… down a drain called World of Warcraft.

I installed Dapper Drake on my laptop and it went pretty well.

2 weeks ago I attended LinuxForum both as a exhibitor with my work (Casalogic) and as a speaker.

Last friday I got a new computer.

Since last time I blogged I have filed another consistensy bug for GNOME… but it seems people confuse consistensy with a specific behavior.

The last 4 months my battery life on my laptop has becomming really bad.

I use GNOME both at work and at home and I love it.

After the 1.8.0 patch World of Warcraft doesn’t work for me again.

Some time ago a friend of mine introduced me to Pure Pwnage, and yesterday I took the time to watch all episodes.

Yesterday evening while struggeling to keep up with work I noticed my internet connection was acting strangly.

Today I recieved my Ubuntu Hoary CD’s YAY… To bad I have been running Breezy for almost a month now :-D Anyways - I got a version for Power PC and for AMD 64… I know just for whom ;)

A few days ago I updated my Ubuntu Breezy (developer preview of the new Ubuntu Linux), and the next day X (The grapical environment) wasn’t able to start.

A few days ago i tried to make Sid Meiers Pirates run again with WINE.

I have moved my server from my parents low bandwith to my own low bandwidth DSL connection… so I’m the only one (when I’m at home) who enjoys my speedy weblog :-D

For some time now I have been trying to switch to Dirvish (from rdiff-backup) mostly because you can use a limit bandwidth which is a very important factor for me.

After reading a post on some Gentoo forum where someone said that they didn’t need the memory hack for Cadega to run World of Warcraft after using kernel 2.6.12, I gave it another shot.

After my success with installing Ubuntu Breezy I wanted to rip 2 new CDs I got today.

…well it didn’t come working out of the box :-D I installed Hoary from CD and upgraded Hoary packages from the internet (though I dont think upgrading was nessesary).

To night I tried to play a few games with WINE (NOT Cadega) on my Ubuntu Hoary system.

I have to try this applet out for size.

My GNOME bugs - only 2 so far… not much.

The last couple of days I have tinkered with a new antivirus / antispam server at work.

This is who I am… I wonder if anyone ended up beeing Darth Vader.

Today I implemented a strage server at a customer… the result wasn’t satisfying.

Yesterday I translated the danish “getting started coding” guide into english.

Several times I have had “great fun” converting filenames from the old 8-bit locales to use the new UTF-8 locales.

At work we have several servers running Debian anb because we are multiple persones maintaining them we end up having software (packages) installed that no one remember the reason for.

After alot of tutoring by my great colleague Frank Bille I have wrote a small, yet good patch for FriFinans.

I found gnome-blog a while back which is a small application from which you can add entries to you weblog.

Last week I was in Paris with my girlfriend and my sister and her boyfriend.

The first thing i did when I returned from vacation in Paris with my girlfriend was to check out all my regular open source information websites to keep me up to date (More on Paris later).

The Open Source accounting system FriFinans has got a new homepage.

Yesterday I got an idear for a layout for my weblog, and today I actually took the time to realize it.

YEAH!

After I stumbled upon the cool Markdown syntax and the Markdown text parser, some time ago.

I really wanted to attend GUADEC but the trip gets to expensive because I don’t have a car.

I have bought 1GB RAM for my laptop and it now has a total of 1.5GB RAM…. it really rocks!

After the World of Warcraft patch update today WINE 20050310 no longer runs WoW.

Well Jakub Steiner thinks so… I dunno if I’m a weak person easily subjected to others opinion but I think he is on to something here :-) Splash screen bringing the truth Splash screen bringing the horrible truth

Just wanted to say that now magically danish special characters works.

A few days ago I tired to get World of Warcraft to work under Linux using WINE (Not WineX - now know as Cadega).

I’m now Level 1 LPI certified.

Countless times have I struggled with MP3 encoding under Linux.

I have been looking for a portable DVD/CD drive to add the only function my laptop dosn’t have.

Today I found this Debian repository for WINE.

I have been battling with Ubuntu to create a Debian package with my wallpapers from Debian Art.

While I installed WINE on Ubuntu I went to WINE’s website and read some of their weekly newsletters.

I have migratet my Debian user profilen to Ubuntu and it is now officially my primary home workstation distribution.

I’m really impressed with this Linux distribution.

I have packaged the TIFF CMYK GIMP plugin I found a while back.
