HP Laptop = Dead :(

My laptop didn’t wake me up this morning :( . It seems to have some problems with it’s graphic card. Nothing appears on the screen. After a hard reset, it doesn’t start anymore :( .

The screen stays dark, and there is an BIOS error sound: Long-Short-Short

So I contacted HP today, it is getting picked up tomorrow, and I hope I will get it back during the next week. Monday would be nice, as I will leave in direction of the office on Tuesday.

So let’s see how good the HP service is. For now, I am quite happy. I got all the information directly, after a chat session with the support Desk.

Ok … I am finally back from a 3 day offline period! 670 new E-mails, with filtered spam! Unbelievable!

Anyway, I just found this Image in an E-mail. This is why driving with your own car isn’t worth doing! Just take the Airplane!

Reason for aviation So stop paying those high fuel prices, and just take the airplane.

NOTE: Not all airplanes guarantee such a nice pilot.

Last.fm - The Revolution!

This is unbelievable!

Last.fm by LogitechThis morning I got a message from a friend of mine, about Last.fm signing a deal with Logitech, and to ship a home entertainment device. It looks great, it has nice features, but it is too expensive. By signing this deal, Last.fm finally arrives in your Home Entertainment System and leaves your Desktop PC.

But that’s not all!!

On their Blog they say: As of today, you can play full-length tracks and entire albums for free on the Last.fm website

It’s a pity that it is only available from the UK, US and Germany for now, but hey … you can use Proxies :) . So now you can listen to full length tracks for free! It is limited to 3 times per song, but they’ll soon have a new subscription for unlimited!

Here are some pictures of all the free stuff! Last.fm Free1 Last.fm Free2

This is clearly a big month for Last.fm!

AOL adopting XMPP aka Jabber

Filed Under (Jabber, Linux) by Florian Jensen on 17-01-2008

Proprietary protocols are things from yesterday. Today, Opensource technologies are taking over the world! AOL / ICQ has just launched a test server using XMPP, an open technology. This means that you’ll soon be able to talk to your ICQ / AIM contacts via Jabber. Google has already started using it. So who’s next? MSN!

AOL seems to be making its ICQ and AIM services compatible with XMPP: xmpp.oscar.aol.com PS: it’s still buggy and is only claimed to work in Exodus and Coccinella. It works in nearly all Jabber clients. But that is probably because the server is overloaded.

There has been a vivid discussion today on the Jdev MUC room about this. It looks like Jabber will be the solution which will rule the future of all messengers.

You can try to log in to ICQ with the username icqnumber@aol.com on server xmpp.oscar.aol.com on port 5222. TLS is required.

Let’s see what happens in the next few months with Jabber.

You can find Jabber Hosting for your Domain on Flosoft.biz . You’ll probably be able to chat to your ICQ contacts soon!

UPDATE: AIM seems to work too!

UPDATE2: There is a tutorial here on how to setup your Jabber Client

UPDATE3: I just recieved this picture from jjkobra. It works with Gajim! AOL adopting XMPP aka Jabber

UPDATE4: It seems to work in Psi too!

UPDATE5: A comment by AOL.

50 Things Men Wish You Knew

Filed Under (General) by Florian Jensen on 14-01-2008

Tagged Under : , , ,

Universal guy truths that all women should understand.

1. Express yourself. It makes us proud, even if someone thinks you’re wrong.

2. You look hot in running shoes and shorts. And that top thingy with the stripes.

3. Bare, tan shoulders are underrated.

4. If you think I’m speeding now, you should see me drive when you’re not in the car.

5. If you’re truly interested in us, don’t play hard to get.

6. Shopping is a chore, not an activity.

7. When I screw up, go ahead and tell me–once.

8. No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if I’m inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.

9. I’m hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.

10. My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, they’re your best sign that I’m not a whack job.

11. Don’t be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.

12. Leave the eyebrows alone. Plucked ain’t pretty.

13. You can have sex with us any time you want. Seriously.

14. When the game is on, we will pay attention to you if you’re nice about it. Bark, and we shut down.

15. I don’t ask for directions because I’m just happy to be driving. Anywhere.

16. Masturbation is merely practice for the big game. Encourage it.

17. We crave hugs and hand-holding too. And no, it doesn’t always have to lead to sex.

18. But you can have sex with us any time you want. Did we mention that?

19. There’s no better sound in the world than you, having an orgasm.

20. Though the exhaust note of a Porsche Boxster is pretty damn fine, too.

21. I just may lie to make you feel good. Don’t be angry about this. You really weren’t looking for the truth anyway.

22. When you get angry over some stupid little pointless thing, I question your intelligence.

23. You’re really bad at faking it.

24. If I offer my help while you’re getting ready, it means you’re late.

25. Never ask me to pick out your outfit. (See above.) I will invariably get it wrong and make us even more late.

26. Giving me two or three choices, however, can be fun. Assuming you will change outfits in front of me. Slowly.

27. Err on the side of  hot; I love to show you off.

28. Unless we’re meeting my parents.

29. When you call us at work “just to chat,” we’re not really listening; we’re checking our e-mail.

30. Spring means baseball and skirts. Doesn’t need to be a mini-skirt; it’s been a long winter.

31. Chicks who drink beer are hot. Better yet: chicks who drink beer and watch the game. Better still: chicks who buy us a beer during the game.

32. We don’t mind being told we look good. Just don’t call it a “cute outfit.”

33. We love ponytails.

34. Being good in bed means a) enthusiasm; b) a sense of humor; and sometimes c) patience.

35. The first time? We’re as nervous as you are.

36. A random unexpected grope is always welcome, even in public. Especially in public.

37. Make us laugh and we’ll want to hang around.

38. Yes, I laugh really loud around the guys. And I always will, so deal.

39. Sure, men stereotypically like to solve a woman’s problems. But a woman who solves her own while we watch? Instant erection.

40. You can pick the movie, but have a reason.

41. Do not expect to have a conversation via text message unless you use the words “naked” and “waiting.”

42. Sometimes we wonder why any woman would want to be with us, much less someone as amazing as you. So, thanks.

43. Anytime you cook for us, we’re happy.

44. If you can hit a golf ball 150 yards, we just might fall in love.

45. No, I don’t remember what he said next. Or she. Or anybody, for that matter. I’m a guy, not a tape recorder.

46. We love you even more because you know we need to go out with the guys once in a while.

47. And we love it when you hang with us guys, too.

48. We have a keen sense of imminent danger. It sounds like, “Do you think she’s pretty?”

49. Don’t rely on us for keeping you up on the news.

50. Never say, “I know you better than you know yourself.” Nobody does.

The coolest Intel ad … EVER!

Filed Under (General) by Florian Jensen on 07-01-2008

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

Intel has a few ads a year. Often, they just show the new product. But that time has passed. The new Intel ad ROCKS! And they take that very seriously.

As you’ve seen, a very cool ad. I was told that another company’s CEO likes to play the guitar, and I was also sent evidence.

Oles (OVH) and his guitar

On the picture you can see the CEO of OVH, Octave Klaba playing his guitar.

So maybe we’ll see another ad of OVH, similar to the Intel one. What do you think of that? Wouldn’t that be cool?

In case anyone reads this from OVH, tell us, if that would be a possibility, and if not an ad, just send us the video. It hasn’t got to air nationally ;)

For all of you people who want to join and sing, here are the lyrics (source):

Lyrics:

I was lost
lots of aimless wandering desk to desk
higher costs
tryin’ to chase away
the endless system threats, yet
trouble tickets everywhere
tangled up in old software
outdated OS left me in despair
But
Everything has changed
not just rearranged
hardware-based technology
has finally set me free
remote manageability
puts the power just where it should be
with managers of I.T.
like me
Used to be
that software had to go it all alone
oh
now with hardware, it can fly
no end user to ask why
I.T. can finally reach the sky
Everything has changed
not just rearranged
hardware-based technology
has finally set me free
almost overnight it seems
no more PEBKACs in my dreams
I’m so happy I could scream
We manage with our fingers
no longer with our feet
remotely boot and troubleshoot
this new world is really sweet
Everything has changed
much more than rearranged
there’s no more patch and pray
this is a whole new day
even while the OS sleeps
you can make your updates, that is deep
the power’s where it should be
in I.T.
And managers like him
