Library mess! Written on May 31, 2006, by akafazov.
Yesturday I decided to organize my projects. The first thing I did is to move a solution with 4 projects from one folder into another. The solutions consisted of 2 libraries, and two executables. In turn, those were dependent on 8 more libraries. And the mess begun.
I wrote how I had trouble getting the solution [...]
30 May 2006 Written on May 30, 2006, by akafazov.
Having multiple projects and multiple configuration in Visual Studio 2005 is still pain in the ass. Especially when they are different project types. I think, the studio still lacks a solid concept of a project and solution and as a result the problems with it still hang in the IDE. Today I moved my whole [...]
MC++ Wrapper class experiences Written on May 26, 2006, by akafazov.
Today I finally am getting ready with the wrapper. The last problem that was left has been solved, and I just have to do a few minor changes and it will be ready. So the thing was, that I have a callback mechanism which is how the client gets event notifications for all updates in [...]
VS2005 Problems Written on May 24, 2006, by akafazov.
Today MS Visual Studio 2005 crashed on my computer for the first time! Well, no software is perfect.
As far as the problem from yesturday is concerned, it turned out to be bug in the debugger too. The structure member is recognized as undefined in the “watch” window, but after I let the program run it [...]
Wrapping C++ in MC++, calling function fails Written on May 23, 2006, by akafazov.
Went to work today and lost a lot of time trying to figure out a problem with the wrapper class. The wrapper is MC++ and the code I want to interface to is of course C++. I don’t get it why calling a function from C++ and MC++ with the same parameters would give me [...]

I notice a strange error message in /var/log/messages which after being repeated several times results in me not able to gain access to the machine through ssh. The message is:
xl0: discard oversize frame (ether type 8864 flags 3 len 1514 > max 1506)

Freebsd ADSL router Written on May 20, 2006, by akafazov.
I have finally set up the home router and it is already up and running. The last two days I have been doing various tests to see how is it working, it turns out not too good. The problem is in the traffic shaper. I am using OpenBSD’s packet filter which has been ported to [...]
FreeBSD 6.1 released Written on May 10, 2006, by akafazov.
Yesturday the release of the 6.1 version of Freebsd was announced. I downloaded the cds but haven’t tried it out yet. I am thinking about running -STABLE and -CURRENT on my laptop, since -CURRENT is too slow and I am too unexperienced for daily use.
Couldn’t test the PPP configuration yesturday, maybe today or tommorow.

Linux Tag in Wiesbaden Written on May 6, 2006, by akafazov.
Linux Tag is a major open source event in Germany and this year it took place in Wiesbaden. I had the opportunity to attend it, since it is close to where I live. Even though the name implies that it is more about linux, there were many presentations about the different BSDs and those are [...]
