as you can see in the screenshot on the left, my moveable type installation is now upgraded. i think this should help with the flooding comment spam. the whole upgrade process seemed to go really well and painless, but things might be flaky in the next few days while i configure stuff and tweak the settings, so be aware…

one comment spam i’m not gonna delete is the last comment here , because i thought it’s well funny: a team of microsoft engineers - the IE Team - tries to sue me, because i installed firefox. ha!

just a quick note, ‘cause i’m late.

this was the best picture i took last week. it’s the view from the kitchen window of my parents home.

nice, innit?

if mr. gueniot doesn’t get a job with that cv i don’t know what he must do to get one!

brilliant!

altough it was my free day, i had to get up early today, because we got a new fridge , so i thought it’s about time to do some cleaning. after i’ve cleaned out my closets and thrown away a bag full of junk i started to catalog my dvd’s (call me obsessive) with the excellent dvdpedia (which i bought rightaway for 18 bucks).

so you are now able to marvel at my collection of 106 dvds. actually at least two of them are missing, ghost in the shell and the crow , but i forgot to whom i borrowed them. but this is never gonna happen again, because dvdpedia has a neat “borrowed to…"-feature which integrates nicely with address book.app on os x. if you click on the image on the left, you can download a three-paged pdf (300kb) of all the dvd-covers which i exported with dvdpedia.

this is the first post with the new version of ecto (one of the good points of doing a fresh install is that you update all your programs…)

thanks to the aforementioned disassembly guide me ibook now sports a nifty 60gb harddisk. to make things really pretty i decided to do a fresh install of panther. so things might be slow on the blog for some days, because i need to get back all the programs and little tools i so heavily rely on (just to make sure everything works, i’m writing this from the cloned backup….)

after i partially unscrewed my ibook last night i gave up at two o’clock in the morning (mostly because i was too tired to go on and couldn’t see the screws anymore :-) then this morning i found this detailed pdf (1mb) in which cybergreg nicely explains how to replace the internal hdd of an ibook. so i just need to grab one of these really small screwdrivers and give it another go…

my internal harddisk is acting extremely funky, and making weird clicking noises all the time. at first i presumed it’s extreme overheating, cause i was doing some very processor-intensive work yesterday eveing. (rendering a huge mosaic with MacOSaiX). but this afternoon it’s not back to normal the weird clicking sound is still there. thank god i have got a bootable backup so i can try to do some debugging. after i booted from my external harddisk i started the disk utility from the backup and tried to verify the startup disk (the internal harddisk on my ibook). after a short while disk utility tells me that “the nesting of folders has exeeded the limit” which is beyond my explanation (see image on the left). i hope disk utility can fix this…

i wanted to watch farenheit 9/11 tonight in the television (i missed it in the cinemas). but since i will go to see another movie tonight with wolf, peter and bruni i can’t… so, while i sit in the cinema, i’m (legally) downloading it via bittorrent, because the internet veterans for truth share their bandwith in the wake of the presidential elections in the us of a. ("…to help you make the right choice on Tuesday.") so you can download farenheit 9/11 as a 214 mb .mov file or as a bittorrent of the same size and watch it later on, wherever you wish.
