OMG, so much time spend on getting this Vodafone K3765 (Huawei) USB dongle to work! I just used the wrong APN. So a hint to everybody: Can't get your 3G/UMTS/HSDPA dongle to work? Make sure you use the right APN. For me the NetworkManager gave me the wrong APN. So here are some right settings at least in The Netherlands:

If you're a bit like me and forced into using Windows for certain applications you're probably using RDP in some way. I usually put my RDP client (rdesktop) on a specific desktop and switch desktops using CTRL-ALT-LEFT and CTRL-ALT-RIGHT. You've probably noticed that it doesn't work unless you use '-K keep window manager key bindings' option. But if you do that you can't use ALT-TAB in Windows. Being really bothered about that I have a very simple patch for that. I'd like to treat CTRL-ALT-LEFT and RIGHT as special keys in rdesktop just like CTRL-ALT-TAB.

Tonight I was just checking out some web source to see what was going wrong on some site. WTF... this is not my source..., I suddenly noticed... Is my server hacked? Is my workstation hacked?

Just been trying to get a Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro(TM) device working with a linux system (Ubuntu Lucid). I only have what seems a usb bluetooth adapter (made in China) but it isn't doing very stable. At first I just setup the device using the bluetooth-wizard and a few bluetooth restarts. It did say it got connected but I get no input from the device. Generating a lot of input even crashes the bluetooth stack :( and sometimes renders the usb bluetooth dongle unusable until replugged in the computer :S.

I've alwasy been happy with the default settings of my webcams but now I got me a situation where the camera tries to refocus in low light conditions. Time for some controlling and since I don't have a gui I need a cli tool. Well just found me one: uvcdynctrl

RetroArch on the steamdeck to emulate the Amiga

It's nearing the end of the year. Time to feel nostalgic. I always seem to boot my Amiga around this time. So I thought it would be handy to just run my Amiga games on my Steamdeck attached to the TV.
