  • Internship at Pardus

    Hi, I’ve started working on Pardus linux distribution as an intern last week. This post is the summary of the first week at the office… I’ve been supporting Pardus for almost 6 years and being volunteer at the events occasionally. I’ve met most of the developers during these events. However, I had a great opportunity…

  • Pardus’ta Staj Başlıyor

    Bilmeyeniniz için söyleyeyim, TÜBİTAK‘ın desteğiyle geliştirilen Pardus projesinde yaz stajı için kabul edildim. Hatta staja başlayalı bir hafta oluyor. Nasıl geçti, neler yaptık, kısaca özetlemeye çalışayım… Pardus projesini neredeyse 6 yıldır destekliyorum ve sık sık etkinliklerde de gönüllü oluyorum. Bu etkinlikler boyunca da, geliştiricilerin çoğuyla tanışma fırsatım da oldu. Tanışmakla geçen stajın ilk günü, benim…

  • HTML5 Video Loop Support for Firefox

    You created a fancy HTML5 page with video element but guess what, Firefox 4 does not support video loop. I found a workaround for this problem with javascript.

  • How to Create Hyperlink DIV Elements

    Today, I encountered a problem: making div element a hyperlink. For example: It works, but SHOULD NOT be used. Because it is against the web law: W3C (X)HTML specifications! A very basic (and valid) solution: However my case was a little bit more difficult: We already know that is not a valid layout. Because a…

  • Android on iPhone 3G

    I’ve been trying to jailbreak my iPhone (iOS 4.2.1) for few days. I thought it would be cool if I install Android on my phone, after jailbreaking it. I used redsn0w several times to jailbreak, however I couldn’t manage to jailbreak even if it says “it’s done”. I didn’t want to downgrade the firmware. If…

  • Comparison of Free Twitter Apps in iPhone

    I have iPhone 3G which is running on iOS 4.2.1. Since it has a slow processor and low memory, some apps crash all the time. Official Twitter app, “Twitter for iPhone” drove me crazy last weekend. So I decided to switch to a new app. I tested some of popular apps in App Store with…

  • How Fast is Pardus?

    Today, I made a Pardus 2011 installation to my notebook PC. I used an USB flash drive as my installation media. If truth be told, I was -really- fast. I agreed the license terms, hit start button on the stopwatch timer and clicked next. I also check the integrity of my installation media by clicking…

  • Windows İadesi Macerası – Gün 1

    Recently, I bought a new laptop. Not suprisingly, a Microsoft Windows operating-system had been preinstalled. I wanted it to be removed. This post tells the first day of the story… in Turkish. Geçtiğimiz perşembe günü (13.01.2011) Profilo AVM’deki (Mecidiyeköy / İstanbul) Teknosa Extra mağazasından Casper marka bir bilgisayar satın aldım. Şaşırtıcı olmayan bir şekilde, Microsoft…

  • Storing MAC address in a MySQL database

    Today, I encountered a problem: storing MAC address in a MySQL database. MAC addresses (something like “01:23:45:67:78:AB”) contain six hexadecimal (base 16) values. This means each hexadecimal field can store 256 (2 to the power of 8, in base 10) values. It’s 8 bits (= 1 byte) for each value. 6 field x 8 bit…
