It pains me to let my N900 go. We have been together for almost two years now – but I have to move on. I can still remember the unwrapping of the shiny Nokia box back in that gentle, fresh late-autumn morning back in November ’09. Moving from a Sony Ericsson K800i, this was a […]

Is ZFS overly hyped?
When ZFS first appeared, it was well received and praised. The time was ripe for a modernization of file systems to eliminate the tedious task of having to plan and create volume groups. My first experience with ZFS was when I was hired to build a NAS for a small business. Initially, I chose to […]
Endnu en ubrugelig valgprognose
Som tidligere omtalt byggede vi på min tidligere uddannelse et stemmesystem med det formål at stille entry- og exitpolls tilgængelig ved et lokalt valgmøde. Valgmødet foregik i Nykøbing F. og var primært rettet mod unge under 18. Det var altså rent teoretisk. Vi gjorde os dengang følgende observationer: Man kan tydeligt se en tendes til […]
Politiske partilogoer i svg format
I forbindelse med konstruktionen af et valgsystem tilbage i 2007 havde jeg brug for de enkelte partiers logoer i et vektorbaseret format – da det ikke var alle der havde den slags liggende, gav jeg mig i kast med at kreere dem selv. Nu da der atter er valg, kan nogen måske få nytte af […]
Digitalisering i praksis – *suk*
Public service. Log direkte på uddannelseskort via faelles.uddannelseskort.dk. I morgen skal jeg starte igen. Men jeg har stadig ikke fået noget uddannelseskort til at rejse med. Til gengæld har jeg fået en faktura fra DSB. I dag. Med betalingsfrist i dag. Der står også at der kan gå op til 14 dage fra de har […]
Migrating Dovecot 1.2 Maildir to Dovecot 2.0 dbox
I am in the process of migrating to a new mail server. Therefore I need to, as painlessly as possible, move users. The details about the setup is another story for another day – promise. This guide is targeted for Debian systems, but the concepts apply for all other systems as well. Dovecot 2.0 comes […]
Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54L on Debian
I have a Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54L USB wifi dongle. It very convenient as my router and access point is placed in the basement, and I sometimes have computers on the main floor that do not have built-in wifi. The dongle works out-of-the-box™ on Ubuntu, but as debian are more restrictive, it need a bit more work. […]
Proftpd and LDAP on Debian Squeeze
This is a short howto (hopefully) providing enough information to install Proftpd and use LDAP as user database. Background I have become obsessed with LDAP – at least for the time being. It seem to be the answer to my redundancy and distribution plans. A production server is in the process of being converted (migrated […]
Chenbro ES34169 mini-review
I have had my eye on the Chenbro ES34169 case for some time now. It is relatively inexpensive small case with 4 build-in sata harddisk bays. My plan was to replace the current chassis to make a more compact NAS. Unfortunately, the power supply does not work with the Jetway NC9C-550-LF I am using as a […]
