If terminal applications keep the main part of a computer session, customizing their configuration files makes them looking nicer and improves the use of them.
To follow the first post about the dot files, I continue to publish mines and add those for the X terminal, screen and ncmpcpp.
Let’s share your colors!

Hello,
some days ago I installed my incredibly cheap, powerful and nice new mainboard, CPU and RAM (AMD AthlonII X4 620, Biostar TA785G3, 4GB DDR3-1333 (7-7-7-20)).
Having used my old hardware for quite some time now (AMD Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2100, DFI AD77 Infinity) I decided to get new hardware. Basically the decision was not driven by the need for speed but rather by the nifty virtualization features current CPUs provide.
Checking the market revealed that for no obvious reason Intel decided against the users and all CPUs not costing the rough equivalent of a small car are out of scope. So I was with AMD, again. That’s a good thing because AMD thought that it is a good choice to have only 1 basic CPU layout and sell the partially broken chips with deactivated broken parts for less money under different names.
This means that next to every CPU they sell right now whether it is named Athlon X2, Athlon X3 or Phenom or even Sempron is in fact a complete Phenom II with deactivated parts. The parameters for deactivation are AMDs secrets…
So I bought a 4core CPU with a deactivated 3rd level Cache: AthlonII X4 620
I wanted to keep my old hard drives and the rest of the machine, at least for now.
So I thought I’d rip out the old stuff, tighten the screws of the new stuff boot up and be ready!
No… that was not the thing that was about to happen… After having everything put in the right place the machine tried to boot but was unable to find the right logical volume (lvm) because the new boards PATA/IDE device was now called /dev/hdc instead of /dev/hda!
I have moved a few services to the SSL-secured area on the webserver of develz.org. Most notably the WordPress Admin area, the Site Stats and also the new WebMail interface.
Of course I am not going to pay for an officially accepted SSL certificate. You can either accept the site certificate automatically offered to you by your webbrower or install the self-signed CA certificate which is available here.
Note about the Site Stats: Everybody who can write articles can view the stats. Just log in with the user-name and password you use for the Blog.
Alright, alright.. I finally installed a webmail interface :)
In a short time I only had a look at three options: Horde, SquirrelMail and RoundCube
A whole framework with online-office functionality would be a bit much for simple emailing – so I decided against Horde.
And keeping up with all the exploits and problems about SquirrelMail is just too exhausting.
RoundCube it is! Nice, smooth and simple user-interface. KISS – address-book and spell-checking being the only gimmicks :D
I added a link in the Meta section on the bottom right shown after logging in to the Blog. Everyone already having a mailbox enabled can immediately log in. Anyone interested pass me a note – it just takes a few seconds to enable your access.
Hello here.
As a first post, I wish to initiate some kind of melting pot for our dotfiles.
I mean that we can share together the configuration of our common applications, and find the magic tip we never know, or simply discover new tools through the neighbor files.
I begin for now with the three well known Zsh, Vim and Mutt. You can browse my dotfiles here.
More configurations will income soon. But I need to extract it, make it presentable and remove personal informations from it.
Feel free to comment!
Hi there,
Today I’d like to tell you a little bit about people who gave the German word “beratungsresistent” a meaning.
Most of you have heard about those but the rest of you have already seen such specimen or even had the pleasure of dealing with a representative of that group.

Did you know we are not allowed to shit in the corner on Aliens’ Wrath?…
