I updated Thunderbird at work from 0.4 to 0.5 and now “Use secure authentication” does not work anymore (but “Use secure connection” works still – puh). And the windows-Enigmail-Plugin did not work so I had to install the “general” one. Argl! At least Firefox (AKA Firebird 0.8 – I hate this renaming stuff!) works as […]

Ok, today I got my order from rotation.at with a Samsung harddisc (for backups at work), a papst-cooler and a northbridge cooler (ZM-NB47J). First of all I could not remove the existing cooling element on the active northbridge-cooler from the motherboard, at least I could remove the active cooler and I placed the papst-cooler in […]

Today I set up a FreeBSD-box at work. It was hard work because FreeBSD needed the disk-values from BIOS but with activated harddisk it did not boot from CD-ROM. Ok, finally it worked and now it’s running: [mika@bufo: ~]% uname -imrs FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC i386 GENERIC [mika@bufo: ~]% df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted […]

Yes, XMMS randomizer sucks – bugs at xmms.org (pointers by Karl Voit) – possible solution: [mika@tweety: ~]% apt-cache show imms | sed -ne “/Description/,/\./p” Description: Unobtrusive, automatic, and learning XMMS playlist manager IMMS is an intelligent playlist plug-in for XMMS that tracks your listening patterns and dynamically adapts to your taste.
