After all this technical blabla I think its time to talk also a little bit on music, wah?
Couple of days ago I heard on my favorite radio station Funkhaus Europa the “La Dolce Vita” show. If you are interested here is the link to listen again and here is the link to listen live to Funkhaus Europa. What gets my attention on this show was the song “Si j’etais un homme” from “S Petit Nico”. Unfortunatelly I can not order the CD on Amazon. But I found the myspace page from “S Petit Nico” where you can listen to the song among others. Furthermore I found the music video on youtube:

I am going to shutdown the server and network and the phone system now for complete reinstall and hardware upgrade / exchange. Hopefully the phone will work in one hour again and the network right after. The server can take a little bit longer… May be the tux with me….

Just figured out together with DrScofield how to export the Display via an SSH tunnel after changing user to root via sudo. And hey it sound trivial but was not easy to find out. Here is the step by step way.
ssh -X server #as normal user
xterm #for testing if export display as normal user works
echo $DISPLAY #write it down
xauth #enters the shell of xauth
list # find the line with the display number from step 3 for me it was “wpsvm054/unix:12 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 071df2e12cfff0ed75fd0af5869665f7″ remember the first part of it
quit #to leave the shell
xauth extract filename system/unix:12 # the line from step 4.1
sudo su - # to become root
xauth merge filename # filename from step 5
export DISPLAY=:nummer.0 #Displaynumber from step 3 resp. 4.1
Lets find some slides on Microblogging, some videos and some examples. When I tell people about microblogging (or as some people call it “twitter“) they look at me like “what a freak!”. But let me try to explain why microblogging is realy something new and different from chat, blogs or SMS. First of all lets have a look on Slideshare what presentations are available on this topic.
Last weekend on the Barcamp in Stuttgart (#bc0711) I learned more about OpenStreetMap. Extreme impressing! What I really liked was the tremendous power of communities. Peter gave a very good presentation on Openstreetmap.
I plan to analyse at least one WEB 2.0 service per day and write a short blog on that.
Starting today with the “Otherinbox“. Nice combination of instant email service and web emailer. If you subscribe to the service you get a domain like ansi.otherinbox.com where you can use several email addresses like facebook@ansi.otherinbox.com or intershop@ansi.otherinbox.com. The service accepts all emails for this domain and shows them in a web based mailer in seperate folders. Nice and usefull. At the moment they are in closed beta but you can follow them on twitter at @otherinbox.
This post if more for myself then for others because you can find this information on many places. I bought a Garmin GPS Map 60 some time ago. It works great with Linux and the GPSBabel software. In order to transfer the loc files from the Geocaching.com side you can use this script:
This script converts all the *.loc files in one folder into one GPX and one KML file. the KML file can be placed on a webserver and then fiewed with google maps or via google earth. Here are some usefull commands:
