Yeah, you read correctly. As of right now, this website can be reached via heipei.net again. For those of you who haven’t been reading this weblog 2 years ago: The domain heipei.net was snatched from me in September ’06.

Debugging programs for yourself (or from bug-reports from other people) requires knowing which version caused the bug. Of course most people think in terms of major releases, but a developer needs to know the exact revision, as this might make the crucial difference. UNIX command-line programs usually offer a –version switch, which returns detailed version [...]
When I was younger I hated the summer (or let’s say I preferred winter). That was because in winter you had a reasonable explanation why you would sit in front of your PC all day long instead of going outside to play with the other kids or generally to “get some fresh air”. Now that [...]
Yesterday I went to the movies to watch the new Bond (Quantum of Solace). I’m an avid Bond-fan, having seen every Bond movie up to date (I think) and regularly watching re-runs on TV. I was already skeptical after the last Bond movie (Casino Royale) but figured it was a one-time deviation from the usual [...]

Hi my few select readers, in case you’ve been wondering: I’m on vacation. For those of you I forgot, the URL for my holiday-blog is hackvalue.de/heipei/holiday. Point your RSS-readers at it and have fun (also make sure to check my flickr-account from time to time ;).
After searching (and finding no existing solution), I created a small JavaScript-based commit-badge/banner which you can show of on your website to point at the latest (or a specific) commit in a Github-repo. This is what it looks like (if you see blank space here or something fubar please reload the page and after that [...]
mutt 1.5.18 works fine with Cygwin (as I just discovered). Building it from source I used ./configure –prefix=$HOME/local/stow/mutt –enable-imap –with-homespool –with-ssl=/usr –enable-hcache –enable-locales-fix This is assuming you installed the openssl-libs and openssl-devel packages (those can be installed using Cygwins own installer .exe). For header-caching (you really want it when using IMAP) you’re also gonna need [...]
Was ist eine Streulichtblende? Eine Streulichtblende sieht so aus (Foto von fensterbme), man kennt den Anblick von jedem Profi-Fotografen. Also eine Blende die man vorne auf sein Objektiv steckt.
