hypersetup{ colorlinks,% citecolor=black,% filecolor=black,% linkcolor=black,% urlcolor=black } EDIT: Hyperref seems to offer this [...]
HAR inspired Python Pygame fun
I have always wanted to do some stuff with Pygame. When i saw the logo on the HAR2009 wiki I whipped up a little python program that draws squares and fades between colors. It looks pretty cool! Needed: Python, Pygame Downloads: har_squares [edit]Seems i have uploaded the wrong file… My apologies to the original writer. [...]
Drakonen.com
Finally i had the impulse to buy my own domain: drakonen.com. I ‘moved’ my blog to this domain which took a simple symlink. Making Nginx do a moved permanently redirect was a bit harder though, and caused quite some frustration. But here it is: server { server_name drakonen.digigen.nl; if ($http_host = ‘drakonen.digigen.nl’ ) { rewrite [...]
Nginx userdir list

This would have worked fine if had some more work but memory usage was pretty bad (especially for big files). So, I started on [...]

P900, linux and connection to the internet
I got an unlimited gprs/umts plan for my P900 a while ago, so I wont be needing a windows pc anymore to connect to the internet. What would be nice though is connecting from my laptop to the internet using my P900. I found this site which seems to do the trick pretty well. More [...]
Registering in is sooo web 1.0
I’m really fond of anonymous or non-registered web sites. If you can please do it, and devise some smart way to not make people to have to register. Registering on yet an other site is annoying and most of the time its totally useless. I don’t want to register just to read your site. This [...]
