I installed eBox on a Shuttle XPC. Now I have a Linux firewall at home. And it has some other stuff like file sharing and OpenVPN.

It was very easy and works quite well.

You can find more about eBox here:

I have been on holiday. Made some photos. Check them out!

Here’s a one:

That's me chillin'

I just updated my phone with some new software. It now includes a facebook app and I can upload a photo right after taking it It also has wayfinder 8 now and sms conversations. Very nice!

Been busy tweeting too. Check out http://twitter.com/starquake64

Finally a screenshot of my desktop at work:

Nice dual display wallpaper of lily allen!

I changed my default domainname from linuxeverywhere.org to starquake.nl! The old one will stay available. I think i’ll be adding some personal stuff now.

and I like it!!! It’s nice and small but packed with features. The webcam is very good too. And I like the way it resumes from standby in about a second.

I ordered a MacBook with a US keyboard. I don’t live in the US so I have to wait longer for it. It should arrive the 16th of October. And I must say, having to wait that long is getting annoying!

Oh well, it will even be a bigger surprise once it arrives…

Since I’m going back to school I sold my Mac Mini and bought a Mac Book. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Don’t know if I’m gonna install Ubuntu or stick with Mac OS X. I’ll certainly install Ubuntu once just to see what I prefer. Maybe I’ll install it dual boot.

Will post some pics when it arrives.

Yesterday I found some nice songs covered by Lily Allen, spend 4 dollars and they were mine. I really love them! The songs are : Cheryl Tweedy, Naïve (originally by the Kooks), Nan You’re a Window Shopper and Everybody’s Changing (originally by Keane).

Soon the new album of Keane will be out too. Can’t wait!

I also found some music that really sounds like those old tunes on those computers from the 80’s.

You can listen to one here.

Last weekend I’ve been to Rock Werchter and it was great! I liked Radiohead the most. They were amazing! Bought a shirt and a sweater. Other bands I liked are: The Chemical Brothers, The Hives, Editors, Beck, Kings of Leon and Mark Ronson.

Been listening to Editors the last few days and I like it. I might buy a cd or two.

Haven’t been kiting for a while now. The weather has been bad lately and I’ve been busy with other stuff. I’ll probably go again in a few weeks.

Anyway, I can’t wait to go to Rock Werchter! Some great artists are coming this year. My favorite is Radiohead, which is enough for me to go. Some other artists that I like that are coming : Mark Ronson, Adele, Kate Nash, Beck, Underworld, Soulwax, The Chemical Brothers, KT Tunstall, Nightwish. Sounds nice, don’t you think?

Been listening to Beck and Soulwax too to get in the mood. Also been listening to some bands I’m not familiar with that are going to be on Rock Werchter. Digitalism sounds nice.
