I regularly use a screen that my fedora install doesn’t recognize. I mean, it can’t find the right resolution. And that’s annoying. Luckily there is xrandr to solve such problems. But always using 4 commands is rather annoying, so I made a small script for it. #!/bin/bash CVT=$(cvt $1 $2) if [ -n "$3" ] then DISPLAYNR=$3 else DISPLAYNR=”VGA1″ fi [...]
Fosdem 2012 is coming near, in a big month probably the biggest open source event in Europe will start again! And as always, Fedora people will visit fosdem with great quantities. So I’m putting a lot of effort in making this the best Fosdem for Fedora people ever. I hear you thinking, how can this event become even better? Well, [...]
Feedback is the breakfast of a champion. Do you what a kitten needs to catch a mouse? Cheese? I hear you thinking. No, the cat has to be hungry. She needs the will to win. Sometimes the cat will win. And get a delicious meal. Sometimes she will loose. But does she gives up? I hope not, she would die [...]
If you follow me on twitter, you probably already knew I was in Italy last weekend. Milan to be exact. I think this was my first FUDcon where I didn’t give a talk – hacksession myself.

The first planning has started. What started as an idea from some people, became a project on Saturday evening, during Whitespace’s newline event. Let’s make a space for Kortrijk! I really think Kortrijk needs a space. It’s a city where a lot of technology companies can be found, where a lot of young people are (also known as students) and [...]
Friday evening I went to my favourite hackerspace (for now anyway ) to celebrate the fact that we now exist for one year. The attendees were mostly members and some members from the other spaces in Belgium. Mostly. I met up with a British guy <need to insert name here> and went for some real french (Belgian) fries. Due to [...]
In exact 2 months LOADays 2011 [1] will start. It looks like it will be a great event again, just like last year. Or cfp is still open (for one more month), so don’t forget to send in your talks [2]. We already have some nice proposals for talks and tutorials in. So I don’t think visitors from outside the [...]
