http://lisas.de/~alex One Two, One Two Sat, 22 May 2010 13:29:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Last weekend I upgraded most of my home systems to run Lucid Lynx. From the software point of view everything went pretty smoothly and I am really happy so far. I like the new look which is not surprising as I've been using the Dust theme prior to 10.04 and ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=147 Yesterday, I finally found the time to flash my N900 with the latest Maemo version PR1.1. I ran the flasher software on a Fedora host and the process performed quickly without problems. After recovering my backup everything was back  to normal. Unfortunately I had no wifi available at the time, ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=139 Adrian just upgraded lisas.de to Fedora 12 and that brought us an upgraded python. Unfortunately the current planet version uses the md5 module which has now been deprecated, so cron now sends me one deprecation warning per hour, which is rather frustrating. I wrote a little patch to fix the ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=132 So this is the obligatory blogged-on-the-N900 blog entry, straight from the maemo browser running all that WordPress JavaScript. So far, I am pretty amazed, although it's only one day and I didn't have much time to play with it. Software and UI are much more polished than I would have ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=129 It's on its way! I have finally ordered one of these fine mini laptops that can serve as cell phones, too. Now I'm sure that Adrian will taunt me for buying a device that comes with my favorite audio daemon pre-installed, but hey if it works as it should I'm ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=123 While idling in front of my desktop watching the karmic update complete, I decided it was time for a fresh wall paper. So I put some of the good, old convergence onto a photo I took at our local tram museum recently. In case you want to run underneath a ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=114 Yes, I knew this would happen. However, that does not diminish my frustration. Of all the desktop machines that I work with, I only use three to play audio frequently. These machines currently run Ubuntu Jaunty, Ubuntu Karmic and Fedora 11. For each setup I had the good intention of ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=102 Even though I had hardly used it, my Dell Inspiron laptop broke after two years: now it will only run with the AC adapter plugged in and the battery removed. Even worse, I had to by a new AC adapter and a replacement battery to find out that it's actually ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=84 Over the holidays I went shopping for some fresh music. I was very pleased to learn that Ugly Duckling have released a new album as I had already feared that the guys have vanished as they never updated their original website. It seems they have moved to myspace so the ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=68 [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="107" caption="Copenhagen stopover"][/caption] I am currently spending three days in Helsinki for a business trip. Unfortunately I will not be leaving the airport area a lot. It is nice to visit a place where people's keyboards have Umlauts, too. OK, instead of the German ü they have an ... http://lisas.de/~alex/?p=49
