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.
