FVWM2


FVWM2 Configuration

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.

FVWM2 Config-File

I my case this file is supposed to reside withing the "~/.fvwm/" directory. Emacs inspired.

Fetchmail


Fetchmail is a commandline tool for downloading your emails from a remote server to your localhost. Since the graphical configuration tool never worked for me under ubuntu I was forced to manually configure fetchmail, this is not particularly difficult but I keep forgetting the proper formatting. so...

Emacs Configuration

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.

Emacs Config-File

Quite a bit of it is probably just standard ubuntu-configuration. Look to the comments for guidence.

Avancez!

To the breach once more?

It has been a while since my last posting - the main reason for this is the fact that I don't have any readers... A natural consequence of not putting anything useful on the web ;-)

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!

The Razer Krait

New acquisition.

Today I bought the Razer Krait infrared, high-resolution (1600dpi) mouse. And I like it. It is not the best thing out there - but for me it is the perfect choice. It has a modest price

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.

brAnd - new single


A brAnd new single

On the 8th of May the incredible new duo "brAnd" released their first single. The song entitled "Take The Stand" was written by Alex Brage and Niclas Bergstrand to rally support for using products certified with the fair trade symbol. The use of these products ensure that the workers who produce them are treated fairly. brAnd joins in with the fair trade movement to do their part. Guess how you could do your bit? Try checking this song out - for a start :^)

System Log - star date...

This is my personal system-log. In this file a have tried to incorporate everything that has ever been a problem on my systems and and the manner in which I solved the problems.

This information is primarily here so that I can access it myself but, of course, anyone who finds it useful is welcome to use it. Keep in mind that unless you are running some variant of Linux this will probably not help you very much.
