Copy/Paste von mur.at: mur.at Streitgespräche am 05.12.2013 und 06.12.2013 – 19 Uhr Piep, Piep, Piep, wir haben uns alle lieb? Von wegen! Mur.at möchte die Macht des guten alten Streitgesprächs, des gepflegten Meinungsaustauschs, der erbitterten Kontroverse, der lautgedachten Erörterung, des abendlichen Gedankenaustausches, des freundlichen Meinungsgefechts, etc. wiederbeleben! Darum richten wir erstmals an zwei aufeinander folgenden […]

Edmund Haselwanter­ hat mich eingeladen beim ersten Treffen der Infracoders Graz über das Thema “Continuous Integration im Rechenzentrum” zu reden.

So while testing Proxmox VE 3.0 RC1 I had the need to reboot the system into a kernel version different than the one being the default in the bootloader GRUB. “lilo -R …” worked fine in the past, but with GRUB it’s not as trivial on the first sight to get its equivalent. I remembered […]

Following up on the #newinwheezy game: Debian/wheezy is the first Debian release which ships packages from the Grml system. Grml became an official Debian Derivative and I’m very happy that three major projects of Grml found their official way into Debian: grml2usb: install Grml system / ISO to usb device grml-debootstrap: wrapper around debootstrap for […]

Ich bin zurück von der Open Source Data Center Conference 2013, sehr schön war es. Die Vortragsfolien zu meinem Vortrag “Continuous Integration im Rechenzentrum” habe ich soeben hochgeladen: PDF (4,4MB)

Linux is a great platform for dealing with all kinds of different file systems, partition tables etc. But one of the few annoying situations when working in IT forensics are Microsoft Windows dynamic disks, AKA LDM (Logical Disk Manager). Thanks to libldm’s ldmtool this is no longer true. A short demonstration from a real-life IT […]

I’ll be speaker at the Open Source Data Center Conference 2013 in Nuremberg/Germany on 17th and 18th April, talking about Continuous Integration/Delivery in the data-center. I was speaking at OSDC back in 2009 and very much enjoyed the conference – so I’m totally looking forward to OSDC 2013, hope to see you there!

2012 was a very special year for me, so it’s worth some words. In April the Grazer Linuxtage event took place, being one of the major IT events in Austria nowadays. I’m one of its original founders and after being part of the main organisation team for ten times I decided to leave the organisation […]
