Dumping 32-bit for 64, and maybe Ubuntu for something else too?
Published in scili.wordpress.com - 26 d 17 h ago
At the moment, my laptop runs 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10, despite the processor (an AMD Turion 64 X2) being x86-64 capable. I wouldn’t have any perceptible performance change should I change to a 64-bit OS, primarily because with only 2 GB of RAM everything can be addressed with only 32 bits. However recently I’ve decided that, with 64-bit being the future of computing (as one of my friends often cites when I ask him why he persists trying to hunt down 64-bit drivers for his <4 GB machine, when there are 32-bit versions much more readily available), and my processor being capable of it, I’m going to move to 64-bit.
Pidgin and X-chat plugins to execute a command on new messages
Published in guysoft.wordpress.com - 26 d 17 h ago
Hi all,
A while ago, when I coded message alert plugins for pidgin and X-chat so each time I get a new message my bumble-b LED display would flash, so I thought I might release the code here for people to use.
package managers
Published in invalidmagic.wordpress.com - 26 d 18 h ago
i’ve been into package managers for some time and i always wondered why developers have to define dependencies manually and not supported by a program using ‘a syscall interface monitoring all OPEN calls‘ in combination to something like ldd for the built binary.
the idea is pretty simple:

Ubuntu
Published in wh00ps.wordpress.com - 26 d 15 h ago
A few months ago (probably almost a year now I come to think about it) I blew up the second hard drive on my desktop -the larger one- which led to windows becoming unusably slow, probably something to do with the virtual memory being restricted to about 1GB of free hard drive space.

Simplest bare metal program for ARM
Published in balau82.wordpress.com - 26 d 16 h ago
Bare metal programs run without an operating system beneath; coding on bare metal is useful to deeply understand how a hardware architecture works and what happens in the lowest levels of an operating system. I wanted to create a simple example of bare metal program for ARM using free open source tools: RealView Development Suite is the state of the art of ARM compilers, but it is expensive for hobbyists; Codesourcery is a company that provides a free version of the GNU gcc toolchain for ARM cores.
