Nanoblogger update

I ran cvs update on NanoBlogger and I was suprised that it has new feature :-). So since today you can view per day archives. It doesn't make much sense for my blog, but sometimes it happens to contain more entries, like last Sunday.

No that I'd miss this feature, but I felt there is something missing when man followed structure of generated files. Thanks to developers!

Userspace software suspend

Yesterday I tested µswsusp for first time and everything suprisingly worked well on my desktop computer. I can suspend to disk and RAM and resume without any problems. Now it only needs my board to be whitelisted so that I don't have to force it. But for some reason ASUS have chosen to fill in total crap in DMI, probably to make identification harder:

Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: System manufacturer
        Product Name: System Product Name
        Version: System Version
        Serial Number: System Serial Number
        UUID: 94C96C90-74FE-D511-A6B9-13393877187A
        Wake-up Type: PCI PME#

Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes
Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
        Product Name: P5LD2-VM
        Version: Rev 1.xx
        Serial Number: MB-1234567890

So the patch for whitelist would look a bit funny:

{ "System manufacturer", "System Product Name", "System Version", "0406    ", 0},

Yes it's too much work to fill in this information if you call your product "The Best Intel All in One Solution with Dual Core CPU Support"…
