Towards a greener world

Time to save the planet... Just kidding *wish I could*, but I just changed my server from a power hungry 140W eating beast, to a small and nice gentle 15W mini server. A factor ten cut, impressive! My new server is also built from green materials (according to the asus eee box site) and a little bit faster.. Now I hope it will serve me just as well as well as my old one and for the same amount of years..

Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Today I installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a desktop computer. I am pretty distro/desktop agnostic (see my ten year anniversary post), but since Debian Etch is a bit old for a desktop and Hardy Heron has Long Term Support (I do not want to update/fix a computer every half year!!) Ubuntu was my choice.

There are unlimited gnome improvements which I don't care about, but some things stand out for me in this release.

So thanks again for all free software developers!

Good 2008 to everyone

desert in egypt, by Jochem

There is only one week between this picture and the one below.... The trick is of course the invention of the aeroplane, which enabled me to make a trip to Egypt, a wonderful country. See more soon in my photo section of this site.

Anyway, good 2008 to everyone!
