I’m extracting all my CD’s to flac files but my girlfriend is using iPod and iTunes on Windows which won’t play flac files.

Just found this on the Ubuntu forums: Lenovo Blogs - Linux Follow Up I would be very interesting indeed :)

I have been learning a bit of Mono over the last couple of months and yesterday I decided that I wanted my code in a verison control system.

I was cleaning my (computer) desktop and found this video about a helpdesk from medieval times ( sadly it is in Norwegian :( ).

Today I got dual screen in Ubuntu working… I have been fiddling around with it a few times before but nothing seriously.

Last week I attended a Xen course on SLES10 (SP1 RC5).

At work today I found an old SCO evaluation CD.

This week I’ve been on a course to prepare for the Novell Certified Linux Engineer (CLE) which is required (and payed) by my employer.

Open Source ftw (sorry I’m mentally damaged from playing World of Warcraft, so I tend to use a lot of acronyms).

I think its kinda hidden.

For those who doesn’t know… a few years back I made the site www.debianart.dk which was supposed to be the center of graphics for Debian.

In the lastest version of Ubuntu (version 7.04 - Feisty Fawn) kernel modules for VMware Server is available in the package vmware-server-kernel-modules from Ubuntus package repository.

When I came home from work today I read Planet Gnome, I usually visit Planet Gnome several times a day so nothing new in that.

After buying my Squeezebox I wanted to rip all my music to a lossless music format to get maximum quality out of the little thing.

2 days ago I recieved my Squeezebox… finally I pulled my head out and bought one.

Last week I found this Avatar while browsing the Ubuntu community forums.

While on my winter vacation I played around with the Gtk.TreeView and the right click challanges.

Yesterday I needed an xsl transformation which could replace a specific attribute value in a xml file and keep the rest intact.

While working on implementing failover for a JBoss application in heartbeat I had it sometimes fail miserably.

One of our customers have a JBoss application which they wanted to monitor with a script (in the long run Heartbeat2).

As of right now I have moved my website to new server out in town on a 100MBit line, so it should be fairly fast.

Some time ago I think it was when I made the switch from Gaim 1.x to 2.x sending my instant messages with Ctrl + Enter stopped working.

I had a hard time figuring out how to capture a right click on a TreeView, which I needed to be able to make a context menu or popup menu or whatever you wanna call it.

Sometimes you have to get primitive … duh.

Today I used my Ubuntu Linux workstation at home for several hours.

Today I wanted to install Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10) from my USB DVD drive on my VMware Server (the free edition).

When I install a server I usually make a minimal install and put on the software which is needed for the task the machine is to perform.

This have been an awesome Christmas.

You can download smbldap-tools from their homepage… don’t!

Yesterday I updated my kernel on my laptop after a record uptime (for me on my laptop anyways ;)): 16:26:58 up 42 days, 7:21, 3 users, load average: 1.12, 1.46, 1.04 42 days without an update to the kernel in Ubuntu… I dunno if thats good or bad.

With the latest version of Windows Server 2003 R2 it is no longer needed to install Windows Services for UNIX, since this is now a part of Windows Server 2003, though not enabled by default.

First install a minimum SLES10 (only using selectiong Server Base).

Damn… never brag about uptime :-( Today I received a 2GB SD card which I’m going to use to store ssh and gpg keys on.

I rarely shut down my laptop, but I use suspend all the time.

I am looking into authenticating users on Solaris 9 via Active Directory (AD) as an LDAP server.

Trough the last year I have been really wanting to do something to my home infrastructure :) I got wires running all over, and my little trusty server makes to much noice.

For those who found my post about encryption of USB devices interesting yesterday… you might wanna keep an eye on this one which I stumbled upon it today.

Today I went to the Linuxforum BOF day where I attended a session about encrypting your personal files.

And you don’t even need any physical disks for it….

Well I couldn’t make my Atheros (ath0) work as a bridged network with VMware… but I made a workaround which I want to share with you guys.

Through the last week I have played around with CoovaAP on my Linksys WRT54GL… I was just too curious to try it out after my colleague Tomas told me about it :D CoovaAP is a slightly customized version of OpenWRT to make it easy to setup a wireless HotSpot

Today at work I got an error like the following while I tried to add a new user: ldapsam_add_sam_account: SID 'S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-3048' already in the base, with samba attributes I searched the net to find out what the problem was.

I just went through a lot of comments which was pending approval.

I’ve bought a Linksys wireless access point some time ago from FON, because I like the concept and it was really easy to setup also.

I just updated my style sheet so pre-tags containing long lines doesn’t mess with the layout.

Now I researched my VMware problem some more, and it has nothing to do with the link I posted in my last entry.

The bug I blogged about in a previous post seems to be known.

Wireless After installing Edgy Eft a couple of days ago I noticed a weird behavior of Network Manager.

I guess Storm Troopers need to take a dump sometimes also… or what he is doing :-D

Last night (this very early morning) I installed Edgdy Eft Knot 3 on my laptop at LinuxParty 2006 in Roskilde.
