It's been a while. I guess I need to start blogging again. Right now I'm looking for a way to nicely format source code - publishing source code had been frustrating with Blogger. There's one which look promising called SyntaxHighlighter. I'll try to figure out how to incorporate this into Blogger.
Updated: changed the link to the new home of SyntaxHighlighter

Python 3.0
Python 3.0 was released 5 days ago. I guess it's time to attempt to port some of the Python 2.x scripts to the new 3.0 style.

D-Link DWA-110 Wireless G USB Adapter: A Nightmare with Ubuntu
First of all, the driver rt73usb that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 did not work out of the box. A quick browse at the manufacturer site lead me to a driver meant for Linux. Naturally this option would be the preferred one. After all the driver is coming from the maker of the device. Boy, I was totally wrong. Compilation went okay, but I couldn't configure the adapter.
Frustrated, I search for anoother option and I found one - ndiswrapper using the MS Windows driver. It didn't sound like a good solution to me (and it is still not a good one now!). Why would I want to use MS Windows driver? I'm running Linux, for goodness sake! I tried anyway, and as I expected it didn't work.
Another round of researching lead me to a GPL'd driver which in multiple instance reported to work with the exact USB adapter that I have. As a bonus, there's even a guide to the driver running on Ubuntu. Finally, using the open source driver and manual, I managed to get my USB network adapter working. Kudos to all involved with the GPL'd driver and those who contribute to the manual.

wxPython ain't working in Ubuntu Hardy?!!
After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I found out that my wxPython didn't work anymore. A quick check revealed that wx.pth was missing. The fix is just re-create the file and add wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode into it.
