Wasting Time

By Jochen Voss, last updated October 30, 2011.

Computers can be quite fascinating objects, which help you to waste a lot of time. I use them for this purpose regularly. On my pages here you can find the following things.

• Download of some computer programs I wrote, e.g. the game moon-buggy and the Wisent parser generator for Python.
• Information about Linux hardware support for devices I use or have used.
• Hints about setting up virtual servers with VServer on Debian.
• An overview over the many different date representations in Python.
• Hints about using the ALSA sound system.
• An illustration of the boot process of a Debian/unstable system.
• Information about using numerical linear algebra packages in your own C programs and about how to apply this to calculate the square root of a matrix.
