This morning I heard wild geese for the first time this season. They are on their way up north. I opened the door, but couldn’t see them. I do not know which species they were. Geese are an early sign of spring. Another winter has passed, hopefully. In one of my first posts, I wrote …
As noted by many (e.g. here, here and here) the Microsoft Azure cloud service had problems on February 29. Hilarious. On the other hand, their products have "365" in the name, so I guess that is what they promised?
If this is your first time here, I suggest you first read my general post about distrohopping. 🙂 I have been running Xubuntu (11.10) as alternate distro for a while. My experience has been similar to Lubuntu. Easy to install, stable, a few minor update reminders now and then. LXDE and XFCE are both GTK-based. …

There has been for the past week or so a debate here in Sweden about some schools using tablets extensively. The debate started after a big daily in Sweden ran a story about schools and even kindergartens in one municipality using tablets extensively . Their goal is no school books by 2013.

Today I improvised with some stuff available in our kitchen, all according to The Cajsa Warg principle. Put fish (frozen cod filets, but fresh fish is of course even better) in a buttered baking pan or whatever you use for cooking in the oven. I didn’t use anything with a lid (se picture), but maybe …
If this is your first time here, I suggest you first read my general post about distrohopping. 🙂 As usual, I have tried a alternate distro for some time. My main is Debian. This time I tried something very close to Debian. I guess most readers are familiar with Debian’s version model, but anyway, it …
On January 1, or the next few days, most Japanese go visit a Shinto shrine to welcome the new year. Some shrines have millions of visitors during these days. Birth, life and fertility. what did they do yesterday? Happy New Year!
In Japan, some people visit a Buddhist temple before the clock strikes midnight, to say goodbye to and "bury" the old year. Death. On the first of January they …
The lists of people that died during the year fills newspapers, magazines and tv shows. Most lists show more or less the same people, e.g. the most famous terrorist in history and the guy that made electronics fruity. My list is not something I really prepared for a long time, and two of them I …
If this is your first time here, I suggest you first read my general post about distrohopping. 🙂 Lately, I been trying out Lubuntu, version 10.10, as my "test" distro. I haven’t tested it extensively, so this is not so much a review as my short impression from installing and using it a bit. Lubuntu …
