Disabling RAID autodetection in Ubuntu
In: Linux
30 Nov 2007Last week I removed two mirrored hard disks from my old home server running Ubunut 6.06 LTS and put them into my new VDR. After that I was not able to boot the server again. It always stopped saying something about “… RAID autodetection …” So RAID autodetection is a nice feature when you want [...]
BlackBerry 9000 specs from BG
In: Blackberry
30 Nov 2007BoyGenius again is first to come out with some new informations about the upcoming BlackBerry 9000 devices: The BlackBerry 9100 will sport a screen with the dimensions of 480 x 320 (or maybe that’s 320 x 480), 1GB of on-board memory, and an Intel XScale PXA270 processor at 624MHz, clocking in slightly faster than the [...]
Debian Troubles with fake start-stop-daemon
29 Nov 2007Today I experienced a problem with my VDR linux system I never had in the last years on any linux system. I switched on my system and wondered why I could not connect with ssh. Then I realized that no service was running – no samba, no http, no vdr … I had to connect [...]
New version of Google maps
In: Blackberry
28 Nov 2007Today a new version of Google maps mobile was released. There are many small improvements in it but the biggest new feature is “My Location”. This feature shows you your location on the map without having GPS. It uses the GSM cell id. This is a nice feature for Curve users such as me without [...]
Those days
27 Nov 2007The last days were one of those when I ask myself: Do I really need a video recorder with a secure shell I had some troubles with my VDR. It started three weeks ago when suddenly after working without a problem for about half a year the screen went black. This was caused by an [...]
Fixing your families computer
In: Tools
21 Nov 2007Personally I bought myself this T-shirt some years ago but IÂ do not wear it as often as I should. The holiday season is coming fast and we should be prepared for parents, cousins and other family members asking us for help. ZDNet has a nice article on this subject. The best tip in my [...]
Firefox 3 Beta available
21 Nov 2007Today Firefox3 beta was released and I grabbed my copy from here. I want to use it side by side with my existing Firefox 2 installation. The new version is installed automatically into a separate folder so all I had to do is to set up a separate profile. I did this by running firefox.exe [...]

Weird game Crayon Physics by Kloonigames
In: Fun
19 Nov 2007Today I came across this video of a game called Crayon Physics: You can download this game from the developers blog. Seems like something with a high “addiction potential”. There will be a deluxe version of this free game soon. Check out the website and practice in the meantime
Drive safely
18 Nov 2007Last week I got my Parrot CK3200 hands-free car kit. After 40 minutes of work I had it installed in my car. It was very easy using the existing ISO connectors. The Parrot CK3200 allows to connect up to five different bluetooth phones. It synchronizes the address book an call lists. The voice dial commands [...]
