Announcement

I would like to tell you few words about changes that this web-site is undergoing. I would like to make it less personal and more visitor oriented.

How to handle SIGSEGV, but also generate a core dump

Recently I ran into this problem. How do you capture SIGSEGV with a signal handler and still generate a core file?

So, once you got SIGSEGV, consider all that useful [...]

Vacation is over and its time to get busy again

Where the hell am I?

It is important to promote it as well. So I thought if I put so much time into writing stuff, why not spend couple of minutes making [...]

Wow! My tcpdump for Dummies is on the front page of delicious.com

Copyright infringement tale continued

This post concludes this story – some gentleman decided that he can make money by publishing my content. Yesterday, something like a couple of weeks since I filed DMCA complaint against this guy, I received an email from blogspot’s tech support stating that all posts infringing my copyrights are gone. I want to thank blogspot [...]

WordPress plugins

At the moment I use something like three different statistic plug-ins, a plug-in that filters out spam comments, SEO plug-in, smileys plug-in. The quick links menu on your [...]
