Tagging

I've installed the tags plugin for PyBlosxom, and have started adding tags to my posts. I'm also considering adding them to my photo pages, but I'll have to come up with a sane way of doing this first. Currently I'm thinking of doing it with <dc:subject> tags in the XMP metadata, where I'm already storing license information and some "coverage"-info (thanks to the brilliant ExifTool) anyway.

Ekiga and XS4ALL VOIP

Loe, it's easy to set up Ekiga to work with your XS4ALL VOIP account: just make sure that traffic to the SIP port (5060) is being forwarded to the right computer on your network (if you're using NAT), and configure Ekiga as follows (the greyed out parts are my XS4ALL phone number):

My First Programs

When I was at my parents' place this weekend, I found a big stack of old 5.25" floppy disks. Browsing through them a bit, I found a disk with my very first GWBASIC programs on it.

Now I had one problem: I didn't have a 5.25" floppy drive. Luckily, my dad likes to collect lots of old stuff and he had a non-booting IBM Portable PC (with a 5.25" drive!) lying around. So after an afternoon of unscrewing parts that were never meant to be unscrewed (especially not after 20 years), I went home with a floppy drive.

Back home I tried to connect the drive to one of my PCs. This can be hard, especially if you're using the wrong cables. After a day of switching cables and jumpers (the floppy drive is so old that it has DS0-DS4 jumpers!) my PC finally booted again (picky Compaq BIOS, sigh).

So now I have a disk image of my very first programs (1990-1994), and separate copies of the .BAS files (most of them converted to ASCII), but I'm wondering about the best way to put them online. In the original tree? A zip-file with the original directory tree? And how about the 'non-free' parts? (some of those very first programs I made just called external programs, made by other people)
