The definitive HTPC case

Tuesday 17th October 2006, 21:03

I’m one of those that prefer the HTPC to be small and slim. It should feature enough power and no more. Transcoding can be done elsewhere. Massive storage can be housed elsewhere. In the livingroom I want a single slim good looking HTPC that matches the rest of the stereo. SilverStone LC09 might just be [...]

D-Link DGL-4300 Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Router

Tuesday 12th September 2006, 23:07

I’m currently struggling to get the D-Link DGL-4300 to play nicely with the network here at home. I keep getting problems when doing large transfers over the wireless network.
The problems occur both towards the linux-server running samba 3.0.x and towards the stationary windows box. For the client it’s registered as either a “Delayed write error” [...]

Slight design update

Sunday 3rd September 2006, 14:52

I’ve now made some slight changes to the design and layout. All the graphics have been exchanges for new ones. I decided to take the golden-framing slightly further and also to change to one of my own photos on top. This time featuring my very own Saab 9-3 Aero SportSedan in it’s Laser Red coloring.
I’m [...]

Wordpress - File Upload Problems

Saturday 2nd September 2006, 0:49

When configuring Wordpress to support file uploads I ran into a tricky issue. The server responded with:
The uploaded file could not be moved to .
The message above is displayed if there is a problem uploading or using the uploaded file, this is normally associated with security issues, such as the user that the webserver is [...]

ISO Date and Time for Programmers

Monday 28th August 2006, 10:37

Markus Kuhn has the best writeup on ISO 8601 (date and time formatting) that I’ve seen. Concise and to the point it’s just what you need to read to sort things out. Check it out -> International standard date and time notation.
For those of you who like regular expressions (regexes for short) here is my [...]

Micro-breaks and Coffee reminders

Monday 14th August 2006, 14:54

Daniel Nylander gave me a tip to check out Workrave which is a small application that helps you avoid work-related injuries by reminding you to take breaks etc.
It keeps track of how long time you’ve spent actively at the computer and tells you to take small micro-breaks (30 seconds) and longer coffee-breaks (10 minutes), with [...]

NAS Solutions for the home.

Sunday 13th August 2006, 18:09

I’ve been looking at setting up some central server or possibly NAS-solution for quite some time now.
It would provide a central location for storage between the machines here at home, currently it’s quite annoying that some data is on the laptop and some on the workstation, by having a high-performance network storage unit available this [...]

First draft layout done.

I was a member in one of the online computer artgroups, iCE for a while, but that was [...]
