I have started an open source blog at http://www.openprojectguide.org/. The goal is to write one article for each slide of my talk that I held on froscon 2009 about starting of open source projects and what you can do to keep them alive. The first article deals with the very first thoughts that you should [...]
[update] I succeeded to install the new recovery image. fastboot only recognozes the phone when the phone is in fastboot and you have to (or i had to) be root! [old Text] I am trying to root my samsung galaxy. I tried to follow http://www.nodch.de/howto-root-samsung-galaxy-mit-ubuntu/1138 (german blog). I have tried this on Ubunu 9.10 32Bit [...]
I just retired my old desktop pc and decided to use the free monitor to do “dual monitoring” with my laptop (again). While it’s really nice how you can arrange and use the second monitor, it’s not as good as I’d like it to be. ;-) Wouldn’t it be nice to have the choice to [...]

Debian hat ja schon reagiert und seine Firefox/Thunderbird Pakete umbenannt, um dem Markenrechtsstreit mit der Mozilla Crop. aus dem Weg zu gehen. Ich hoffe Ubuntu wird [...]
I am using Miro for quite some time now and I really like the possibilities it offers. But when you use it on a regular basis you’ll encounter certain features you’re missing. So I’d like to write this little “rant-ish” article ;-) My first objection is the performance. I’m using Miro mostly on a machine [...]
I tried to upgrade my laptop (HP nx9420 with an ATI X1600 mobility) from Hardy to Intrepid. While the upgrade went smoothly, the reboot was not fun at all. The fglrx driver didn’t work, the radeon driver more or less worked. I could start gdm and log in, but gnome didn’t start up, it hung [...]
