Posted on 2008-06-17 by Tsukasa

Last time I didn’t find too many positive words for KDE. Therefore I’m happy to announce that the points noted in the last article are not entirely fixed, the DE is very useable though. Yes, what I’m trying to press … Continue reading →

By now I’m used to my daily dose of comment spam. Now I’m also getting spam on my domain e-mail account. Thank god the recipient mail address is just a non-existing bouncer anyway; disabling catch-all solved the problem quite nicely. … Continue reading →

I’m a big fan of Solaris. But maybe my expectations for OpenSolaris’ Project Indiana are too high… My idea of Project Indiana was that the final product would be something like a Debian for Solaris. I mean… they’ve got Ian … Continue reading →

Das Paradoxon

Posted on 2008-06-04 by Tsukasa

Heise hat manchmal einen ungewollt zynischen Humor. Oder ist das eher das Talent unserer Regierung? Auf der einen Seite schlotterts in der Hose, da man ja jetzt abgehört werden könnte, andererseits beschließt man nun die BKA Gesetzesnovelle, die genau diese … Continue reading →

Katamari… no, wait.

Posted on 2008-05-26 by Tsukasa

This is absolutely epic, I love the idea. Seems to be viral marketing, though (and at least it seems to work on me). Reminds me, I still want to watch the new Indy flick, even though people say it’s crap… … Continue reading →

Copying User profiles while in use

Posted on 2008-05-26 by Tsukasa

I know it’s not a feasable way to do it but sometimes you can’t get around to copy a user profile while it’s still locked (think: Windows locks it even after the user logs out). To copy such a pesky … Continue reading →

Posted on 2008-05-11 by Tsukasa

Woot woot. Good things do happen 🙂 Now it’s time to do some regression tests. Without implying bad things here, but people should be very strict with applications before giving out platinum status. Things like “does work perfectly fine as … Continue reading →

CoreAVC for Mplayer dead, reborn, punching bad boys to a pulp

Posted on 2008-05-06 by Tsukasa

It’s a real shame: A while ago I blogged about a very nice set of patches to make CoreAVC work on Mplayer. Now it seems that a DMCA note was filed and Google has kicked the project from it’s Code … Continue reading →

Nemo

Posted on 2008-05-06 by Tsukasa

Can’t really tell how I’ve managed to overlook this great program 🙂 . Nemo is a file manager without… well… it’s more like a calendar actually… but with files. Hard to explain but very fitting to keep track of my … Continue reading →

Ouch

Posted on 2008-05-03 by Tsukasa

It’s a good thing that people actually listen to you when asking for advice on what kind of TV they should buy. Too bad they stop listening when you start talking about upgrades to the rest of the television set … Continue reading →
