I just noticed that scootertechno.com has no RSS, so I wrote one. Available here, or in "binary form", here.

So swig uses two spaces instead of tabs, horrible. But I'll get used to it - just I don't want to fuck up my vimrc just because of their idiotic settings.

Here is the trick:

au BufRead */swig*/* set tabstop=8 | set shiftwidth=2 | set softtabstop=2 | set expandtab " SWIG
au BufRead */swig*/Source/* set tabstop=8 | set shiftwidth=2 | set softtabstop=2 | set noexpandtab " SWIG Source
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.i set filetype=swig
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.swg set filetype=swig

The swig syntax file is here.

So upstream recently released hal 0.5.12 and it's maintained by crazy who seem to be a bit busy currently, and I don't really wanted to bump his pkg (actually I tried and I failed), but I bumped our udev pkg yesterday so we no longer has libvolume_id. So I backported the relevant patch from git and it seems to work. ;)

(Actually the header is informative, but fake as I created the patch from scratch, based on the one which was in git.)

Okay, this is a crazy idea, but I love asciidoc. So the pipeline is the following: asciidoc -> docbook -> latex -> pdf -> odp -> ppt.

The fun part is that docbook is XML and then later I convert the stuff back to XML again (odp), but that's necessary as latex adds the nice themes and layout to the text.

Also the method is semi-automated as I generate latex from asciidoc, then copy&paste it to a latex-beamer document with some manual fixup, then I can convert the rest in a more or less automated way. Time to package odfpy and other affected, but not yet packaged components. ;-)

Here. I have no idea if this one will be ignored as well - since two of my reports (here and there) are already ignored.. :/

I hit this issue a few times, but now I took the time to Google it out. So when I download lots of music to my Nokia 3110c phone, I keeps restarting because the Nokia version of OOM killer terminates the music indexer process. Given that it's a vital process (I don't know the proper term for this), the phone is restarted. It does this sequence about 5 times, then it just switches off.

The trick is to delay indexing, if it does so a bit later after the phone boot is already done, it can succeed properly. The hack is to limit the internal memory free space, that will trigger this delay:

Now Keep ur free Phone memory space [Not the memory card's free space] between 470kb - 499kb

The style is horrible, but the info is useful, after setting free space like this, it can really handled large amount of music fine. ;)

They say so. :)

Time to unsubscribe from the git list and append #git to activity_hide_targets. ;/

A list of (AFAIK) all Hungarian students:

Istvan Szakats Kornél Lugosi Balazs Dianiska Geza Kovacs Gabor Kovesdan gabor janos pali Tamás Sallai Gergely Patai Kornél Pál Miklos Erdelyi Peter Somlo Miklos Vajna Viktor Gal.

So now we are 13, it's interesting because AFAIK we were only 6 last year, when more students were accepted in general. ;)

Update:

I missed two of them:

tom ilsinszki gergo erdosi

So I wanted to rotate each page in a pdf file clockwise using pdf2ps, pstops and ps2pdf. Actually I haven't figured out how to do so, even if I already used pstops (which is cryptic for the first time) multiple times so far.

Sure, I know ideally how to do it, but then I just got blank pages.

But pdftk seem to do it properly:

pdftk in.pdf cat 1-endE output out.pdf

Here and there.

Other than that I got a pretty usable answer for my question here.

Wow, I really like the lilypond community. :)

Long time no blog, mainly because I'm pretty busy with real life.

So yesterday I got an answer on the asciidoc list about how to do C++ source hilighting that works with html and pdf output as well. The problem is that source-highlight (used for html) and docbook have a different name for this crappy language.

The solution was to do

:cpp: cpp

Which says "if docbook, then c++ otherwise cpp", and then I can just use

Yay!
