orc or deer?
Nowadays it sounds strange listening
to the night. You don't know whether there are Orcs outside singing
round a campfire or the deer has mating season. Roaring all the
night sounds like from a different world. But thats only
deer!

wlan works again
With the help of davids instructions
and a little logical thinking I managed it to have my wlan work
again after installing a new kernel on caliban.

final exam
Today I had my final exam for the
PTS-licence. One question was about the project-methode shown on
the FIRST-Lego League and the second was explaining new teaching
methods shown on moodle or something equal. I finished it quite
good, so you can call me quadrouple-ped. ;-) I will get the paper
on friday. Ok, another part of my study is finished now.

calibans first appearance
Today caliban had his baptism of fire
at my final exam in informatics. Prof: "The old beamer will cause
problems, I think it will not work" - xrandr and "beam". Prof: "Oh,
thats great!". After my presentation and answering of the questions
I finished Informatics. Now you can call me tripl.ped ;-)

DIP
Last Saturday we had a fine small
Debian install party. Two new "low-end" desktops and one
"high-aged" desktop. It took more time than I thought but I learned
a little more than I hoped. Unfortunately I had no time to start
the PCs at all. But time will come on weekend.

mirage
Found a new picture viewer: mirage.
For my PC it is a very very fast viewer. Although there is no
thumbnail preview it is more faster than anything I had.

Debian Vista
Today I met two people who needed new
PCs. The first one told me that she only uses mail and web for
renting rooms and word for writing the offers. I showed her caliban
with kde and showed her firefox, thunderbird and openoffice.org
writer. "I can see no difference to my PC?" - "Do you mind "k"
instead of "start"?" - "No, why should I?" - "Would you pay 100 EUR
more for Windows instead of Linux?" - "No, not a cent if there is
no difference for me." So she will become my testperson for a Linux
PC user that is neither a freak nor a normal user. Just a simple
simple user.
The second PC is new and uses MS Vista with firefox, thunderbird and Openoffice.org writer for renting rooms to guests. (They didn't ask me before shopping). Guess what they payed more? There were two users: A and B. Logged in as A. "password incorrect" ups. Logged in as B (no password - sic!). Clicked on "home of A" - "you need administrator privileges to proceed, confirm?" - yes. Had access to home of A. Coppied files to B. Opened user administration, changing password of A. "You need administrator privileges to procees, confirm?" - yes. Password was changed. Tested the same thing the other way round. Acts the same. So what the hell was that? And by the way: 3 GHz and 1 MB RAM. The feeling was equal to caliban.

Today we got 1 ton of wood bricks. I

neighbour. I got long arms now!
