This post is a follow up of sorts to my previous post. A few days ago, I did a fresh install of the latest snapshot of Debian Jessie/testing. Install went fine. One thing that needs correction, imho, is that choosing English as installation language – which also makes it the system language – forces one …
Wheezy, version 7 of the operating system Debian, was declared the new stable, official, version on May 4th. I use Wheezy as my main system since some time last year. When Wheezy became stable, the testing recieved its new name: Jessie. Which will be the future version 8, when it in its turn become stable …
Under ganska många år betalade jag tv-licens. Jag hade en tv-apparat, så därför betalade jag licens. Jag tittade väldigt lite på tv. Jag har lyssnat betydligt mer på radio. Radiotjänst har fått mina pengar för väldigt lite i retur. Det är bara ett slöseri med pengar för något som numera också har väldigt litet med …
This post is not about the movie character Yogurt from Spaceballs and his obsession with merchandising. It is about yogurt, the milk product. Every day I eat yogurt, and always the "plain" types. Then I add whatever stuff I want, such as nuts, berries or raisins. Or none at all. That gives me choice. I …
Debian, det universella operativsystemet fyller tjugo år idag! Det är det operativsystem jag använder dagligen sedan drygt fyra år, även om jag använder/provar på andra ibland. Debian är ett fritt operativsystem. Standardinstallationen består av 100% fri programvara. Programvaran ligger i s.k. förråd (eng. "repository" eller "repo"). Fri programvara täcker inte alla behov, exempelvis för vissa …
Hey ho, another post about cooking. Today I decided to make a complement dish with chick peas. They were canned (boo), but at least ecologically grown. As usual, I hadn’t planned much, and I also engaged in my new hobby since 3 days back: excluding nightshade. I also excluded garlic just for the challenge. So, …
If this is your first visit here, please acknowledge that most of my "recipes" are not exact, but rather rambling documents of my more or less improvised cooking. I’ve previously heard that some people avoid nightshade (Solanaceae) plants. I cannot now remember the reasons they stated for their avoidance, more than it concerned their health. …
On our first episode of Duffercast, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. television series was mentioned. By an amazing coincidence, I found this in my parents’ house the other day: The car, Gun Firing Thrushbuster, was made by Corgi Toys. The above photo shows Napoleon Solo shooting (while driving of course). The right hand side (photo below) …
I may have become a podcaster. If that is really an appropriate term? Podcatcher means a kind of software, not the person catching it (i.e. listening). If the listener is, well, a listener, would not a person talking be a podtalker? Whatever a "pod" is, I do not think I am casting things like that …
Well, the spring was late, and now it is late spring, but not a late spring anymore. Almost-summer. Sprummer? Around here, there are many wild cherry trees. White flowers en masse. That is over now. The garden cherries have also bloomed. Sadly I forgot to take photos. But, as most wonders of nature, it will …
"Let’s talk about the weather". That is the epitome of small talk. Except of course for people really dependent on or affected by the weather, such as farmers or people living in areas that experience severe snow stroms, floods and hurricanes. For most people living in modernized areas, the weather is mostly a nuisance. The …
I first came up with the name "inscius" for this blog. Later I started using it as a handle. I never really thought of how it might be pronounced. However, on occasion people have vocalized it. So, finally I put myself together to find out how it is actually pronounced. Since I am too lazy …
