Just googeled for myself and stumbled over a lot of interesting stuff that I once participated in:
Here’s a brief list … in no particular order:
Newlib:
Die the original CellBE SPU/SPE patch.

TwoLame:
Added a switch to change verbosity.

Transcode:
Wrote the plugin for twolame, since it encoded mp2 much faster then mp2enc.

SciTE:
Made file dialog size configurable and keep their state.
Using a 400px wide dialog to select a file where character 250 differs is bad.
Especially if you work on a 3200×1200 dual head setting.

RedBook:

[argl] … time to upgrade my wordpress… just lost 70% of this post.
Don’t know which key I hit, but it was bad

I usually don’t just post links to other blogs,
but this one made me laugh:
Name one way you are not Hitler…

I just wonder how it ended up on the gentoo world

Ever since Google AdSense kicked me out of their program about a year ago now,
my ad revenue went up.

Up?
Yes, up.

I simply replaced their ads with AdBrite ads and now I earn much more with a lot less work.

So what are you waiting for:

Long time no update, I know.

A few weeks ago our old provider (alturo) decided to piss everyone off and close its business.
Got a pretty nice deal for a new server by haggling … a lot.

Only tradeoff:
The new system runs plesk.
And plesk is the pest.

On the old server everything was in one database and all the configuration files (bind, apache, mysql, postfix) were created by one simple script.

The layout was something like this:
Customer
( 1 -> N ) Login
( 1 -> N ) Sites

So if Customer “Thomas Test” had login “ttalpha” and “ttprod” with three domains (alpha.1.org, alpha.2.org + a.3.org and www.1.org, www.2.org + www.3.org),
then the filesystem looked like this:
/home/
–ttalpha/
—-web/
——alpha.1.org/
——alpha.2.org/
——alpha.3.org/
–ttprod/
—-web/
——www.1.org/
——www.2.org/
——www.3.org/

With one login (and password/sshkey) shared per login/user,
but a tight seperation of the test and production sites.

Now with PLESK … argl.
For the above setup, I need about 400 Clicks in the Webinterface.
And then I end up with 3 users … and have the subdomains (alpha+www) shared for each domain.
Or I get 6 users … with 6 logins and 6 passwords.

Yuck.

I still have to get qmail to work right. Some of my mail is simply swalloed and I have yet to find out what happens … I don’t even get bounces

This PLESK-mess sucks.
And I _will_ find a new host soon!

The DNS-disaster is a whole new story ….
