last.fm

Filed under: — sven @ 19:08 GMT

The last.fm has been looking at me from the Amarok configuration window for months. A few weeks ago I finally signed up. Now I’m not trying to get anybody to sing up, but I’ve wondered if anybody is already signed up want to be my friend. I remember when I playing with 30 Boxes it always said “You have no friends.” This kind of depressed me, but last.fm says “You haven’t added any friends yet” so it isn’t so depressing.

MacOS to KDE

Filed under: — sven @ 19:00 GMT

I had too many passwords to remember at work, MacOS X did a good job of remembering them but it kept them in a way that was difficult to extract. At home, with Kubuntu, KWallet kept things encrypted but also gave me access to them with only one password. So I installed KDE of my University surplus system and got osx2x to work to share the keyboard with my much newer Mac. So now when I need one of my LDAP passwords in a place I have not used it before I can read it and not contact systems to reset my password.

The odd thing is, slowly, I’m doing more and more on my slow Debian box with KDE then on the duel processor Mac. MacOS X: iTunes, iCal, GNU Emacs 22, web browser testing. KDE: KMail, web browser use, OO.o, RSS, command line. I still keep the Mac monitor in front of me, hence Emacs. Before I installed KDE, I longed for a GUI sftp access in the Finder, now I use KDE’s file browser to browse my Mac files more then the Mac finder, even though it is right in front of me!

Gotta go, meeting.

I’ve been whining about food miles for years! Well, to myself anyway. Plus I’ve never embeded a YouTube thing before, lets see how it works. I’d suggest you just skip it.
