Good and fun barbecue last saturday.
(ps. it’s probably ‘on a stick’, but that totally slipped by me at the time.)
(pps. WordPress 2.5’s image uploader sucks donkey dick, I need a plugin to revert to the old one)

Posted on May 7, 2008, by XIII, under Happenings.

The follow up to this post, for some reason this was still in my draft queue. Time to hit publish and amuse/annoy you with more things that struck me as odd during our stay in the US:

More car fun

Posted on May 5, 2008, by XIII, under Happenings.

Shadow
Last week 4 new relais for 320 euros.
Yesterday the car got broken into, window smashed in and the Mio satnav stolen.
Today the car’s at the garage for a 30000km big checkup and to have the window replaced, total amount to be determined…
The fun never ends.

Firefox 3

Posted on April 29, 2008, by XIII, under Software.


Firefox getting a bit sluggish for you? Try switching to beta 5 of Firefox 3.
It’s got a lot of new features, none of which I tried yet, but… and it’s a big but, it’s faster. No really faster, a lot faster. I keep dozens of tabs open all the time and all of a sudden switching between them is fast again, real snappy. And page refreshes feel a lot faster too. And it uses a lot less memory as well.

Edit:
- If you need Java support (like for our company’s ERP system), stay away from it.
- Need a working Del.icio.us plugin for Firefox 3? Get it here.

Ubuntu countdown

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 splash
3 more days before Hardy Heron, aka 8.04 is released, and I’m looking forward to it. This is another LTS (long term support) release, meaning it’ll receive security updates for the next 5 years.
I’ll be tinkering with it on a spare pc to see if it’s got the goods to sway me away from the alternatives. I haven’t seen a conclusive list of everything new, but there are enough bits and pieces around the web to make me interested.

Soul Calibur IV trailer

Posted on April 18, 2008, by XIII, under Games.

Soul Calibur IV
There’s a new trailer, and it’s looking gorgeous. I must say I find the whole Star Wars stuff very intrusive now they even have levels from the SW universe. It’s Soul Calibur, not Masters of Teräs Käsi crap.
