I have been wanting to do this for a long time; Running OS X emulated on my Linux workstation. Mostly for testing, compiling, trying out things. When someone calls and wants help setting up his Mail.app, it is very useful for me to see how the menus, etc. look. Found an iPC 10.5.6 iso that … [Read more…]
Just installed the latest Ubuntu (10.04 LTS) on an old iBook G4 (1.4 Ghz, 1Gb Memory) and everything worked out of the box :) It feels alot faster than OSX :) Not sure if I’m gonna keep it running Linux or re-install Leopard.

Det er jo dejligt nemt med network-manager og vpnc, men jeg manglede ‘group password’ som lå gemt i Cisco VPN klienten i Windows. Der findes heldigvis et cisco-decrypt værktøj der dekryptrer det, så det nemt kan indtastes i f.eks. Ubuntu’s VPN klient. Det findes også som cgi form, nemmere kan det ikke blive :) http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bin/cisco-decode
On my server i have several Linux Vservers running. This works really well, but i am missing some sort of fail-over. I have read articles about drdb8 and active-passive setups, but I don’t want something to complicated. To solve my problem, I have written a small script to rsync a vserver remotely. The script will be … [Read more…]
Jeg har læst på version2.dk, at Lyngby Taarbæk kommune tilbyder OpenOffice kontorpakken til deres lærere og elever. Det er vel heller ikke rimeligt at forlange at elever og/eller lærere bruger licens penge til både Microsoft Windows og Microsoft Office kontor pakken. For mig er det frie valg vigtigt: jeg kan vælge den gratis OpenOffice eller … [Read more…]

Har længe kigget efter et EPG plugin, der virker med de danske sat kanaler (VIASAT, Canal Digital). De fleste plugins har kun virket med SKY eller andre udenlandske kanaler. Jeg fandt EPG-Evolution (http://epg.evolution.project-x.us/index.php) og installerede det manuelt på min IPBOX-350. Og det ser ud til at virke fremragende :) I have been looking for a … [Read more…]
