ArchLinux domU - Setup Script

Today i played around with ArchLinux, a very neat distro! I am always trying to keep my software as minimalistic as possible, so i can easily reproduce my setups. Having similar setups helps you to keep administrative tasks to a…

git lol - the other git log

So i got tired of the git log default output, since it was simply too bloated for my Macbook Pro Terminal. It’s ok my 30” Apple Cinema Display (or one of the other 22” surrounding it), but even there it doesn’t show me enough for my…

Ever forgot to sync one of your hundred git repositories?

I guess it happens to all of us, you sit at work, you commit your changes, then you go home. While driving in your car, you might come across the thought “darn, did i push my changes?”. If you are one of those people who have so much…

Probably everyone has used, or at least seen a Symbian based phone.If you’re a normal user and don’t know what i mean by “Bluetooth Stack”, please stop reading or you just might not understand what i am talking about and get angry at me…

First impressions on Apple's Xcode

So after my first iPhone (2G) broke almost 1.5 years ago, i finally got another iPhone a few days back. My dad’s company (ESIRION AG) is really busy developing all kinds of fancy webapps, so he asked me if i could work my brain into…

I've got a lot to do these days

Sorry if i haven’t done any recent posts. This is because i have a lot to do.One of my companies lost a contract last year due to that Quelle (a big german warehouse and online delivery service) went bankrupt last year. I managed to get…

IP-Traffic accounting with PostgreSQL-Triggers

So i got this DB-server which does nothing but work out NetFlow files with flow-tools.Since i want that data to be as live as possible for my customers, i’ve decided to go with a 15-minute rotation interval. This leaves me with 96 rows…
