I’ve started getting used to having way too much to do. After replying the same sentences a number of times to people wanting my services, I’ve written them down. They’re in Norwegian (English speaking colleagues still get individual answers

All of a sudden, after using Thunderbird for Mail, GCalendar, Outlook Calendar, RSS feed reader for half a year (or maybe more), it all of a sudden got slow.
I then learned about compacting folders:

I had the odd problem with Joomla returning 403 errors sometimes for a given URL. Hitting browser reload once or twice after getting a 403
Really strange, had it only been always or never, I could have understood it. Anyways, making sure that all files had the correct permissions with a recursive:

Why cannot these people get it right? Every time I install a new kernel or an X related library, vmware breaks. How hard can this be?
Virtualbox gets it right every time, why cannot this big commercial company make software that compiles with the major open source projects X, GTK and Linux?
To fix this problem:
../../src/xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: [...]

I wanted to register for downloading the VMware server beta, but after spending an eternity filling out all “required fields”, I gave up. Appearantly, there’s someone who doesn’t know how to write javascript that actually understands that a user indeed has filled out all fields marked with an asterix.
And, ahm, no, it didn’t say which [...]
