Basic SVN tutorial

While I was searching for a very quick and good SVN tutorial, I found this one:

which had just the basics covered for starting within minutes. Cool!

Haskell SOE

The Haskell SOE (School of Expression) is absolutely awesome. The lecture slides are on this address, the solutions are on this address. One of the best (and most entertaining) books on Haskell I have found so far.

More on the project with the site redesign

After a discussion on ubuntuforums.org, I decided to follow as many of the advices I was given as possible. I have prepared a new header image; the .jpg seemed a bit better than the .png one to me, and it was a bit smaller in size as well (23 vs 34 kb). Here it is:



Also did some other minor changes (fonts, etc). More to come, but later.

The redesign of the website seems complete to me

So, a complete redesign of the website was made, absolutely from scratch. For the header I used a part of a GPL'd picture from gnome-look.org. The colour scheme is from colourlovers.com. All other stuff/design is by me - created in a text editor, tested in Firefox 3+/Opera 9.64+/IE 7+ on Windows and Linux - and on all of these browsers it looks ok to me.

I'm still performing some minor improvements, but I think this is what it will look like from now on.

This is how the old design looked like:


I felt absolutely nothing wrong with it, but I wanted to create one by myself. Also, the newer one seems to be more W3C-validator-friendly (about 70 errors vs over 1000 for the older design - and almost all of these 70 errors come because of the upper banner that blogspot.com puts on every website in their domain - hopefully one day I will learn how to fix them ;]).
As well as the newer one:

How to check the computers connected in the wireless network in Linux

A quick way to check how many computers are connected to the (home) wireless network would be:


$ nmap -v -sP 192.168.10.0/24


(of course, changing the numbers accordingly for the relevant network). Also, the program 'nmap' should be installed beforehand...

Eclipse + Subclipse + Javadoc setup

I have spent some time setting Eclipse 3.5 up with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The basic set-up is as simple as uncompressing the newest version for Linux, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE. There were some problems at first trying to set it up together with Subclipse - namely it complained about "unable to load default SVN client"...

After googling a bit, there was this thread on ubuntuforums.org, that came with some answers. After writing this in the "eclipse.ini" after "-vmargs":
-Djava.library.path=/usr/share/java/
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/

as well as after installing the newer version of Subversion from the backports repository plus these additional plugins (form the URL Subclipse provided):
-- SVNKit, SVNKit Client Adapter, SVNKit Library, JNA Library
it worked just fine. It may sound like a lot of work, but it didn't take much time actually.

Another thing worth setting up in Eclipse is the javadoc:
-> in the package properties there is the rt.jar file.
-> in its properties, a javadoc location should be added (it's a local file in my configuration, something like "file:/usr/share/javadoc/docs/api/"
