And its working, made this pic with my iphone, but everything is working on the aspire one

Alltho i havent been posting that much lately, im still quite alive. Turned 26 last weekend and just relaxed a bit in the holidays, enjoying dinner with my family and just gaming a bit to relax.

My netbook was working with Mac OSX (Aspire One) until i screwed something up with a kext driver thingie. Dont know what yet, so i will have to work that out. Eventually i will most likely succeed in getting it working properly. And maybe ill get my normal laptop running on it aswell, sounds like an interesting challenge to get it all working on my Aspire 5920g.

For the rest … antispam and antivirus on my mailserver stopped working, which is incredibly annoying since now i get spammed to death. Will transfer it all to a newly installed mailserver with working antispam and antivirus.

And I’m still dating Tiril. Have not seen her this christmas tho and I really did miss her alot. Hopefull i get the chance to see her in february. Lova ya Tiril.

Hey there!

Well, still playing with the Aspire one. Actually had OSX Leopard 10.5.5 running on it, untill i rebooted … When I rebooted, it just kept on telling me to restart using the power button .. So I abandoned that for a while, and wondered if the device was powerfull enough to run Windows XP Pro on it. There are offcourse windows xp versions of the device, but this one was the linux version with the ultra crap SSD.

It is actually highly possible to run XP on it. It just requires some optimizations:

• Turn off the page file (not recommended if you have 512mb ram or less)
• Turn off prefetch
• Remove all not needed windows components (and linux users, dont say format c: /q, i said components, not remove windows itself)
• Turn off all not needed services.
• Turn off shadow copy services and system restore points

This will ensure that the harddisk is used as little as possible. And if you upgraded the ram in the little device like i did, it will run very smoothly. You will notice that its a slow SSD when you run windows updates, that takes about twice to three times as long as on a normal machine with a proper harddisk.

Next plan is to get OSX working properly on it, so i can play around with it. Just to try it out to see if i want to buy a real macbook.

Bought myself an aspire one earlier this week. Its a nice small litttle laptop which i can use for all sorts of small tasks. Its currently set up with a tweaked version of ubuntu EEE 8.04.1.

Its running smoothe and its optimized to use the SSD as little as possible, might consider replacing it with a 1.8 inch pata drive. Since that is less prone to failure and also faster since the normal ssd in the aspire one is a piece of shit.

But overall its a nice little netbook which runs fine after you tweaked it. Ubuntu EEE on aspire one is not recommended for people who do not know what they are doing since it will not help them use the netbook better. For me its just fun to play around with it and i like ubuntu more then any other distro.

Will continue to expiriment with the netbook.

Yes it’s true no hacks no unlock sims. It works by updating through itunes. Took em a while, but I’m a happy camper now

The Untouchables have been working on this boss for a little while now and are getting closer to actually killing him. Getting better at moving and shifting positions whenever needed. Now just a bit of luck and a bit more practice, and we should be okay. I will offcourse post a picture if/when we kill him.

About 4 months ago, I fell in love with a girl in Trondheim. Her name is Tiril. I went on vacation to visit a friend, just like I did the year before to sweden. Was not expecting to fall in love with her.

But then I arrived in Trondheim and she was there to pick me up. When I saw her standing there, i was just amazed and fell in love harder then I ever did before. Never really was a firm believer of love at first sight, but yet it happened. Got out a nice hello and a hug (couldnt say much else … women are not my strongest point) and we went outside for a smoke. We talked a bit and most of my answers were fairly short.

Later that day we both felt a bit of tension between us, since we both knew something more was going on .. and I kissed her. It felt great and at that moment I couldnt be any happier. That kiss was what i was thinking about whole day long. And with that kiss … I was sold (I allready was, but that kiss sealed the deal basicly). We had a lovely 2 weeks there and it was so hard for me to go home again. Finally found the love I was looking for and then having to leave it …

When I got home I was a bit depressed cause my baby was in Trondheim and not with me. That week we talked about her coming here and she would come and visit me in holland whenever she could. And she was able to get the time off to come over here.

First she came here for a week and in that week I showed her around Gouda. And it felt so good having her here with me, I felt like a million bucks. And with every passing day she was with me, I loved her more. That week went by faster then any week and she had to go home again for a few more weeks, after which she would be back for another 2 weeks.

Dropping her off at the airport was not fun at all, and when we finally said our goodbyes (hell it only took us 30 minutes to say goodbye) I walked away. Walked back to the car and I went back home. Tiril arrived back home and worked for few weeks and then she got back here again. Waiting at the airport felt like an eternity, but eventually I found her at the airport and had her with me for another 2 weeks.

In those 2 weeks we did alot of things. I took her for a nice 2 days in the efteling. We went to the beach in schevening, had lunch and shopped in the centre of Gouda a few times, went to see madurodam. And offcourse spent time at the house. Every day I would rush home from work, just so I could see her faster. And usually went to bed way too late, just to enjoy every minute with her. I dont know what it is, but whenever im with Tiril, I feel better, more complete. Whenever she isnt with me (like now), I just feel less … cant explain it. But those 2 weeks also ended.

The goodbye at the airport was even worse for me then the time before. Took about the same amount of time, but this time I knew I wasnt going to see her for a few months. And that made it a lot harder for us. Eventually we did manage to say goodbye to eachother and gave eachother a last hug and kiss. Just watching her walk off into the airport .. trying to catch a last glimpse of her. Anything would do …

And then I went back home again, feeling a bit empty … lonely. And I know she feels the same way. Since that goodbye I havent seen her. But shes on my mind basicly 24/7. We talk on MSN alot and we skype whenever im home. Last night tho we also turned on the webcams. That was the first time I saw her again since I left her @ Schiphol. I was happy when I saw her beautifull face again. Just to see her sitting behind her computer, even when she wasnt all dressed up and everything, was great. The most beautifull thing ever. But when we hung up and went to bed again after, I missed her more, couldnt get that picture out of my head. Imagining what it would be like to touch her again, kiss her again. Or just to be near her again.

For Tiril:

I miss you baby, every second of every day. I love you alot and wouldnt know what I would do without you. I hope i see you again soon, or else ill go mad :|. You mean more to me then any other woman did before. I hope it stays that way for a long time and I hope you will love me back for a long time.
