Al anderhalve week ben ik gestopt. Gewoon van de ene op andere dag. Oke ik geef toe. Heb de dagen ervoor mezelf helemaal volgestopt met nicotine om de eerste dagen vooruit te komen. Om in ieder geval de behoefte naar nicotine niet te hebben. En toen werd ik ziek. Zat ik heel de dag thuis. En heb ik het overleefd.
Anderhalve week. Zonder problemen. Met een beetje smokkelen welliswaar (een hijsje hier, en een hijsje daar). Maar ik ga het redden. Ik heb er ondertussen vertrouwen in. Op naar totale onafhankelijkheid.
Nee ik ben niet meer gaan eten. Juist minder, maar dat kan ook door de koorts en griep komen. Heb wel heel veel zin in zoetige zooi. Cola, te sterke limonade, Jus d’Orange. En zelfs aan de smaak van bier moet ik weer wennen.
BTW: Ik heb ook een nieuw msn adres. Dit omdat er te veel mensen in stonden die ik niet of nauwelijks spreek of geen flauw idee van heb of ik ze nog wel ken.
It was nice to meet you with the knowledge that one certain day I would loose you again. And today it is 
Take care the rest of your life.?

Was geweldig. Gezellig en verbazingwekkend. Nooit verwacht dat Kiss zo tof zou zijn live. Sonata ook op festivals rockt. En Iron Maiden live gigantisch tegen valt.
My selfprotecton is keeping people on a distance when you don’t want to hurt them. Whats yours?
Just a great tool I found. Like remote desktop but than for your mobile. Just install the remote.exe on your Windows Mobile Powered device. Change the default password. Connect your device to your WIFI network and connect over IP.
It is great to let your device charge in your bedroom/toilet/kitchen and to be able to connect to it. Play your favorite Bubble Breaker game or just send some text messages to one of your friends.
The ability to do this while working with your normal keyboard and mouse is really great to play with. And with the option to have it on top of all of your screens and the relatively small resolution of the device (240×320 as average) it won’t consume that much space on your desktop.
Where you can find it? http://www.mtux.com/. But make sure before you install you have a one-time ActiveSync connection for installation of the tool.
Oh wait: There’s another text message
I discovered today that the past is not always the past if you won’t close it well.
When compiling PHP on a 64 bit system don’t forget to add “–with-libdir=/lib64″ to the configure statement. A typical configure statement would be:
./configure –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –with-mysql –with-libdir=/lib64
If you forget “–with-libdir”, make will fail in the mysql section with the error:
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

Okay, here comes the problem. We have a kickstart environment which is running very fine. The issue starts when we try to reinstall an machine after, lets say, an fuckup. The machine is an HP blade bl460c.
First installation was finished in 10 minutes after entering the ip adress and retrieving the config. Second installation is way to slow. It is currently running for 30 minutes and has hours to go I guess. Who knows how this problem is and how to solve it. Google is not helping much this time 
– EDIT –
The problem does not seems to be the client but the server which is Apache 2.0.52. After performing something like “dd if=/dev/urandom of=100mb.bin bs=1M count=100″ the server seemed to clean some cache and installation went much faster. Think I need to digg into my Apache config.
Hire a bunch of people which meet the following criteria:
- An old man, who is reaching his retirment, has redundant hearing devices and discovers in the middle of the project that his memory is failing
- An belg, nothing more to say
- A nice technical guy which doesn’t know really what the milestones are and what he is supposed to do
- A project manager from the other party who knows how to manage
- A project manager from internal who is to busy to keep track of the project all the time
Note: This is a bit sarcastic and not based on reality ^^
Still it is a nice thought that with a bunch of people described above you can reach nice milestones with lots of fun
Lately I’m stunned by the attention (X/K)Ubuntu receives. And more and more I’m convinced people really like it. But still. Ubuntu is no ordinary Linux version. It is made for “Human beings”. I admit. I gave it a few tries, even more than a few. I ran it on several machines. But it never succeeded in my eyes as a server distribution.
The problem at this moment in my eyes is that people refer to Ubuntu if you talk about Linux. Despite that they forget that there are far more other beautiful options for the GNU Linux kernel. Ubuntu is a distribution based on the Linux kernel which means it is Linux. Still it is no Linux because it is far more.
With Ubuntu you receive:
- A slick GUI
- A proper hardware detection kit
- A nice office suite
- And enough tools for every administrator/user/beginner
What sickens me is that on sites like Digg (http://www.digg.com/linux_unix) 90% of the articles which get digged are about Ubuntu. I don’t think that is fair. I started to read around and came across some interesting articles. How did Ubuntu became so popular. And I think it is because their proper marketing tricks (free CD’s!). Their “it-is-finished” look (oh well, you come across some bugs sometimes but I like the wobbly ‘windows’). But in my eyes it is friendly; it is indeed for human beings. You put in the DVD. Startup the Live environment and you just click “Install”.
Because of this don’t expect it you can work on it like Windows. Or even not like OS X. If you try to something irregular you are immediately on your own in the nice Terminal (you can even make it transparent). The Wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com) is a mess. Not really technical like the Gentoo version. Google is helpful. But never expect it to be friendly.
In my eyes Ubuntu is here to stay. But people should refer to it as a distribution. Not as the OS of the Future.
I would like to close with the following:
Ubuntu is a linux distribution and for this it is Linux. But Ubuntu is not linux.
