By the time i had a poor ThinkPad 660E my way to interact with the computer was IceWM. It was small, light, configurable and it had everything i needed. Or almost.
Now that the frenziness of changing names to ice* has started, i keep wondering why not renaming icewm to iceicewm.
And no, abcde will not be renamed, although iceicebaby will be a good name for hotbabe. ;)
abcde needs one more upload and a pray to debian-release to accept it for etch (2.3.99.6 has some problems, and 2.3.99.7 aka 2.4 should solve most of them).
On (un)related news, trac 0.10.3~rc1 was accepted into etch. Is a bugfix release, and should have no regressions, over 0.10.2, which was a bit messy. 0.10.3 proper will be uploaded tonight, and it is just a re-brand over 0.10.3~rc1 with no changes in the code.
As a reaction to what is happening in Debian, following the renames of Firefox to iceweasel, Thunderbird to icedove, Mozilla to iceape, cdda2wav to icedax,… (also notice the lack of capital letters, in the original names) abcde will be renamed to icetheripper, trac to icekeepmeupdated and spamassassin to iceshitmailkiller.
Blah…
UPDATED: icedax, not iceadx
David. Rockbox just integrated last.fm logging so that you can use it to push plays of your music. And it plays open formats.
And the winner is:

It makes me feel sad. Lars will not get his
tattoo:
Everyone else is getting drunk, and it affects me. I make the silly bet about Debian releasing on time: if we do, I’ll get a Debian tattoo. Not to worry, I win either way.
Me wonders when Debian will reach to 400K.
I got a new hackergotchi. I was tired of my tie. Credits for the pic go to Can, who took the pic on a party while i was DJing. Ersen also rocked the place.
It should solve some nasty bugs that showed up in 0.10.1 which were triggered under specific circumstances. Testing in our test machine did not find them, but once in production they were easy to spot.
When people hear that Jesus is meeting Moises for they are planning to have a beer together.
Last night I figured out I cannot sleep when I have a song in my head that repeats itself like a broken record, and I cannot identify who is the author. So I had to get my RockBox powered iPod and plug the bugs on my ears. 7 songs later (around one hour of music listening) I entered Morpheus’ world with a grin in my face.
Music makes me
happy.
Just published the fifth annual Reporters Without Borders Worldwide Press Freedom Index:
Northern European countries once again come top of the Index, with no recorded censorship, threats, intimidation or physical reprisals in Finland, Ireland, Iceland and the Netherlands, which all share first place.
It is just one more reason..
I just published
another mix.
I have been lately concentrating on my DJ career, by playing on the radio and trying to get my name in as many mouths out there as possible.
But yeah, I am still doing my Debian homework.
The information i used for my smartcard was obtained from the following links:

Dear lazyweb.
I have the following setup:
INTERNET (ADSL)
[192.168.255.1]
–> 192.168.255.x
[eth0:192.168.255.2]
(SERVER)
[eth1:192.168.10.1]
(WIFI wrt54g) [192.168.10.2]
‘–> 192.168.10.x
The configuration is like described to be able to activate OpenVPN at some poing in the future (it worked at some point in the past but it started breaking apart).
Now, the moment i activate Xen with bridge, the whole thing falls apart. I cannot connect from the wireless to internet.
I have been playing with brctl and etables and iptables and so on, but i have not figured out how to make it work without problems. I have been getting different results: being able to connect from the wifi network to the server, being able to connect from the server to internet, sometimes the eth0 device gets like frozen and i cannot reach the ADSL modem even after switching off the whole bridging and network configuration, stopping Xen and running the “ifup eth0″ magic.
Any ideas are more than welcome. Even if it just a “basics of bridging” document ;)
I have received some requests (as comments) to publish the info i have about the USB key. I will do that soon, when I manage to get my home ADSL working again…
From the BBC:
Airlines have been threatened with fines of $6,000 per passenger or withdrawal of landing rights if they fly to the US without supplying the data, which American officials use to try to identify potential terrorists.
But the airlines could face prosecution under national data protection laws in EU member states if they do hand over the information.
Passengers on any flights that failed to supply the data to the US authorities would also risk being held up for hours at US immigration.
I dont want to be treated as a criminal.
Joey points out he could have
saved Lilo’s life.
A bit over 2 years ago I had the same feeling, when
Ranty and Erconde died on a car accident, 700Km after I left the car asking them if they really did not want me to drive with them, so that we could share the driving times (Erconde did not have a driving license).
In my case it affected me in ways I could not have seen happening, to the point that my (back then) girlfriend and best-friend-ever are not a close part of my life anymore.
Lilo is no more.
Yet I am glad
Phil is alive.

I have also been looking for a
program that can lock my X session with an arbitrary password or a combination of keys without much luck. When my dog was at home she used to lay her head on my keyboard and type random strings on irc channels.
Anyone?
