I’ve updated the look of this site. Unfortunately for Microsoft Internet Explorer users, I couldn’t get the new look to work in that browser. Its CSS support is just too limited.
When toying around with mplayer and my Hauppauge PVR350, I got the following error when trying to play something:
[pvr] failed with errno 22 when reading 2048 bytes [pvr] read 0 bytes The error kept repeating.

I’ve got a Logitech MX610 cordless laser mouse. One of its nicer features is a tilt wheel. Unfortunately, this is still difficult to get working in Ubuntu Linux. The problems:
I’m the happy owner of a Motorola Razr V3. Its battery used to last quite long, but now that it’s getting older it’s drained very quickly. At some point, I could charge it at night, talk a few minutes during the day, and when I got home in the evening the battery would be empty.
There was a spectacular opening of the Uitmarkt in Amsterdam. Of all the photos I shot that evening, I’ve uploaded the best 11. Take a look at Uitmarkt 2007 - a photoset on Flickr.

UPDATE 2019: The articles below have been taken offline.
The articles below are about Java, but I think they apply equally well to other languages that have exception handling. It would be nice if more were to read those articles.

It’s already in the VIM help file, but I never found it until now. To highlight the current row/line and the current column use this in your .vimrc:
au WinLeave * set nocursorline nocursorcolumn au WinEnter * set cursorline cursorcolumn set cursorline cursorcolumn I found this quite useful while programming.

I own an iriver U10. It’s a great device, that can play music and video. However, for some reason, none of the tutorials about encoding video for the iriver U10 worked.

It’s trivially easy to copy a SQLite database. It’s less trivial to do this in a way that won’t corrupt it. Here’s how:
$ sqlite3 some.db sqlite> begin immediate; <press CTRL+Z> $ cp some.

The Stuvel.eu website has moved from a 1 Mbit ADSL connection to a real server on a proper 100 Mbit link. If you read this message, the DNS entries have been updated and you’re looking at the new server.
