.. das Computerwelt ist.. I’m currently sitting here watching Maxtor PowerMax doing a low-level formatting of my harddrive, so that it hopefully will install WinXP without acting like a prom date. After I have installed it, I will remove the drive from its current position. Why, you ask? Well, the current position (IDE2) is ATA33 […]

I’ve been poor so long I’d forgot how fun it is to spend money. On something else than strippers. I’m setting up a Media Center®™ at home, since this is what I’ve wanted to do ever since I got myself a 2nd and a 3rd computer. The 1st one is not up to speed, so […]

I’ve been meaning to do this project a long time, since it is so unfathomably easy, cheap and totally kick-ass cool. Or geeky. But I love it. This has been done a thousand times before, you can find other and better tutorials over at www.wireless-warrior.org if you look at their FAQs/Guide section. I have wifi […]

I stumbled over Code 9 when I was browsing the website of a cousin. She was using a MySpace equivalent, which most sub-sixteens are, and lately there has been a lot of hysteria in the newspapers about this. As a fellow citizen, I thought I’d do mine to add to the hysteria: In Code 9 […]

OpenOffice 2 has been out for a while now, and today I downloaded it, updating for the first time since version 1.1.2. I’m all in for open software, but what I really didn’t like about OpenOffice (and MS Office for that matter) was the long start-up. Here’s what I did to make it start faster: […]

Ever wanted to beat up a spammer? Here’s your chance:D I read the Washington Post‘s article called Invasion of the Computer snatchers about a week ago, which is about 0x80, a young botnet-spammer who sends 180Solutions commercials to infected "customers". The spammer wanted to stay anonymous, naturally, since there is alot of people on the […]

I’ve not only been playing, but also playing around with Nexuiz, the open-sourced (free) first-person-shooter with the funny name. Nexuiz… It looks like a German trying to spell the latin ‘Nexius’ in French. Today, when testing framerates at a colleague’s laptop (Precision M70 w/ nVidia Quadro FX Go 1400) compared to mine (Inspiron 6000 w/ […]

Torpark 1.5 is a nifty little thing in these days of surveillance and censorship, and if you’re among those who keeps your tin foil hat conveniently in your backpack or purse, you should check this out. If you’ve already tried the OpenBSD anonymizer LiveCD called AnonOS you know what it’s all about, but it’s not […]
