Safari takes 100% cpu

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:12:18 +0200

Today I wondered that my safari browser (3.2.1) was taking 100% cpu just by displaying the apple page.

I've noticed that the blacklist-database for fraudulent websites seems to be broken.
If you have these problems try to disable that feature in the settings -> security dialog.
If you need the feature quit Safari first and execute the following command then:

sudo rm -r /private/var/folders/*

If you restart Safari now it'll rebuild your blacklist-database.

Mail and IMAP creates massive of .INBOX folders

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:27:16 +0100

I was getting tired of the mass of new INBOX folders with new Trashes and Sent folders. There is actually no real fix from apple, but some other guys found a workaround for it, and it worked perfect.

So follow this link: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8357354#8357354

Pidgin and duplicate buddies

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:29:26 +0200

Since Pidgin Version 2.1.1 (atm till 2.2.0) some of the AIM/ICQ buddies are more than one time in your buddy list.

It seems that it is caused by the server, that holds a buddy in more than one group.

There is also a ticket at the bugtracker of Pidgin, there you can also download a patch I've written, that will fix the problem.

Getting amr/3gp support to mplayer

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 17:55:00 +0100

Due to license reasons the support of 3GP is not implemented in mplayer. You can play 3GP movies in mplayer but you wont hear sound.

Now you have to compile the amr support into your libavcodec.

new design & scripts

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 17:52:10 +0200

Once again, after a longer time, I'll update this page again.
First of all, there's a new design, I hope you enjoy it.

Also I've written two new very small scripts, so you can post your current track played with amarok to users in gaim or XChat.

Script-Download for Gaim

Just put it into your gaim plugins directory, mostly .gaim/plugins and restart gaim and enable it. To use it, just use !np in the conversation window

Script-Download for XChat

Just put it into your XChat directory, mostly .xchat2. You can either load it by using /load .xchat2/amarokinfo-xchat.pl or restarting XChat. The usage is: /np

I hope you enjoy it

isuser.c

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 10:43:41 +0100

After some boring times, i've just written a small c program to check if a user exists on a system.
It has various exitcodes, so you can easily use it with other programs to check for a user.

# ./isuser
Usage: ./isuser

# ./isuser root
User root exist and has the UID 0

Script for XChat

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Tue, 24 May 2005 18:44:04 +0200

Long time new news, here comes a new script for you.

I've written a script for easy calculating the CIDRs of ranges for XChat.
You just need Net::CIDR.

Usage:
Local echo: /cidr 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.10
Say to current channel: /cidrsay 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.10

New version of psybnc numeric ident patch

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Fri, 18 Feb 2005 13:50:05 +0100

I've just released a more secure version of my psybnc numeric ident patch.
It'll now use the current username of the process for spoofing the ident, so you can't change your ident by editing the psybnc.conf file.

This patch has been written for version 2.3.2-4 and may also work with older versions.

You can get it here:

TSAC v1.1 has been released

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Fri, 14 Jan 2005 14:45:47 +0100

Finally a new version of TSAC has been released today.

There were several fixes and changes in the code since the last release, here comes the CHANGELOG:

---

** New **
setpassword(), setmaxusers(), setservername(), adduser() are now standalone functions, so you can use it for editing later.
getglobalinfo() will give you several infos about the mainserver.

Please read the documents for the handling of these new functions

** Fixed **
deleteserver(): If a server was already stopped it wasnt deleted
getserverinfo(): now trimming non-visible characters
getserverlist(), getplayerlist(): now using str_replace and not preg_replace. PHP was trying to allocate a huge amount of memory with preg_replace if the list is big.
several typos in the documents

---

I've stripped some code from the addserver function so you can now edit the maximum playerlimit, servername, etc after adding the server.

Bug in TSAC

nospam@example.com (Nils) — Thu, 30 Dec 2004 02:52:05 +0100

A bit late now here, just forgot to post it here too and not just on sf.net

I've discovered a small bug in the deleteserver() function, what will not delete a server.
Once a server has been stopped and a new admin connection has been established to the mainserver the server has to be started first to get deleted.

Workaround:
Line 401:

if(!$this->stopserver($port)) return false;

Change to:
$this->stopserver($port);

It seems, that the teamspeak server got a little cache, so you will get 2 different results if you delete it with the same connections while the server was added or if you create a new connection.

A new version will be released next year with new features and also including this bugfix.

Die Qlimax war der Hammer!

Leider sind die Bilder der beschissenen Einwegcam (die nur erlaubt waren) nix geworden, dass ich nur 3 Bilder im Endeffekt habe...

Dafür gibt es Bilder in sehr geiler Qualität auf Q-Dance.nl.
