  • Underwater Kinetics C4 eLed

    I bought a Underwater Kinetics C4 eLed from a friend of our local diving club The Abyss

    The item was new in his box.

    It is really nice, light and bright….. I am waiting to find some time for a night dive to test it.

    I am a fun of Underwater Kinetics lights, but of course we cannot compare them to Kowalski Xenon lights…. but the eLed is a good light anyway

  • Kernel 2.6.14

    Hmmm, a kernel release…
    So ? Just another kernel release ?
    Should i upgrade ?

    No, wait for a few days. Everything works ok with 2.6.13

    These are the usual questions after a kernel release 🙂

    This time since it was a weekend i want to give a try.

    The ipw2100 make it way to the kernel tree. Nice no more another compile for my wireless laptop network card to work.

    The vesafb-tng patches works ok with the new kernel. Nice i will not miss my 1024×768 terminal 🙂

    The suspend2 team hasn’t release a new version so it will stay a couple of days ( maybe a week) with out hibernation.

    The vmware needs the usual vmware-any-any-update 🙂

    It took me a couple of hours but everything is running smoothly.

    Nice work kernel guys

  • OpenBSD Turns 10

    Reading slashdot is nice. I could have missed the birtday of OpenBSD 🙂

    10 years have passed since Theo de Raadt did the commit of his Makefile into the CVS

    Happy birthday OpenBSD

  • Inverting the F Lock

    Some times Microsoft does good work on hardware. That is keyboards and mouse.

    The problem is that they do it in their own way => Friendly for the user. Or as they think that is friendly 🙂

    On the office keyboards the Function keys has been replaced by functions eg Help,Undo,Redo,New etc.

    But i don’t want to press the F-lock every time i do an Alt-F4 to close the window.

    If you want to invert the f-lock download and import the registry fix from the following site http://www.mvps.org/jtsang/flock.html

    Finally….. Pressing Alt-F4 works 🙂
