Two days ago, Serendipity (s9y) 1.0 has been released.
S9y is the blogsoftware I am using. At the beginning I was a bit sceptical - but now that I’ve been using it for some weeks I’m a complete serendipitist
But how can you get your own s9y - Blog?
Of course, there are free […]
Recently I remembered a post I had seen long time ago on ubuntuforums.org and I’d like to bring it up again
It’s a small but fine hack of a firefox extension: it will allow you to open the recent page or a link in a konqueror window from within firefox.
Go to this page and click […]

I’ve just come across another solution for launching LiveCDs without burning them. You can use Qemu (which is preferable because it’s OpenSource).To install it is easy: you can do this with apt-get in your konsole:
sudo apt-get install qemu
To launch the live cd just type into the konsole:
qemu -cdrom YOURLIVECD.iso
Easy, isn’t it?

I’ve been looking for a good application to create screencasts for quite a while now. After having tried out a lot of unusable, uninstallable or just not-open-source solutions I finally found one which fits all my needs:
Screenkast. To describe it I just cite from kde-apps:
Screen capturing program that records your screen-activities, supports commentboxes and exports […]
Some of you may already feel like installing dapper. Though, it’s still beta (Flight 7) and it’s advised not to use it on your production systems you can try it out to test it. I already have it working as my first system (silly me ) and I have to say: I just LOVE […]
For Christmas I got a wonderful external USB Drive which I only used for backups until now. Since I couldn’t wait to test Kubuntu Dapper Test 5 I decided to make a dual boot with my Breezy, and to install the new system on my usb drive.There is a wonderful HowTo do to so here […]
Maybe you already tried out my latest post about Qemu or Vmplayer. That was only launching of LiveCDs, but now we go a little further: you can install a complete Operating System WITHIN your Kubuntu Breezy! What you need is:
–> Hard Disk Space (minimum 2GB)
–> Install Disc of another system (another Linux or even […]
Update: instead of following this howto, you could also try out Automatix.
If you want to open PDFs, watch trailers, listen to online radio …. etc. in firefox, you have to install some plugins.Make sure that before installing any plugins, CLOSE your firefox!
That’s why you should follow this HowTo if you’re using Kubuntu as I do.
