strange n900 pricing - 10 Apr 2010
i’ll probably buy a nokia n900 to (finally!) replace my nice htc touch hd which is broken because of windows mobile (how could htc do this, after all?!).
i was quite surprised about the price differences between digitec.ch and mobilezone and swisscom-shop;
price with extending my contract another year at swisscom shop: about chf 750.-

to allow the update, steps as described on this howtogeek post are needed.

compression using fifo’s - 28 Aug 2009
little problem, smart solution;
i’m backing up my citrix xenserver vm’s using the command
xe template-export
i write the backup directly to a cifs-mounted share on the network. however, i need to compress those images, ideally before i send them over the network. the problem is that the template-export command doesn’t support writing to stdout, which would allow [...]

just had a little problem to fix;
when i opened an encrypted or signed message in thunderbird, the error “the enigmime service is not available” was shown. however, enigmail and thunderbird were installed and even setting the path to the gpg binary manually doesn’t fix the problem.
however, it’s not too difficult to fix;
apt-get remove –purge enigmail

keeping ssh-sessions open - 02 Oct 2008

ccsp certification - 17 Sep 2008

the test for CCSP is solely consisting of online courses and tests which are [...]
