This post concludes this story - some gentleman decided that he can make money by publishing my content.

Yesterday, something like a couple of weeks since I filed DMCA complaint against this guy, I received an email from blogspot’s tech support stating that all posts infringing my copyrights are gone.

I want to thank blogspot for taking care about this.

This article describes the difference between the two. Does getting 64-bit support really worth the time and the effort and perhaps the the money? Find out here.

Few years ago I’ve written a script for IDA - Interactive Disassembler. IDA is a great tool I’ve been using for many years to analyze executable files. You can find more information about it here.

The script fixes how IDA analyzes executables produces with cygwin gcc. IDA does not show all symbol names properly. The script fixes this.

Finally, I decided that the script deserves a page of it’s own. Perhaps I will add more scripts to this page in the future, but for now it is the only habitant of this page.

Anyway, hope you will find it useful. The page is right here.

This article describes how lack of swap partition affects behavior of your Linux system. It is right here.

One of the things I like in wordpress is plug-ins thing. There are literally thousands of plug-ins for wordpress and you just peek things that you need.

At the moment I use something like three different statistic plug-ins, a plug-in that filters out spam comments, SEO plug-in, smileys plug-in. The quick links menu on your right created using NAVT plug-in.

I myself have written a couple of plug-ins - for instance, table of contents that you can find on almost any of my articles automatically generated by the smart-toc plug-in, which I am going to publish soon

Yet there’s something that frightens me a bit. I am now using over 15 different plug-ins. Almost all of them do something, each increasing size of the PHP code that being executed every time someone accesses my web-site. I do use a plug-in that caches (how convenient ) PHP generated HTML and serves it instead of running PHP code for each client. Despite that number of plug-ins I am using is overwhelming and I am wondering whether this is going to boomerang me one day

Just finished adopting a new theme to my web-site. Hope you like it.

Adaptation took quiet some time. You know… There are those small things that perhaps no one else sees, but you. But once you see the web-site you just can skip them. So I had to fix quiet a few things.

I would like to thank developers of the StudioPress wordpress theme for doing such a great work. Theme I use, although modified, shares its roots with this wonderful theme.

In case you wonder, in this theme, there’s a place for little picture of me - quiet remarkable addition Also, it has more space for ads. Sorry, but I had to have them. At the moment this web-site doesn’t pay-off very well and I hope to improve this state of affairs. And I think the most distinguishable diffirenece is in it’s colorfulness. It is very colorful. Again, I hope you will like it.

I have finished writing a new article. This article gives solutions to common problems that one may encounter when booting Linux. From faulty service scripts to corrupted initrd, it’s all there.

You can find the article here.

Few days ago I’ve found a blogspot user that consistently copies my articles, without asking my permission and without keeping original copyright notice intact. I asked that user to include original copyright notice, but the person chose to ignore my requests. Therefore, I am in process of filing DMCA complaint to google. Sad

This article describes sed, an excellent tool that I often use in shell scripts that I write. In the article I explain it’s most common features and also show some often overlooked features. You can find it here. Enjoy it!
