Continuation

I have just discovered a XRDP , which is a RDPv4 server for Linux/Unix.

I am well impressed! Especially that it saves your session  between connections.  Time to incorporate it into my systems.

After years of consideration I have acquired  a Bluetooth HeadSet – finally something what doesn’t screen rob me.

Sound quality is decent! There is one but – outdoor, music source has to really close to your headset , there is shit loads of interferences out the in world. Indoors is perfect, I can roam around whole flat without loosing signal.

I have hooked it up to my E61 which does not do stereo and it shit ( good it’s my last month of a contract ) .

I have hooked it up to my Music Player the StormBlue A9+ which I had for a while and until yesterday I was disappointed with it  – now I love it, it works with my headset perfectly.

I have also connected it to my computer at home and now I am about to connect it at home. It’s dirt easy – thanks to Audio Devices How To from BlueZ

btw headset is Motorola S9

After 2½ years my laptop battery is at ⅜ of it’s capacity .. what is a pity.

Time to start saving for a new laptop Looking at the market it didn’t change much. Maybe I will get another Vaio .  UX, TZ and G series look good for extreme ultra portables and SZ which is a replacement for S series is very good as well…  I was very happy with my S2 for a long time.

When I was performing emerge  -ud world recently on my vaptop, I have noticed that the new xorg server, which was to be installed has a new USE flag, the aiglx … quick ^C and edit on /etc/make.conf has switched that feature on.

After updating system, I’ve added compiz to my installed software collection, and started to read on how can I get my eye candy on the screen. Google for gentoo aiglx and you will get Howto which I have used to set everything up … there was one glitch which was preventing me from seeing anything except white colour and what is worst I couldn’t find any solution for that. This white colour, which appeared instead of my windows was simply due to 3D objects lacking textures.

Now when you have that kind of appearance on your desktop , look no further than MESA … quick emerge mesa fixes the issue. Enjoy this nice eye candy  working … except that after that I have broken my cube configuration and it doesn’t switch my desktops … plane is a bit too plane and I will have to reset my cubes configuration, but how? . eh

I have a huge back log with sharing info .

Enjoy some of the photos from Bowling night outing with On-line team at the end of August.

I will try to find time and will to put more on the web , but when it comes to photos, my F-Spot is broken ( due to some Sqlite, Mono missed love ), may take some time…

I have got my ati-drivers back working in my system ( gentoo ) but I was playing too much with GL libraries and GLX is still on Mesa , will need to look at that.The problem was discovered when I tried to play Flight Gear ( which was recently updated and I can see some air traffic now! ).

Following some post on the web, I was interested in munin. After some fights with perl, and almost giving up! Got it somehow working on my home server. Which recently was as well relieved from routing packets thanks to my new Linksys WRT54g.

Munin is prety good tool for graphs. It is using RRD Tool to its plotting. It has system of plug-ins which turned to be extremely easy, when I was debugging some of the graphs not showing any data. It works nice with local resources, as well as with SNMP ( I have to add this part to pull date from my border router ). Did I mentioned, plug-ins are really easy to write!

When bored I’m doing strange stuff. Just minutes ago, I’ve tested my camera “magnifier mode”.

This mode is impressive! It’s much much better than macro mode, as far as I can see.

This is my(Sony VGN-S2) laptops TFT screen , it’s 13.3“ , and has a 1280×800 resolution, taken with my cam :

First attempt failed … I haven’t checked if the cds were burned correctly… grr

Gonna take it to work tomorrow, and install it there , from one of the working CDs

I’ve switched to Firefox on my laptop. It’s due to fact is I’m not using any other Mozilla suite component in here, than Navigator. Due to that I had to say good bye to my last LiveJournal entry tool, and say hello to LogJam… which for now is OK

Also I’ve managed to clean up my bookmarks , and I’ve synced ‘em with my machine at work

Almost nobody know that I’m working on some pretty good app, which will help me in managing something complex . So today after writing for couple days I’ve used code against a ruby -c which … showed only 2 parse errors ( ok, more, but that was the same misuse in couple of lines ).

So far so good, maybe I’ll get it partially working before the end of March.

Got it maybe some day I’ll release some photos. Now just goggle for s2hp sony vaio laptop to see what I have.

Yesterday was a good conversation with my boss(in a pub), and on a way back home called Ann, yes, expensive, but she is worth it .

Today celebrating with Mark my new purchase , and bought some present for my Mam. I have no clue, what to buy for Wojtek, Father, and Ann ( hm… maybe I know what she might like ).
