GnuPG/PGP key

Some of my mail, and all my Debian work, is signed with the GnuPG/PGP key which you can find here.

On post-Sarge systems, you need to add this key to your APT trusted keyring to be able to use my Debian archive. You can do this manually by downloading the key and entering (as root) one of the following commands

apt-key add frodo-looijaard.pgp
apt-key add frodo-looijaard.pgp.asc

If you do not have a program apt-key, you will probably not need to execute this either.

Debian software and APT archive

Introduction

The server debian.frodo.looijaard.name hosts a public APT archive with software which is not available in mainstream Debian. It is software which I have written myself, and packages which I have Debianized.

To access the APT archive, you need to edit your /etc/apt/source.list file. Add the following lines:

Neodio CompactFlash Cardreader on Linux

Summary: 

Making the Linux 2.4 kernel recognize the Neodio CompactFlash Cardreader.

Maintenance status: 
Mostly of historic interest
License: 
GNU General Public License version 2 or later

Downloads

Images are just files

Just a quick one this time: in Drupal, the image field type is based on the file field type. That means that if you are looking for a way to use IMCE to upload images, the IMCE for File Field module will just do the job.

Creating a poor man's blog

Sometimes you have to write your own Drupal modules. Sometimes you need some heavy weight module. But often, you can fit several smaller modules together to get what you want.

Lenovo E145: Wireless network

Symptoms

The wireless network adapter on Lenovo E145 laptops is not supported out of the box on Debian. Though you can see the PCI device (using lspci), you do not have a wireless interface (as checked with ifconfig -a, for example).

Things I did not know about MySQL

Did you know that MySQL can join at most 61 tables in one query?

Did you know that table data is by default stored as latin1 with the  latin1_swedish_ci collation?

Things I did not know but should have - as I encountered both issues the same day.
