Gnome evolution suxorz

Saturday, December 26, 2009

Gnome evolution: Actually, this was triggered by clicking a mailto: link, whilst I hadn’t fixed Gnome’s default behaviour of launching evolution, so I just closed the mail dialog Window, but evolution seems to insist on staying running persistently.

VMWare open backup tool

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

I’ve been looking for several backup solutions for VMWare lately, which is quite a depressing task, imho.

Godsdienst-tweet

Saturday, November 28, 2009

customize resolv.conf even when using network Manager

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Having my laptop configured with dhcp through network manager (Ubuntu jaunty at the time of writing) is what I need in most networks. Often though, I need to contact hosts living under another domain. Traditionally, that’s wat the search option is in /etc/resolv.conf.
