Harddisk full

Sun, 05/18/2003 - 11:47am

It didn't work:

Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 147998 38314 102286 27% /
/dev/wd0g 218590 43298 164364 21% /home
/dev/wd0d 99198 2 94238 0% /tmp
/dev/wd0f 395902 384822 -8714 102% /usr
/dev/wd0e 545518 438424 79820 85% /var
/dev/wd1a 793294 194768 558862 26% /var/www/htdocs


I guess it was worth trying, but Java on such a small server is probably not a good idea anyway. PHP it will be, for now.

Installing Tomcat

Sun, 05/18/2003 - 11:27am

I've just installed the harddisk Gerben gave me; it works fine. Currently I'm seeing if I can install a Java-based webserver for some experiments. I'm afraid it won't work because it requires a lot of diskspace and processing power. There is no native Java implementation for OpenBSD, so Java is used through a Linux-emulation layer. Not only will this be quite slow, but it also requires me to install the redhat-compatability package, which is huge.

Google Pigeon Rank

Sat, 05/17/2003 - 12:15pm

Pigeon Rank.Many computer programmers are interested in the way Google works. They use very sophisticated mathematical algorithms to deal with the huge amount of data on the internet.

I found a quite readable explanation of the more fundamental stuff.

Free Saturday

Sat, 05/17/2003 - 11:34am

It's nice to have a Saturday without any obligations! Last Tuesday I delivered my homework assignment, and the next deadline is in 2 weeks. Today I'm not working on it.

In the morning I experimented a bit with the server of this website. Two weeks ago I found out that the floppy diskdrive is broken and this morning I tried another one. However, it seems that there is something wrong with the mainboard; I didn't get any diskdrive working. Not a big deal, but it will be difficult to upgrade to the OpenBSD 3.3. I think I'll wait with that, it isn't very urgent. Maybe I'll have time this weekend to get the new harddisk working. Gerben gave me one (thanks!). It's 800 MB and will therefore double the total capacity of the server.


In the afternoon we went for a long walk and did some shopping. It wasn't extremely busy in the city.

A few hours ago I submitted the fourth assignment of Internet Programming... Teddy Bears.com!

Always a relief to be ready with such a thing.

Chess 5 years

Mon, 05/12/2003 - 2:00pm

NH RijnhotelThis weekend we celebrated that Chess-iT exists 5 year. We were in Arnhem. It was a lot bigger than the events we had with Net.Footworks, especially because partners were also invited: there were more than 60 people.

Friday evening we arrived late, so we had a drink in the hotel. Obviously many people had digital camera's with them, but Edo was the first one today to put them online.

The Hunt for Mister UniqueSaturday we did the Hunt for Mister Unique, a very nice puzzle-tour through the city. By answering questions and reacting on SMS-messages we had to track down somebody.

Anonymous joke

Mon, 05/12/2003 - 8:30am

A physicist, an engineer, and a computer scientist were discussing the nature of God.

"Surely a Physicist,'' said the physicist, "because
early in the Creation, God made Light; and you know, Maxwell's equations, the dual nature of electromagnetic waves, the relativistic
consequences...''

"An Engineer!,'' said the engineer, "because before making Light, God split the Chaos into Land and Water; it takes a
hell of an engineer to handle that big amount of mud, and orderly separation of solids from liquids...''

Then the computer scientist
said: "And the Chaos, where do you think it was coming from, hmmm?''

Joana left

Fri, 05/09/2003 - 4:26am

Joana.Joana just went to the airport, she stayed here exactly one week. Yesterday we went out to Café Fidèl; very cosy. The ladies were having Margeritas, but I just stayed with a nice Duvel.


It was very nice that Joana was here. Too bad Bulgaria is so far... We had a typical Bulgarian exchange: Joana brought us sirene (Bulgarian feta-cheese) and she left with Dutch Gouda.
