Technology in the age of the Internet

  • Free as in Freedom

    I have noticed that my blog doesn’t contain any detailed description about my view on Free Software, so for those people who come to my blog, and think it’s just another thing that computer oriented people like to use, I would like to explain my vision about that in a few words. Beside the philosophical…

  • Trisquel GNU/Linux

    I have translated the article from English to Slovenian Wikipedia about Trisquel GNU/Linux distribution. Trisquel GNU/Linux is an operating system based on the GNU/Linux distribution Ubuntu.[1] The project aims for a fully free software system without proprietary software or firmware and uses a free version of the GNU/Linux kernel as distributed by the Linux-libre project.[2]

  • One Laptop Per Child

    I got a chance to obtain the One Laptop Per Child computer. It is a XO-1. I have ordered it from California and currently blogging about it on my other OLPC related blog.

  • VAXorcism for hobbyists

    The owner of Slovenian company which worked with VAX/VMS has gifted me some vintage VAX workstations. They are MicroVAX 3100 and VAXstation 3100, which will join my collection of VAXstation 4000/90. They are being put on hold for the cold winter days, when I will use my time to play with them and upgrade them…

  • Raspberry Pi

    In early September I bought Raspberry Pi (RPI). RPI is a credit card sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools. I have installed Raspbian distribution on it which is a fork of Debian GNU/Linux. Additionally I installed XBMC a free and open source media player application which is a…

  • Museum night

    One day in a year 90% of Slovenian museums open their exhibitions without admission. The museums and galleries are opened from early morning until midnight. This year I went to see the photographic exhibitions at Museum for Architecture and Design which held selection of photographs from international art collection Junij. Secondly I went to the Jakopic…

  • New Free Software mirrors

    I set up two new software mirrors. One being GNU Linux-Libre kernel, a project to maintain and publish 100% Free distributions of Linux, suitable for use in Free System Distributions. Second being the ISO mirror for Trisquel GNU/Linux distribution. Both mirrors are located in California, United States. Server space is kindly sponsored by Laszlo.

  • VAXstation 4000/90

    Darko V. saved/gave me the VAXstation 4000/90 model VS49K-AB codename “Cougar”. It supports recent NetBSD which seems like the best option to install, before the GNU/Linux port becomes mature to test it on. I already have a DEMO account at Dave’s identical machine running NetBSD 6 BETA .

  • Go to 1982

    Computer enthusiasts from Slovenia are exhibiting the vintage computer systems and mainframes, which will be visible at the National Museum for Contemporary History in Ljubljana. The collection will be opened on 29th of May 2012 and will last until February 2013. Read more at GOTO 1982 website.

  • VAX revival

    I am into Retrocomputing. Recently I took an interest in searching for available GNU/Linux distribution for VAX systems. VAX was an instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the mid-1970s. A 32-bit complex instruction set computer (CISC) ISA, it was designed to extend or replace DEC’s various Programmed Data Processor (PDP) ISAs. The…
