Opera

Mouse gestures in Opera are nice. But if you dont use them they are difficult to remember.. A few is nice to know. Especially the commands you do frequently when you are surfing the big waves of the web.

Heroes

Heroes is a great show! My friend told me about it, when so even my lab partner did i really had to check it out. In two days i've seen all the episodes that have been aired. I am totally stuck. But now I have to catch up with the programming in the operating system course. We are improving functionality in the OS emulator Nachos.

Synthesizer

The synth is finally sold. I learned a lesson.. Be in constant contact with the buyer, especially after shipping it. To be in contact via mail sux; do business via phone. Period.

slip warn

I bought a slip warner for my car the other day. Amazing what nice stuff you can find at clas ohlson. It warns when the temperature is between +3.0°C and -1.0°C, -7.0°C and -9.0°C. The most critical regions are between +1.0°C and -1.0°C, -8.0°C and -9.0°C. The lower limit warns for when the road salt has no effect.

Yamaha SY77

I have sold my not so precious Yamaha SY77 through blocket. Quite difficult to sell stuff through an ad site like that. Difficult to hear over the phone if people are serious or not. It is rather unpleasant to send it across whole sweden too. But i think it will go well.

Clone

A friend of mine bought a new disk. 250 gb sata2, but he already had exactly a disk like that. He is about to build a cabinet for the old disk and use the new one in his desktop. His problem was now that he wanted an exact copy of the existing disk. He asked me how to do it. I didn't come up with any good idea how to do it in windows. Mostly because i am becoming more and more unfamiliar with that OS. I told him to boot up a linux live-cd and run the command: `cat /dev/sda > /dev/sdb`. He was a little uncertain that it would work, so he asked me to come over and help him. So I did, while his fast disks cloned themselves we ate some cake. And only after a while he rang me and said that everything went very well booting the new disk. He was happy, and I got some cake..

Got a keyboard for christmas present. Quite tacky. But i will give it a shot. The keys seems a little sluggish, but i hope the inertia will dissappear after using it for a while.
