My blog is going to change soon!
The 3rd design is in the making (this time by Fee Schmidt-Soltau). I want to thank Martina Karlsson for providing the first, Kah Wee Teng for providing the 2nd and Christian Leuenberg for taking the time to fix the defaced and broken bits of my blog’s template!

Opera released the final version of their 12th version of the web browser. It can be downloaded for free at http://opera.com/download . Unfortunately they released it with a pretty bad and unfortunate printer bug: When printing with my Canon LBP5050n the letters are printed over each other! Well, I have to admit I am pretty frustrated and unmotivated since Tim Altman left Opera Software and since then it appeared by the feedback I received from Opera, that nobody really cared anymore what was done and wrong with the Mail client they had. 2 years later I have a six-core CPU and updated HDDs and stuff and it’s still slow as shit. (Read my opinion about this here and follow the discussion there). Technorati Tags: Opera, Opera 12—- Wanna discuss this post? Then do it in my forum! 🙂—-
If you happen to have an ATI Mobility card and/or a SONY VAIO and wonder why you get get green stripes when you try to run the Mandriva 2011 live CD or Installation routine, then you are not alone.
Unfortunately Googling doesn’t help much as there is not much information regarding this, even if you do search after many different things. Just by poor accident and by being on my wits’ end, I stumbled over the “Dodgy Vga” post in the Mandriva Users Booard.
Simpy hit “tab” key at the start menu of the CD and add a “nomodeset” at the end of the atttributes line.
When you installed the system successfully you would run into the same issue. To avoid this, add the same “nomodeset” command in the extended settings of the GRUB boot manager (final step of installation!).
