My Day With SLAX
Post-post disclaimer: I described here my experiences with SLAX 4.2. New SLAX 5 is much better and can e.g. switch automounting off. Also the paragraph on fsck is not true, because SLAX does not use it. Strange things happen in my head.
Several weeks ago I burned SLAX, the live Linux, onto a CD. I wanted to try it, but because my Slackware was working well I did not have to. But, suddenly, the opportunity was there: my hard drive failed.

We did it again with 1.8
Yes, version 1.8 was released almost on time, but without any big changes, only all accents in experimental typefaces were fixed.
But at least we jumped over one percent in freshmeat.net's Popularity rank.
Mozilla Firefox: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Because Slackware switched to Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Foundation nearly abandonned Mozilla Suite I thought I'll give Firefox a try.

I Know What I Did Last Summer
These freezing days remind me of last summer when I went on a trip to Norway. Falling snow, freezing wind, temperature below zero. Oh, warm memories. I know what I did, because I had a camera. I can't show whole video (you know, my friends are shy), but here is at least short teaser (1.3 MB in size).
Fighting The SVG Beast
Whole yesterday's night I was fighting this beast. It's nice technology, but it's not big win on Linux. Either there is a beta and sometimes crashing plugin for Mozilla from Adobe or standalone Squiggle the SVG browser that comes with Batik which supports only a subset of SVG (e.g. EcmaScript support is not complete).
Hi. I Am Additional Second Second...
Tonight I saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Very funny family (sort of) movie. Great Jim Carrey and, which is very surprising, children I don't hate! That's very rare.
