my server will be moved to a new datacenter. During that time, no services (this includes the mailing lists) will be available.
The downtime can potentially last from the 06.01.2012 00:00h until the 10.01.2012 00:00h.

Greetings
Felix

Update:
The server move was successful and the DNS records should have propagated around the world by now. There was no downtime at all

This semester was the first time I had to grade tests myself and now that the results have been published I can actually talk more open about it. Grading those tests was a lot of work that had to be done in very little time, as students want to know their grades as soon as possible after the test. I got kind of lucky, because those were math / statistics tests. It was still sometimes hard to follow all the steps through a student had (wrongly) taken. Sometimes I could just shake my had about how you can misread instructions to a complete extend. In my eyes, this is the main reason for failure.Well, as you can read from those words. Being on the other side of the test really changed my perspective for life. I can now – at least partly – understand those who grade and administer tests. And I hope, that this will in turn help me to be even better the next time I am again to take a test.

And now some pictures so you can get an idea about the sheer mass of tests that need to be graded. Imagine correcting all those tests within 3 days:

Lots of work

First tries to sort the work

Finally - all sorted out

Sorted VPH sheets

Before packing all up

Finally - all sorted, packed and ready to be "shipped out"

While there are plugins e.g. for Firefox, those are hard to use, you have to update them from time to time and if you, for whatever reason, use a different browser or two browsers, you would have to install multiple plugins / solutions to fix this annoyance.

Well, thank god there is Linux

Just write a little script, that will execute when you log out. For KDE3, this file can be put in ~/.kde3/Autostart. You might as well use ~/.bash_logout to start the script.

All the script needs to contain is:
#!/bin/bash
rm -r -f ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
exit

This  should delete all your Flash cookies upon logout.

If  your phone suddenly turns off, open the back cover and fully reinsert the battery wiring which attaches the battery to the phone. With a little bit of luck, this will solve the problem. I just don’t get why this was build this way.

The picture shows the relevant part:

Pico Rx-80

Hope this helps

When you do:
rpm -Uhv VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.rpm
You might get:
error: Failed dependencies:
VMwareWorkstation conflicts with VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386

This can be easily resolved by uninstalling the old version of VMWare Workstation prior to the update. This can be done using your favorite package manager.

Hope this helps
