2005-07-06: No Software Patents in Europe

The European Parliament voted against the controversial software patents directive. There will be no software patents in Europe!

2005-07-05: War of the Worlds

Only one sentence: StarWars III is a great film!

2005-07-03: Acrobat Reader on AMD64

Actobat Reader (32-bit) is finally working on my Ubuntu AMD64-box (breezy) again! Great! :)

Update: To restore the default Ubuntu theme (Human) for 32-bit GTK+ applications, copy

libclearlooks.la and
libclearlooks.so

from this rpm (the 32-bit library from Ubuntu has an undefined symbol) to

/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines

and set

GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0

prior to running the 32-bit application. This works for VMware and Acrobat.
