The future’s wide open… open source!

Hey, I just released my very first contribution to the world of open source software! It’s basically not a really big thing but while I’ve been researching about a reasonable and stable multi-threaded producer/consumer problem implementation C#, I quickly found out that there are not many resources out there on that topic. Oh wait… That is to say: There are hefty amounts of resources on that topic, but all of them are just forum posts like “can you help me with that” without really helpful answers. A few hits I had were actually trying to solve the problem but most of them were contradicting the other possible solutions.ย I think you can see where this was going…
I expanded my search and eventually ended up deep-diving into the .net Framework and its crappy documentation and teaching all that fancy multi-threading stuff to myself. I came up with a small, probably helpful example that I wanted to share with the world ๐ It can be used in other projects because it’s completely generic and hides all the threading magic inside the three classes. If you think it’s too much overhead for your project or the way the produce() and consume() methods are called doesn’t fit into the workflow of your project, you still can check it out in order to learn a little bit.
I called it tspcp (thread-safe producer-consumer pattern) and just released it on github. Feel free to fork! 
Ubuntu and the Christmas break

I’ve been working on a system running Ubuntu 9.10 and even though I’m still a Mac fanboy, I have to admit that Ubuntu has grown to be a really fast, stable and fun system! But who cares? Computers suck anyway
Side note: I’ll return to Germany for the holidays, fuel up on relaxation and will be back here in England on January 5th. Merry Christmas to you all and have a great new year 2010!
Being sick

Being sick really annoys me. I caught a mean cold two days ago and have to stay at home in bed. Aside from writing applications, I’ve got plenty of time to kill so I dug out this youtube-jewel:
Well, I just love Japan ๐

Hehe, I just found out about the lottery at allyve.com. They’re going to draw one iPod Touch 3G from all participants right here and I want to win ๐
If you don’t know what allyve.com is all about, read through the allyve-Tutorial. In my opinion, it’s a very cool idea (damn, to be honest, I was thinking about implementing something like this for a longer period of time but didn’t find the time to do it…).
This is just another test of the trackback feature

So don’t really care about this post ๐ But if you happen to have your own wordpress-based blog, just pingback to this post by putting a link to https://blog.defaude.info/2009/10/this-is-just-another-test-of-the-trackback-feature/ directly into the content of one of your posts or by explicitly linking to https://blog.defaude.info/2009/10/this-is-just-another-test-of-the-trackback-feature/trackback/ in the “Send Trackbacks” field in the edit form.

Found myself … in Nakai?!

Today, I toyed around with Google Maps and especially their Street View feature. It’s not available in Germany yet but will be soon, I guess. It is, however, already implemented in many other countries including Japan. Out of nostalgic feelings, I virtually followed the path from my appartment to the train station which I took so many times during my stay there. And guess what I found? Yeah: myself! 8)
On the second one, my legs are missing because Google is interpolating between multiple images ๐ Anyways, this is crazy and awesome, huh?

Pingbacks and other difficulties in my life

Hey hey, here I am again. Uncle Roland ๐
Unfortunately, my WordPress installation seems to be bugging around a bit. Pingbacks and Trackbacks still don’t work so I’ve been playing around with my permalink structure and stuff like that for a while. It still does not seem to work so I’ve given up now…
But there have been several changes I would like to let my readers to know about: URL of this blog isย http://defaude.infoย without the /blog2 appendix anymore. The old (German) blog can still be found under http://defaude.info/blogย but as I mentioned, I will not continue writing in this one. I also changed the permalink structure a little bit so it does only contain the year and the month but not the day anymore. Please update your bookmarks if neccesary. ๐
And also the URL of my RSS feeds has changed! Entries can be found under http://defaude.info/feedย and comments have their own RSS feed under http://defaude.info/comments/feed. If you have no idea of what I’m talking about here, feel free to ask me any time ๐
PS: Since the stupid trackback feature also does not seem to work at nordblog.core, I try to kick it right here.
