Version 2010-01 of the LDraw parts library was released recently, so I created a new easy-to-install Slackware package for it.

Both packages can be downloaded from my site.
Last week RRDtool 1.4.3 was released. It solves several minor bugs in the previous 1.4.2 version and adds a few new options. See here for the updated change log.

There are actually several solutions for this, like DynDNS, where you can register a [...]
I built a new package with LDraw_data for Slackware, containing the latest (200903) library from ldraw.org. Check my site for the pre-built while the SlackBuild is in pending.
I never wanted to start a blog, for several reasons, but mainly because:
I do not have the time to write regular posts
