Da waren sie wieder, meine drei Probleme. Mal ernsthaft, ich habe nach dieser Ankündigung mal schnell ein rsync zwischen meinen Kalendern durchgeführt und festgestellt, dass ich am Donnerstag bei den Hamburger Perlmongern vorbeischauen könnte, so es da ein Treffen geben sollte. Leider hat die Hamburger Messe ihre Planung gemacht ohne mit mir Rücksprache zu nehmen. Kurz und gut, ich bin am Donnerstag abend in HH. Äußerst ärgerlich, aber leider unumgänglich. Ich werde meinen Vortrag also im April halten. Vielleicht ist er dann sogar noch etwas runder, denn mir stehen wieder etliche Stunden Bahnfahrt ins Haus und dann noch 2 Wochen Urlaub...

Die sind nicht umsonst so günstig. Was die Hardwarekompatibilität angeht kann ich mit meinem recht zufrieden sein, da inzwischen alles prima läuft. Aber der Support: grauenvoll. Wenn also mal was kaputt gehen sollte kannst Du Dich auf Spaß gefasst machen (das Notebook wird nicht wie angekündigt zwischen 9 und 18 Uhr abgeholt, es kommt zurück und der Fehler ist immer noch nicht behoben, die verschmeißen bei der Installation das alte Gehäuse [inkl. M$-Produkt-Key] und sind nicht in der Lage Dir Ersatz zu schicken etc pp.) Auch die Robustheit lässt zu wünschen übrig (selbst siemensintern habe ich es erlebt, dass aus diesem Grund stattdessen auf Toshiba umgestiegen wurde).

Unter M$-Windows verrichten alle Komponenten klaglos ihren Dienst! ;-) Unter Linux funktioniert zumindest Suspend-to-disk ohne Probleme. (Was man von Suspend-to-RAM, und einem Großteil der ACPI-Funktionalität nicht gerade behaupten kann.) Das eingebaute *Winmodem* ist mit einem 2.6er Kernel nicht zur Zusammenarbeit zu bewegen. Eigentlich schade, da es mit einem 2.4er ging. Zur Strafe habe ich ein PCMCIA-Modem für astronomische 6 oder 7 EUR erworben, dass gut unterstützt wird. Aber bisher habe ich das Modem auch nur im Ausland wirklich gebraucht. Für's Programmieren ist das aber nicht kriegsentscheidend. Meine Prämissen waren: - Qualität und Schnelligkeit des Service - Schreibgefühl der Tastatur - Verarbeitung/Stabilität des Gerätes (Gehäuse, Display-Scharniere etc.) - Nichtvorhandensein eines Touchpads (der greuligsten Erfindung neben Mobiltelefonen mit ployphonen Klingeltönen) - Lautstärke - Größe (Ich wollte auf jeden Fall nicht über 14" Displaygröße kommen, da ich mir sonst einen größeren Rucksack hätte anschaffen müssen.) Aber nu is ja eh alles zu spät, der Steffen hat schon zugeschlagen.

Was muss man da kommentieren. Ich schwöre auf IBM Notebooks auch wenn meines - und darum ging es, denn Hannes hat beim Perlworkshop meine Versuche ACPI zum Laufen zu bringen, hautnah miterlebt - unter Linux nur mit 97% seiner Möglichkeiten läuft. Ich würde es trotzdem nie wieder hergeben. ;-) > Suspend-to-RAM > funktioniert mit aktuellen Kernen größtenteils, d.h. so, dass man es > benutzen kann. Suspend-to-Disk geht ebenfalls (nicht perfekt, aber das > kann ja noch werden). Zumindest mit aktuellen Modellen. Oh ja, in in den RAM schreibt er, nur mit Erwachen wird es nichts. Suspend-to-Disk geht nur als die kerneleigene Softwarevariante. Die Kernelmodule für Processor, FAN und Temperatur lassen den Kern einfrieren. Bekanntermassen ist die ACPI-Tabelle des Notebooks kaputt. > Siehe auch ibm-acpi.sf.net. Das schaue ich mir gleich mal an, vielleicht ist Hilfe in Sicht. > > gerade behaupten kann.)

Jeweils die neueste Version wurde getestet. Das es grundsätzlich gehen müsste ist schon klar, aber Sätze wie "Leider gab es zum Zeitpunkt der Distributionserstellung noch keine Treiber für Winmodems passend zum Kernel 2.6.x. Die einzige Ausnahmen bilden der SmartLink Treiber, welcher noch im letzten Moment den Sprung auf unsere Distribution schaffte, sowie der ltmodem Treiber von Lucent." machen mir klar, dass ich natürlich wie immer im Besitz nicht unterstützter Hardware bin. Aber das Problem ist bei den Besitzern meines Modells bekannt. >> - Nichtvorhandensein eines Touchpads (der greuligsten Erfindung > > neben Mobiltelefonen mit ployphonen Klingeltönen) > Fast alle aktuell kaufbaren Modelle haben zusätzlich ein Touchpad. Ja, eben. Furchtbar. Ich habe einige Zeit gesucht um eins ohne zu finden.

Though the shiny GUI is astonishingly useless (or at least too mouse-friendly) for all but the simplest changes, there's plenty to automate under the shell. Thomas Herchenroeder explains how he wrapped dnscmd with Perl to make changes easily. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/03/24/perl_dns.html ***make for Nonprogrammers If you're a typical FreeBSD user, you may never have compiled C source code on your own. Yet if you've ever issued a make command, it's compiled code for you. How does it do that? What does it do, anyway? And what else can it do? Dru Lavigne answers all of these questions. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/03/24/FreeBSD_Basics.html ***Closed Source PHP A look at the many different options PHP Developers have for protecting their source code from prying eyes when creating commercial PHP Applications. http://www.sitepoint.com/blog-post-view.php?id=238739 --------------------- Mac --------------------- ***Movies Made Easy in iPhoto 5 One of the best features in the current crop of consumer digital still cameras is their ability to capture high-quality video. iPhoto 5 is in step with this evolution and provides a great environment for taking those snippets and creating real movies. Derrick Story shows you how. http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/03/22/iphoto_movies.html ***Exploring the Mac OS X Firewall Like so many tools built in to Mac OS X, the firewall just works. But what's really going on inside it? Peter Hickman explains why the firewall works so well, and then takes you inside and shows you how to fiddle with things.

To James, the benefits of increased transparency through the use of blogs cannot be understated. James is the author of "Visual Studio Hacks." http://dotavery.com/blog/archive/2005/03/28/2767.aspx ***Miguel de Icaza Explains How to "Get" Mono It's perhaps the most controversial project in the open source world, but this mostly stems from misunderstanding: Mono, the open source development platform based upon Microsoft's .NET framework. Immediate reactions from many dubious Linux developers have ranged from confusion over its connection with .NET to wondering what the benefits of developing under it are. Throughout the course of its four years of intense development, sponsored by Novell, Mono founder Miguel de Icaza has had to frequently clarify the .NET issue and sell the community on it. In this new interview, Howard Wen asks Miguel to explain himself one more time. http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2005/03/21/interviewmiguel.html --------------------- Java --------------------- ***Flexible Event Delivery with Executors Event-handling is critical to any GUI application, and many developers know the hazards of making a method call to unknown or poorly behaved code from the event-dispatch thread. J2SE 5.0's concurrency utilities offer more fine-grained control over how code executes. Andrew Thompson applies that to offer better ways to handle events. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/03/23/executors.html ***Java Component Development: A Conceptual Framework In general terms, a component is one or more classes with an external API that satisfy some requirement. But how do you build components that are really practical--that handle configuration changes or third-party integration well? Palash Ghosh has some ideas about the concepts behind components. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/03/23/components.html --------------------- Digital Media --------------------- ***HDTV on Your Mac Even though the Mac is a little late to the HDTV party, you can roll your own setup for not too much time or money.
