As soon as Google announced its Android OS for mobile phones it quite appealed to me.
I’m currently quite happy with my Nokia N95 8GB, but still… 
The HTC Magic, currently available over here in Norway is not quite my style though… I prefer my phones to be black!
I also want a phone with at least the specs of my current phone, also when it comes to photo/video capabilities. It looks like the upcoming Samsung I7500 meets most/all of these specs with its 5 megapixel camera. (Not sure about its video recording yet though. The N95 does 640×480, 30 fps. Not many phones available yet which can beat that, even 2 years after the N95 hit the streets.
Although… The Samsung I8910 Omnia HD looks pretty slick as well. Hmm.. To be continued!

To quote Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! 
It has been confirmed. Next year the award-winning animated sci-fi sitcom will return. Futurama is being resurrected on Comedy Central, and we can expect at least 26 spanking-new episodes. Airing begins in 2010.

I was installing a new Dell Vostro 420 desktop at the office this morning.
One of the first things I do in the BIOS is enable POST messages, so I can see when there’s something wrong. That resulted in the following boot screen:
Hmm, what is wrong with this picture…? Perhaps that the BIOS has a notification telling me: EVALUATION COPY, NOT FOR SALE…? And the fact that Dell IS selling machines with this BIOS?
(Actually, it turns out my case is not unique. Google found me similar cases here and here.)
And Dell being Dell, the only way to get this ‘problem’ fixed is a swap of the motherboard…

I know I already mentioned this last september, but I have now finally ordered all the components to replace/upgrade my little Linux server. The final component list is as follows:
The parts could arrive as early as tomorrow, so hopefully I get some time this weekend. And I also still have to make the final choice between KVM, VirtualBox & VMware… Most likely I go for KVM + virt-manager. I guess I will pay a last visit to the Virtual Machine forums to double-check my facts.

Well, it took a little over 4 days, but Telenor (and the good people of Relacom) has finally fixed my ADSL/ISDN. It broke down on friday at 10:05 local time, and it took them until this morning to fix it.
First of course they came with the usual ‘It’s your ISDN box. We’ll ship you a new one’-crap… Only after I convinced them that the problem persisted with 2 other ISDN boxes I’d tested with they were willing to send a ‘contractor’ to check out the little grey box on the street…
Perhaps time to consider other ways of being online… :-/
