customize resolv.conf even when using network Manager

| Tuesday, 13 October, 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. It still is, but this file now gets configured dynamically through resolvconf, […]

Muziek concert

| Sunday, 12 July, 2009

Ik ben de voorbije dagen enkele keren van mijn stoel gevallen. Blijkbaar ben ik een van die naïevelingen die verwacht dat een artiest die een optreden geeft, ook live zingt.
