Thu Feb 04 21:25:36 2010 GMT: Hayek vs. Keynes Sat Jan 09 19:48:02 2010 GMT: The Big Freeze: Lydiard Park Sat Jan 09 19:20:38 2010 GMT: GStreamer ALSA Bug From time to time my xfce4-volumed and xfce4-mixer-plugin get into a state where they consume 100% CPU. I have now been able to find the corresponding Ubuntu xfce4-volumed bug and track it further down to a GStreamer bug. Essentially, GStreamer gets confused when a sound device (like a USB headset) is unplugged. Fri Jan 08 20:52:56 2010 GMT: Acer Ferrari WLAN Update I have now been able to successfully connect to a public wireless LAN under Linux with my Acer Ferrari, so the WLAN issues mentioned appear to be limited to this specific ad-hoc network configuration. BTW, Swindon is to become the first town in the UK to offer free wireless internet to all residents. And quite interestingly, BT has now revealed that it is planning to upgrade two exchanges in Swindon (Blunsdon and Toothill) for fibre-to-the-cabinet.

BTW, I am currently backing up via webdav to mydrive.ch using my own webdav scripts to compress and encrypt the files on the fly. It's completely free for up to 2 GB of data... Mon Dec 07 20:34:26 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Update From further discussions on the opera.linux newsgroup, my understanding is that IPv6 has essentially been disabled on Opera (for Linux AMD64?) because they can't figure out when to use IPv6 and when to go for IPv4 only (because the machine might not have IPv6 connectivity). Tue Dec 01 18:38:13 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Bug Reported Based on initial feedback in the opera.linux newsgroup, I have now filed a proper bug report (DSK-272658) for the IPv6 issues I am seeing in Opera 10.10. Let's see if this will be worked on or fixed... Mon Nov 30 20:51:55 2009 GMT: No IPv6 in Opera 10.10 Sun Nov 29 20:22:24 2009 GMT: Linux KVM Sun Nov 22 17:19:03 2009 GMT: Test-driving the Ferrari Sun Nov 15 19:37:11 2009 GMT: Koala Driving a Ferrari Sat Nov 07 12:33:04 2009 GMT: cmeerw.net Domain Transferred to Gandi | ||||||
