Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll!
The Hurricane was all you can imagine from a festival and it of course started with the infamous „Helga!“ roamings. „Die Fantastischen Vier“ were better than I expected. I got lucky and stood directly in front of them … second in line. They also played old songs like „Tag am Meer“ I had never expected …
The MacGyver theme and then some
I was reading the ubuntuweblogs when a link led me to youtube. From there I somehow found the MacGyver theme in various forms: accordion, acoustic guitar, piano (and one that misses a few notes and ends quite awful I think), a brrrr keyboard, an even more brrr keyboard, a rock edit and a freak show. …

LDAP fun
Should you ever wonder why your users can login but fail to resolve their login name try making /etc/nsswitch.conf world readable…
Remember this when creating a Presentation
I often wonder about how bad Presentations can go. Garry Reynold wrote a nice post on how you should use „PowerPoint“. He talks about cognitive load and multimedia learning. Maybe, I should read some more of his blog …
Welcome back, commander!
Yesterday, I rewarded myself with playing the C&C: Tiberium Wars demo for finishing a first draft of the documentation for my last university project. It is just a draft, but it took me a long time to really put myself to it. I know it’s cheap, but I haven’t heard as nice a thing as …
