(Addressed to self)
- Install rEFIt and set it to boot always (run /efi/enable-always.sh as r00t) .
- Use carbon copy cloner to make a backup of the mac system to an external HDD with sufficient space.
- After the backup is done, boot from the external drive; fiddle with the partitions all you need to get them to the right size.
- Clone the backup into the new partition
- (re)Install refit. Re-enable to boot always.
- Get gparted and create an ext2 partition for Debian (ext2 is compatible with more tools than ext3/4; for instance macfuse and ext2fs for fuse )
- Create Windows' NTFS partition as well. Set the boot flag to it, in order to clear the weird msftres flag (with the msftres flag the installer won't recognise it)
- Reboot and run Partition Tool from the rEFIt bootloader.
- Install Debian (I recommend Stable to myself, with the occasional package from Testing, otherwise it'll pester you with a lot of updates that bring nothing but brokenness and no interesting functionality. Remember the latest nvidia/Xorg dispute? Yeah, I didn't like that either.)
- Install Windows.
- Boot gparted again.
- Using a terminal, mount the linux partition (mine is /dev/sda3) at /mnt : mount /dev/yourLinuxPartition /mnt
- cd / ; ln -s /mnt/boot
- cp /mnt/etc/apt/sources.lst /etc/apt/sources.lst
- Modify /etc/apt/sources.lst to only have your normal repo line activated (dev-src is not necessary and all the others will only take a bit more time) and point it to testing: mine is deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/Debian testing main
- run apt-get update
- apt-get install grub2
- grub-install --force /dev/yourLinuxPartition (mine is /dev/sda3)
- nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg ; Add line maxcpus=1 to the kernel loading line
- Reboot (Shut down; rebooting from any linux currently hangs the computer)
- Start GNU/Linux; remove grub from your installed packages using synaptics. Package updates to grub usually screw everything up in macs. At least in mine did.
- Reboot (Shut down; rebooting from any linux currently hangs the computer)
- Do not touch anything in the damn partition table _ever_ again. Do not allow anything to even threaten to touch the partition/bootloader/blah configuration. Do not upgrade grub. :D or the kernel :D

26 de enero, 20:19(+01:00) - Gource
I'm currently checking out Gource by Andrew Caudwell ( http://code.google.com/p/gource/ ), a version control system change visualiser. Their visual style is undeniably nice. I tried it with the motorJ repo:
Gource is available for GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOSX (Through macports)
My only dismay is that it didn't display the last 2 changes in the repo, which where quite big (I expected it to bloom like a tree in spring, right after the winter cold). But I think that's some glitch in the svn log facility (or the instructions provided to it), since I couldn't see them in the logfile it generated..

I had a ton of fun writing this mock-essay with fellow teammates in Ubiquitous Computing. The aim was simply filling up the ACM template so I think we succeeded.

15 de diciembre de 2009, 18:44(+01:00) - The Weather Bowl
For Ubiquitous Computing, me and my team did this project, which will be on display tomorrow in Campus Lindholmen:
Weather Bowl - Ubiquitous Computing '09 - Group L from Alejandro Valenzuela on Vimeo.
It gets weather information from the Internet and displays it with colour and movement, in a subtle manner. We made it using 2 arduinos, RGB LEDs, sparkfun wireless shields, an IKEA lamp, a fan, polystyrene bits and other assorted electronics.
See http://web.student.chalmers.se/~rocaa/wbowl for more info. (The page is not yet complete but will be by Friday -or bust-)
