  Airport security getting crazy!
  Posted by Magnus on 17 August 2006, 10:53 am	Now gel bras aren't allowed. What's next? Will women have to remove breast implants? I guess we'll end up flying naked if this continues. I have to admit I wouldn't mind working in airport security if this continues. "Raise your arms Ma'am, I have to examine your breasts!" I think we can safely say that …Continue reading 'Airport security getting crazy!' »	| Tagged flying, inconvenientists, terrorists	| Comment
  CUPS and foomatic
  Posted by Magnus on 16 August 2006, 10:44 pm	Recently I've had some problems with the printers at work. I had it all working just fine a few weeks ago, then I must have upgraded CUPS or something because without me changing the configuration I first lost duplex and then the ability to print black-and-white (it's a colour printer). After fiddling with it for …Continue reading 'CUPS and foomatic' »	| Tagged cups, foomatic	| Comment
  Homecall (Pipex) and call charges on premium numbers
  Posted by Magnus on 16 August 2006, 8:25 am	I really should have posted about this months and months ago! I unlocked my phone a while back. My phone call lasted 5:35 minutes so I was expecting to be charged less than £8.20, since the charge for the premium number is £1.50 per minute. However, I was charged about £14! Several calls to Homecall's …Continue reading 'Homecall (Pipex) and call charges on premium numbers' »	| Tagged homecall, icstis, pipex, premium service	| Comment
  Posted by Magnus on 15 August 2006, 6:48 am	Well, at least it seems it is. I'm wondering when they will release all the information to the public so that we can see if Aigarius' rant comes true. Apparently Heathrow is being sued by one company. From a business perspective it makes sense to pass on the bill. As a private person I don't …Continue reading 'Flying as we know it is gone…' »	| Tagged flying, inconvenientists, politics, ryanair, terrorists	| 1 Comment
  Finally some success with building GNOME
  Posted by Magnus on 7 August 2006, 10:34 pm	After taking some advice I got on #epiphany I've finally managed to get both epiphany and epiphany-extensions out of CVS to compile. In this case jhbuild buildone was my friend. I installed gnome-devel and python-gnome2-desktop-dev and set to work. I used jhbuild to build glib and gtk+ (setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH in between). Then I tackled epiphany …Continue reading 'Finally some success with building GNOME' »	| Tagged epilicious, gnome, jhbuild	| Comment
  Posted by Magnus on 6 August 2006, 9:26 am	I started trying to compile GNOME 2.15.4, but as you can read from the comments things didn't quite work out. After a few emails on the gnome-love mailing list I switched to release 2.15.90. freetype2 I quickly ran into problems with freetype2. It seems Sid's version is too new. I added a new moduleset to …Continue reading 'Compiling GNOME 2.15.90 (failed attempt)' »	| Tagged gnome, jhbuild	| Comment
  Posted by Magnus on 4 August 2006, 11:53 am	Isreal has the right to exist! So say every official Israeli spokesperson that is interviewed. It's interesting that they feel a need to repeat that over and over again. Are they worried they will lose that right?	| Tagged isreal, politics, thoughts	Post navigation
