Hi, the name's Steffen and I'm writing about the Web, programming
and all those things coming to my mind. Enjoy your stay.
I'm currently working on fabidoo.com - 3D Printing for everyone!
I just submitted a patch to the gnash mailing list that makes it work in 64 bit environments. It’s just a little patch, but the elvis “testsuite” 
shows up and runs till the end (see screenshot) on my Athlon X2 in native 64 bit mode. Now awaiting a working browser (=Firefox) plugin - and maybe I’ll do a little bit for that as well…
Oh, maybe I forgot to mention what gnash is: A GPL implementation of the Macromedia Flash Player (v7).
I bought an external hard drive for this server. USB 2.0, fast, external, lots of memory. But unfortunately incredibly loud (well, at least for my taste ;-)). Since it is only used sporadically for backup reasons, it is ok when it is only running “sometimes” - putting it into standby mode (i.e. spinning it down) after some time would be a perfect solution. hdparm isn’t working for USB storage devices - they use the Linux SCSI emulation layer. For SCSI, a equivalent exists (sdparm), but I simply couldn’t get that one running… That’s why I had to find another solution. Grab it here.
