A scandal has been brewing in Latvia over the last half year and yesterday the activity spiked shocking the media and some IT people in the country. I’ll go back and explain what happened first, what is happening now and why this could have a heavy impact on IT and journalists in Latvia. At the [...]
Occasionally I post (or could post) things that are not fit for Debian Planet (non-English) or Ubuntu.lv Planet (unrelated to Latvian or Debian/Ubuntu matters), so I finally budged and switch the planet feeds to their own categories so that such things can be managed on a per-post basis. Anyone know a WordPress plugin that would [...]
My blog server has been down ever since I left off to Edinburgh for the 7th Debian conference. Since then I have been busy taking photos of everything and everyone here AND I am not alone in that. Enjoy!
It is really a must have – my blog gets mentioned on the DWN for the first time and at the same time (or even a bit earlier) the electricity cuts to the building where my server is co-located. And it takes a couple of days for the local administrator to get from all that [...]
From the previous version of my last post, people with even moderate knowledge of English could have easily understood that I suck at spelling and that, consequently, I did not have a spelling checker installed at this blog.

Those were files modified after a specific time yesterday, but the effect was only local to /var directory [...]
Just a day after I announced my new blog, the server hosting it went off-line. The funny thing is – it was because of an upgrade. As it turns out after I updated Debian sid on the server, a new version of udev was installed. A version that did not work anymore with kernels << [...]

Hello again dear Debian Planet! I have a surprise for you. While you were not watching I made myself a brand new shining blog using the fine Mnemosyne software. It is a blog written in Python that uses Kid templates and a lot of wonderful pythonic magic (for uninitiated) that generates a set of XML [...]

This particular post is being written from GMail, transfered to my blog server by email, processed by some massage scripts and then integrated into my blog without me doing much about it. Neat ne? Pārbāūdīšu arī rāķštīšāņū Latviešu valodā. Убедитесь в том, что вы готовы встретиться с любой проблемой, возможной в этой ситуации. 日本 This [...]
