Inspired by the profiling work on Abiword by Hubert Figuiere, I installed Kcachegrind to try and profile mmsv2. His two posts on his blog explains very well how to find and fix bottlenecks in an application. What I thought was really cool about Kcachegrind, compared to other profiling solutions I have tried, was the way it handled threads and C++ perfectly. Guess being a KDE project helps a lot in this area 🙂

Linuxforum 2006
I will be going to linuxforum this year. Alan Cox will be there to speak together with one of the authors of VDR. Really looking forward to it. If anyone wants to meet up please let me know by email.
The people behind GoogleTalk has now allowed their servers to talk to other jabber server. This is great news and a big step forward for the open IM standard.

Lessig talk on Google books
Lawrence Lessig has released one of his recent talks on Google books and fair use for download. The synchronization between the audio and the video is great but I didn’t find the talk as effective in using the visuals as his other talks. But the problem addressed in the talk is interesting as always. Google books is actually a really nice tool to search for things in a book, I wish it had indexed more books.

PVR150 working!
Somehow I got my PVR150 working. I was looking into why it didn’t work, and loaded the modules as normal when I booted. Suddently all the channels worked. Strange, seems it just needed to be worn in? 😉

Got a Hauppauge PVR150
So I finally managed to get myself a tv-card so I will be adding support for that to mms in the near future. I have currently one problem with it though, it seems that the sound is not working on all channels 🙁

Merry Christmas
So what has been up since the last time I blogged? Oh yeah, my project group at the university won a prize in Venture cup (the project is Centiceps File System). We also finished the project for this semester. Sadly I won’t be able to put up the project report as usual since its confidential this time.

Email back online
Got my domain up again. The whole situation has several times reminded me of how bad their website/information-level is.

Domain suspended
Great! So I forgot to read the paper the domain dudes (dk-hostmaster) sendt me properly so my domain has now been suspended. This means that you can’t send mails to gnulinux.dk currently. I’m working on getting it back online ASAP.

mmsv2 has been featured in the german linux magazine linuxuser. This should fit right in with the 1.0.5 release within the next couple of days.
