I eye eye!

The usual story: I bought a piece of new hardware lacking linux support and quickly hacked together a small daemon to make it work the way I want.

Now if you have your pet linux server at home and want it to accept photographs from the Eye-Fi card, you can try iii.

Twice as opkele!

What a day for the release of the brand new opkele 2.0 with OpenID 2.0 support! It's been in production for ages now.

And, BTW, the fireflix compatibility update for firefox 3.0 is already in addons.mozilla.org sandbox. I'll try to get the local download up'n'running soon.

I'm only sleeping!

I haven't had a watch that I could connect to a computer for quite a while. Now I decided to treat myself and got a Sleeptracker® PRO watch. Having a linux software felt kind of natural to me, so I quickly hacked one together. You can track your sleep too, if you want to. Welcome napkin!

And while I'm at it, happy birthday, AK!

Flickin' around

I wanted flickr to be convenient. I searched and I came to conclusion that I am in need of new flickr firefox extension, so I wrote one. Well, it isn't even half finished, but since it seems to already do more than similar products, I think it maybe time to release it.

Let the music play!

You can play music yourself or make computer do it for you. It's up to you to choose, but in the latter case you may want to do some manipulation with MIDI files. That's what we're here for, midillo!

Hacky Birthday, me!

I've been observing this phenomenon for quite a long time now and I am quite certain that once in a while I have a birthday. And it looks like this is one of these days. To make it different, I decided to please myself and whoever else will be pleased by the new PumpKIN release. It still supports TFTP, no worries. Read the news and enjoy your download!

Uninstall me!

Thanks to the TUCOWS reject team, we've improved install engine for all of our windows applications so that they uninstall perfectly well on Windows XP.

Which also means that small changes accumulating in the source code are now released to the public.

And while we're at it, we're pleased to notice that 'TFTP Pumpkin' search string went so high in statistics that our "competitors" (not that we compete with anyone), whose ads you're likely to see on the page right now, are buying these keywords for contextual advertising and on the pages with 'ad links' units (not ours) you can see 'TFTP Pumpkin' links. I hope it serves them right.

Hop, hop, hop, hop!

Another quick little kinlet goes online. Libopkele is a c++ implementation of the OpenID decentralized authentication system.

I couldn't resist the temptation of being able to preserve my identity without messing with authorities.

Spil Balalaika!

Here comes the SpiliKIN project — a kin project to our KIN project!

Have fun with good old paper and pencil arithmetics!

The engine behind this website becomes KIN itself.

More KINs join the family. Meet the site-C-ing, c++ centered web development engine and two companion libraries: KinGate, the CGI support library, and Konforka, the convenience library for some code, common to our KIN projects.

Reaping the fruit of unemployment.

I don't think I would ever get time to make this code public if I didn't move and lose my job. Now that I can't, why should I prevent others from reaping the fruit of my labor.

Most of the content is taken from the old site for KIN project and the technical documentation part could be more complete. Hopefully, I'll have time for updates even if I get a job — I do have more kins in my vault yet to be published.

Now the KIN project goes live and open, open and live. Rejoice at the damn glad tidings!

Love,
H
