Trillian just became available on all 32- and 64-bit-platforms as .deb and .rpm packages.

They did it! Just as announced there are now distro-independent .deb and .rpm packages available for Trillian on Linux, targeting both 64- and 32-bit-platforms. I only had to install webkitgtk and libzip (well, and their dependencies of course) in addition. :) It works quite well for now!

As I promised, here is a screenshot. I am already trying to imagine what it might look like having 4 screens, 3 of which have distincly different measurements. Oh hell... :D
Recently I decided to upgrade my desktop PC, so the onboard graphics card, an older Radeon HD, just got a new buddy: EVGA's single slot version of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, featuring 4GB of DDR3 RAM. The fan's loudness on its high frequency can be quite annoying to some people, but I'm still very happy with it. That combination might not sound very convenient...

I just upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu Linux (32-bit for me). It's still reporting errors every now and then, but at least I can run Bria and Trillian on it, the only two closed-source apps worth paying for IMHO. I still hope I can get them running on my Arch system any day, but they are both linked to lots of libs which...

Cerulean have just released the beta version of Trillian for Linux - for now it runs on Ubuntu (64/32-bit) only because of some heavy dependencies. They claim to be working on the app to reduce it to work on any Debian system as well as rpm-based distributions. For now it's built upon GTK+.

Apparently it doesn't really work. I can only connect to the Trillian network, but my other accounts are either messed up or just fail. :( In case you want to try it as well, download from here (Pro user account required to sign in): https://www.trillian.im/get/linux/beta/

An old friend of mine just told me about Java EE, JSF and PrimeFaces, so I gave it a try and installed eclipse-ee, tomcat6 and a jdk.Then I ran the demo from coreservelets.com's tutorial: http://www.coreservlets.com/JSF-Tutorial/primefaces/#OverviewJust don't forget one damn thing: Add your user to the tomcat group to be able to read the config files from /usr/share/tomcat6/conf ! It took me quite some minutes to figure that out. :D
random old pictures I found on my MySpace profile :)
So I was kind of sad to be missing SG for the weekend. Right now I'm taking a glance at the new site - and I must say, it really seems hard to use!
First main thing I'm missing: Overview. Everything has been enlarged such that you would only see a tiny little amount of content.
Second thing: Enlarging photos. How do you view the...

PS.: I wrote this on Monday, but couldn't post it then. Apparently at least navigation through arrow keys is supported for now, posting to my blog works and I can view pictures in large by clicking on them. Even the logo on top looks better again although it's overlapping a bit with the main content. Fine... but there's still more to come I hope. Right now I'm seeing a very ugly button saying "SUBM", well, at least half of the "m" is left. Duh... I wish I could join the programmers and make this beta-looking website work ASAP! -.- Meanwhile I'm drinking some more tea... =)
So I just started experimenting with yet another window manager that I hadn't taken a glance at before: i3wm!
Apparently it's quite easy and convenient to use. Usually I'm on LXDE/Openbox, so this is a slight move now. With i3bar and i3status, i3wm actually provides a full though light(weight) desktop environment. So apparently I could throw away LXDE soon, especially from my slower machines like...

Hello world!
You might know these as a programmer's first words.
Call me a geek or a nerd or whatever you prefer. I like that.
What I basically do:
- math
- crypto
- build OSs
- write c0de
- browse the web
- drink Yunnan black tea
- gain more knowledge on Coursera
- enjoy the sight of beauty (that's why I finally joined
