Dualboot on a Thinkpad leaving rescue system intact
Posted March 11th, 2008 by ch3kaFinally - my new Thinkpad arrived today.
I'll post a detailed overview of the R60e - especially in compare to my old T40 - later.
First, lets get a real OS running (its really weird seeing a Thinkpad running Windows, I never did before).
First thing I did was gettin rid of those M$-Propaganda-Stickers - no problem here, I simply used some soap and a sponge.

RIP Thinkpad / Mount partition of whole-disk-dd-image
Posted March 5th, 2008 by ch3kaMy IBM Thinkpad T41 is no more.
I don't like Passwords, so I use cryptographic Certificates. They are all stored on the Thinkpads HDD, along with all my Mails and Stuff, so I'm pretty much separated from the outside world since the Laptop died last Friday.
Sure I do have backups, but they were 200km away from me (or i was 200km away from my filer, spoken correctly) and they were 12h old. So I headed back home and connected the Laptops HDD to my Workstation via USB and dumped the HDD contents via dd:
dd if=/dev/sdh | split -db2024m thinkpad.dd.iso.
CaCert - I'm an assurer now!
Posted February 29th, 2008 by ch3kaThanks to the spontaneously called CaCert-Signing yesterday at the CCCHD weekly meeting, i now have 112 pts which means that I can assure other people.
All 20 forms I prited were used - next time I'll print more.
The timing is perfect: yesterday my gpg-key expired.
The new one will get a CaCert-Signing.
You can find it on the common keyservers (I use pgpkeys.mit.edu) or you use this:

IPv6 Namespace and Favicons
Posted February 28th, 2008 by ch3kaAs you might have noticed when you are not only reading my brainejaculations via RSS, I have a favicon.
A Favicon is a 16x16 or 32x32 px-Graphic in the .ico-Format (MIME-Type image/vnd.microsoft.icon) specified by Microsoft.
This Format allows 4, 8, 16 and 24 bit color depth, however, in favicons only 4 or 8 bit are used for compatibility reasons.
So we can assume that a favicon can be described via 32x32x8 == 8192 bits. So we can create 2^8192 different favicons. Sounds good.
Even when we assume 16x16x4 == 1024, we will have 2^1024 different favicons to create.

We finally understand why Computers are never working as they should.
