New Debian Etch Repository
The Debian repository for ValueKonverter and libdisasm is back online. However, it’s Etch only. If anybody wants support for Sarge drop me a note and I’ll see what I can do. Point your /etc/apt/sources.list to:
deb http://dobbertin.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~malb/debian/etch ./
deb-src http://dobbertin.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~malb/debian/etch ./
.
During this update I also updated libdisam to the most recent upstream release and thus the register-access-not-shown-correctly-bug is gone. Also I updated ValueKonverter to 0.1.4: I made some tiny changes so it compiles with GCC 4.1 and copied the admin subdirectory from the kile-1.9.2 deb package so that ValueKonverter builds with autoconf 2.6 as the admin.tar.gz templates of Kdevelop as shipped with Debian Etch didn’t work.
Blog Spam again
I’m still struggling with blog spam as I’m to pride to use some blog provider to host my blog and I’m to lazy to install or write some decent captcha.
Right now, I use some pretty simple blacklist of words which are not allowed in comments. Thus, your desires to tell me about the newest advancements in meds and sex are either doomed or I missed that word you used in the blacklist. If you get a message that there was some problem with your comment then it probably contains some word from the blacklist.
You can alternatively reach me by putting the domain of this host and the username I have on this host together to some decent e-mail address.
SAGE Days 2
are coming up and I’m going to be there. I’ll give a talk on Gröbner bases in SAGE and two smaller, informal talks: One on Pyrex and one on Algebraic Attacks on Block Ciphers. Spoiler-warning: These links point to my beta or alpha quality slides.
Speaking of slides: I adapted the nice Oxygen Beamer theme to sport some SAGE references:
