Manowar gig in Fürth

Music's my life

This concert of Manowar was absolutely great. Never did I experience anythings as loud as that. They performed so great on stage.

But, in “Stadthalle Fürth” some bad word threw a stink bomb. The air-conditioning system could never cope with that. So the smell was horrible. After the concert, I put my clothes on the balcony.

Well, anyway, I will try to get a ticket for them again.

Remote Desktop Connection between UltraVNC SC Server and a listening client on Linux

Linux Tools

Recently, my cousin was asking me for help with her computer. Traveling for 500 km just to help her, is too expensive. So I was looking for an easy remote access tool. I didn’t want to explain for two hours, how to install VNC-Server.

Second thing: I wanted to make sure, that I can listen under Linux. It’s simply too complicated to always switch between two operating systems.

What I found was:

UltraVNC SC

This tool comes helpful, if you want somebody to just click, and the connection will be established. You have to create a txt-file, upload it, and your personal .exe will be created. There are enough UltraVNC howtos online, so I don’t want to go into detail here.

The interesting thing is. If you want to listen with Linux, you can try several VNC-derivatives. Sometimes, connections have been established, but you didn’t get pictures. So, finally, I used wine and downloaded a ultravnc-viewer only. And ran it under Linux like that:

wine vncviewer.exe -listen

Then I started the created UltraVNC SC program. And: et voila, it was working.

Some people are asking google strange questions…

Server

Hey, today, I found in my logfile, that somebody was looking for that phrase:

hp+c3600+what+can+it+be+useful

*rofl*

Don’t know, whether he/she got an answer. But I can answer it now: It can’t be useful. Because it is slow, heavy, complicated and consumes more energy than an average aircraft.

The only thing it absolutely is: It is cool. If you wanna show off, have it. (I have two HP workstations. C3600 and B1000)

:-)

BTW: He/she ended up here.

Moving - Now I am perfect at that

/var/log/life/markus.log

We moved our flat again. This time, we found a flat, which is bigger than our last one (83² instead of 64 m²). Now we have:

- a sleeping room
- a kitchen
- a living room
- a room for working
- a bath room
- and a nice corridor

Actually, I don’t want to move again so soon. It’s not funny. But thanks to my friends, we were able to move most of the things within one weekend.

The internet is working - that’s the most important thing.

Finally, I am also happy, that we found a nice neighbor. One like this seems to exist in any house. She is hanging at the window all day. And there, she notices everything. For example, that I was parking our car at the wrong parking space. When I introduced ourselves, she said: “Ah, yeah, I know. You are the one, who parked the car t h r e e times in the wrong space.” I was like: “Uhm, yeah.” It’s not even her parking space…

Whateva. We will enjoy our nice place now. More space for us and even for a dining table.
