Actually, it's the Netherlands that speak a slightly modified version of
dutch. Only Flemish Belgium speaks true Dutch.

The term Flemish covers the Belgian Dutch dialects.

It's a bit confusing because of the naming and translations to English,
I think this is caused by the fact that Belgium is partly French and the
Netherlands is completely Dutch.

ps: will be at Fosdem too

You're right, this is the native language of the Netherlands, and also
(in a slightly modified version) the one spoken by half the people
from belgium.
The first one is the dutch, the second the flemish.

I think if you try to binary-xor it with the lyrics from latest song
from clouseau, you'd get something near english you can understand.

ZyXEL G-302 (rtw) lockup

2007-09-05 Thread mvdeventer
HI all.

I recently acquired a ZyXEL G-302 wireless card. OpenBSD ID's it as rtw.

It shows up on ifconfig. But when I try and config this card, either via
ifconfig or via hostname.rtw0, the whole machine locks hard. It does not
seem to matter what config I use, although I am particularly interested
in hostap mode. It may be a faulty card or something, but it would not
surprise me if I simply made a glaring error somewhere.

I tried to search for answers but Google is not my friend today.

Below are my dmesg and my (attempted) hostname.rtw0. Feel free to
comment/nitpick/flame. Since the machine is not yet networked, these
texts are copied to a windows machine and then mailed, so I hope it
doesn't appear mangled.

Cheers

Re: flowcharts

2007-05-23 Thread mvdeventer
 Call me old-fashioned, but why not just use some paper? As mentioned
 before, flowcharts make poor documentation anyway, and paper is very
 convenient, especially if you're erasing and redrawing a lot.

 You could enter the final design in an appropriate program, if so
 inclined, but doing it straight in software seems unnecessarily
painful.

Because I draw like a crab :-)

Also, I suppose I have become spoiled by Visio's ability to quickly
draw, redraw and move shapes easily. It is hardly painful at all to make
major changes to a flowchart in Visio. Compare that to Kivio where
something as simple as aligning shapes is a big problem. For instance,
the Input/Output shape cannot be aligned properly in Kivio because the
connection points are in the wrong places. So now you have to make your
own points, and somehow make sure everything lines up. In Visio (and in
openoffice) this was a simple thing to do since the points are offset in
order to make the shape and the lines line up, with each other and with
the other shapes.

Oh well...

Yes it can, and very well too. But openoffice is not on the CD, and such
a large download is quite simply out of the question for an ordinary

 By all means experiment with flowcharts, but be prepared to move on: I

Like I said to someone else off list. Maybe flowcharts are not needed,
but I have a lecturer who believes in them and wants me to use them I my
assignments. So for a while I am simply forced to use the.

 if your code is so complex that it needs a flowchart to be
comprehensible, you're doing something wrong

For a total beginner (like me) even basic code is not clear, so maybe I
will drop flowcharts as I become better at this.

I have an OT question for you guys.
Do any of you use flowcharting software, and if so what do you use?
I am just beginning to explore the world of programming and have so far
used Microsoft (spit) Visio. I tried both Kivio and Dia but they fall
short for me.
My code choices are (due to the course I am attending) limited to
JavaScript and pseudocode.
Any recommendations?

 hi there,

 today my openbsd package arived (thanks wim) and i know that
 it's not released yet, but i was wondering if it was possible
 to make the packages available on the ftp servers.  the base
 system is not there yet, so obviously only people who have
 pre-ordered would have a use for it.

 i am stuck with the packages on the cdrom...

 sarcasm
 while i am here, how was the install media's package list assembled?
 i am quite puzzled seeing some of them here.  i am sure people can't
 live without xpostit right after the pre-order install :P
 /sarcasm

 it's like the 2.6 times again...  xterm and fvwm2 :D

 the man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.

HI.

OK I have read all the responses to this.

Let me clarify first. If I understand you correctly, you are in effect
asking for only the packages (NOT the rest) to be made available via FTP
before release, so as to allow pre-order users to use them. In this way,
those who have not ordered will not be able to download early, since the
binary installation files will be uploaded only after release date.

This may sound like a good idea, but I suspect the REAL reason it has
never been used is time.

Think about it. Right about now, Theo and co. are running around dealing
with still-incoming orders, constantly chatting to the manufacturer to
sort out problems, doing some coding as well, and planning the FTP
rollout. This is a busy schedule.

I imagine by doing what will in effect be TWO FTP rollouts will put even
more strain on the team.

I am sure the devs understand your problem and appreciate the idea, but
they are probably too busy running around to change things now.

Cheers
