I'm a self taught software developer, system administrator and all-round code-guy.

I've been doing software development, QA, developer support and system and even some graphic design work for as long as I can remember (going back 20 years or so, I think), both on commercial projects as well as open source and free software, and I enjoy both.

Coding is fun, that's why it is worth doing - I hope it never becomes a chore :-)

1d	comment	Do I need to have 'antivirus software' installed? @Piskvor: 2) another caveat to my comment above - lately people have started discussing user-installed apps - such as Ubuntu's new "click packages". These are very susceptible to viruses, and its the major reason why I think this approach is problematic.
1d	comment	Do I need to have 'antivirus software' installed? @Piskvor: 1) even if this is the case, the attack is against users who run windows binaries using wine (same for locally installed wine programs, which are usually in the user's home) and at most can target other windows binaries - and not system software, so it can't affect other users. I'll add the caveat in addition to my comment above - if you use a lot of wine apps and worry about viruses destroying your wine bottles, then you should also use a wine-based anti-virus. This is a very exotic setup. Most people just destroy their wine bottles in such cases.
Apr 22	comment	btrfs: not enough free disk space, but device not fully used @TerryWang: 1st+2nd: you can see the output of `btrfs fi df` in the question. Also, the filesystem in question has no snapshots.

Dec 21	comment	On a brandless RF remote, many buttons do not work with XBMC The remote featured in this question broke after less then a year of use and I no longer have it with me, so I can't check and accept any answers you guys might have.

Dec 18	revised	On a brandless RF remote, many buttons do not work with XBMC removed the "LIRC" comment from the title and tags as this issue is not about LIRC and people keep getting confused. Also clarified this in the question itself.
Dec 18	comment	On a brandless RF remote, many buttons do not work with XBMC Thanks for trying - but this is even more completely not what I need (than the previous answer) - I have a non-IR remote which already has a USB dongle, so I don't need a new dongle and even if I got it I have no remote to connect to it.

Dec 16	comment	How to get OpenSSH to use ksshaskpass under KDE? I didn't get an answer of the type that I wanted, but as no other answer appears to be forthcoming and this workaround appears to work very nicely for my needs - I'll accept it. Thanks @enzotib
Dec 5	comment	How to convert a btrfs file system in raid1 mode to raid0? I see - so you say that the file system uses RAID 0 and has no redundancy for the data. So why does `df` looks like this: `Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on` `/dev/sda3 443G 52G 240G 18% /` ?? As you can see, only 240G are available from a 443G volume even though only 52G are actually in use.

Nov 28	comment	How to get OpenSSH to use ksshaskpass under KDE? Thanks - it looks like an interesting workaround and i'll give it a try just to see how it operates, but I rather have a more system-level solution.
