Tomorrow to FOSDEM 07 /me goes, along with hansmi, KillerFox and blubb from the swiss crowd!
Later on both flo and EleRas will join us too, so for me not only will it be "the great Gentoo dev gathering", but also "the great SysCP dev gathering", will all three of us present. As flo correctly guessed, I'll be sporting the black Gentoo t-shirt, which is amazingly comfortable, but flo's SysCP t-shirt intrigues me... Is it possible to have more of those @ flo? In black? /me loves black! We'll be able to discuss that at FOSDEM I suppose...
Now off to bed, as I have to get up early (~4AM) to catch the first train to get to Basel, where the others await, and from there off to Bruxelles. Lugano-Basel-Frankfurt Am Main-Köln-Bruxelles is the exact route, almost 1000 Km, for a total en-route time of about 11 hours, yay!

On the PHP front, I've finally put PHP 5.2.1 and PHP 4.4.5, with all the needed patches and, of course, Suhosin support, into the PHP Overlay. I'll test it all during the next days and hopefully commit to the tree on Monday at the latest. Many bugs are fixed with the latest releases, concurrentmodphp support was greatly improved and fixed (especially wrt 64bit arches), and the new MySQL extension patches are included to have the connection charset configurable per-SAPI, for each PHP version, using php.ini, instead of my.cnf.

Work on VCD is also going steady, we should be near feature-completion soon, so expect some form of pre-release in the next two weeks... Poke Hollow on #gentoo-vserver for more info.

Happy new year people!!! ;)

I wish you all a great 2007 full of fun and happiness and all the other good stuff (new hardware comes to mind).
23C3 finished two days ago, it was really great fun with great talks and great people (yeah, Polish guy living in the USA, from the university near Atlanta, you know who you are ;) ).
Now we've passed yesterday by visiting Berlin and at the moment we're connected through the Hostel's connection... It's depressing to know it's at least twice as fast as my home DSL.
By the way, all this convinced me to come to FOSDEM 07, so be prepared to know chtekk (or be scared, that depends).

Yo! Greetings from the 23C3, the Chaos Computer Congress in Berlin.

Great talks and great people here, at the moment I'm attending a talk about JSON RPC (who knows, maybe that can/will be used someday to improve SysCP), and before that I attended a really great talk about backbone hacking. As you can see from this blog post, the wireless network works well (as does the wired one). :)

With regards to Gentoo devs, I've already seen and got to know hansmi, KillerFox and Pylon. I've also been told that mabi is around and hanno should be too (at least based on the fact he gave a Lightning Talk about XGL yesterday, which I sadly missed), we should really define a place to meet and get to know eachother... That goes for Gentoo and SysCP users too.
I myself can usually be found attending some talk or down in the Hackcenter (central position, at a round table). Have fun!

I'll be away from this evening UTC until evening UTC 03.11.2006, so don't search for me or await any reply from me. Absolutely no internet access, so... See ya all in a week! :)

Happy New Year to everyone! :)

This sure was an interesting year for me, with many unexpected turns, but all that definitely went well and were liked on my part! ;)
I hope for another great year with all of you and with Gentoo.
Again, I wish a great 2006 to all of you!

P.S.: I hope to be able to add PHP 5.1.1 to the Portage tree during the next week, just waiting on bug 116975 to be fixed.

dev-lang/php was again updated in the PHP Overlay, fixing a bug with Apache1+fastbuild and the uClibc support for PHP4. Also, PHP 5.1.0_rc4 was added to the overlay, be sure to test it and your code, the final should be here soon (1-2 weeks) and will then be added to Portage.
Also, the old-style PHP packages (dev-php/{php,php-cgi,mod_php}) were updated to fix some bugs, as was the old php-sapi.eclass, tomorrow I'll update all the new-style PHP packages and eclasses to be in sync with the overlay, that will be fun! :)

Gentoo-SysCP is making progress, a draft readme was written today and I have some more ideas to implement before I make any more informations public, but an experimental (but working!) ebuild should be ready soon.

On a sidenote, I now finally have a week holidays from school, wich means I can work even more on Gentoo and enjoy myself during the day, as opposed to sitting in classes. Holidays are always fun! ;)

Well hi! :)

I've just set up this blog now on chtekk.longitekk.com, a server much faster than the old chtekk.homelinux.net (wich now anyway redirects you here), and hope it will be added to the Gentoo blog aggregator soon.

Yup, I'm officially a Gentoo Dev now, with a chtekk@gentoo.org email address et all, I must say this makes me really happy, and I hope to be able to contribute to Gentoo a lot, working mainly on PHP (especially the new dev-lang/php & co. packages) and also on Apache and Web-Apps.

I usually hang out in #gentoo-apache on irc.freenode.net, so that's where you can reach me most of the time, or via email. Well, I'll close this "intro" blog post now, stay tuned for more exciting news! ;)
