Finally a Photoshop version that runs great in Linux without much hassle. Unfortunately getting the installer to work is tricky (tried a bunch of various tricks and nothing seemed to work) so you have to install it in Windows and copy it from there. Just follow this simple how-to: Install Photoshop CS5 in Ubuntu Maverick [...]
I have been flashing my HTC Tattoo every now and again with different roms. Currently the Eclair 2.1 roms are too unstable and features are still missing (camera support, etc), but the hacked 1.6 roms are getting pretty sweet. The best rom I have seen so far is Chtulhu rom. It is worth trying out [...]

About a month ago I installed ethernet cables in all the rooms in our apartment. A really nice thing about new apartments is that it was just a matter of pulling cables through the tubes already laid under the floors and then setting up my router in the closet in the hall where all the [...]

After messing around with Mediatomb’s transcoding facilities I now have a working setup that allows me to listen to my Vorbis and FLAC encoded tracks via my PS3. The main trick is that Mediatomb 0.12 is required for this to work, so you need to check out the source code from the Mediatomb repository and [...]

I got a PS3 yesterday and obviously wanted it to have access to the media on my computer. Well, apt-get install mediatomb and all was good! I must really admit that setting up a UPnP media server probably couldn’t be easier, and the MediaTomb Web UI is so simple and easy to use. A pure [...]

I signed up for 3G internet on my phone the other day, since I am currently in the middle of moving to my new apartment and probably wont have “real” internet for a while. I have a Nokia N95 8GB and using it as a USB modem is actually rather simple, only took a fifteen [...]
Installed Kubuntu the other day and upgraded KDE to version 4.1. Except for two small, pretty annoying bugs, I am still very impressed. The bugs are probably due to some applications not fully supporting 4.1 yet. I encountered a lot of crashes at first but solved this problem by deleting .kde and .kde4 in my [...]
Why is it that most portable media player manufacturers do not support the ogg and flac format? You can buy a new “mp3″ player at any super market, for nearly no money, and they all support mp3, wav, mp4, wmv, etc. But not ogg. Why not support open formats when it is absolutely free? Of [...]
The software that comes along with the wonderful Nokia N95 8GB does not run in Linux. It might be possible to run it via wine but so far I have not gotten it to work (the installer crashes). However, transferring files between the phone and your computer via bluetooth is as painless as can be. [...]
I ended up needing Windows for various reason, so I decided to set up dual booting on my MacBook. I like the rEFIt bootloader which is a nice EFI bootloader and this guide explains the few steps needed in order to dual (or triple boot if you want OS X as well) a MacBook. This [...]
