Live and let live
Looking at the IT world, there are many systems to work with and many arguments against them. It’s amazing, but it’s common that users flame each other. Linux guys pick on Windows users, Windows users hit apple. In the end, everybody flames everybody. Fun?
But let’s face it: Every system got its advantages and disadvantages. You can just choose what to struggle with and rant about either Linus, Bill or Steve. Remember – nobody’s perfect.

Mac-Tip
July 15th, 2010 by Stargazer
Screenshots are cool for technical support tasks as they are useful for analyzing error messages. I noticed that Apple users usually send quite many screenshots (as I get them quite often).
After a while a friend told me how it works. To capture the whole screen, press:
cmd + shift + 3
If you just need a small area of the screen, use:
cmd + shift + 4
The pictures finally gets saved to your desktop.

A MacBook
June 28th, 2010 by Stargazer
I have to admit, I didn’t really look at Macintosh. Well – disregarding the apples in the store of course. But since quite some time, I am having to deal with those systems. So I got one.

A portable friend on the road
June 5th, 2010 by Stargazer
Looking at the current mobile phones, it seems like those little companions would like to be a notebook replacement. But to be honest, something’s missing – and that’s a full keyboard – a keyboard that allows you to type as used to.

aus dem tagebuch eines alten bikers 36
June 4th, 2010 by Grazer
mittlerweilen bin ich schon etwas mehr als ein jahr goldwinger. es wird an der zeit, einmal eine zwischenbilanz über diese zweirad-beziehung zu ziehen und vorsichtig in die zukunft zu blicken, sofern es eine geben kann… immerhin ist eine goldwing unbestritten eine eigene kategorie motorrad, welche mit nichts aus dem herkömmlichen spektrum zu vergleichen ist.

Another reason to use Linux?
May 29th, 2010 by Stargazer
There are many reasons for me to use Linux – one of them is the WGA checking which currently has the nerve to brandmark my Windows 7 as a “non genuine copy” since I’ve applied the latest updates. To improve the situation, this happens on a Saturday night.

AC/DC in Wels
May 22nd, 2010 by Stargazer
Saturday was a big day – in fact it was THE big day, as it was the day when AC/DC performed in Wels (Austria). I have to admit, I have never seen a place that muddy – but to be hones – even a hailstorm couldn’t wreck the feeling at the concert as they played Thunderstruck.
