Updates day
I use OSX, Linux and boot Vista and XP from time to time. Today seems to have been a curious confluence of large updates. First i updated OSX to 10.5.3 (I hope that they have fixed the 802.11n bug that kills my d-link AP, will test later.) Then it was time to boot Vista to print on the printer in the new office that only can use color in Windows, which after the first updates reboot informed me that it was time to install Vista Service Pack 1. It took a while. Of course, Fedora 9 had some 50 megs of updates today also, so the updates total for today was pretty serious.

Most of the time I try to avoid eating stuff with lots of carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potatoes and rice. When I describe to people I meet what I eat, one common question is this: “I think I understand how your meals look like, but what do you eat between the meals? The way you eat sounds interesting, but I wouldn’t last a day without sandwiches.” One answer to that question is high quality sausages. My favorite right now is the Napoli Piccante Salsiccia from Montorsi. It is a spicy sausage with so much taste in each slice that you don’t want to eat the whole thing at once. It goes great with some cream cheese!

Today I replaced the brake pads on my bike. To test them I took a ride down to the newly opened coffe and chocolate shop a few blocks away from our office to buy pralines. On the way back i was witness to a dramatic car accident. A few meters from my bike a black car came crashing into a small delivery truck at high speed. The noise from the cash was terrifying. A few minutes later ambulance and rescue services began removing the car roof to be able to get the driver out of the car. Later I heard that the driver had hit a pedestrian just prior to crashing.

I installed Fedora 9 on my x86_64 box today, and one of the early tasks was to get Adobe’s flash player working. Unfortunately it didn’t work out of the box, but once I understood what went wrong the fix was easy:
yum -y install nspluginwrapper.i386 libflashsupport.i386
(this assumes that you have installed the flash with the yum method described at Adobe’s site)
I hope that our friends at Adobe sorts this out to be a bit more user friendly in the future, perhaps by licensing their player in a Fedora compatible way so that it can be a part of the distribution.

I decided a few days ago that when I managed to get the new release of http://voxbiblia.com/ out in public I would treat myself by starting my own blog. Today I finally released the new version, so here I am. I don’t have any illusions regarding my ability to actually write here with any particular frequency, so don’t hold your breath waiting for new content.
Anyway, welcome to my blog!
