newbornRight now she's harrasing her mother every other hour to revel in milk... She is gaining in weight.
Darkness prevails. My shrimp is dead.At about 20:00 Swedish time my dear shrimp passed away :-( During a purging of snails from the aquarium, the shrimp met with a sudden and violent death when a enormous humanoid foot brutally invaded its personal space.
Somehow the shrimp had managed to get out of the aquarium and, through some incredible efforts of gargantuan proportions, had crawled one meter into the living-room - where it met its unfortunate fate.
After a brief goodbye-ceremony the remainders of the dear pet was lovingly wrapped in toilet paper and respectfully flushed down the toilet.
(Som vanligt är det inte den faktiska räkan på bilden som har dött.)
palm-mail.sh Script that I use to:
1. start fetchmail
2. start pop3d
3. establish a ppp connection to the palm.
4. let the palm download the mail.
5. then kill pop3d & pppd.
palm-ppp.sh
Basically a script I use to connect the palm to the internet through the desktop machine using ppp.
Both of these scripts are based on different things I picked up on the internet and they are not very well written - but they do the job.
I love this gtk2-theme! It makes the desktop warmer and easier on the eyes
gtk-theme:
window-border: mist (gnome-builtin)
background:The-Good-Times-1.jpg (kde-builtin)
These windowmanagers are perfect for use on a resource hungry system. There is some kind of zen-like beauty about them that makes me want to use them every now and again.
TWM Config-File -- CTWM Config-File
I can't remember how many times I've started over from scratch with this one! I always misplace this configuration file but only after spending hours on makin FVWM2 do something cool. This time... Things are going to be different.
I my case this file is supposed to reside withing the "~/.fvwm/" directory. Emacs inspired.
Emacs - Edit MACroS
Emacs can be hard to handle at times. And I have a tendency to forget my personal configuration whenever I reinstall Linux so I'm putting my emacs-configuration on my webpage. For future reference.
Quite a bit of it is probably just standard ubuntu-configuration. Look to the comments for guidence.
Lately I have been busy with what is called a "Tekniskt Basår" ( lit. Technical base-year) at Chalmers University of Technology. In a way have partly accomplished one of the goals set for myself in my cv. But I still have a long, long way to go, though!
New acquisition.A while back I had some trouble with the wireless Fujitsu-Siemens keyboard/mouse kombo that was included with the computer. It developed a nasty habit of picking up the keystrokes of a neighbours wireless keyboard! I was minding my own web-buisiness as usual when suddenly someone typed "Red Dragon" into an input field of a webpage! unless the wireless reciever had suddenly developed some sort of preemptive mindreading capability, it would be an understatement to say that this was a problem.
I spoke to with the company that I am leasing the computer from and they sent me a new wireless keyboard/mouse combo (same brand, though) and believe it or not but the very same thing happened again! Only - this time the same "someone" was searching for "borat".
After hitting the ceiling a couple of times I set out to get myself some unwireless periferals. Mouse-wise I stumbled across the Razer Krait (named after some snake I presume) for a measly 350 SEK. Being the last of the highend infrared gaming mice it will serve my purposes nicely. All I need is a good mouse plain and simple.
I'm using it under ubuntu dapper drake (6.06 LTS) and it workes fine. Bear in mind that you probably have to tweak your mouse-settings in gnome slightly.
For a simple person like me this mouse seems to be perfect. There are only three buttons left, right and middle/scroll (being a modest gameplayer, that's all I need). I you're an advanced gamer you would problably rather be looking at the newer 2000dpi laser mice that are available but if all you're looking for is "a good mouse" this one ought to do nicely.
