next step
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 (&
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
helfpul links:

one less
after one year of living here, caro
moved to her new flat this weekend; today she came to say goodbye
& give us the flat key.
david & me have decided not to look for a new flatmate; david will take the room as his bedroom, & this flat will become a "two-old-men-with-beards-&-glasses-shared-apartment".
