after a little communication problem between my Application Manager & me
I got an email today stating that T&S 2 (the second set of questions in
the "tasks&skills" part for my New
Maintainer process) is finished, too.
the next part will now be a check of my packages which will be interesting,
too.

news from the hardware corner
gudrun lent me her old TFT (thanks!); it's small (15") but works much better
than the crappy old CRT I've been using for the last two days. at least I
won't turn blind until the samsung 226bw I've ordered today will arrive.
& philipp hast lent us an old machine called "phercab"
(thanks!) which has become guinan's fourth host body; i.e. I put
the two disks (& the NIC) into the machine, & after a little fsck'ing
guinan is up & running again.

dead, probably dead (x2?), alive again
coming home after a long work day I detected a strange smell in my room;
after some investigation it turned out that guinan's motherboard
has melted down; i.e. her third host body is dead for sure (offers for a
replacement welcome). well, no flat server at the moment.
more unpleasant is that it seems to have killed (via the kvm switch) my
TFT; need to check again, call the insurance company, probably buy a new
screen. — currently I'm typing in front of an old & not very
healthy 15" CRT; I hope the problem is fixed before I turn blind.
(oh, BTW, the kvm switch might be dead, too, at least keyboard & mouse
have stopped working several times.)
good news: my hero&hausmasta chrisu has soldered a —
whatever, the part to be able to connect to the serial port in my bricked fonera,
& after changing the RX/TX cables it really works with the serial
extension cable I have (&

cutecom as a terminal app).
some times later it works ("works" as in: I successfully
re-flashed & therewith de-bricked kes). the key was not to
transfer the needed files via cutecom and the
xmodem protocol but via tftp.
