Reading ginsterbusch's journal

Now, there is this WinXP theme I stumbled over via Alp Uckan's Weblog. Take a look at it yourself:

What I like most about this theme is: it tries to copy the Look & Feel of KDE 2 / 3 by not cloning too much the style of Mac OS X and still keeping its own character.

Black's beautiful. :)

I'm getting nearer and nearer to the final goal: Switching to linux, at least with one notebook - even if its not the one I have to do my daily work with.

This evening I auctioned a nice second-hand Dell Latitude C610 for my personal joy. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to install onto it - the non-Windumb system which fits best into my needs will make it. One of the following propably: OpenBSD, Ubuntu 6.10, Mandriva 2007 or Fedora Core.

Oh, and much more things of joy: I've been so busy these days I've forgotten to do the wash up for almost 2 weeks. What a joy, what nice odour. Good luck I didnt eat anything before starting to do the clean up, else I would have had a nice talk with the toilet bowl for a while. Next thing I gonna do is covering this whole room with frankincense to get the awful, puke-like smell away.

Well, the bright side of this is, I'm not hungry anymore. :->

Thats the news for this month, aside the fact that I've been very busy with work, being employed as "Software Developer Web" for 2 months now. Which is also one of the reasons I've turned into a fellow reader but not a writer in here.

(in reference to the R.E.O. Speedwagon song "Follow My Heart")
[ok, so where can I post an MP3 so you can hear it??]

I followed my heart and set your desktop as my own. I haven't seen it yet,
ok, I'll look...

WOW. I like the swirl.
how can I get that wthout all your desktop icons that are now confusing me?
:) lol!!
it looks gorgeous.

And,
seeing how you're supporting it, i'll have to look into finding a copy so i can make my linux music-server boxes.

I'm off to take a picture...
or better yet, just take my word for it, it's no where as art ful as yours...but I will say athat the entire swirl is also uncovered on my desktop too.
interesting

ok, well there you go

I'll bet that just took 5 years off my life--but GODDAMM if it wasn't worth every second

Zen,

You can get lots of pretty cool backgrounds from:

Ginster,

Does having that GNU/Linux wallpaper make Windows run more stable?

hehe...

I dont know, but my system hasnt crashed that much yet :)
Actually I'm using this background to a) confuse people who stroll by and b) because it's a promise - to switch to Linux ASAP.

Sadly, the notebook I've to use at and for work is so brand-new that at least the installed Gigabit LAN card is not yet being recognized from the latest Linux distributions, except Mandriva, but this very commercialized distro has lots of other flaws. Thus I'm going to wait half a year or so till all my favorite distros are going to work with it, too.

My recently auctioned private laptop will of course feature a UNIX-based operation system as mentioned before.

I got a new laptop, Averatec 2300 which was made in September. It took some messing around but it's well supported under linux. I have Gentoo installed on it at the moment. It's a 12 inch, 4 pounds. I love it.

Well, I dont have that time. If it takes longer than 3 days to get the bloody thing working again, its wasted time. As soon as my new 2nd hand notebook arrives, I gonna play with that, which will be much more fun than strolling around on Win XP ;)
