Most Gtk+ themes offer a “light” and a “dark” variant, however I found out that these names are just conventional: a Gtk+ theme can define variants with arbitrary names, so maybe this can be used for some fun stuff.

Some times ago I ran into some Service Manuals with unusual background images:

• LG GOLDSTAR CB995C Service Manual
• JVC HV-29JH24 Service Manual

On May 23rd 2016 version 0.6 of tweeper has been released.

From “The Lord of the Phone-Rings”, about SaveMySugar:

One RING after them all, one RING to end them,
One RING to get the... messages, and from Morse code decode 'em.

The libam7xxx-0.1.6 release is out; it's a maintenance release with no big new features.

You know that effect in some videos where objects moving in the scene leave a trail of their old position?

On September 13th 2015 I released version 0.4 of tweeper, a web scraper which converts Twitter and other sites to RSS.

Sometimes there is the need to plot some events which have a periodic trend.

Let's consider a seasonal phenomenon; a typical plot may not fully highlight the regularity of the periodic behavior:

While I was trying to boot a vanilla linux kernel on the Teclast X98 Air 3G I messed up a bit with the UEFI firmware settings: the battery was not recognized anymore, the tablet was rebooting right after showing the UEFI firmware boot screen, and USB-host was not working either; so no keyboard for accessing the firmware menu to restore the default settings, and no ADB for running flashrom or the Intel FPT to reflash the firmware with.

I got a Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet from Aliexpress, it costed 168 € ( with free shipping) and has a high-definition screen and it's an Intel Bay Trail device; so Android, x86 architecture, 2GiB of RAM and 32 GiB of storage on EMMC.
