Posted on February 15, 2009 by Arthur

Via Slashdot, I found out that Debian “Lenny” (or 5.0, so you will) has been released. On February 14th. I can feel the Debian love at Slashdot. Seriously, this looks like a major release (or setback if you’re in the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2007 by Arthur

Damn you Debians

Posted on January 26, 2006 by Arthur

Can someone notify the Debian developers that their base installer of Sarge is getting more and more obnoxious? When doing an off-network install (and manually setting the network settings), the installer attempts to make a connection to Debian security. Not … Continue reading →

And then there was Debian!

Posted on May 30, 2004 by Arthur

Took all night: We were watching Master and Commander first, then The Others. However, the last DVD was apparently b0rken so I ended up installing Debian from, what was it, 11 to 2:30 AM. The good thing is that there … Continue reading →

Madness du Systeme Linuxi

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Arthur

The previous posting was actually supposed to be detailing the conversion of my DV-5 to Linux, a process that I have done so many times that I can do this with my eyes closed. Sort of. It took a bit … Continue reading →

Another slight of Postgres

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Arthur

Back almost 10 years ago, as mentioned probably a-many times, I exclusively used Debian to deploy Postgres database servers. That was mainly, because (officially) there were no Windows versions out yet, well, except for an older 7.2 version. My main … Continue reading →

A slight return to Postgres

Posted on July 14, 2012 by Arthur

Years ago, I used to set up postgres on Debian servers. For a couple of test, I had to install Postgres somewhere: Installing on Windows is generally a breeze, but not needing the third-party tools, I decided to go back … Continue reading →

Surface

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Arthur

Last week-ish, I was going to write something about Microsoft Windows 8. By now you must have heard and read about how the company is chopping up their OS to fit (well, it’s officially called “optimized for”) touch-enabled devices, which … Continue reading →

Data.

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Arthur

I woke up early with the thought of cleaning up and organizing this bunch of backup-CDs I’ve never touched since years. While I was tagging them one by one, I remembered this tool someone wrote for the MSX computer to … Continue reading →

Red

Posted on March 24, 2009 by Arthur

I can’t recall the link to this specific page where I took that screenshot, but yeah, it’s about the colour red and the emotions it invokes in men. I think the link was originally coming from Reddit (or Digg), but … Continue reading →

At your Runlevel

Posted on January 15, 2009 by Arthur

Earlier, I was reminded of the typical run-levels on Linux systems, particularly on Debian-flavoured distributions. For future reference1: Run level 0: System Halt Run level 1: Single User/No networking (“Safe Mode” for Windows connoisseurs). In this mode daemons won’t be … Continue reading →

Click. Clack.

Posted on January 12, 2009 by Arthur

Some stuff I ran into earlier. I read that Windows 7 (Microsoft much-touted successor of Windows Vista) is positioned as the ‘Linux Killer’ (original article at Computer World). From that article: The threat to Windows comes entirely from “netbooks” — … Continue reading →

I, Recurse

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Arthur

So, yeah: I was sitting at work and the snow starts falling down in the morning and before I know it, it’s chaos in town. On my way to King’s Square, I was most of the time sliding around or … Continue reading →
