On friday evening, after I have finished work, I walked through Hamburg, and searched for tuning my internet speed at home. I am so confused about my slow DSL 1000 connection so I went through the Spitalerstraße on the way to T-Home / T-Mobile.
I looked arround and saw many people, but one young lady looked and me and smiled. She ran towards me and I said: “Hey what’s up? Not too fast.” She began investigating me about what I think of the WWF and what I think of their projects, specially rescueing a forest, that is twice as big as the country France. She needed me to donate to this project.  But that was not important for me. She smiled, she was cute. Then I asked her: “If you gonna kiss me, I will sign the contract (I pointed with my finger on my cheek). She said, that she’s afraid that she can’t do that. So I said to her, that this way I won’t sign – and said good bye.

That’s where all happened

On my way back from T-Home and no updates on my internet connection speed, I saw more than the girl from before talking in the middle of the street and I looked and smiled to the ladies. I was almost left arrount the corner but chose to get back to them. As I arrived I asked: “Who does?” About five seconds later I had a kiss on my cheek and I signed the paper. The girls applauded an screamed and all the people at the street looked at us. That was a very cool and funy experience.

I hope you enjoyed my little story.

Cheers and Sunshine

Hi outta there

Since this Tuesday (evening)  I’m the proud owner of a new ASUS Eee PC 1005ha-H in black. It comes with the Intel Atom N280 which has 60 Mhz more and is 20 percent more energy efficient. I’ve changed the memory so that there 2 GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM built-in now.

I have installed the Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix (jaunty) and the pre-installed Windows XP Home. Now it’s multi-boot.

I had to do some research getting the network interfaces to work (wired and wireless).

Do this for wired network:

First, download the  AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
Then do the following…

tar -xzvf AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko

With the now running wired network do

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

Now all interfaces should run.

Further, abut the acpi-hotkeys: The scripts will be included in the next release of ubuntu in the 2.6.29 Kernel. There is no fix for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/262679

Thank you for reading!

PS: I’m still searching people who will contribute to nautilusgit, my new project.

tar -xzvf AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko

Hello out there,

yesterday I registered myself at twitter.com and made my new own design. There are a few tweets out and I hope you can follow me. Twitter is a microblog-plattform where you can “tweet” sending short messages with a maximum capable number of characters (140).

So I would be pleased if you follow me. Everything will be allright then.
