Started my computer, tried to run licq... nothing. In the evening I did another update of my system. Nothing with qt, nothing with licq. But after synaptic finished, I tried to start licq and it is runnig. Strange. Any hints?

Since the last update to kde 3.5 there are some heavy problems: After logging in, while kde starts, I get the message: "Could not start kdeinit, check your installation". Clicking it away starts kde anyway. Huh? Apparently this blocks some services from kde (I do not use). libqcad0.dev causes problems while installing. No reason. So Qcad doesn't work. Since the last update licq doesn't work. All I know is, that the reason is a QT library. And all I know is not enough to solve the problem. So there is no ICQ contact with me. Pardon: when I start "licq -d console" i have licq on the console. :-) But until right now I couldn't get any information how to use it.

I completed the light in the carport by installing a current socket, a light switch and a lamp with motion switch-on.

Today I had another workshop from the Mesnerhaus Artists. Sketching Portraits. The son of one of the members was sitting for half an hour and we tried to portrait him with pencil, coal and red chalk. Quite difficult, but he was recognizable. Maybe one of you wants to sit as model for me?

With Bernhards, a teacher colleague, help I installed 7 current sockets and 2 light switches. Also the socket and switch for the carport. That caused a hole in the wall. Afterwards I closed all unwanted holes with plaster and tomorrow I will paint the walls with silmallin, a white chalk wall-colour. Made from a company this would cost about 1000 EUR, knowing how to make it by myself it costs 70 EUR. God thanks I know how to do this things.

Today I had a wonderful day with skiing at the Rosshütte in Seefeld. A one-day-ticket costs 29 EUR, but M-Preis sold 1+1 for that price. So actually for one person 14,50 EUR. We were skiing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a wonderful weather and wonderful snow. In addition we reached a peak, the Seefelder Joch, as you can see, by foot. On the other picture you can see the Hohe Munde on the right, Obsteig and the Grünberg in the middle and the Stubaier Alpen on the left. In the foreground you can see Seefeld.

Yesterday I made my usual update with synaptic. 370 MB had to be loaded down. And after a long time I had a new KDE: 3.5, well. First I noticed k3b is working again after 2 months of absence. Then today I started OpenOffice. It froze down. After starting synaptic again, there were 75 MB to download. Most of all OpenOffice. Now it works. But: KDE 3.5 looks fine. It would be better to have a new hardware. It is slower than before. Now it is difficult to recognize the difference between starting an application and a computer froze-down.

For the first time i did it by myself without asking anybody else. ./configure make make install. And *surprise* it worked. To export files as mp3 out of audacity I have to use lame. I found a hint that told me: get the tar and compile it on your own computer, otherwise it wont work. And I managed it. A small step for mankind but a big step for me.

You remember the destroyed fingernail in November? Now it is back again and as long as the others. 3 months is a long time.

Today I glued the port-side part of the hull of my yacht to the structure. Quite difficult because of the curves at the bow. But have a look at your own.

It took me some days, but now I have finished the grades. Tomorrow I have 2 hours to write them into the catalogues. Then we have a teachers meeting about the grades.
