Søren har lovet at passe på katten (og huset?), mens hans forældre er ude og rejse, og jeg er taget med for at “hjælpe” ham. Dvs. et par dage med intenst druk, sol, grill, video og computer-nørden.

Jeg har allerede brugt tiden på, bl.a. at kigge på VMwares nye gratis server og så har jeg endelig fået skiftet min tidligere udbyder, dht ud med unoeuro. Selvom jeg måske ikke bryder mig meget om deres navn håber jeg på at blive lidt mere tilfreds med deres service. Redelegeringen af name-servers er vist stadig i gang som jeg skriver dette, men nu er det vist bare et spørgsmål om tid. Jeg har også gået og overvejet at flytte min blog fra livejournal til mit eget domæne, men nu må vi se om jeg får taget mig sammen.

På det lidt mindre nørdede plan så tager søren og jeg nok til stranden snarest – vejret er jo lige til det! (Selvom det nu også er rart at side i en have med en trådlås bærbar og nørde og nyde livet.

Sommer er nu den bedste tid på året…

Support? jaah tak

Jeg modtog en mail fra Tele2adsl i dag. Der var jo lidt problemer med faktureringen da Esben flyttede, idet internet abonomenet stod i hans navn, så han blev ved med at modtage regningerne. Det var jo ikke godt, så jeg sendte dem en mail d. 28. september 2005, hvor jeg bad om at de sendte fremtidige regninger til mig.
I dag fik jeg så svar tilbage om at de fremover ville sende regningerne til mig på min adresse. Det er jo fint de endelig vil gøre det, men en svartid på ca. 1½ måned kan da ikke være acceptabelt for sådan et firma, kan det?

Intet er så slemt at det ikke er godt for noget

Min hjemme pc røg sig en tur ved en dårlig blanding af en strøm-afbrydelse og en fejl jeg lavede. Så jeg har brugt det meste af dagen idag på at geninstallere den. Det betyder at det hele ikke virker, men betyder også at jeg kan gennemgå hvad jeg skal beholde og ikke skal – og at jeg bl.a. har fået installeret apache2 og fundet ud af at der er en gallery pakke til debian. Cool stuff.

freenet stuff

On monday I got some help with some php from my friend Søren H. It was not a lot of fancy things I needed done, but it was more that I could do myself, and since Søren knows quite a bit more php than me it did not take him long to show me the syntax and the functions I needed. Anyway, what I needed done is done (and you can’t really see it directly from the outside), but you can go here: sbc.lir.dk/distribution/ to download freenet (if sourceforge is acting up), or my seednoes.ref file, if the ones you have are old and/or not working for you. (Of course you should go to the official freenet site as your first option and only use the above link in case all else fails.)

Three Cheers

Huzzar huzzar! I finally got my printer working. For a very long time I just used my old laptop for any printing or scanning I needed done, because I did not want to bother with installing the printer, but now I finally got around to doing it. It took a little bit of googling, but now it works – both the printer and the scanner!

First post – meta

First post and all that. I feel that, before i go on actually posting what would be “normal” blog content i should take a few lines to explain/justify why i have started blogging, why i have started blogging with Live Journal and what kind of content will be in this blog.

I have wanted to start a blog for quite some time now (months?) and actually had a running blog on my own home computer running WordPress. But even though that gave me a lot of options and freedoms i also gave me lots of problems. The software had to be kept updated, the computer had to be online all the time and so on. So i realized that if i used one of the free blog-sites on the net someone else would have to bother about all that, and i could consentrate on writing. After a (quick) look at some different sites, I picked live journal. It is (currently) witout banner adds, runs on free software and seems “nice”. I did not pick live journal for it’s communitys as that is not really what i’m looking for, but now that it is there it may be a feature i will take advanteage of at some later point in time.

Don’t expect this blog to be much different than so many others. There will proberly be the same rambeling, daily stories and general comments on the world that surrounds me as you can find in any other blog, but it is mine and i will try to get the best out of it. Note also that i do not write this blog for the reader but primarily for my self to give me somewhere public to express my views on things.

Also, as english is my second language, I may from time to time switch to writing danish entries. Time will tell. (And neither in english or in danish will spelling be a primary consern of mine. Live with it – noone is forcing you to read this – hopefully.)
