ViewCVS to replace WebSVN

WebSVN was simply not efficient enough. It lacked a lot of features and such, so ViewCVS was the solution. The development version has native support for Subversion, so I spent a couple of minutes setting it up. Seems to work out fine.

You can access the repositories through URLs like: http://lillesvin.net/viewvc/dyndnsupdate, unfortunately I can’t seem to get the repository indexer to work at the moment, so the world will just have to know what it wants and put it after /viewcvs/ in the URL.

I wrote a little HowTo on setting up ViewCVS with Subversion support, you can find it in the Brainstorm sektion (NOTE: link removed), which I’ve setup for things such as this. :) (Go directly to the HowTo: http://lillesvin.linux.dk:8080/brainstorm/SetupViewcvsAndSubversion.html (NOTE: Wiki taken down.).)

Furthermore, all subversion repositories are now running through Apache2/WebDAV, so to make a checkout of e.g. dyndnsupdate you’ll should use:
svn co http://lillesvin.linux.dk:8080/svn/dyndnsupdate dyndnsupdate

Btw, I’ve gotten a Skype account! So, mail me, if you want to contact me through Skype.

Lillesvin goes Ruby

Now that the summer and the sun is shining, I thought I might as well spend some time doing something useful and healthy, which is why I’ve decided to rewrite the entire site in Ruby. Ruby is a very, very nice truly object-oriented programming language from the far east. (Yes, Japan to be exact.)

All this coding of course means that I’ll have less time to write in my blog and let you know all about my oh so interesting life in front of my 14 inch window to the world-wide world, but who cares? I’ll tell you who… None! That’s who. ;-p

You can get yourself a sneak-preview of the new site at port 8080 (Update: Not anymore!), where I’ve got an Apache 2.0.50 running Ruby 1.8.2 via mod_ruby 1.2.0. Nice and fast… Mmm… So far I’ve only got the blog (w/o comments and stuff) running, most of the initial coding is pure backend stuff, which is needed in order for most things to work… Once I get to the frontend, things should start moving a little faster.

Enjoy Ruby!

500+ Downloaded tracks

“It’s alright”, he said and pointed at the toaster. It’s nice to return from a couple of days in the country and see that the download count for Anders K. Madsen (my acoustic solo-project) has reached 500 downloads.
It would be nice if more people would drop a comment on the tracks if they feel some way about them, so let this be an encouragement to do that.

Top 5 cigarettes:

  • Camel Regular
  • King’s Original
  • Samson Zware Shag + Rizla
  • Gauloises Original
  • Golden Virginia + Rizla

Lillesvin, revision 50+

Well, I just realised that the code of Lillesvin has had over 50 revisions (see bottom of pages). This means that I’ve been one active coder (and a less active blogger) lately. E.g. I’ve just rewritten the Music index completely, allowing for more artists (so far only 1 — a friend of mine) to publish music on this site.
Now, don’t think I’m trying to become a new and another place for amateurs to publish their tracks. I’m only providing it for myself and my friends. With that said, go on to the Music section and start downloading.

Now, I’m going to catch a train now, so no images today, although I would like to post a link to one hilarious picture I stumbled upon as I was cruising in my Firefox the other day. A duck! (Update: Link dead.)

No hair, no heir?

Fehår The evil wizards from the north cast this spell on me (actually “on my hair”), my cursed hair would now curl more and more all the time.
And indeed, it did…
So I took the cowards way out, a trimmer — and this is the result. Unless you want to tell me how great I look, don’t comment on my hair — or lack of…

Anyhow, I had to cancel my plans about going to Finland, since I have no money and it’s the fucking 2nd of the month!!! Hope I can get some work - night shifts - this summer, so I can finally get on top of my economy again. :-p

Well, that’s about it for complaining… No wait… I forgot… I’m NOT at Roskilde Festival, but Graham Coxon is. :-(

Hmm, I guess there’s nothing more for me to do around here at this time, so…

Over and (far) out!
