Check this. Today I uninstalled Windows XP SP2.
I beta tested SP2RC2 and after installing SP2 (without uninstalling RC2) I *let’s put it this way* wasn’t happy with it.
However… After uninstalling SP2 my keyboard, mouse, touchscreen (it’s all USB) didn’t work.
The only way of input I could think of were the hardware buttons on top of my Tablet PC, which allowed me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Enter.
My username was still there, but there was NO WAY I could enter the password.
So I downloaded the bootdisk (check link below). Funny enough all of the input devices I just mentioned were functioning properly running Linux that booted off the bootdisk and allowed me to reset my password to blank.
After successfully logging on with the blank password, Windows started to recognize all my hardware and as I’m writing this piece I even reinstalled my password.
Pffffff. Thank Open Source there’s Linux! 🙂

distcc exit
Hmmm. Nadat David en Martijn hadden ontdekt dat ik, inmiddels enthousiast distcc’er op onze JENNA, voor een behoorlijke aanvullende factuur voor dataverkeer had gezorgd, heb ik besloten om distcc de deur uit te zetten.
Helaas beschikken we (ik) nog niet over voldoende infratructuur om distcc lokaal enige compileerzeilen bij te kunnen laten zetten, dus dan maar helemaal geen distcc meer.
Jammer. We gaan op zoek naar iets goedkopers 🙂
Supercast Streaming Audio Server
Hmmm. Do you have tons of gigabytes MP3 at home and were you still looking for an easy way to stream this nice music, so you can enjoy it on the road?
I haven’t checked out the link below, but I will soon.
