Let’s get active
Today is a wonderful day, the Linux Day in Dornbirn – the place to gather my CAcert points to become an active assurer for the Web of Trust.
As it was possible to take the assurer test on site – god bless the inventor of wireless lan – I could start to assure people immediately and gain the first ‘Administrative Points’ which enables me to distribute 15 points at once by now.
Update: At the end of the day I could already grant 25 points.

Out for hunting
November 24th, 2009 by Stargazer
You know, it is hunting season and it is wonderful weather. As I am doing reenactment of the medieval scene, perfect weather to step out for a hunting trip. But regarding the financial crisis, my budget is cut down so I cannot afford an eagle to go on a hunting trip. But I am always a creative mind. Birds are birds, isn’t that the case?

Virtual machines vs clock
November 23rd, 2009 by Stargazer
Virtual machines and their clocks can be quite nasty – at least if I am working with them. Maybe it is because it is impossible to kick against virtual machines? Are they that nasty because they know they are safe?

Remember the Milk!
November 20th, 2009 by Stargazer
Today a colleague pointed me towards a nice little web service namedRemember The Milk. I am sure you all know about many little task list applications and stuff – one of the most famous is integrated in MS Outlook. So you might say, this service is nothing new especially that it is a playful website.

Another year has passed by and I grew older again, closer to the 30th birthday. Glad that getting older happens just once a year, although such days are always great fun!

aus dem tagebuch eines alten bikers 23
November 16th, 2009 by Grazer
das leben kann so ungerecht sein, jawohl! ungerecht und gemein! und wie! und das mir!
also, was geschehen ist? nun, vor ein paar tagen hat meine wing wegen stromproblemen mal wieder temporär den dienst quittiert. beim ersten mal ging’s ja noch mit anschieben, auch wenn das anschieben nicht grad einfach oder gar lustig war, aber selbst ist der mann und irgendwie hat’s ja geklappt… doch gestern wollte sie überhaupt nimmer anspringen, also ab auf das moped meiner holden angetrauten, doch abends im regen kam ich dann doch etwas in nöte… die magna ist eben viel agressiver als die wing und das kann auf regennasser fahrbahn leicht mal ärger machen, vor allem wenn es ein doch etwas ungewohntes bike ist…

Trash or No-Trash, that’s the question
November 9th, 2009 by Stargazer
Recently I came across a blog posting of Dominik who blogs at banym.de. In his article he mentioned that he keeps the installation CDs of all the old Linux distributions to make sure he can generate the old filesystem versions. As an old sysadmin, I disagree a little with that, because even recent filesystem tools have compatibility options implemented.
