On monday there were extremely heavy rainfall. This made it even more surprising that I was able to see the moon so clear and beautiful while driving home by night. It did motivate me to write the following Haikus which I want to share with

you:
full moon shining down
it is calming and peaceful
even when cloudy
in all its silence
not much that matters and counts
giving you comfort
just watch its bright light
it does not care for others

I think I can consider this issue the strangest problem that I ever had encountered. I am unable to enter @ or € (or any key that requires the alt-gr switch on German keyboard) in iceweasel, evolution, pidgin, gucharmap but am having no troubles

If anyone has any idea or hint what might be the cause of this I would be more than grateful! [Less]

Especially on grml64 we are running out of space and we are thinking about removing LaTeX from grml, which would save us 100MB of uncompressed space. We're talking about the following Debian packages:

If startpanic already shocked you, have a look at: http://www.making-the-web.com/misc/sites-you-visit/nojs/.
The latter version works without javascript so NoScript won't help you but the results are also not that great as it requires a

After almost a year a new phrack release is out there.
Check it out on: http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=66.
I'm especially looking forward to an article about radare which is a very promising looking reverse-engineering toolkit for *nixes with which I've been playing around recently.

Speedminton ist ein Ballspiel und gilt als Mischung aus Badminton, Squash und Tennis. Ich hab erst letzte Woche durch Zufall mitbekommen, dass es das gibt (scheint in Österreich noch ziemlich unbekannt zu sein?). Als alter Badminton-Hase hab ich mir
... [More]
dann so ein Speedminton-Set natürlich kaufen müssen und war heute das erste Mal spielen. Und ich muss sagen: Hammer!
Bei Speedminton fliegt der Ball schneller und weiter als bei Badminton und ist ziemlich windstabil. Weil man auch kein Netz braucht ist am offiziellen Moto “anywhere, anytime” echt was dran. Nach 1,5h Badminton und ~1h Speedminton bin ich heute ganz schön fertig.
Kann ich also nur weiterempfehlen. Um auf den Geschmack zu kommen: Speedminton-Video auf Youtube ansehen, den Artikel bei Wikipedia lesen und auf speedminton.de vorbeischauen.
Falls übrigens jemand in Graz passende Plätze zum Spielen (abgesehen vom Stadtpark) kennt freu ich mich über Tipps. [Less]

I just tried the new 10 beta version of opera and I have to say it feels shitty (or at least not better than older releases).
One of the new features that was announced by the opera people is a configurable speeddial. There are 3 new things I
... [More]
noticed. The first thing is a configuration dialog which allows you to change the number of speed dials:
While some people might find this nice it somehow sucks as the values are predefined and there is a much more flexible way of configuring that (~/.opera/speeddial.ini):
[Size]Rows=3Columns=6
With 10 beta you can also hide the speeddial. This is really neat as this wasn't possible before from what I know and some people seem to don't like it.
The dialog also allows you to set a background image to your speeddial. WTF, this is a browser, not my desktop
Another new feature I noticed is the possibility to expand the tab listing and pull it down so they show up with included screenshots.
There is no shortcut to open/close this but you have to do this with the mouse + I think this is really annoying while browsing, it's just too big and doesn't add much information while it's open if you don't intend to change the tab.
The most positive impression is that this version finally scores 100% in the acid 3 test!
One new feature left that really bugs me: Opera Turbo (F12). With this enabled opera behaves like opera-mini meaning you are sending every HTTP request to an opera server, get it back compressed and you render the compressed version. This should be useful for people with low bandwidths. I have no idea if this is more effective than just switching of images or other parts of the content but this is really a security/privacy no-go. For mobile devices it might makes sense as the bandwidth is almost always limited (though there is a lot of change in progress) but for desktop end user browser!? At least there should be a big fat privacy notice pinned to this option and naming it Opera Proxy instead of Turbo would also be very nice! [Less]
