I got a new HDD recently and linked /home to a new partition mounted on /data/, /data/home/. Just like I did a dozen times before. Now a realized, that my pdf viewer evince (and surely some other programs) aren’t working anymore. Evince crashes with this error message: (evince:22792): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the

VDR streams very well with the streamdev-plugin, but only unicast http streams. That is usually no problem, because even 3 streams aren’t nearly too much for a normal 100Mbit home network and I wouldn’t need any more at home. But with the world cup starting tomorrow me and Karin are going to watch some games

Seit heute ist es möglich ein Android Mobiltelefon mit Google Maps als Navigationssystem mit “Turn-by-Turn-Navigation” und Sprachausgabe zu benutzen.

The new Dell desktops we get at work, don’t come with an Windows XP license anymore. And I guess it’s kinda time to exchange the old XP installations, at least on the new desktops.
