The results of my Systementwicklungsprojekt "Hochverfügbarkeit für Linux" are now available as Technical Report (TUM-I0828).

Thanks to Franz Huber for supporting and publishing my work and the MTA-Team for all their help.

This weekend I "upgraded" my Server from SuSE 9.3 to Ubuntu 6.06.

For the new setup I decided to try out some "new" anti-spam software. One of the solutions I finally setup is Greylisting with Postgrey:

Because it took me quite long to figure out how to enable "more common" key bindings in Mac OS X's Terminal.app, I want to share this little howto:

Today i figured out how to tell Firefox not to move back/forth in history but to scroll the page horizontally when I my scroll mouse (track ball) horizontally.

Because I am running a DokuWiki to be able to write down small HowTos of some technical stuff, I wondered if it would be able to embed these DokuWiki-HowTos into this Drupal-Blog...

The answer is "Yes":

Today i wondered if it is possible to export the mbox file that all my Gentoo-Elog-Messages are delivered to as RSS-News-Feed.

The Answer is yes, I've written a little PHP-Program called mbox2rss that is supposed to do exactly that. It uses the PHP's imap_* functions to parse the mbox file into a array (PHP has to built with IMAP-Support!), and prints the Array as RSS2-XML-Code.

You can visit the Demo to see how it works.

Die erste Beta, sowie eine LiveCD wurden ja bereits veröffentlicht. Zum verkürzen der Wartezeit, und um schon mal vorab einen Blick auf die neue Generation des Linux Desktops werfen zu können, hier schon mal ein paar YouTube-Fundstücke:

• KWin compositing config and intro
• KDE4 plasma icon demonstration
• KWin LiquidEffect
