ShowIP: Firefox extension to show and query the current IP Address in the statusbar
03/29/06 21:11:25 *
admin
ShowIP is a Mozilla Firefox extension which shows the IP Address of the current page in the browser's status bar and allows queries to different databases about it when you right click on it. The IP is colored red for an IPv4 address and green for an IPv6 address (hence the name). Since v0.7.8 these colors can be changed in the preferences menu.
With a left click one can get information about the hostname of the current page. These queries are fully customizable in the settings dialog. You can also run custom local programs.
The extension can be downloaded here: ShowIP 0.8.03

Ever being annoyed by not being able to type TABs (keycode 9) when editing textareas in your favorite cms? Well after some research, I seem to have found a solution - at least for the more popular browsers. If anyone has an idea how to get the current cursor position in khtml based browsers (safari, konqueror), please drop me a note.
The below was tested on the Mozilla platform and with Internet Explorer 6.0.

Useful mldonkey scripts
06/08/04 18:38:00 *
admin
To manage my mldonkey client under Linux I've written two scripts:
The first one ('donkeyrotate.sh') changes mldonkey port numbers and adjusts the iptables rules accordingly. Afterwards mldonkey is restarted.
The second one ('rss2donkey.pl') reads an rss feed and submits new links, which match a set of regular expressions, to mldonkey. Quite useful if run from cron.
There is also a helper script 'mlcmd' which executes its parameters via netcat on mldonkey console and a init script 'donkey'.
If anyone is interested in these, you can fetch them here.

html to wap gateway
05/20/04 17:08:43 *
admin
Some time ago I wrote a small script which allows to view normal webpages with the integrated wap browser of mobiles, because my providers has a wap flatrate, but no web flatrate.
The result is a small php tool which allows to convert arbitrary urls to wap pages.
You can use it like this: http://w.l4x.org/<url>.
So, for example http://w.l4x.org/slashdot.org
This works quite nice, also with pictures, if you've an jpg enabled mobile. For the page with pictures try:
http://w.l4x.org/i&slashdot.org.

how long an average filename is.
To answer that, I wrote a small bash script. 94.15 Percent of the filenames in my home directory are shorter than 25 characters. Here is a sample output and the source code.

So I've been on a fascinating trip to Pakistan for 10 days together with 7 friends (Antje, Christian, Daniel, Guenter, Isi, Kristina, Max) to witness the wedding of our common friend Sascha with his bride Zainab.
Here are the first pictures: http://l4x.org/site/image/tid/32.
Short summary (to be extended):
Wed, 14.4.: Hamburg to Frankfurt with railway, left Hamburg at aroung 15:00h, arrived in Frankfurt at 19:30h, then check-in for Emirates flight to Lahore via Dubai, countless security and passport checks. Started at 22:20h.
Thu, 15.4.: Arrived in Dubai at 6:40h (local time). We stayed for 15 hours in Hotel and have seen a bit of the city, but without car it's hard to get around. Started again at 22:00h, direction Lahore.

Help for MP3-Compare
Possible options on the 'Your MP3s' and 'Your friends MP3s' tabs:
[image:514]You may enter a path, or select one with the browse button. The program searches for a file called 'mp3list.mcz' in the specified directory. On success this file is loaded, otherwise the specified directory is scanned. If 'Scan subdirs' is checked, it will scan recursively. If 'Add to list' is selected, the files found (file or scan) are added to the current list, so you're able to read a whole disc-set in one file.
The button 'FN2TAG' converts the filename(s) of the selected mp3(s) to tags, if they're after the scheme 'artist - title'!

XFree Xinerama extension hack
03/08/04 11:47:00 *
admin
When installing my 3 monitor setup I quickly discovered that the native xfree xinerama extension is incompatible with nvidia twinview. You can only have either one. This leads to applications believing I have one 2560x1024 screen and one 1280x1024 screen. If I maximized windows they would always span two screens.
Therefore I spent a long time searching for a solution on google, but unfortunately there are a) few people with 3 monitors and b) no one had solved this. So I decided to patch the X server.
What I've done so far is to take programs/Xserver/Xext/panoramiX.c and fake the reply like this:

Hey, that cannot be that hard?!
But it was. You have (of course) configure your taxonomy to be available for stories. Afterwards you're able to assign a term to a story and thus it appears on the article page.
