• You never stop learning... (en)

  ... at least when you are using Linux! I noticed that especially yesterday again, when I ran the small bash line to check my temperature over and over again, after trying to set my fan-speed manually to maximum (so, I wanted to check if temperature of my CPU goes down). Jakob looked kinda scared at me and asked, why I did not simply use: [Read full post…]

• Check your Thinkpads temperatures (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Jakob and me just wrote a small bash line that checks the current temperature of the IBM Thinkpad T43p notebook and prints it nicely. Hope we guessed the value meanings correctly. [Read full post…]

• Blog updates (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I just found 10 minutes to clean up my blog a bit. I switched the theme from my old brownish, dark theme to a nice grey-blueish one by Sebastian Bergmann (thanks!). It now looks much friendlier. Beside that, I updated my sidebar plugins and added the new eZ components release feed. Cool, now I only have to make up my new website, for which a little tool is lurking on my hard disc for a couple of months now... Hope I will find time after my exam phase end of July.

• Beagle searching Mozilla Thunderbird mails (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Thanks to Jakob I found a patch (look at the very end of the page) which enables Beagle to index Thunderbird emails. I created a Gentoo ebuild for me personally to support this. I just made a TAR ball of it, so you can use it, too. To make it running, do the following steps: [Read full post…]

• Jakob's wireless config for Gentoo (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Since a few days Jakob Westhoff - a good friend, university and usergroup collegue of mine - has a blog. I convinced him to set one up, because he produces a lot of geeky things, which by now stayed on his harddisc. [Read full post…]

• ICQ spam sucks (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Since 1996 I'm using ICQ as an instant messaging service. While I was satisfied with it all the time, I'm now getting into real trouble with ICQ spam. Blocking unwanted messages from users that are not on your buddy list is not a problem (at least in Gaim, although this tools seems to forget the privacy settings now and then). But lately I receive constant masses of authorization request spam. It's a real annoyance to get about 50-200 of these messages per day and to reject all of them manually. I would be really near to leaving the ICQ network, if there weren't so many of my non-geek friends on ICQ. [Read full post…]

  No, not myself, but my server. Until now I ow a 1und1 Root Server L, which I bought more than 2 years ago. Now that 1und1 offers a new generation of servers, I decided to switch to a 64-bit machine. My old server had a Celeron processor, 256 MB RAM and 20 GB HD, which could not really handle my spam protection anymore. The new one is an Athlon 64 3000+, has 1 GB RAM and 2 80 GB SATA discs, which I run as a soft raid. [Read full post…]
