Eee PCs, Glas Shards, Lost Necklaces and Santiago

A couple of weeks ago i got a beautiful present from my gf.  A tiny eeepc from Asus! ^^  I installed Foresight Linux on it.  Foresight Mobile has a very very pretty interface and is working like a charm!  The keyboard needs a bit getting used to, but it’s not like we are using it for typing letters or huge documents.  I (we) are very happy with it! ^^

I’m still waiting for the last parts for my server to arrive, the waiting is getting quite annoying… In the meantime i’m working on a little pygtk program, that will be totally useless unless you are a Ferrarifreak.  At the moment it’s nothing more than a database of all the cars Ferrari ever made (and their specs) with a shiny interface around it.  But i only started and have lots of ideas!  PyGtk and Glade for the interface design really are a joy to work with.

Last week i was smart enough to trip a glass of water (or milk) from my desk and stepped into a broken glass shard while i was trying to clean up the mess i made.  Which resulted into a deep cut in my foot.  Something i forgot for a moment later that evening when i went for my evening run.  I had to stop after only a couple of meters and ended up with a gross looking sock and an annoying feeling in my foot.

More annoying news, i seem to have lost my necklass!   We searched (almost) everywhere in our apartment, but if it’s lock is broken it could have fallen off everywhere. *sniff*  My gf did make some delicious pancakes to cheer me up and her plan was a succes!   We got a great offer this week from a friend of ours.  He lives in Santiago (Chili) this and next year for his work and invited us to stay there for a week in februari.  Too bad both of us have to go to work/school then cause Santiago sounds incredible!

It’s almost time to start dinner, so have a nice day!

Choices Made

And the winner is… Arch Linux with KDE(mod)4.1 and i like it.  A lot!  After some fiddling with the art theme and the fonts it looks pretty and it flies!  It’s really a joy to work with!  Surprisingly i love plasma, surprisingly because i usually want a clean desktop with (almost) nothing on it.  All my Gnome desktops only have shortcuts on it to mounted disks or drives, nothing else.  But my new kde4.1 desktop has lots of plasmoids on it.  Hurray for plasma!  Although i do miss a “Remember The Milk” and a “Identi.ca” plasmoid.  But i am going to do some research on making plasmoids and then maybe try making one i need myself.  To be continued…

This week the last parts of my PC are going to arrive, so i can finally start building and installing it.  It is going to be used as a fileserver, something that will really come in handy.

This weekend has been so relaxing and fun!  Yesterday i was invited to dj at a party, had lots of fun and after the set i did we (some friends i work with and my gf) went to another party.  Possibly one of the best parties i have ever been to!  It was pure magic!  Nice people there, incredibly good music and the perfect company with me.  It got very late but that didn’t matter because today it’s sunday!  And sunday only has one purpose… staying in bed till the afternoon and relax after a *cough* tiring workweek.
