The plan was something like this:
* Get up at Saturday morning.
* Put a new website for Io together.
* Release the new version (0.3).
* Have lunch and enjoy the rest of the day.

Well, as it turned out it took a bit longer.

How to Design a Good API & Why it Matters. A very interesting talk about, as the title suggests, API design. If you're a progammer watch this. Almost 70 minutes long but totally worth the time investment!

I've recently released version 0.2 of the Io framework and I thought I'd use the opportunity to write a bit about what changed in Io 0.2 and what will change in the future.

The problem: It doesn't work.
The solution can be found in a thread on Ubuntu Forums:

actually, you can fix this a little more cleanly. You still have to step out of the Ubuntu way, but the Eclipse way works just fine. You'll need to start eclipse via sudo from a command line:

sudo eclipse

Just let it take the default Workspace, it doesn't matter. Then do Help->Software Updates and update from the Eclipse repository (or one of the mirrors). This will give you the latest release as well as the JUnit4 libraries.

I already mentioned this on my old blog but I can't emphasize it enough:
If you want to setup software RAID on Linux using mdadm, this excellent tutorial is what you need.

I've added some information to this website. Enjoy.

As some may have noticed, my current project, Elrador Engine has been dormant for a while, with no public releases and not even activity in the source code repository for a while. The reason is that I've been working on a new project for the past months: Io Project, a framework for online games (just like Elrador Engine is).

While this new project wasn't a secret, it's hosted at Sourceforge and everything has been public from day 1, I haven't been advertising it either. I wanted to wait until I got a first working release.

Read on, if you're interested in some technical details of Io and the reasons why I decided to start a new project.

Welcome to my new website! I've been planning to create a private website for a while, but finally I've gotten around to really do it.
I'm not planning anything spectacular. Basically, I'll just use this website to blog instead of my old blog and provide some information about the stuff I work on here.

Speaking of my blog: I'm not planning to migrate the postings to the new site. Instead I'll save myself some time and start fresh. My old blog will stay online for a while, but I don't think I will preserve it forever. That's what the Internet Archive is for.

So that was my first message here, basically. Expect some new content and an exciting announcement here as soon as I find some time (please note how I did not specify how soon that will be).
