The calendar told me, its two and a half weeks until the math exams.
So now is the time to think about starting learning several hours a day or wait for the next date.
I hate learning, especially if i don’t understand anything and especially when I am not sure if the invested time will be invested successfull.

Here is my blurb of the day. It is about communication media in Opensource development.
Where is all the snow gone…
Only 24 hours later all the snow is gone.
At the moment this blog is becoming a photoblog.
But I plan to write a longer article later today 🙂
Book of the Week
I just read “The Double-Bass” by Patrick S�skind (author of the famous bestseller “Perfume”). It is a short one-person monologue from a double-bass player about his relationship with the double bass. He is quite frustrated, because nobody notices him, there are no solos for double-bass. The double bass is his friend, beloved and enemy. He thinks the double bass prevents him, from living a better life.
In December I had seen an excellent performance by Wolfgang Hartmann in Hamburg. He is performing “The Double-Bass” since 18 years.
Third snow
When I woke up this morning, everything was white. It is snowing for the third time this year. The winter strikes back.
Stylesheet tuning
I blame the sheep, for spending the whole night tuning my blog’s stylesheets.
When I came home this evening, lofi had just started playing with his blog. (No link, I will wait until there is some content, that is worth linking). I noticed that my blog is looking very defaultish. I also felt an increasing dislike of the Times caps headings. So I started tuning, I took some ideas from lauri’s new design and I even digged out my old CSS Book (by Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos).
I have also noticed that there are at least two CSS Bugs in the new Mozilla Firefox Browser.
Now I am quite satisfied with the Index. What do you think about it?
Picture of my “Serverroom”
Equipped with a digicam and a pocket mirror, I made the second attempt to determine, if i have one of those problematic capacitors. The Nikon Coolpix 775 isn’t really able to take closeup pictures, but i finally succeeded. Unfortunately 3 of the 9 possible Capacitors are RLZ 0333. I have already sent an email to my supplier.
Here is a picture of my “server room”. You can see huckfinn, olga, polly, becky and the Laserprinter (from front to back).
package numbers
Just to have some nice content today, here are the numbers of packages per architecture produced by the last bento package cluster run:
| i386 | 7905 |
| sparc64 | 7346 |
| ia64 | 7243 |
| alpha | 6253 |
| amd64 | 5905 |
Since I fixed a lot of amd64 packages recently, with the next run, there could be more amd64 packages than alpha packages. I will keep you informed.
Medion–
Today I received a parcel from Medion. It contained the replacement for an external hard disk, I bought in December, that didn’t work. It took a month until they got a replacement from Germany. But guess what happend when I plugged it in. Nothing. The new one is broken too :-(.
I am already hearing the voices: “You get what you pay for”, “Don’t buy hard disks at a supermarket”
Asus K8V Deluxe: Problems with capacitors.
Read in the new c’t magazine about problems with the Capacitors on the Asus K8V Deluxe.
If your capacitors are labeled “RLZ 0333” you should contact your vendor.
Check out the Asus Taiwan FAQ for details. I wasn’t able to check if my board is affected, because I had no flash light and no pocket mirror.
