I’ve created a new page where I will upload small code snippets that I created and which might be useful for some. Most code snippets are released in the Public Domain. The code snippets might not have the highest quality, so feel free to propose improvements to them if you feel like it.

PS: I have moved the “safe replacement for gets” blogpost to the code snippets page and have moved over all the comments as well.

This blog has been back on line for 5 days now. I am using Google Analytics to obtain statistics about the visitors of this website. Don’t be scared though; no personal information is collected. I thought it would be nice to discuss some of the statistics, as I have now had 100 visits by 50 unique visitors in total.

I should note that at this early age of my blog the results aren’t very trustworthy, but they should give you a rough sketch anyway.

Webbrowsers

Visitors of this blog seem to prefer Firefox (56.44%), although there have been a lot of visits by the Safari (28.71%) webbrowser as well. Chrome and Mozilla are a bit less popular among my visitors, both have a share of 5.94% individually. The most shocking however, is the low amount of visits by the Internet Explorer webbrowser. Less than 2% of visits to this blog have been made using this webbrowser. I can only applaud that. Okay, perhaps the results aren’t that shocking after all, knowing that this blog is primarily aimed at Linux users and/or developers.

Operating systems

44.55% of all visits were made by people using the Linux operating system. This is not a big surprise, as my blog is primarily aimed at Linux users. More surprisingly however: an astonishing 31.68% of all visits were made by people using the Mac OS X operating system. A possible explanation is that a lot of my blogposts are about cross-platform development and that a lot of the posts about Linux are applicable to Mac OS X as well (both operating systems are fully POSIX-compliant). Only 22.77% of my visitors use the Windows operating system.

PS: I have created a Request article page. If you are interested in something about Linux or programming or anything else that I might find interesting to write about, just tell me by posting a comment on that page!

This blog is back! After nearly a year of silence, I decided to recreate my old techblog.
Thanks to some handy UNIX tools (vim, grep, sed) I was able to reformat my old MySQL dump into a format which is accepted by this newer version of Wordpress.

I have currently hidden all my old posts though, but most of them will come on line again after a small review, because some posts contain broken links and broken images.

edit: mosts posts are back online!

For the future of this blog, I will write all my blogposts in English. That way I can reach more people. I don’t think this is a big issue, since most guys and girls who are interested in technology will know enough English to read my blog. But if you have another opinion on the matter, please do tell me.
