ENUM!

Rune started playing with Trixbox this week. Even got himself mexican and US based DIDs! So. As I’ve been planning on setting up an Asterisk SIP telephone server ever since I was inspired by Øystein Homelien when I worked for him at PowerTech sometime last century; Rune is to blame that I spent the last [...]

IPv4+IPv6 multihomed.

I recently bought an Apple Airport Extreme N. Mostly to get a more or less decent NAS. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it supports IPv6 out of the box; both automagical 6to4 and manual sit-type configured tunnels. As my trusty old IPv6-ISP PowerTech seems to have, temporarily (?), stopped caring about IPv6 (tunnel [...]

She’s Got a Map of The World

Some months ago, my dad bought a Navibe GM720 (from Clas Ohlson, ~550NOK) to use with his laptop and AutoRoute while going on vacation to France. A couple of weeks ago, I started searching for an alternative to AutoRoute using my Mac. I found RouteBuddy. But I’m slightly turned off by paying $200 (program, maps [...]

MacBook Core 2 Duo Trackpad Trouble

I recently convinced my sister to buy my beloved MacBook Core Duo, while I upgraded to the MacBook Core 2 Duo. Being lazy, I just swapped the hard drive from my old CD to the new C2D. I ran into two problems on my C2D: 1: The trackpad was recognized only as a mouse. I [...]

If You Can’t Smile And Say Yes

Our lab environment is polluted by not only cancer inducing chemicals like ethidium bromide and the neurotoxic polyacrylamide. Even more disturbing is the frequent usuage of the radio. Or, to be more precise, the lack of a radio station that does not suck. Here in Norway we have a couple of commercial nation wide channels [...]

Refleks!

Før i tiden brukte alle refleks. Ok, ikke alle, men 30 prosent av oss. Det var den gangen vi fortsatt måtte gå til byen for å ta ut og sette inn penger i banken. I høst- og vintermånedene lå det alltid en skål med gratis reflekser ved skranken. Nå slipper vi å gå ut for [...]

BIO300 – Mikroskopiteknikker

I’m attending a 3 week long course teaching different microscopy techniques. We are 8 people. Yesterday, I fell hopelessly in love. With their brand new scanning electron microscopy! I was kind of suspecting this to happen, having wanted to work on a SEM for along time, but I was really blown away. I definetly need [...]

The Only Engine of Survival

My friend Rune made the switch close to 10 years ago. I’m slightly annoyed it took me this long. OS X is beautiful. Virtue, *nix, widges, Bonjour, Spotlight and Exposé. Not much to say, really, you just have to try it. I maxed out the memory (2GB, not via AppleStore), and I’m glad I did. [...]

Switch!

It’s official. I’m a Switcher! May 17th, after having waited at least 12 months, I ordered an Apple MacBook (white, 2.0). Today, May 19th, it shipped from China. It may arrive prior to my exam the 31th. I really wasn’t expecting it being delivered this fast. Already, she is spreading despair and havoc; the beginning [...]

Moods

I want an alternative way to sort my music. When I choose what to listen to, my mood decides. If it’s music that I relate to the mood I’m in. Or a mood I would want to be in. A combination would be great. Guess I have to compile a heavy list of playlists to [...]
