Safety first
Thanks to liiwi for pointing me to Naval Safety Center. It has an effect similar to reading so called women's magazines: you'll instantly feel smart!

Does it work, or doesn't it?
Has anyone build and tried the Fluxite device? Well, does it work?

UFOs on Linux
UFO: Alien Invasion looks good! I cannot wait to compile it for my Kubuntu.

"PM me!"
On #ubuntu and #kubuntu one often sees people use the acronym pm. After initial shock I figured out they mean "private message". That is /msg to the dinosaurs like me. But where did this PM stuff come from? Does some irc client actually support /pm ?

Thanks for the upgrade!
Seems that the recent CUPS upgrade in Ubuntu Dapper fixed the printing problem with HP LaserJet 1022. Now I just need to figure out whether I'll want a really long usb cable for a usb-to-netprinting device.

HP LaserJet 1022 in Ubuntu
HP Laserjet is not that easy in Ubuntu. Installs seemingly fine, but prints nothing. I'm suspecting a slightly older hplip version (0.9.7 vs 0.9.9 on my old machine). I'll try compiling the newest one to see if it helps.

Trendipelleilyä
Trendi-lehdestä soittivat ja onnittelivat voitosta jossakin arvonnassa. Pitkän onnittelun ja hehkutuksen jälkeen kävi ilmi että olin 'voittanut' puolentoista vuoden Trendit hintaan 50 euroa. En jäänyt kuuntelemaan että olisiko 'voitto' ollut automaattisesti jatkuva kestotilaus.

Moving to Treo, the wrong way
The wrong way to move to Treo 650 is by taking the backup card of TungstenE and restoring the backups onto the Treo. a lot of unnecessarily files will end up moved, causing annoyingly much of the Treo memory to be used.
