I can seldomly laugh out loud at web videos. Not that they are all unfunny (although most just are), but it’s just media overload out there…
So here’s something that I could really laugh at, for a change. It shows how dirty one’s brain’s associations with shapes can be, and how imaginative and creative an artist [...]
My Linux laptop is here! I’m so happy.
Most things are working out of the box (except the correct resolution of 1280×800). I’ll hopefully do a full review coming Monday, when I had the chance to do some work with the box and let the hype decay a bit.
So far, it looks [...]
I just read through the (preliminary!) release notes of GNOME 2.20.
Two features I’m really eager to test once Ubuntu ships the new GNOME:
The Evolution mailer now notices if you’re talking about a mail attachment and - in case you forgot to attach anything - remind you when finally sending the mail.

These last days I really notice how a comfortable atmosphere can make working and studying much more enjoyable.
Setting
Usually it’s the evenings when I feel best lying on my bed with a good engineering book - in this case “Data Warehouse Systeme” by Bauer/Günzel. It should be dusk or night outside to have a really good [...]
No worries, I’m not putting my testament online yet - or at all.

Great read: Is There Anything Good About Men?
(Thx intellekt)
See the first entry here: Iceland travel diary 1
Subsequent entries will be linked from the previous one (so you can reach the second from the first ;)). Cya tomorrow!
I’ll start posting my Iceland travel diary tomorrow, right here. Gotta translate it first though, and I don’t have much time, so it’ll be one posting per day. It won’t be on the front page, because I will post it with original time/date. All posts will be interlinked though, and will be linked from the [...]
