Kristian Paul's Blog

After performance and data loss issues with the old blog engine based on mysql

We migrated to this new one, (with no database).

hope it will be the last, to soon i'll post new entries and documents

Server speep up is done, follow the link below

May be this is not a VPS, but 90Mb of memory seems to be not enough some days before.

Wih the last changes, the server is running swap free again and hope soon new low-mem apps could be run

Reference: Yes you can on 64 Mb

I decided to document some improvements i did to the streambox/alix from the locusonus project

Streambox Hacks

Long time since last blog entry and lots of things happened, well.., i did some quick posts on the microblog but is not same as a blog entry, so here a small resume, and hopefully i'll try not get behind in the remaining of the year and also the incoming one :)
RepRap Mendel is done:


And a talk was given at Campus Party Colombia about it. Also later in Bogota the same talk was given at Maloka and weeks later in the Sofware Freedom day in Barranquilla.

I met Wolfgang Spraul Cparty too, place in wich he give two interesting talks about the Milkymist project and Copyleft Hardware Movement. great man he is !

I got 23 year old in Sep :p

I was too at in really amazing event near to my town, it was about the importance of the organic Seeds and sharing knowldge of our Peasant in Colombia. I must recall that even more now that our times face issues with this "Genetically modified organism"in wich seeds are in that way, and is a DANGER for our food autonomy and Ecosystem diversity let the corporations to take control of life. Also if i want practice permaculture in the long term i need organic Seeds and no faked ones that market starting to sell.

About hardware development i started some weeks ago a project about creating a gps free stack, i have not much to tell now, hope more soon.

I forgot to say i got an AVNET 49usd board, (the cheapest i founded) to start some learning about the Milkymsit platform, right now i'm working in a "How to", wich is based on how to add a counter module to the SoC, more updates will come soon too.



My last event, was in Pereira a City 2hrs away from home, the event name is JSL (Jornadas de Sofware Libre), wich its mission is have a space of work, discuss and link long works and ideas about long term work around Free Sofware dynamics in different fields.

I also i'm fixing my makerbot cupcake cnc printer, i bought an automatic build platform wich i hope will help me to produce reprap plastic parts kit to sell people interested (wich already contactc me asking me for parts).

Ah, i almost forgot i got a new server is an Soerkis 5501 board plus case (it was given as payment of an old debt), i hope host more stuff soon like database, blogs for friends and who know what else :D



Well i think thats all for now.
