			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago I did an interesting discovery about using my cellphone to go on the internet via bluetooth. I had this strange situation before where it just stopped working, and after revisiting all configs it worked again.</p>
<p>What really happens is that my cellphone somehow crashes, after which I power cycle it by removing the batteries. The phone then boots again, but here is the twist: the service channels in the phone are re-allocated and apparently in a random order!</p>
<p>This implies that the RFCOMM channel configured in the <em>/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf</em> file is possible wrong now!</p>
<p>Solution: just browse the services again with <em>sdptool browse</em>, adapt the file and it should work again!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Linux serial ports only work at standard speeds by default. MIDI runs at 31250 baud, which is not a standard speed. However there are tricks to get custom speeds, but documentation is quite fuzzy. This is a simple recipe that worked for me with an FT232 USB-Serial board.
Check the baud base of the device:
$ setserial <a href="http://joost.damad.be/2009/05/how-to-set-a-serial-port-at-midi-speed-in-linux/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Linux serial ports only work at standard speeds by default. MIDI runs at 31250 baud, which is not a standard speed. However there are tricks to get custom speeds, but documentation is quite fuzzy. This is a simple recipe that worked for me with an FT232 USB-Serial board.</p>
<p>Check the baud base of the device:</p>
<p>$ setserial -g -a /dev/ttyUSB0<br />/dev/ttyUSB0, Line 0, UART: unknown, Port: 0&#215;0000, IRQ: 0<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Baud_base: 24000000, close_delay: 0, divisor: 0<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; closing_wait: infinite<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Flags: spd_normal low_latency</p>
<p>As you can see the baud base is 24000000 here.<br />Next calculate the divisor by dividing the baud_base you see here by the speed you want.<br />In my case 24000000/31250=768.</p>
<p>Apply the new setting:</p>
<p>$ setserial -v /dev/ttyUSB0 spd_cust divisor 768</p>
<p>Next start your serial application, you might want to make sure it is already set to the correct speed before you do the above changes else it might destroy your settings. The correct speed is 38400 baud, which is now aliased to 31250.</p>
<p>With minicom just use the menu (CTRL-A Z) to change the settings.</p>
<p>Screen can be used like this:</p>
<p>screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400</p>
<p>Exit screen by pressing CTRL-A CTRL-\</p>
<p>Sweet.</p>

<p>Turns out that only IPv6 enabled applications suffer.</p>
<p>Apparently libc now fires both an IPv4 and IPv6 DNS resolving request in parallel. It looks like some DNS servers don&#8217;t handle that correctly and answer an error on the IPv6 request before the IPv4 request even has time to resolve further in the internet.</p>
<p>In my case it was my local NSLU2 running Debian lenny causing the trouble, more specific the maradns local DNS server and DNS proxy running on it.</p>
<p>I manually upgraded maradns to the latest version (&gt; 1.3.10) and things are &#8220;back&#8221; to normal.</p>
<p>Another solution is to disable IPv6 systemwide but I prefer not to do that as I use IPv6 occationally for testing.</p>
<p>I fear that this will cause more trouble for alot of people with routers doing DNS proxying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new version of openMSX has been released!</p>
<p>Important new feature is save-states. This gave me the means to finally finish the very first game I bought as a kid: Konami&#8217;s Nemesis 2 for the MSX computer.</p>
<p>In these times games were usually hard. Nemesis 2 is even harder.&nbsp; The only way to play it without save-states is not dying all 15 levels. Given that Nemesis 2 is a shooter this is VERY hard <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><br />

<p>Each one of those red bullets and grey stones is fatal <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But save-states wasn&#8217;t enough. I also enabled &#8220;old-people&#8221; mode, meaning running the emulator at 75% speed of the original MSX computer.</p>
<p>After more then an hour of hard labour playing using alot of save-states I finally managed to finish the game.</p>
<p>Only 22 years late <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>P.S.: I checked with my MSX friends and no-one was able to finish this game without some form of cheating&#8230;. </p>

<p>Luckily I still have a spare power brick of my old Dell precision M65: a 90 Watt&nbsp; PA-10 family power brick. It has exactly the same voltage (19.5 Volt) so I decided to try it.<br />I&#8217;ve been using it now for a few days when at customer sites and it works fine.</p>

<p>These are my 5 daily checkpoints:</p>
<ol>
<li>&nbsp;smoothie for breakfast</p>
<p>This is something which we (me and my wife) do already anyway, have a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast. Currently our favorite mix is 4 blood oranges, freshly pealed and parted, a seep of&nbsp; Sea-buckthorn elixir, and a couple of frozen strawberries (or cranberries). Mix all in the blender, long enough to don&#8217;t have any parts left. It is extremely tasty, and gives a serious vitamin boost for the winter. The idea is to have it for breakfast and then don&#8217;t drink or eat anything else for at least 1.5 hours, to make sure it&#8217;s (almost) fully digested.</p>
</li>
<li>&lt; 4 coffee
<p>This is a hard one; people who know me will know I&#8217;m a serious coffee lover. I have a special espresso machine, and typically serve single origin or special blend coffees. It&#8217;s hard to resist <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
</li>
<li>exercise
<p>Just a walk with the dogs already counts.</p>
</li>
<li>no sugar
<p>This is usually not so hard for me, as I&#8217;m not into sweets anyway.</p>
</li>
<li>no alcohol
<p>This is tougher. I&#8217;ll have to stick to coffee, tea and fruit juices.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is all as much a physical as a mental exercice <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twee maanden geleden zat er een briefje in de brievenbus, met uitleg over het nieuwe afval system, DIFTAR, en een&nbsp; formulier dat ik ingevuld moest ophangen aan de brievenbus, om te kiezen welke afval bakken ik wil hebben. Nu doen we zelf aan compostering en de rest wordt door de kippen&nbsp; verwerkt, dus een groene bak heb ik niet nodig. Formulier ingevuld, klaar.</p>
<p>Niet dus.</p>
<p>Een paar weken later staan er twee bakken aan mijn huis, een groene en een grijze. Ikke gebeld, uitgelegd dat ik die groene niet nodig heb, en er ook niet voor zoek te betalen. Geen probleem, men ging een afspraak maken om die komen halen. </p>
<p>Niet dus.</p>
<p>Gisteren een rekening gekregen voor de twee bakken&#8230;. zal toch nog maar eens bellen&#8230;</p>
<p>Los van al die opstart perikelen blijf ik het een zeer slecht systeem vinden.</p>
<p>Uitgangspunt is als ik het goed begrijp mensen laten betalen voor de hoeveelheid afval die ze produceren, om zo aan te moedigen van minder afval te produceren.</p>
<p>Probleem is dat mensen met veel geld het niet voelen, voor hen maakt het geen verschil, dus die hebben geen reden. Mensen met weinig geld daar en tegen, en zeker de oudere generatie vinden dat ze ineens veel geld moeten betalen voor hun afval.</p>
<p>Ik ben er zeker van dat dit alleen maar sluikstorten en stoken in de hand werkt. Op een mistige of regenachtige dag als vandaag ruik je soms gewoon de geur van verbrand plastic.<br />Proberen aan die mensen uit te leggen dat dit slecht is is praten tegen een muur&#8230;</p>
<p>Volgens mij is de enige juiste oplossing de ophaling van restafval volledig gratis maken.<br />Nu bestaat &#8220;gratis&#8221; uiteraard niet, en betalen u en ik er dan evengoed voor, maar via indirecte belastingen. Volgens mij is dit psychologisch gezien een veel betere aanpak.</p>
<p>Wat dan met al die verpakkingsafval problemen&#8230; Ook hier kan volgens mij alleen een tax op de verpakking bij aankoop maar werken.&nbsp; Een product met minder of biodegradeerbare verpakking zou op die manier een prijs voordeel kunnen krijgen.</p>

<p>The keyboard comes with a bluetooth dongle, but it&#8217;s rather silly not to use the bluetooth build in my laptop, so i never tried the dongle.</p>
<p>I was running linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 on my laptop and it had serieus issues with bluetooth. It was very hard to get the device to pair, it imvolved alot of manual probing/forcing.</p>
<p>This morning I upgraded kernel to 2.6.27.7 from kernel.org and it all started working flawlessly&#8230;</p>
<p>P.S.: might be fun to see if I can find a way to have it&#8217;s LCD display work in Linux <img src='http://joost.damad.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
