Mute Palm Tungsten E, all silent
Today my Palm Tungsten E was all quiet. No matter how I made it beep, no sound came out. I got a bit worried. After all this is my schedule and notebook, all wrapped in one. Reboot did nothing. Sound was on high, but nothing could still be heard. Eventually I plugged in headphones and got beeping through that. I thought the speaker had broken. Damn!
But stubborn as I am, I unplugged the speakers and tried again. Sure enough, there was sound now. I'm a happy camper again.

Scary sounds
I'm so not used of listening to my own voice that the latest episode of Uncomfortable Questions scares me. I hope I will have the courage to listen to it eventually.

Free bicycles!
It's interesting what kind of things make a hotel stay more enjoyable. It's really really nice to stay in a hotel in the Netherlands and get a bike to use, for free. At least the Mercure Hotel in Groningen offers free bike rental for it's customers. And as .nl is quite flat, bikes are the way to get around in the town.

What do other kubuntu users have in their debfoster?
If you are a kubuntu user and use debfoster, I'm really nosy about what you have in your /var/lib/debfoster/keepers file.
I have found that with Ubuntu (compared to Debian) I am often wondering whether I want to keep something the distriution pushes as me. Today I unkept some braille stuff as my laptop is unable to do braille anyway. And some reiserfs stuff, which I'm not planning to use.
