As I mentioned previously, I kind of liked the ack-grep tool. I made a small patch for it so that it ignores moc_*.cpp files generated by Qt’s moc tool, which I think makes not much of sense to include in the search as they are automatically generated files.

Rubik’s Cube patterns, 4x4x4
Instead of directly jumping to the 5x5x5 cube I decided to learn some cool patterns on the 4x4x4 cube. Just for being more annoying in a group of friends playing with the cube constantly 
Here I found some really nice patterns and also instructions for solving the cube:

Rubik’s Cube Patterns
Out of boredom, while searching, I found this web site showing how to build different patterns on a 3x3x3 rubik’s cube.

The Test of Awareness
I saw this video which made me think a lot. I mean, a-l-o-t. After spending my last two years behind some totally infeasible project about my life, I don’t know what I missed during this time. I guess I should be more careful from now on. Here it comes, the test of awareness:
High Voltage
Last wednesday, 17.06.2009, a real rock ‘n roll band was in Helsinki. And I had the chance to see them alive. Now I can consider myself a pilgrim.
Here it comes:

DOSBox on my Nokia N810
After staying up whole night to finish a paper for a course at school, I decided it was time for some fun. I had been reading forum posts of people installing DOSBox on their Nokia tablets and playing old stuff.
I got the packages from here: http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html.
After googling some abandonware sites, it wasn’t hard to find one of my favorites, Street Rod.
Using the touchscreen is a bit hard, as it looks kind of uncalibrated. It says that it can be calibrated by dragging the stylus from left to right and from top to bottom, but I still couldn’t get it working properly.
Something better than grep
For a while I have been trying to convince myself to write a script for filtering grep output when searching code trees, especially ones versioned with Subversion or so. Then I made some googling around to see if anybody made it already. I was lucky, someone already written a tool called ack. It searches recursively filtering almost anything that will not make sense; such as binaries, backup files of editors, version control system files and so on. It also has very nicely formatted colorful output.
Here it can be found:
