<description>
-<p>Since
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/LUMA__a_very_nice_LDAP_GUI.html">my
-last post</a> about available LDAP tools in Debian, I was told about a
-LDAP GUI that is even better than luma. The java application
-<a href="http://jxplorer.org/">jXplorer</a> is claimed to be capable of
-moving LDAP objects and subtrees using drag-and-drop, and can
-authenticate using Kerberos. I have only tested the Kerberos
-authentication, but do not have a LDAP setup allowing me to rewrite
-LDAP with my test user yet. It is
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/j/jxplorer.html">available in
-Debian</a> testing and unstable at the moment. The only problem I
-have with it is how it handle errors. If something go wrong, its
-non-intuitive behaviour require me to go through some query work list
-and remove the failing query. Nothing big, but very annoying.</p>
+<p>Frikanalen og NUUG jobber for å få <a href="http://www.ted.com">TED
+talks</a> kringkastet på
+<a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a>, for å gi et mer
+variert innhold på kanalen som i dag sendes på RiksTV, Lyse og
+Uninett. Før innslagene kan sendes må det lages norske undertekster,
+og dette her trengs det frivillige. Det er hundrevis av innslag, men
+mine favoritter er
+<a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/james_randi.html">James Randi</a> og
+<a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/michael_specter_the_danger_of_science_denial.html">Michael
+Specter</a>. Hvis du har litt tid til overs, bli med på å oversette
+TED-foredragene til norsk og få på plass undertekster. TED har
+allerede opplegg på plass for å håndtere oversettelser og
+undertekster. Registrer deg på
+<a href="http://www.ted.com/translate/forted">sidene til TED</a> i
+dag!</p>
+
+<p>NUUG holder også på å få alle opptakene fra NUUG-presentasjonene
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/video/frikanalen/frontpage.cgi?organization=NUUG">publisert
+på Frikanalen</a>. Foredrag på engelsk må også her tekstes og
+oversettes. Ta kontakt med video@nuug.no hvis du vil bidra med
+teksting og oversetting. Arbeidet koordineres på epostlisten og på
+IRC (#nuug-video på irc.oftc.org), og <a
+href="http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/video/frikanalen">en wikiside</a>
+brukes som notatblokk for arbeidet. Mest lovende verktøy for dette
+ser i dag ut til å være
+<a href="http://universalsubtitles.org/">Universal Subtitles</a>, som
+lar en bidra med teksting via en nettleser.</p>

-<p>De siste dagene har Aftenposten
-<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3718597.ece">fortalt</a>
-<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3724249.ece">hvordan</a>
-politet har brukt skriveverktøy som ikke håndterer arabisk tekst og
-tekst som skal skrives fra høyre mot venstre når de har laget
-løpeseddel for å be om informasjon fra publikum. Resultatet har vært
-en uleselig arabisk-bit på løpeseddelen. Feilen har oppstått når
-teksten har blitt "kopiert inn i programvare som ikke har støtte for
-språk som skrives fra høyre mot venstre", og jeg er ganske sikker på
-at det er snakk om Microsoft Office i dette tilfellet. Er det slik at
-MS Office i norsk språkdrakt ikke har støtte for tekst som skal
-skrives fra høyre mot venstre? Jeg tror alle utgaver av
-OpenOffice.org har slik støtte, og det er jo ikke veldig vanskelig å
-la slik støtte finnes i alle utgaver av et program hvis støtten først
-er utviklet. Aftenpostens melding får meg til å undre om problemet
-ville vært unngått hvis politiet brukte OpenOffice.org i stedet for MS
-Office.</p>
-
-<p>Mon tro om det er flere eksempler på at MS Office har ødelagt for
-offentlig myndighet?</p>
+<p>Jeg er med i
+<a href="http://www.bilkollektivet.no/">Bilkollektivet</a> her i Oslo,
+og har inntil i dag vært fornøyd med opplegget. I dag kom det brev
+fra bilkollektivet, der de forteller om nytt webopplegg og nye
+rutiner, og at de har tenkt å angripe min rett til å ferdes anonymt
+som bruker av Bilkollektivet. Det gjorde meg virkelig trist å
+lese.</p>
+
+<p>Brevet datert 2010-09-16 forteller at Bilkollektivet har tenkt å gå
+over til biler med "bilcomputer" og innebygget sporings-GPS som lar
+administrasjonen i bilkollektivet se hvor bilene er til en hver tid,
+noe som betyr at de også kan se hvor jeg kjører når jeg bruker
+Bilkollektivet.
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Anonym_ferdsel_er_en_menneskerett.html">Retten
+til å ferdes anonymt</a> er som tidligere nevnt viktig for meg, og jeg
+finner det uakseptabelt å måtte godta å bli radiomerket for å kunne
+bruke bil. Har ikke satt meg inn i hva som er historien for denne
+endringen, så jeg vet ikke om det er godkjent av
+f.eks. andelseiermøtet. Ser at
+<a href="http://www.bilkollektivet.no/bilbruksregler.26256.no.html">nye
+bilbruksregler</a> med følgende klausul ble vedtatt av styret
+2010-08-26:</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Andelseier er med dette gjort kjent med at bilene er
+utstyrt med sporingsutstyr, som kan benyttes av Bilkollektivet til å
+spore biler som brukes utenfor gyldig reservasjon.</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>For meg er det prinsipielt uakseptabelt av Bilkollektivet å skaffe
+seg muligheten til å se hvor jeg befinner meg, og det er underordnet
+når informasjonen blir brukt og hvem som får tilgang til den. Får se
+om jeg har energi til å forsøke å endre planene til Bilkollektivet
+eller bare ser meg om etter alternativer.</p>

-<p>Here is a short update on my <a
-href="http://people.skolelinux.org/~pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">my
-Debian Lenny->Squeeze upgrade testing</a>. Here is a summary of the
-difference for Gnome when it is upgraded by apt-get and aptitude. I'm
-not reporting the status for KDE, because the upgrade crashes when
-aptitude try because of missing conflicts
-(<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/584861">#584861</a> and
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/585716">#585716</a>).</p>
-
-<p>At the end of the upgrade test script, dpkg -l is executed to get a
-complete list of the installed packages. Based on this I see these
-differences when I did a test run today. As usual, I do not really
-know what the correct set of packages would be, but thought it best to
-publish the difference.</p>

<description>
-<p>For a laptop, centralized user directories and password checking is
-a bit troubling. Laptops are typically used also when not connected
-to the network, and it is vital for a user to be able to log in or
-unlock the screen saver also when a central server is unavailable.
-This is possible by caching passwords and directory information (user
-and group attributes) locally, and the packages to do so are available
-in Debian. Here follow two recipes to set this up in Debian/Squeeze.
-It is also possible to set up in Debian/Lenny, but require more manual
-setup there because pam-auth-update is missing in Lenny.</p>
-
-<h2>LDAP/Kerberos + nscd + libpam-ccreds + libpam-mklocaluser/pam_mkhomedir</h2>
-
-This is the traditional method with a twist. The password caching is
-provided by libpam-ccreds (version 10-4 or later is needed on
-Squeeze), and the directory caching is done by nscd. The directory
-lookup and password checking is done using LDAP. If one want to use
-Kerberos for password checking the libpam-ldapd package can be
-replaced with libpam-krb5 or libpam-heimdal. If one is happy having a
-local home directory with the path listed in LDAP, one can use the
-pam_mkhomedir module from pam-modules to make this happen instead of
-using libpam-mklocaluser. A setup for pam-auth-update to enable
-pam_mkhomedir will have to be written until a fix for
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/568577">bug #568577</a> is in the
-archive. Because I believe it is a bad idea to have local home
-directories using misleading paths like /site/server/partition/, I
-prefer to create a local user with the home directory in /home/. This
-is done using the libpam-mklocaluser package.</p>
-
-<p>These packages need to be installed and configured</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-libnss-ldapd libpam-ldapd nscd libpam-ccreds libpam-mklocaluser
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>The ldapd packages will ask for LDAP connection information, and
-one have to fill in the values that fits ones own site. Make sure the
-PAM part uses encrypted connections, to make sure the password is not
-sent in clear text to the LDAP server. I've been unable to get TLS
-certificate checking for a self signed certificate working, which make
-LDAP authentication unsafe for Debian Edu (nslcd is not checking if it
-is talking to the correct LDAP server), and very much welcome feedback
-on how to get this working.</p>
-
-<p>Because nscd do not have a default configuration fit for offline
-caching until <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/485282">bug #485282</a>
-is fixed, this configuration should be used instead of the one
-currently in /etc/nscd.conf. The changes are in the fields
-reload-count and positive-time-to-live, and is based on the
-instructions I found in the
-<a href="http://www.flyn.org/laptopldap/">LDAP for Mobile Laptops</a>
-instructions by Flyn Computing.</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
- debug-level 0
- reload-count unlimited
- paranoia no
-
- enable-cache passwd yes
- positive-time-to-live passwd 2592000
- negative-time-to-live passwd 20
- suggested-size passwd 211
- check-files passwd yes
- persistent passwd yes

- max-db-size passwd 33554432
- auto-propagate passwd yes

- max-db-size group 33554432

- positive-time-to-live hosts 2592000
- negative-time-to-live hosts 20
- suggested-size hosts 211
- check-files hosts yes
- persistent hosts yes
- shared hosts yes
- max-db-size hosts 33554432
-
- enable-cache services yes
- positive-time-to-live services 2592000
- negative-time-to-live services 20
- suggested-size services 211
- check-files services yes
- persistent services yes
- shared services yes
- max-db-size services 33554432
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>While we wait for a mechanism to update /etc/nsswitch.conf
-automatically like the one provided in
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/496915">bug #496915</a>, the file
-content need to be manually replaced to ensure LDAP is used as the
-directory service on the machine. /etc/nsswitch.conf should normally
-look like this:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-passwd: files ldap
-group: files ldap
-shadow: files ldap
-hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
-networks: files
-protocols: files
-services: files
-ethers: files
-rpc: files
-netgroup: files ldap
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>The important parts are that ldap is listed last for passwd, group,
-shadow and netgroup.</p>
-
-<p>With these changes in place, any user in LDAP will be able to log
-in locally on the machine using for example kdm, get a local home
-directory created and have the password as well as user and group
-attributes cached.
-
-<h2>LDAP/Kerberos + nss-updatedb + libpam-ccreds +
- libpam-mklocaluser/pam_mkhomedir</h2>
-
-<p>Because nscd have had its share of problems, and seem to have
-problems doing proper caching, I've seen suggestions and recipes to
-use nss-updatedb to copy parts of the LDAP database locally when the
-LDAP database is available. I have not tested such setup, because I
-discovered sssd.</p>
-
-<h2>LDAP/Kerberos + sssd + libpam-mklocaluser</h2>
-
-<p>A more flexible and robust setup than the nscd combination
-mentioned earlier that has shown up recently, is the
-<a href="https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/">sssd</a> package from Redhat.
-It is part of the <a href="http://www.freeipa.org/">FreeIPA</A> project
-to provide a Active Directory like directory service for Linux
-machines. The sssd system combines the caching of passwords and user
-information into one package, and remove the need for nscd and
-libpam-ccreds. It support LDAP and Kerberos, but not NIS. Version
-1.2 do not support netgroups, but it is said that it will support this
-in version 1.5 expected to show up later in 2010. Because the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sssd.html">sssd package</a>
-was missing in Debian, I ended up co-maintaining it with Werner, and
-version 1.2 is now in testing.
-
-<p>These packages need to be installed and configured to get the
-roaming setup I want</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-libpam-sss libnss-sss libpam-mklocaluser
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-The complete setup of sssd is done by editing/creating
-<tt>/etc/sssd/sssd.conf</tt>.
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-[sssd]
-config_file_version = 2
-reconnection_retries = 3
-sbus_timeout = 30
-services = nss, pam
-domains = INTERN
-
-[nss]
-filter_groups = root
-filter_users = root
-reconnection_retries = 3
-
-[pam]
-reconnection_retries = 3
-
-[domain/INTERN]
-enumerate = false
-cache_credentials = true
-
-id_provider = ldap
-auth_provider = ldap
-chpass_provider = ldap
-
-ldap_uri = ldap://ldap
-ldap_search_base = dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-ldap_tls_reqcert = never
-ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>I got the same problem here with certificate checking. Had to set
-"ldap_tls_reqcert = never" to get it working.</p>
-
-<p>With the libnss-sss package in testing at the moment, the
-nsswitch.conf file is update automatically, so there is no need to
-modify it manually.</p>

<description>
-<p>The last few days I have been looking into the status of the LDAP
-directory in Debian Edu, and in the process I started to miss a GUI
-tool to browse the LDAP tree. The only one I was able to find in
-Debian/Squeeze and Lenny is
-<a href="http://luma.sourceforge.net/">LUMA</a>, which has proved to
-be a great tool to get a overview of the current LDAP directory
-populated by default in Skolelinux. Thanks to it, I have been able to
-find empty and obsolete subtrees, misplaced objects and duplicate
-objects. It will be installed by default in Debian/Squeeze. If you
-are working with LDAP, give it a go. :)</p>
-
-<p>I did notice one problem with it I have not had time to report to
-the BTS yet. There is no .desktop file in the package, so the tool do
-not show up in the Gnome and KDE menus, but only deep down in in the
-Debian submenu in KDE. I hope that can be fixed before Squeeze is
-released.</p>
+<p>A few days ago I had the mixed pleasure of bying a new digital
+camera, a Canon IXUS 130. It was instructive and very disturbing to
+be able to verify that also this camera producer have the nerve to
+specify how I can or can not use the videos produced with the camera.
+Even thought I was aware of the issue, the options with new cameras
+are limited and I ended up bying the camera anyway. What is the
+problem, you might ask? It is software patents, MPEG-4, H.264 and the
+MPEG-LA that is the problem, and our right to record our experiences
+without asking for permissions that is at risk.
+
+<p>On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is
+written:</p>
-<p>I have not yet been able to get it to modify the tree yet. I would
-like to move objects and remove subtrees directly in the GUI, but have
-not found a way to do that with LUMA yet. So in the mean time, I use
-<a href="http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/">ldapvi</a> for that.</p>
-
-<p>If you have tips on other GUI tools for LDAP that might be useful
-in Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>This product is licensed under AT&T patents for the MPEG-4 standard
+and may be used for encoding MPEG-4 compliant video and/or decoding
+MPEG-4 compliant video that was encoded only (1) for a personal and
+non-commercial purpose or (2) by a video provider licensed under the
+AT&T patents to provide MPEG-4 compliant video.</p>
+
+<p>No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4
+standard.</p>
+</blockquote>
-<p>Update 2010-06-29: Ross Reedstrom tipped us about the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gq.html">gq</a> package as a
-useful GUI alternative. It seem like a good tool, but is unmaintained
-in Debian and got a RC bug keeping it out of Squeeze. Unless that
-changes, it will not be an option for Debian Edu based on Squeeze.</p>
+<p>In short, the camera producer have chosen to use technology
+(MPEG-4/H.264) that is only provided if I used it for personal and
+non-commercial purposes, or ask for permission from the organisations
+holding the knowledge monopoly (patent) for technology used.</p>
+
+<p>This issue has been brewing for a while, and I recommend you to
+read
+"<a href="http://www.osnews.com/story/23236/Why_Our_Civilization_s_Video_Art_and_Culture_is_Threatened_by_the_MPEG-LA">Why

+"<a href="http://webmink.com/2010/09/03/h-264-and-foss/">H.264 Is Not
+The Sort Of Free That Matters</a>" by Simon Phipps to learn more about
+the issue. The solution is to support the
+<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and
+open standards</a> for video, like <a href="http://www.theora.org/">Ogg
+Theora</a>, and avoid MPEG-4 and H.264 if you can.</p>

-<p>A while back, I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Time_for_new__LDAP_schemas_replacing_RFC_2307_.html">complained
-about the fact</a> that it is not possible with the provided schemas
-for storing DNS and DHCP information in LDAP to combine the two sets
-of information into one LDAP object representing a computer.</p>
-
-<p>In the mean time, I discovered that a simple fix would be to make
-the dhcpHost object class auxiliary, to allow it to be combined with
-the dNSDomain object class, and thus forming one object for one
-computer when storing both DHCP and DNS information in LDAP.</p>
-
-<p>If I understand this correctly, it is not safe to do this change
-without also changing the assigned number for the object class, and I
-do not know enough about LDAP schema design to do that properly for
-Debian Edu.</p>
-
-<p>Anyway, for future reference, this is how I believe we could change
-the
-<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-ldap-schema-00">DHCP
-schema</a> to solve at least part of the problem with the LDAP schemas
-available today from IETF.</p>
-

-
-<p>I very much welcome clues on how to do this properly for Debian

-
-<p>If you want to help out with implementing this for Debian Edu,

+<p>Jeg ble riktig fascinert av
+<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3800967.ece">en
+artikkel i Aftenposten</a> om hvor hardt Navteq jobber for å oppdatere
+kartene som brukes i navigasjons-GPSer, der det blant annet heter at
+"på grunn av teknikken tar det alt fra tre til tolv måneder før
+kartene er oppdatert". Når en kjenner hva slags oppdateringshastighet
+som er tilgjengelig på
+<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetmap</a> som
+oppdateres på dugnad, blir det litt trist å se hva noe av det beste en
+kan kjøpe for penger får til.</p>
+
+<p>Fra en endrer kartdataene i databasen til OpenStreetmap tar det
+ca. 15 minutter før endringen er synlig på kartet som alle kan se på
+web. Dernest overføres det daglig til en kartdump som lastes ned av
+personen som lager Garmin-kart for Norge ca. en gang i uken. Med
+OpenStreetmap.org og <a href="http://www.frikart.no/">Frikart.no</a>
+kan en altså ha korreksjonene på plass i sin Garmin-GPS i løpet av en
+uke. Det er også av tekniske årsaker at det tar så langt tid.
+Jobbene som tegner kartene, henter ut kartdumpene og konverterer til
+Garmin-format tar minutter og timer å gjennomføre, slik at de ikke
+gjøres kontinuerlig men kun regelmessing.</p>

<description>
-<p>A few times I have had the need to simulate the way tasksel
-installs packages during the normal debian-installer run. Until now,
-I have ended up letting tasksel do the work, with the annoying problem
-of not getting any feedback at all when something fails (like a
-conffile question from dpkg or a download that fails), using code like
-this:
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
-tasksel --new-install
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-This would invoke tasksel, let its automatic task selection pick the
-tasks to install, and continue to install the requested tasks without
-any output what so ever.
-
-Recently I revisited this problem while working on the automatic
-package upgrade testing, because tasksel would some times hang without
-any useful feedback, and I want to see what is going on when it
-happen. Then it occured to me, I can parse the output from tasksel
-when asked to run in test mode, and use that aptitude command line
-printed by tasksel then to simulate the tasksel run. I ended up using
-code like this:
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
-cmd="$(in_target tasksel -t --new-install | sed 's/debconf-apt-progress -- //')"
-$cmd
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>The content of $cmd is typically something like "<tt>aptitude -q
---without-recommends -o APT::Install-Recommends=no -y install
-~t^desktop$ ~t^gnome-desktop$ ~t^laptop$ ~pstandard ~prequired
-~pimportant</tt>", which will install the gnome desktop task, the
-laptop task and all packages with priority standard , required and
-important, just like tasksel would have done it during
-installation.</p>
-
-<p>A better approach is probably to extend tasksel to be able to
-install packages without using debconf-apt-progress, for use cases
-like this.</p>
+<p>In the <a href="http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_vote">Debian
+popularity-contest numbers</a>, the adobe-flashplugin package the
+second most popular used package that is missing in Debian. The sixth
+most popular is flashplayer-mozilla. This is a clear indication that
+working flash is important for Debian users. Around 10 percent of the
+users submitting data to popcon.debian.org have this package
+installed.</p>
+
+<p>In the report written by Lars Risan in August 2008
+(«<a href="http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Dokumentasjon/Rapporter?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Skolelinux_i_bruk_rapport_1.0.pdf">Skolelinux
+i bruk – Rapport for Hurum kommune, Universitetet i Agder og
+stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs</a>»), one of the most important problems
+schools experienced with <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian
+Edu/Skolelinux</a> was the lack of working Flash. A lot of educational
+web sites require Flash to work, and lacking working Flash support in
+the web browser and the problems with installing it was perceived as a
+good reason to stay with Windows.</p>
+
+<p>I once saw a funny and sad comment in a web forum, where Linux was
+said to be the retarded cousin that did not really understand
+everything you told him but could work fairly well. This was a
+comment regarding the problems Linux have with proprietary formats and
+non-standard web pages, and is sad because it exposes a fairly common
+understanding of whose fault it is if web pages that only work in for
+example Internet Explorer 6 fail to work on Firefox, and funny because
+it explain very well how annoying it is for users when Linux
+distributions do not work with the documents they receive or the web
+pages they want to visit.</p>
+
+<p>This is part of the reason why I believe it is important for Debian
+and Debian Edu to have a well working Flash implementation in the
+distribution, to get at least popular sites as Youtube and Google
+Video to working out of the box. For Squeeze, Debian have the chance
+to include the latest version of Gnash that will make this happen, as
+the new release 0.8.8 was published a few weeks ago and is resting in
+unstable. The new version work with more sites that version 0.8.7.
+The Gnash maintainers have asked for a freeze exception, but the
+release team have not had time to reply to it yet. I hope they agree
+with me that Flash is important for the Debian desktop users, and thus
+accept the new package into Squeeze.</p>

<description>
-<p><a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2010/06/16/nyheter/innenriks/streik/arbeidsliv/12157858/">Dagbladet
-melder</a> at Vinmonopolet med bakgrunn i vekterstreiken som pågår i
-Norge for tiden, har bestemt seg for med vitende og vilje å bryte
-sentralbanklovens paragraf 14 ved å nekte folk å betale med
-kontanter, og at flere butikker planlegger å følge deres eksempel.
-Jeg synes det er hårreisende hvis de slipper unna med et slikt
-soleklart lovbrudd, og lurer på hva slags muligheter jeg vil ha hvis
-jeg blir nektet å handle med kontanter. Jeg handler i hovedsak med
-kontanter selv, da jeg anser det som en borgerrett å kunne handle
-anonymt uten at det blir registrert. For meg er det et angrep på mitt
-personvern å nekte å ta imot kontant betaling.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://www.lovdata.no/all/tl-19850524-028-003.html#14">Paragrafen
-i sentralbankloven</a> lyder:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>§ 14. Tvungent betalingsmiddel</p>
-
-<p>Bankens sedler og mynter er tvungent betalingsmiddel i Norge. Ingen
-er pliktig til i én betaling å ta imot mer enn femogtyve mynter av
-hver enhet.</p>
-
-<p>Sterkt skadde sedler og mynter er ikke tvungent
-betalingsmiddel. Banken gir nærmere forskrifter om erstatning for
-bortkomne, brente eller skadde sedler og mynter.</p>
-
-<p>Selv om en avtale inneholder klausul om betaling av en
-pengeforpliktelse i gullverdi, kan skyldneren frigjøre seg med tvungne
-betalingsmidler uten hensyn til denne klausul.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>Det er med bakgrunn i denne lovet ikke tillatt å nekte å ta imot
-kontakt betaling. Det er en lov jeg har sans for, og som jeg mener må
-håndheves strengt.</p>
+<p>This evening I made my first Perl GUI application. The last few
+days I have worked on a Perl module for controlling my recently
+aquired Spykee robots, and the module is now getting complete enought
+that it is possible to use it to control the robot driving at least.
+It was now time to figure out how to use it to create some GUI to
+allow me to drive the robot around. I picked PerlQt as I have had
+positive experiences with the Qt API before, and spent a few minutes
+browsing the web for examples. Using Qt Designer seemed like a short
+cut, so I ended up writing the perl GUI using Qt Designer and
+compiling it into a perl program using the puic program from
+libqt-perl. Nothing fancy yet, but it got buttons to connect and
+drive around.</p>
+
+<p>The perl module I have written provide a object oriented API for
+controlling the robot. Here is an small example on how to use it:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+use Spykee;
+Spykee::discover(sub {$robot{$_[0]} = $_[1]});
+my $host = (keys %robot)[0];
+my $spykee = Spykee->new();
+$spykee->contact($host, "admin", "admin");
+$spykee->left();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->right();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->forward();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->back();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->stop();
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>Thanks to the release of the source of the robot firmware, I could
+peek into the implementation at the other end to figure out how to
+implement the protocol used by the robot. I've implemented several of
+the commands the robot understand, but is still missing the camera
+support to make it possible to control the robot from remote. First I
+want to implement support for uploading new firmware and configuring
+the wireless network, to make it possible to bootstrap a Spykee robot
+without the producers Windows and MacOSX software (I only have Linux,
+so I had to ask a friend to come over to get the robot testing
+going. :).</p>
+
+<p>Will release the source to the public soon, but need to figure out
+where to make it available first. I will add a link to
+<a href="http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/">the NUUG wiki</a> for
+those that want to check back later to find it.</p>

-<p>For those of us caring about document exchange and
-interoperability, <a href="http://www.officeshots.org/">OfficeShots</a>
-is a great service. It is to ODF documents what
-<a href="http://browsershots.org/">BrowserShots</a> is for web
-pages.</p>
-
-<p>A while back, I was contacted by Knut Yrvin at the part of Nokia
-that used to be Trolltech, who wanted to help the OfficeShots project
-and wondered if the University of Oslo where I work would be
-interested in supporting the project. I helped him to navigate his
-request to the right people at work, and his request was answered with
-a spot in the machine room with power and network connected, and Knut
-arranged funding for a machine to fill the spot. The machine is
-administrated by the OfficeShots people, so I do not have daily
-contact with its progress, and thus from time to time check back to
-see how the project is doing.</p>
-
-<p>Today I had a look, and was happy to see that the Dell box in our
-machine room now is the host for several virtual machines running as
-OfficeShots factories, and the project is able to render ODF documents
-in 17 different document processing implementation on Linux and
-Windows. This is great.</p>
+<p>Ble tipset i dag om at et forslag om å stoppe forsøkene med
+elektronisk stemmegiving utenfor valglokaler er
+<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=46616">til

-<p>My
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Automatic_upgrade_testing_from_Lenny_to_Squeeze.html">testing
-of Debian upgrades</a> from Lenny to Squeeze continues, and I've
-finally made the upgrade logs available from
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-upgrade-testing/</a>.
-I am now testing dist-upgrade of Gnome and KDE in a chroot using both
-apt and aptitude, and found their differences interesting. This time
-I will only focus on their removal plans.</p>
+<p>Just got an email from Tobias Gruetzmacher as a followup on my
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Broken_umask_handling_with_sshfs.html">previous
+post about sshfs</a>. He reported another problem with sshfs. It
+fail to handle hard links properly. A simple way to spot this is to
+look at the . and .. entries in the directory tree. These should have
+a link count >1, but on sshfs the count is 1. I just tested to see
+what happen when trying to hardlink, and this fail as well:</p>
-<p>After installing a Gnome desktop and the laptop task, apt-get wants
-to remove 72 packages when dist-upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze. The
-surprising part is that it want to remove xorg and all
-xserver-xorg-video* drivers. Clearly not a good choice, but I am not
-sure why. When asking aptitude to do the same, it want to remove 129
-packages, but most of them are library packages I suspect are no
-longer needed. Both of them want to remove bluetooth packages, which
-I do not know. Perhaps these bluetooth packages are obsolete?</p>
-
-<p>For KDE, apt-get want to remove 82 packages, among them kdebase
-which seem like a bad idea and xorg the same way as with Gnome. Asking
-aptitude for the same, it wants to remove 192 packages, none which are
-too surprising.</p>
-
-<p>I guess the removal of xorg during upgrades should be investigated
-and avoided, and perhaps others as well. Here are the complete list
-of planned removals. The complete logs is available from the URL
-above. Note if you want to repeat these tests, that the upgrade test
-for kde+apt-get hung in the tasksel setup because of dpkg asking
-conffile questions. No idea why. I worked around it by using
-'<tt>echo >> /proc/<em>pidofdpkg</em>/fd/0</tt>' to tell dpkg to

+<p>I have not yet found time to implement a test for this in my file
+system test code, but believe having working hard links is useful to
+avoid surprised unix programs. Not as useful as working file locking
+and symlinks, which are required to get a working desktop, but useful
+nevertheless. :)</p>
+<p>The latest version of the file system test code is available via
+git from
+<a href="http://github.com/gebi/fs-test">http://github.com/gebi/fs-test</a></p>
