I’ve went to Pasta Opera with people from work. It is a bit like Medieval Banquet in Bunratty I imagine. It was in the former Clärchen’s Ballhaus, now Ballhaus Mitte, Auguststr 24 and we were treated to Verdi’s La traviata. The hall itself is actually missing a third of it’s roof, presumably WWII damage. You can see video clips here

And I’ve been driving an Opel Corsa and I nearly freaked to see snow falling in Spring but it was all okay in the end.

And I’ve been running again - still just around once a week but the last time was over 18K. The half marathon is on Sunday, the no-signs are up already and we’ve booked brunch for 10 (presuming that we all make it) in Cum Laude afterwards. Cum Laude used to be the professor’s dining room in the Humboldt University.

The uproar over someone suggesting that Knut should be killed (claims that he said that Knut should have died naturally) has media all over world reporting about the little bear:
Stephen Colbert Vs. Knut!
Views of my top 3 Knut videos are now at 57,887 34,152 and 14,235 and comments are filling up my inbox - over 35 so far today and while most comments are innocent, some people get worked up:

i will come to germany and kill any person or group that attempts to kill that bear. i will kill your children and your parents as well i will kill you in fire . do not kill that bear

If anyone even TRIES to kill this cute bear, I’ll fucking come down to Germany, track the killer(s), and fucking KILL them by my hands! I’ve WARNED YOU!

A polar bear cub can make even the German language sound adorable.

….Plus Knut( ka noot) is in a Berlin zoo and the rest of the world doesn’t like to serve America. AMericans are very spoiled and mislead.

And a new Knut video:

Sometimes I’ve found a way out of a hole and I think it would be nice to share

Plesk: If you see this:

This is the Pleskâ„¢ default page

If you see this page it means:

1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there’s no such domain registered in Plesk.

For more information please contact @adminemail@.

It could be that you changed the domain name from your temporary address to your real domain or another one. (Server -> Server preferences -> Full hostname).
Thing is you also need to reboot for the changes to really take effect - rebooting is something I’m not a fan of, especially when the machine is in another country.

How to connect your 6600 with Linux via Bluetooth:
follow these instructions and use the gnubox6600.sis file. I tried a newer version from the gnubox website but it kept trying to dial out and saying stuff like

DialOutLSP
Description:
DefaultTelNum: 1234
ModemBearer
No Nokia modem

and “gnubox: already in use”/”gnubox: bereits in verwendung”

you may also need to change the IP address from the suggested 169.254.x.x. or whatever your local ip looked like to something more along the lines of 10.1.1.x
Setting up the NAT under linux can be quickly done with the script here changing things like ppp1 ppp0 eth0 etc to your local settings
