It somehow looks like next 2 months are going to be great fun...

In early september I'll join the KDE booth at the Linuxtage in Essen (Germany). Actually I still have to find cheapest way to get there, as the way from $HOME to /essen isn't quite short, but no way would be too long for my Special Kay

.

In mid-end setember I'll be at aKademy 06, for the weekend. Also not shortest distance that is, will be about 170 from Vienna to Dublin and back. But aKademy is really a must this year, as I couldn't participate last year as I had to work - so it could be even 500 bucks to go there!

Last but not least it's also highly possible that we (roKymotion team, the currently 2 members

) do a talk at Practical Linux in Gießen (Germany). Although I will first have to check how to finance that funky trip.

So, maybe see ya at one of those events

Freedom?

Belive it or not, but I'm really free.

Google is taking care of that - and therefore: thank you Google!

I can read latest news selection everywhere, check mails everywhere, can stay in contact with friends everywhere, I can do wordprocessing every time, I can do spreadsheeting every time, I even can manage my calendar everywhere, and all this I can do from one site in the web.

Yeah, I know, I probably post too much about the never ending go(o)dness of Google, but I just noticed again that I don't depend on any OS for the stuff that really matters in all day life.

Server and A New Friend

So I've finished a basic implementation of a DAAP server in Ruby this morning. Hooray! I haven't gotten any where with it for some time due to a frustrating problem. I had been overlooking that not all numbers in DAAP are 4 bytes wide, so I just fixed that and it worked. The server is really slow to initialize, so I think fixing that issue is my next step...

Last night, my flatmate Alex said "What was that - a bat or a bird?" I didn't see anything. However a few minutes later something fluttered through the living room ("Aaargh!" was my response). That was our first introduction to our new friend Nickie. We weren't sure she was a bat until the following morning. Right outside our apartment door in the hallway was Nickie, hanging around.

Crystal and Sam also have a new neighbor, Jackie. Apparently she was fluttering around their apartment last night as well and she's now hanging inside the front door of their apartment building. The bats are getting out and enjoying the weather as well here in Kirksville.

Celebrating new RBot release

I'm happy to announce that a new version of the Ruby IRC bot has been released. RBot is an awesome project I've joined recently, combining the two best things in the world: Ruby and IRC. The project was started 4 years ago by the Botfather, Tom Gilbert, and has recently picked up on popularity, due to its great plugin system and flexibility. Come join us sometime on #rbot (freenode) and check out the 0.9.10 release here:

madwifi, pcmcia, kernel 2.6.17 Posted by Seb Ruiz in sebr at 00:32

madwifi, pcmcia, kernel 2.6.17

I recently discussed my problems I was having with my WG511T wireless card and my laptop. Thinking that my problem was with my upgrade, I installed kubuntu to try something different. I loved the way everything just worked, for the user point of view, but as a developer it was a little difficult to get everything setup as required. The laptop, an IBM R30 also couldn’t really handle the strain of kubuntu, so arch is now back on the system.

Hope that a fresh install would solve all my problems was but whisked away with the wind when the wifi card did absolutely nothing when inserted. I’ve since discovered that the culprit wasn’t the madwifi drivers, as I had originally thought, but the pci probing in the kernel modules.

Since then, I’ve compiled the 2.6.16 kernel and everything is working handy-dandy again.

Bloedsinn vom selbsternannten Experten

Das hier ist so ziemlich mit Abstand der sinnfreieste Artikel, den ich jemals gelesen habe. Und was um alles in der Welt ist bitteschoen eine "Benimmexpertin"? Klingt fuer mich nach jemanden, der nichts kann ausser nicht auffallen. Das dafuer besonders gut. Expertenhaft koennte man sagen. Oder wem ist schonmal eine Frau mit Baumwoll-rock und langaermliger Bluse aufgefallen. Eben.
