Die Schweinegrippe kommt. Die Krankenkassen haben zum Glück etwa eine Milliarde Euro im Überschuß, den man durch die Verwendung von 600 Millionen Euro für 50 Millionen Impfdosen, die für 25 Millionen Bürger vorgesehen sind, schonmal deutlich abbauen kann. Praktisch! Es … Continue reading →

What is the attacker trying to tell me?

Posted on 2009-07-23 by Oliver

I’m using screen more and more, but this night I ran into a problem I hadn’t anticipated. I was trying to establish SSH sessions inside “pre-created” windows (using a specific screen profile). Now I wanted to automatically call an initial … Continue reading →

Posted on 2009-07-05 by Oliver

Everyone loved Visual Studio 6 and many people continued using it despite the availability of VS 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008. Now, I saw Microsoft promise on some website that version 2010 will be the new version 6. Somehow I … Continue reading →

So Microsoft offers a downgrade to the Windows 7 pre-predecessor Windows XP for everyone buying a computer until end of April 2011. Nice. Maybe the fellows at Redmond should take a minute or two and ask themselves why people are … Continue reading →

Screen and byobu

Posted on 2009-06-18 by Oliver

So far when using screen I was always using very simple steps and using the simplest features. But given that PuTTY doesn’t feature tabs, it’s pretty cool what you can do with screen. You can either start one or multiple … Continue reading →
