Submitted by LordVan on Wed, 06/16/2010 - 06:52.Hi.
If you create an account please note that i do look through new ones regularily and will block or delete suspicious accounts (if for example it is an account name with viagraXX or sth then it goes straight to the bin).
If i suspect someone is a bot/spammer i usually send an email out so please reply otherwise your account will prolly get deleted/blocked.
If your account got blocked please drop me a quick mail (webmaster@ the domain of the page) with your username (from the email address you used to register) and i'll unblock it.
Thanks

Nokia N900 Maemo 5 PR1.2 update -- conclusion
Submitted by LordVan on Sat, 05/29/2010 - 20:49.First of all it worked ok!
I did not have enough free space on '/' (root) to complete it at once so it aborted twice for me ..
If it does that: don't panic .. in the terminal (as root) run dpkg --configure -a (which will finish setup of all the already installed packages -- which will clear up more space again. (running 'sync' is always good as it can give u even more space 
after that just re-start apt-get dist-upgrade
-- rinse and repeat until done

Nokia N900 Maemo 5 PR1.2 upgrade
Submitted by LordVan on Wed, 05/26/2010 - 13:25.just wanted to upgrade only to notice it wants to download like 111MB and of course there ain'T enough space on /var/cache/apt/archives .. (it says that when you run apt-get dist-upgrade as root from the command line)
Warning: no guarantee this works / does not break anything / delete your data,..
!!!I found that putting archives on the sd card is a bad idea since it seems to unmount that in the process -- recovery was possible for me but i don'T suggest it as it can be a bit tricky

Broad Green archers webpage and robots meta tag ;)
Submitted by LordVan on Wed, 03/18/2009 - 10:44.I just noticed recently that for some strange reason a page I had made for Broad Green Archers was not listed on google. So I started investigating and wasn't particularily surprised about it anymore when I noticed that the pages had a robots META tag with NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW .. 
New howtos section, twisted blogs
Submitted by LordVan on Wed, 03/04/2009 - 10:36.As is visible from the previos blog posts I started to write small howtos regarding python / twisted / nevow.
At first I wanted to put them as a Page but drupal won't let ppl add comments on Pages so I just put a Page with links to blog entries (ones just before this one
)
There is a new Howto link at the top of the page btw. Look out for more howtos / content

Nevow HTML Table rendering with xhtml template and stan
Submitted by LordVan on Wed, 03/04/2009 - 10:33.Very short example of a Page with xml template and a table which is used to render some data (with stan).
Thanks to Brend for sharing this with me (he also said that there is probably some way to do it without stan, but I quite like this as it is easy to use):
