Halo

Eftersom Halo 3 verkar bli så feting-coolt tänkte jag det kunde vara skoj att spela igenom de två första spelen. Så jag köpte Halo, Halo 2 och Halo 2 Multiplayer Pack för 199kr på OnOff :)

Nu jävlar ska det bli spelande av. Master Chief, here I come!

24.24.2.1998

Jupp, det är jag.

Vem är du?

Äsch, vem försöker jag lura…

Som om det är några andra än mina (svenska) vänner som läser det här :)

Och mitt när jag sitter här och skriver så kommer min underbara flickvän och masserar mig – helt spontant! Gaaaaaah…… Finns det något skönare?

Puttin’ your Thinkpad keys to work

If you have a Thinkpad, and you have those grey page-buttons around your arrow keys, this is what you do to make them work as Forward/Backward in Firefox 2.

1. You will have to find the directory in which Firefox is installed. On a standard Kubuntu Feisty install, it’s in /usr/share/firefox.
2. Edit <firefox-directory>/chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.xul, and find the line that says <keyset id="mainKeyset">.
3. Paste the following lines directly underneath:

<key id="goBackKb" keycode="VK_F19" command="Browser:Back" />
<key id="goForwardKb" keycode="VK_F20" command="Browser:Forward" />

4. Save and restart Firefox.

Now you can use the page-buttons to move back and forth through your Firefox history. This also works in Firefox 1.5, but requires a different approach. You can read more at the ThinkWiki.

Using Feisty

Now I’ve had Kubuntu Feisty on my laptop for almost 24 hours, and I’d like to share my thoughts about it.

First off, finally a new version that doesn’t radically change or remove solid features one has gotten used to in the six months between releases! The only real changes are either improvements on previously added features or inclusions of software and hacks that most of the Kubuntu community has been using anyway. Network Manager is finally a standard feature, and the battery manager the Kubuntu team added in Edgy has been fitted with some new options, including an awesome looking new icon (with color!). Both Suspend and Hibernate still work flawlessly, right out-of-the-box, on my Thinkpad T43 and it even has the ability to switch over to hibernate while suspended if the battery drains to a critical level.

Overall, there aren’t that many new things to write about. KDE 3.5 is moving along at crawling speed while development on KDE 4 is ramping up. I got things configured just as I like them in less than 20 minutes, and most hacks/tricks that worked in Edgy still work in Feisty. One cool new thing, though, is that Beryl is available from the repositories and is now merely an apt-get install away. I’m also happy to say that it works perfectly, insanely irritating wobbly-windows and everything.

I know that this has been said so many times it’s completely lost its meaning… But this is the Ubuntu that could start a massive move from Windows to Open Source software. It’s really that good. I’m giving Kubuntu 7.04 — a.k.a. Feisty Fawn — two giant thumbs up.
