30th june 1999

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine on WWW.Stun.de, which IMHO is much
better and lightning
faster than the Excite WS one. It works with PHP3 and MySQL and the
generated Index is
much smaller. (And it’s small and fast, a russian program, perfect
!!!!)

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine also on my local machine and deleted
Excite.
It’s so much space now

I finally found a useful howto to the gnuplot tool, although
everything is written
in japanese there, I had no big problems to find the right
explanations.
Fixed the gnuplot date display and finished the Linux-Developement
graph script.
Also did some minor updates to the virtual webserver statistic
graphs, more space
on the left side, lines instead of boxes and smaller zoom.

Now localized all my dual celeron project components, so I can buy
them this week,
maybe. I’m just thinking if it’s not better to buy an alpha machine
for almost the
same money ? Board+533Alpha=2400.- DM 2Cel466+Board+Socket=1600.-
DM ????? Hmmm.

29th june 1999

“Expect” is still not working, out of PTY’s, I can’t believe
I compiled in 512 now in the kernel, instead of the usual
256,
and my former 64 setting. So there must be a library problem
too.
Obviously in libexpect5.28.so.

Finally I’m ill. And I feel much down….

28th june 1999

Started programming of the Kernel-Developement Graph Plotter,
and it works, except for the Gnuplot date axis.
Can someone help me with this please, the demo code from NASA
is gone, and I almost gave up hacking to format the x-axis
as a date graph. “set timefmt” and “set xdata time” doesn’t
work.

Wrote a shellscript to tail-f the actual RC5 Proxylog.
Fascinated by the ease of use I’ll complete a HTML generation
in the next days I guess.

Downloaded some new japanese songs from Riechan.
Of course using Greed and not a browser.

Rebootet my machine, and see …. no more IP delayed timing
problems. So I hope that someone keeps tracking this
behaviour
after some productiv uptime. In my case 7 days and high load
up to 3.2 and little network traffic 260kB/s was enough.

27th june 1999

Enhanced the spidercode and wrote some howtos.
Updated the Stun.de Hardware Page.

Mirrored some of the japanese cooking pages from the web.

Transferred the completed Boogie BIO’s to Boogie.Stun.de.

Copied my digital photos to Andys.Stun.de.

26th june 1999

More programming for www.stun.de. This time, did some updates
to the linux news section, with complete rewrite of the
caching
and polling code. Now it’s much more efficient, and no more
timeouts can occur. Also included the spider tracking engine,
which should end in a statistic page to count browser usage.

25th june 1999

Took a lot of pictures with the digital camera in our garden,
and discovered that transferring the pictures via the
pcmcia-adapter
of my laptop really is the final, solution.
(Accessing via drive letter, cool, and lightning fast.
No chance for USB and ASYNC.)

Did a lot of PHP3-programming for www.stun.de, (admins) see
the
last.php3 page for the code. It accepts a path value which
displays
all files in this path with the last modified date and
additionally
changing colors for updates within the last day, week or
month.
Further I included a nameserver-query page, and a manual page
viewer,
also just for admins.

24th june 1999

“It’s Backupday, my favourite day…” (Do you know
Bastard Operator from Hell?)
Again started backup on 60m tapes and it now works.

After tetsting Kernel 2.2.10 for a while, it seems that the IP
timing problem
from 2.2.2 is back. So I think we stay on 2.2.9 with the DoS
security patch
on WWW.Stun.de.

Got my Digital camera today, a Kodak DC240 and shot a lot of
pictures, but I
cannot publish them yet, first because of to less diskspace on
netsurf, and
second because of the nonworking gphoto.
By the way, serial transmission costs so much power that I want to
wait for
USB support being stable under Linux.

Finally gave up playing with the camera because the bundled video
cable is
for the DC265 and not DC240. Great !

My ISP Netsurf is again unreachable, so that’s finally why it has
become more
cheap last month.

23rd june 1999

Bought one of these always talking furbies, to got some
entertainment,
when hacking on my boogie code. Ups, he’s awake again… saying
“Huu !”
I think I’ll connect him to the computer someday and enhance
his
sensores.

Sent away the embassy-papers and package for Aya.

Found a lot of circuits on the internet for building small
toy(study)-robots.
I printed them all and will start reconstructing some of
them.

Switched two netware servers from token-ring to
fast-ethernet.

Backuped WWW.Stun.de, and encountered problems with 120m tapes. Hmm
?

Got NFS working on Zuse1 to backup from WWW.Stun.de.

“Furby is going to sleep, now…. ts ts ts, great entertainment”
))

Downloaded gphoto, and discovered that the Kodak DC240
support
is not even comitted in the CVS tree. Maybe in a few weeks…
?

22nd june 1999

Bought some of the last components for my MP3-Player.

Did some minor updates to the boogie pages on Boogie.Stun.de.

Will compile 2.2.10 for WWW.Stun.de this evening, I guess.
(I didn’t.)

21st june 1999

Ordered my digital still cam Kodak DC240. But I do hard,
waiting…..

Sound doesn’t work anymore, with 2.2.10… hmmm, looks like a
dependecy
problem. Had no time yet to track down further.

My notice is now official, and everyone knows that I quit my old
job.

The embassy papers for Aya are on their way. Hopefully.

(So I hope everyone can understand my stress in the last weeks, and
that
there are not that much boogie updates as usual in the last
time.
Sorry guys.)

Internet works this evening, and people who must know, told me that
the
german IN-XS, one of the major german internet backbones, got
smoked.
)) Wow, this is how it must be the day
after. (Just additionally
without telephone and electric power.) Hmm, not nice.

20th june 1999

Still no connection to the internet.

Uli called me and ask for Netsurf (our internet provider)
20 minutes after KAP called me and asked the same.
Maybe it would be better if I do the support for Netsurf,
by myself ??? ))))) Am I callcenter or what ?

I start to wonder why my provider decreased the monthly fee.

Reyk also called me, at night, if I can access their webpages
(online stocks) and he sounded quite nervous…. keep cool,
it seems that the whole german internet or at least some of
the
bigger providers are heavily knocked out.

Is that the punishment for not joining the internet
demonstration
day a week ago ????

Uli PPPpolled my machine and downloaded the new linux kernel
via FTP. So who needs providers, we can do it by ourselves.

Therefore nothing to do. Tried to upgrade to the new
raidtools,
but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s still invalid argument,
even when completely new created.

19th june 1999

A hard they working, almost 14 hours.
After upgrading some SCSI-drivers I experienced a BIOS
problem,
which doesn’t allow my old drivers to run on an old
hardware…
very obscure… I’ll write an explanation on monday, I think.

Bad day. My internet connection is broken….
And my RC5 is running out of keys.

18th june 1999

Today I got my MP3 hardware for constructing my own player,
but I’m missing some minor components as well as a software
to
run it from linux.

17th june 1999

Sent my notice today.

Big shopping for suit and shoes.

16th june 1999

Emergency call at 4AM, uhh I hate that.
Slept the rest of the day.

When I woke up it was time to compile 2.2.10

15th june 1999

Got all the documents from the foreign office.
Now it’s Aya’s turn, and mine for insurance.

14th june 1999

Tried to get the visa application for Aya at the foreign
office,
but I missed to bring some important documents….
Sooooo, I’ll try again tomorrow maybe. Hopefully.

Developed a new feature for linux.stun.de which is a
graphical
prediction for the upcoming linux kernels.
It looks nice as an excel diagram, but now it has to be
converted
in mathematical functions used by PHP3.

Got mail from Aya. Yeah !!!!!!!!
She’s working so hard 13.6hours on one day this week……
I think most europeans would go crazy…… like me….

Finished converting the boogie biography database which is
now
exactly 300KB in size. Now the next step will be to include
all
the update from my huge eMail archive, and after the event
browser
will be a big step, supporter and contacts db will follow
later.

13th june 1999

Gone for vietnamese dinner by bike together with Tom, and
we enjoyed mixed meat/fish soup-fondue.

The last students festival day, really nice again…
I hope that Aya will join me to go there in the next year.

Downloaded GREED which makes it possible to do HTTP and FTP
batch transfers via cron. This method is much better than
getting news from various sites directly via PHP3.
Now there’s no possibility of long timeouts when some of
the server side included (remote)files are not available.

No more programming this night, soooo tired…..

12th june 1999

Did some more updates to the boogie database which is now
257KB
and including the letters H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,T,U,V,W,X and
Y.
Or to make it more simple, everything except letter S which
has
the most bio-information(too much conversion needed).

I also had to repair a part of the database after I
discovered
that the FaceMySQL-Scripts don’t care how much entries will
be
updated if you don’t select via the primary key.
(LIMIT=1 would have been enough for my needs…. ts ts ts…)

Also discovered that some players are missing, hmmm….
how could that happen ? I don’t even copy and paste
everything,
instead I write batches from the old pages.

11th june 1999

Did some conversions on the boogie database and created a new
table for credits and supporters.
Letter A,B,C,D,E,F,G and Z are finished now. Hard work….
(
The current database size is 110KB now.

After repairing some crashed servers at work, I went to the
1999
Stustaculum (Annual Students Festival) see: Program
and I met there with Thomas.

10th june 1999

Answered a lot of boogie mails…
no time for programming….

Installed SPDIF for digital audio copy from PC(MP3) to MD,
but had no time yet to test it.

From today on there’s a big student event until sunday,
try searching for StuStaCulum 99 on Excite.de to see the
program. About 50 bands playing all for free.

I’ll go there with Thomas and Gerd from tomorrow on.
I hope the wheater stays a little bit sunny these days.

9th june 1999

Had much stress at work because of a few more server crashes
and
emergency meetings.

Reyk visited me at work and presented me his new digital still
camera.
Wow, I hope that you can get a linux driver for that.
Try looking for gPhoto on the web.

After work we went together to the Shoya Sushi bar, and to
our
great surprise there was Roberto Blanco sitting back to back with
me.
it seems that he also knows the good points for having dinner.

Finally we finished the day at O’Reillys…

8th june 1999

Really good day. no further comment,
those one of you will know.

More Final Fantasy to become relaxed….

7th june 1999

Discovered that my Boogie-MySQL script is broken !!!!
AHHHHH !!!! PANIC !!!!!!!
Had no time to fix this yet.

Worked overtime, because I had to do some reboots and patches
to our biggest netware server.
I can’t believe Novell released a patch for 3.x/4.x which
exactly describes our problems, just 5 days ago, for a
product
which is almost 5 years old. Ts ts ts….

But anyway, the patch doesn’t work…. (((

6th june 1999

Played Final Fantasy VII…. bad idea….
5 hours later wrote the diary for last week,
and gone to bed.

Tried to get the G2-Player to work.
But, you can’t register without connection
to the internet VIA PROXY in my case.
But, you cannot save the configured proxy
as long as you’re not registered.

So what should I do ?

>rm /home/andy/G2-*.tgz
>df

Who needs Web videos ?
I’ve got television… ))))

5th june 1999

Some more HTML writing for Stun.de.

Joined the Union Move, Munichs own LoveParade.
Much noise, techno music is getting boring…

Had nice dinner with Tom in the Outback australian bar.
(Nice memories….)

Finished the day with an ultra strong peppermint tea
in the Marrakesh at the Kunstpark Ost.

4th june 1999

Included different News-Tickers on the Linux.Stun.de
pages to automatically generate news pages via PHP3.

Tried to set up bugzilla, but my perl modules for apache
seem to fail…. I HATE IT !
New compilation again ?
I already wrote a 3 KB script to do this for me,
because it takes too long time to do everything
by hand if there’s an error while compiling.

3rd june 1999

Wrote some cluster pages for Linux.Stun.de

Played around with on-the-fly button generation
with TTF fonts via PHP3.

More Final Fantasy VII… I wonder how this would look
like on a playstation/2. Photorealistic ?

2nd june 1999

Big problems compiling DBI, the MySQL modules and
Chart. Also GD doesn’t seem to work on GLIBC2.1
systems.

1st june 1999

Installed new RC5 clients.
Updated TWIG.

maybe. I’m just thinking if it’s not better to buy an alpha machine
for almost the
same money ? Board+533Alpha=2400.- DM 2Cel466+Board+Socket=1600.-
DM ????? Hmmm.

29th june 1999

“Expect” is still not working, out of PTY’s, I can’t believe
I compiled in 512 now in the kernel, instead of the usual
256,
and my former 64 setting. So there must be a library problem
too.
Obviously in libexpect5.28.so.

Finally I’m ill. And I feel much down….

28th june 1999

Started programming of the Kernel-Developement Graph Plotter,
and it works, except for the Gnuplot date axis.
Can someone help me with this please, the demo code from NASA
is gone, and I almost gave up hacking to format the x-axis
as a date graph. “set timefmt” and “set xdata time” doesn’t
work.

Wrote a shellscript to tail-f the actual RC5 Proxylog.
Fascinated by the ease of use I’ll complete a HTML generation
in the next days I guess.

Downloaded some new japanese songs from Riechan.
Of course using Greed and not a browser.

Rebootet my machine, and see …. no more IP delayed timing
problems. So I hope that someone keeps tracking this
behaviour
after some productiv uptime. In my case 7 days and high load
up to 3.2 and little network traffic 260kB/s was enough.

27th june 1999

Enhanced the spidercode and wrote some howtos.
Updated the Stun.de Hardware Page.

Mirrored some of the japanese cooking pages from the web.

Transferred the completed Boogie BIO’s to Boogie.Stun.de.

Copied my digital photos to Andys.Stun.de.

26th june 1999

More programming for www.stun.de. This time, did some updates
to the linux news section, with complete rewrite of the
caching
and polling code. Now it’s much more efficient, and no more
timeouts can occur. Also included the spider tracking engine,
which should end in a statistic page to count browser usage.

25th june 1999

Took a lot of pictures with the digital camera in our garden,
and discovered that transferring the pictures via the
pcmcia-adapter
of my laptop really is the final, solution.
(Accessing via drive letter, cool, and lightning fast.
No chance for USB and ASYNC.)

Did a lot of PHP3-programming for www.stun.de, (admins) see
the
last.php3 page for the code. It accepts a path value which
displays
all files in this path with the last modified date and
additionally
changing colors for updates within the last day, week or
month.
Further I included a nameserver-query page, and a manual page
viewer,
also just for admins.

24th june 1999

“It’s Backupday, my favourite day…” (Do you know
Bastard Operator from Hell?)
Again started backup on 60m tapes and it now works.

After tetsting Kernel 2.2.10 for a while, it seems that the IP
timing problem
from 2.2.2 is back. So I think we stay on 2.2.9 with the DoS
security patch
on WWW.Stun.de.

Got my Digital camera today, a Kodak DC240 and shot a lot of
pictures, but I
cannot publish them yet, first because of to less diskspace on
netsurf, and
second because of the nonworking gphoto.
By the way, serial transmission costs so much power that I want to
wait for
USB support being stable under Linux.

Finally gave up playing with the camera because the bundled video
cable is
for the DC265 and not DC240. Great !

My ISP Netsurf is again unreachable, so that’s finally why it has
become more
cheap last month.

23rd june 1999

Bought one of these always talking furbies, to got some
entertainment,
when hacking on my boogie code. Ups, he’s awake again… saying
“Huu !”
I think I’ll connect him to the computer someday and enhance
his
sensores.

Sent away the embassy-papers and package for Aya.

Found a lot of circuits on the internet for building small
toy(study)-robots.
I printed them all and will start reconstructing some of
them.

Switched two netware servers from token-ring to
fast-ethernet.

Backuped WWW.Stun.de, and encountered problems with 120m tapes. Hmm
?

Got NFS working on Zuse1 to backup from WWW.Stun.de.

“Furby is going to sleep, now…. ts ts ts, great entertainment”
))

Downloaded gphoto, and discovered that the Kodak DC240
support
is not even comitted in the CVS tree. Maybe in a few weeks…
?

22nd june 1999

Bought some of the last components for my MP3-Player.

Did some minor updates to the boogie pages on Boogie.Stun.de.

Will compile 2.2.10 for WWW.Stun.de this evening, I guess.
(I didn’t.)

21st june 1999

Ordered my digital still cam Kodak DC240. But I do hard,
waiting…..

Sound doesn’t work anymore, with 2.2.10… hmmm, looks like a
dependecy
problem. Had no time yet to track down further.

My notice is now official, and everyone knows that I quit my old
job.

The embassy papers for Aya are on their way. Hopefully.

(So I hope everyone can understand my stress in the last weeks, and
that
there are not that much boogie updates as usual in the last
time.
Sorry guys.)

Internet works this evening, and people who must know, told me that
the
german IN-XS, one of the major german internet backbones, got
smoked.
)) Wow, this is how it must be the day
after. (Just additionally
without telephone and electric power.) Hmm, not nice.

20th june 1999

Still no connection to the internet.

Uli called me and ask for Netsurf (our internet provider)
20 minutes after KAP called me and asked the same.
Maybe it would be better if I do the support for Netsurf,
by myself ??? ))))) Am I callcenter or what ?

I start to wonder why my provider decreased the monthly fee.

Reyk also called me, at night, if I can access their webpages
(online stocks) and he sounded quite nervous…. keep cool,
it seems that the whole german internet or at least some of
the
bigger providers are heavily knocked out.

Is that the punishment for not joining the internet
demonstration
day a week ago ????

Uli PPPpolled my machine and downloaded the new linux kernel
via FTP. So who needs providers, we can do it by ourselves.

Therefore nothing to do. Tried to upgrade to the new
raidtools,
but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s still invalid argument,
even when completely new created.

19th june 1999

A hard they working, almost 14 hours.
After upgrading some SCSI-drivers I experienced a BIOS
problem,
which doesn’t allow my old drivers to run on an old
hardware…
very obscure… I’ll write an explanation on monday, I think.

Bad day. My internet connection is broken….
And my RC5 is running out of keys.

18th june 1999

Today I got my MP3 hardware for constructing my own player,
but I’m missing some minor components as well as a software
to
run it from linux.

17th june 1999

Sent my notice today.

Big shopping for suit and shoes.

16th june 1999

Emergency call at 4AM, uhh I hate that.
Slept the rest of the day.

When I woke up it was time to compile 2.2.10

15th june 1999

Got all the documents from the foreign office.
Now it’s Aya’s turn, and mine for insurance.

14th june 1999

Tried to get the visa application for Aya at the foreign
office,
but I missed to bring some important documents….
Sooooo, I’ll try again tomorrow maybe. Hopefully.

Developed a new feature for linux.stun.de which is a
graphical
prediction for the upcoming linux kernels.
It looks nice as an excel diagram, but now it has to be
converted
in mathematical functions used by PHP3.

Got mail from Aya. Yeah !!!!!!!!
She’s working so hard 13.6hours on one day this week……
I think most europeans would go crazy…… like me….

Finished converting the boogie biography database which is
now
exactly 300KB in size. Now the next step will be to include
all
the update from my huge eMail archive, and after the event
browser
will be a big step, supporter and contacts db will follow
later.

13th june 1999

Gone for vietnamese dinner by bike together with Tom, and
we enjoyed mixed meat/fish soup-fondue.

The last students festival day, really nice again…
I hope that Aya will join me to go there in the next year.

Downloaded GREED which makes it possible to do HTTP and FTP
batch transfers via cron. This method is much better than
getting news from various sites directly via PHP3.
Now there’s no possibility of long timeouts when some of
the server side included (remote)files are not available.

No more programming this night, soooo tired…..

12th june 1999

Did some more updates to the boogie database which is now
257KB
and including the letters H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,T,U,V,W,X and
Y.
Or to make it more simple, everything except letter S which
has
the most bio-information(too much conversion needed).

I also had to repair a part of the database after I
discovered
that the FaceMySQL-Scripts don’t care how much entries will
be
updated if you don’t select via the primary key.
(LIMIT=1 would have been enough for my needs…. ts ts ts…)

Also discovered that some players are missing, hmmm….
how could that happen ? I don’t even copy and paste
everything,
instead I write batches from the old pages.

11th june 1999

Did some conversions on the boogie database and created a new
table for credits and supporters.
Letter A,B,C,D,E,F,G and Z are finished now. Hard work….
(
The current database size is 110KB now.

After repairing some crashed servers at work, I went to the
1999
Stustaculum (Annual Students Festival) see: Program
and I met there with Thomas.

10th june 1999

Answered a lot of boogie mails…
no time for programming….

Installed SPDIF for digital audio copy from PC(MP3) to MD,
but had no time yet to test it.

From today on there’s a big student event until sunday,
try searching for StuStaCulum 99 on Excite.de to see the
program. About 50 bands playing all for free.

I’ll go there with Thomas and Gerd from tomorrow on.
I hope the wheater stays a little bit sunny these days.

9th june 1999

Had much stress at work because of a few more server crashes
and
emergency meetings.

Reyk visited me at work and presented me his new digital still
camera.
Wow, I hope that you can get a linux driver for that.
Try looking for gPhoto on the web.

After work we went together to the Shoya Sushi bar, and to
our
great surprise there was Roberto Blanco sitting back to back with
me.
it seems that he also knows the good points for having dinner.

Finally we finished the day at O’Reillys…

8th june 1999

Really good day. no further comment,
those one of you will know.

More Final Fantasy to become relaxed….

7th june 1999

Discovered that my Boogie-MySQL script is broken !!!!
AHHHHH !!!! PANIC !!!!!!!
Had no time to fix this yet.

Worked overtime, because I had to do some reboots and patches
to our biggest netware server.
I can’t believe Novell released a patch for 3.x/4.x which
exactly describes our problems, just 5 days ago, for a
product
which is almost 5 years old. Ts ts ts….

But anyway, the patch doesn’t work…. (((

6th june 1999

Played Final Fantasy VII…. bad idea….
5 hours later wrote the diary for last week,
and gone to bed.

Tried to get the G2-Player to work.
But, you can’t register without connection
to the internet VIA PROXY in my case.
But, you cannot save the configured proxy
as long as you’re not registered.

So what should I do ?

>rm /home/andy/G2-*.tgz
>df

Who needs Web videos ?
I’ve got television… ))))

5th june 1999

Some more HTML writing for Stun.de.

Joined the Union Move, Munichs own LoveParade.
Much noise, techno music is getting boring…

Had nice dinner with Tom in the Outback australian bar.
(Nice memories….)

Finished the day with an ultra strong peppermint tea
in the Marrakesh at the Kunstpark Ost.

4th june 1999

Included different News-Tickers on the Linux.Stun.de
pages to automatically generate news pages via PHP3.

Tried to set up bugzilla, but my perl modules for apache
seem to fail…. I HATE IT !
New compilation again ?
I already wrote a 3 KB script to do this for me,
because it takes too long time to do everything
by hand if there’s an error while compiling.

3rd june 1999

Wrote some cluster pages for Linux.Stun.de

Played around with on-the-fly button generation
with TTF fonts via PHP3.

More Final Fantasy VII… I wonder how this would look
like on a playstation/2. Photorealistic ?

2nd june 1999

Big problems compiling DBI, the MySQL modules and
Chart. Also GD doesn’t seem to work on GLIBC2.1
systems.

1st june 1999

Installed new RC5 clients.
Updated TWIG.

31th may 1999

More server crashes today…
it seems that the processor itself is the problem.

Signed Aya in for the language school from november on.
I hope that she’ll decide to come…
Kiss you, darling.

30th may 1999

Compiled Apache1.3.6 again with PHP3.0.8 and IMAP+SSL-Support now
working ! YEAH !!!
Configured TWIG (a fabulous eMail-Webfrontend with almost the same
features like Outlook)
and installed everything new compiled on www.stun.de.

Facts of the day:
– SSL now works with our own certificate,
– IMAP(TWIG) works with SSL-Connections,
– more Admin Howto’s written,
– Boogie Database Code Updates (now with auto indexing + improved
database access),
– fixed some script-errors which occured since the RH6 upgrade,
(what are they doing ?)

Talked to Uli on the phone who experienced some trouble when
compiling gtk+ with gimp.

Called to Aya and she seemed to busy and tired again…. go on
work, work, work,
some people need their time to get wiser.

Making MD for Aya and CD for Tomo.

29th may 1999

Lazy day, just enjoying the BBQ in my garden.

28th may 1999

Called to school if they also have holidays. They don’t !

27th may 1999

More than good day for me.

Received Aya’s school papers, finally.
Thanks, that’s what I needed to loose my nervousity.

Invited my parents for dinner.

No programming

26th may 1999

Can’t remember, sorry.

25th may 1999

Wrote some scripts to fill the boogie database automatically.

Gave some hints to RedHat 6.0 Bugzilla, concerning RAID
problems
after upgrading.

Hotmail seems to be crashed AGAIN ??? ))) (OS-Problem ???)
Damn, I need this to stay in contact with my beauty.
(maybe yesterdays letter fault)

And I’m still waiting for Aya’s translation papers… HEY WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ???

24th may 1999

Holiday.
Aya wrote me a long letter, and I wrote a really long letter back
to her.

Tried to compile Apache again with SSL in addition, and
guess.
It failed… Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…………..
(maybe it’s just because lack of diskspace)
The 6.0 update is eating up my drives. And I install very
selective.

23th may 1999

Repaired my Raid after a failed upgrade of Redhat 5.2 to 6.0.
The new 0.90 raidtools don’t know the old raidpartitions,
and the bloody RPM deleted my old ckraid and raidrun
commands.
So it was a little bit tricky the get back my disks.
(But I’m sure that I’m not the only.)

22th may 1999

Downloaded the whole RedHat 6.0 via Rsync.
Hey I love that tool. Kill FTP.

Installed MySQL on www.stun.de.

Installed the boogie database on www.stun.de.

Wrote some new admin pages for MySQL and PHP3 on www.stun.de.

21th may 1999

Extracted all the boogie bio’s from the old HTML pages.

Compiled Apache with PHP3 and MySQL support, which now, finally
works
without errors. Transferred everything to www.stun.de.

20th may 1999

Wrote the PHP3 code for displaying the boogie woogie players
biographies
out of the MySQL database. And it works fine (after some
tuning).

19th may 1999

Upgraded the RC5-proxies to 3.06 and also some clients which now
can
switch to OGR as well.

18th may 1999

Compiled 2.2.9 kernel on zuse1 and www.stun.de

Played around with the setiathome package, but it seems they
compiled
without proxy support. Bad luck, maybe next version.

17th may 1999

Stress day. Three Server crashes within the same hour.
Discovered wrong configured encapsulations for hot standby
routing.

16th may 1999

Emergency at work, our backbones need help.

15th may 1999

Weekend Work… ((
Power shutdown at work, and Reconfiguration of a netware
server.

14th may 1999

Prepared the power shutdown for tomorrow.

13th may 1999
Had to work on this holy day, but thanks god nothing more
then a couple of server crashs and in the meantime found
some quiet minutes to study more japanese vocabulary.
Also found out how to fix my BTTV problem, which crashes
the whole machine after 10-25 minutes, and DESTROYS
my Soft-RAID !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(So all folks of you with the same problem try loading
bttv with TRITON1=1 and it should be fixed, hopefully,
because I’m 100 pc sure not to own a Triton board…)
Kernelpatch 2.2.8 arrived at home, but had no time yet to
patch and compile.

12th may 1999
Continued burning CD’s while playing the japanese version
of Bushido Blade II on my playstation. Hey I love that game,
it’s rather bloody but who cares….
Talked with Reyk on the phone and it looks like we agreed
a new date of installation for the FFM-Server, YES FFM again
!
We’re also thinking of using Soft-RAID with 9GB disks,
but I’m scared about power shortage problems.
Met with Tom and Gerd at O’Reillys Irish Pub, thought that
Reyk and Babsi would join, but they didn’t ? What’s up ?

11th may 1999
Big burning day, so many japanese CD’s )))
Blasted Muckis playstation when installing the mc, but I’m
sure
not to be responsible, because someone already tried this
before, according to the soldering points.

10th may 1999
Free day, because of my coming emergency support week.
Did big big big big big big big shopping….expensive too,
just for food.
Worked in our garden, cleaning the roof and finished the day
in chinese restaurant across the street. Yammi.

9th may 1999
Called Aya this morning 3AM my time, 10AM japan time,
but she doesn’t seem to have much time for me. ((( Heiki ?
Demonstrated MD to my parents, and totally fascinated they
want this to be their xmas present this year… hmmm… ok.
Throw away that tape stuff, throw away old records.
Time for small smart mini discs.

8th may 1999
Converted lots of CD’s and MP3 songs to MiniDisc, especially
all the Japan songs, to get karaoke feeling for my morning
shower ))
Called to Aya as every Saturday, but she said that she feels
bad and tired, and I should call her in the morning. Odaiji ni
!

7th may 1999
Made a complete backup of our MP3 server to ZIP media,
which is very hard work ! Don’t try this, it’s easier to
connect
a cd-recorder directly instead.
Burned 3 new MP3-CD’s at home, so now the FPS collection
counts 15 MP3 CD’s all together. 250 hours of music ))))

6th may 1999

Reyk is ill, and can not join the Linux show.
The Microsoft presentation of Windows 2000 was pretty
impressive, but Linux bored so much because of
incompetence sf the speaker.
I think he has never seen Linux before.
I already had my doubts when I saw Powerpoint as
the presentation software. ))

But anyway, a nice start for the day.
And also a nice present of the company, a big analog
clock, made in china, which is 5 minutes two fast
within two hours. But maybe it changes when the
batteries are going low. ))

Ate Sushi to get back that japanese feeling

5th may 1999

Some problems with our 3.11 SFT-III server at work,
I wonder how they’ll get this machine into Y2K ?

Bought a MD-recorder today. Also something that
disturbed my inner peace since Japan.
Aya tried to convince me to buy MD in Japan, and
Albert also tried, but at that time I could resist.
OK, Aya you won !!! Kiss !
Expect some MD-exchange the next weeks

Wanted to buy a dbox which makes it possible to
watch digital-TV and to see more foreign(english)
TV-stations. But it’s so expensive without signing
a contract for the additional use of PAY-TV.
So now it’s easy. KAP will give me Sat-Stuff on
Friday I guess, so that I can test a little bit.
There’s also japanese (PAYTV) on Astra I heard.
I think about it, for you Aya, if you need ?
Anyway I do….

4th may 1999

Got invitation for Linux and Microsoft trade show from Tom
at his company for 6th may.

Bought a CD-recorder today, and I’m so happy to get back
my valuable space on harddisk.

Searched for video-stores that sell or are able of ordering
japanese videos. But bad luck for today.

3rd may 1999

Wrong alarm again. My coworker still is not father yet.

2nd may 1999

Compiled Linux 2.2.7 on my system and on www.stun.de.
And hurray !!!
My CD-changer is now supported, which forced me to
reactivate the bloody IDE interfaces on board.

1st may 1999

Started the barbeque for this year in our garden.
It would have been something nice for you Aya ! ))

Had a nice cocktail party with Tom, and we cooked
together.

Called to Aya tonight, and she wants to send me her
translated documents. Sounds nice. I love you !

31th may 1999

Made a complete backup of our MP3 server to ZIP media,
which is very hard work ! Don’t try this, it’s easier to
connect
a cd-recorder directly instead.
Burned 3 new MP3-CD’s at home, so now the FPS collection
counts 15 MP3 CD’s all together. 250 hours of music ))))

6th may 1999

Reyk is ill, and can not join the Linux show.
The Microsoft presentation of Windows 2000 was pretty
impressive, but Linux bored so much because of
incompetence sf the speaker.
I think he has never seen Linux before.
I already had my doubts when I saw Powerpoint as
the presentation software. ))

But anyway, a nice start for the day.
And also a nice present of the company, a big analog
clock, made in china, which is 5 minutes two fast
within two hours. But maybe it changes when the
batteries are going low. ))

Ate Sushi to get back that japanese feeling

5th may 1999

Some problems with our 3.11 SFT-III server at work,
I wonder how they’ll get this machine into Y2K ?

Bought a MD-recorder today. Also something that
disturbed my inner peace since Japan.
Aya tried to convince me to buy MD in Japan, and
Albert also tried, but at that time I could resist.
OK, Aya you won !!! Kiss !
Expect some MD-exchange the next weeks

Wanted to buy a dbox which makes it possible to
watch digital-TV and to see more foreign(english)
TV-stations. But it’s so expensive without signing
a contract for the additional use of PAY-TV.
So now it’s easy. KAP will give me Sat-Stuff on
Friday I guess, so that I can test a little bit.
There’s also japanese (PAYTV) on Astra I heard.
I think about it, for you Aya, if you need ?
Anyway I do….

4th may 1999

Got invitation for Linux and Microsoft trade show from Tom
at his company for 6th may.

Bought a CD-recorder today, and I’m so happy to get back
my valuable space on harddisk.

Searched for video-stores that sell or are able of ordering
japanese videos. But bad luck for today.

3rd may 1999

Wrong alarm again. My coworker still is not father yet.

2nd may 1999

Compiled Linux 2.2.7 on my system and on www.stun.de.
And hurray !!!
My CD-changer is now supported, which forced me to
reactivate the bloody IDE interfaces on board.

1st may 1999

Started the barbeque for this year in our garden.
It would have been something nice for you Aya ! ))

Had a nice cocktail party with Tom, and we cooked
together.

Called to Aya tonight, and she wants to send me her
translated documents. Sounds nice. I love you !

31th may 1999

More server crashes today…
it seems that the processor itself is the problem.

Signed Aya in for the language school from november on.
I hope that she’ll decide to come…
Kiss you, darling.

30th may 1999

Compiled Apache1.3.6 again with PHP3.0.8 and IMAP+SSL-Support now
working ! YEAH !!!
Configured TWIG (a fabulous eMail-Webfrontend with almost the same
features like Outlook)
and installed everything new compiled on www.stun.de.

Facts of the day:
– SSL now works with our own certificate,
– IMAP(TWIG) works with SSL-Connections,
– more Admin Howto’s written,
– Boogie Database Code Updates (now with auto indexing + improved
database access),
– fixed some script-errors which occured since the RH6 upgrade,
(what are they doing ?)

Talked to Uli on the phone who experienced some trouble when
compiling gtk+ with gimp.

Called to Aya and she seemed to busy and tired again…. go on
work, work, work,
some people need their time to get wiser.

Making MD for Aya and CD for Tomo.

29th may 1999

Lazy day, just enjoying the BBQ in my garden.

28th may 1999

Called to school if they also have holidays. They don’t !

27th may 1999

More than good day for me.

Received Aya’s school papers, finally.
Thanks, that’s what I needed to loose my nervousity.

Invited my parents for dinner.

No programming

26th may 1999

Can’t remember, sorry.

25th may 1999

Wrote some scripts to fill the boogie database automatically.

Gave some hints to RedHat 6.0 Bugzilla, concerning RAID
problems
after upgrading.

Hotmail seems to be crashed AGAIN ??? ))) (OS-Problem ???)
Damn, I need this to stay in contact with my beauty.
(maybe yesterdays letter fault)

And I’m still waiting for Aya’s translation papers… HEY WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ???

24th may 1999

Holiday.
Aya wrote me a long letter, and I wrote a really long letter back
to her.

Tried to compile Apache again with SSL in addition, and
guess.
It failed… Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…………..
(maybe it’s just because lack of diskspace)
The 6.0 update is eating up my drives. And I install very
selective.

23th may 1999

Repaired my Raid after a failed upgrade of Redhat 5.2 to 6.0.
The new 0.90 raidtools don’t know the old raidpartitions,
and the bloody RPM deleted my old ckraid and raidrun
commands.
So it was a little bit tricky the get back my disks.
(But I’m sure that I’m not the only.)

22th may 1999

Downloaded the whole RedHat 6.0 via Rsync.
Hey I love that tool. Kill FTP.

Installed MySQL on www.stun.de.

Installed the boogie database on www.stun.de.

Wrote some new admin pages for MySQL and PHP3 on www.stun.de.

21th may 1999

Extracted all the boogie bio’s from the old HTML pages.

Compiled Apache with PHP3 and MySQL support, which now, finally
works
without errors. Transferred everything to www.stun.de.

20th may 1999

Wrote the PHP3 code for displaying the boogie woogie players
biographies
out of the MySQL database. And it works fine (after some
tuning).

19th may 1999

Upgraded the RC5-proxies to 3.06 and also some clients which now
can
switch to OGR as well.

18th may 1999

Compiled 2.2.9 kernel on zuse1 and www.stun.de

Played around with the setiathome package, but it seems they
compiled
without proxy support. Bad luck, maybe next version.

17th may 1999

Stress day. Three Server crashes within the same hour.
Discovered wrong configured encapsulations for hot standby
routing.

16th may 1999

Emergency at work, our backbones need help.

15th may 1999

Weekend Work… ((
Power shutdown at work, and Reconfiguration of a netware
server.

14th may 1999

Prepared the power shutdown for tomorrow.

13th may 1999
Had to work on this holy day, but thanks god nothing more
then a couple of server crashs and in the meantime found
some quiet minutes to study more japanese vocabulary.
Also found out how to fix my BTTV problem, which crashes
the whole machine after 10-25 minutes, and DESTROYS
my Soft-RAID !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(So all folks of you with the same problem try loading
bttv with TRITON1=1 and it should be fixed, hopefully,
because I’m 100 pc sure not to own a Triton board…)
Kernelpatch 2.2.8 arrived at home, but had no time yet to
patch and compile.

12th may 1999
Continued burning CD’s while playing the japanese version
of Bushido Blade II on my playstation. Hey I love that game,
it’s rather bloody but who cares….
Talked with Reyk on the phone and it looks like we agreed
a new date of installation for the FFM-Server, YES FFM again
!
We’re also thinking of using Soft-RAID with 9GB disks,
but I’m scared about power shortage problems.
Met with Tom and Gerd at O’Reillys Irish Pub, thought that
Reyk and Babsi would join, but they didn’t ? What’s up ?

11th may 1999
Big burning day, so many japanese CD’s )))
Blasted Muckis playstation when installing the mc, but I’m
sure
not to be responsible, because someone already tried this
before, according to the soldering points.

10th may 1999
Free day, because of my coming emergency support week.
Did big big big big big big big shopping….expensive too,
just for food.
Worked in our garden, cleaning the roof and finished the day
in chinese restaurant across the street. Yammi.

9th may 1999
Called Aya this morning 3AM my time, 10AM japan time,
but she doesn’t seem to have much time for me. ((( Heiki ?
Demonstrated MD to my parents, and totally fascinated they
want this to be their xmas present this year… hmmm… ok.
Throw away that tape stuff, throw away old records.
Time for small smart mini discs.

8th may 1999
Converted lots of CD’s and MP3 songs to MiniDisc, especially
all the Japan songs, to get karaoke feeling for my morning
shower ))
Called to Aya as every Saturday, but she said that she feels
bad and tired, and I should call her in the morning. Odaiji ni
!

Our biggest Novell server crashed today.
I never saw this: The system generated more and more
filelocks until almost every user was locked out.
Nice. (I guess this to be a feature of our increasing
number of NT machines ??? Who’ll join ?)

29th april 1999

Ordered my playstation MOD-Chip so that I can play
japanese games as well as “backups”

Met with Reyk for eating japanese noodle-soup “Ramen”
and some sushis for dessert went on to O’Reillys
Irish Pub, and we drunk a lot, after that we visited
Schuhmanns for some nice cocktails &-} Oh my head !!!

28th april 1999

Nice server crash after we tried a volume repair on
a machine that lacks memory.

27th april 1999

I thought that software piracy is finally gone with
a compact system, but NOPE !
Try searching the web for MOD-CHIPS )))))
and additional hardware is becoming more and more,
like: trainers, pads, guns, vcd-players, mega-memory
cards, …

26th april 1999

My coworker thought he would become father today,
but it was wrong alarm.

Successfully fascinated Tom of my new playstation.
But he said he doesn’t play anymore… ok I said the
same in the last three years )
No more crashed systems, no more driver problems,
no expensive hardware… cool ! That’s plug and play !
anyway he seemed to enjoy some of the games, and
especially if he got the good vibrations !

25th april 1999

Found out more about playstation.
How to repair and laser tuning… they’re all crazy !
Bought Civilization II for playstation.

Got my first pictures from Japan.
Pretty nice, especially the pictures where I can

Arrived back in Munich airport, one hour too late.
My parents picked me up, and I was so sleepy.

My phone bill balanced well, because I could
save money the last three weeks. (And I pulled
the plug out of my machine in holiday.
Just in case, you know !)

Got a letter from Naoko, thanks !
And I had to hear that she visited munich in the
begin of april… AHHHH !!!! Damn !
Sorry, it would have been so nice to meet you again.
Maybe next time ? Or in Japan, together with Aya ?

I miss Japan, and being surrounded by japanese people.
Whenever I see someone japanese I try to get closer
and listen what they say. But my japanese is anything
more than better since my visit. HELP !!!

Compiled and installed kernel 2.2.3 for WWW.Stun.de,
updated lots of RPMs and wrote some new pages for the Admins.

Again a server crash, but who cares, netware is promised
dead and it’s Bill’s turn now.

More DNS entries today, and I think their concept also
leeks. If they do round robin, they’ll get surprise…
…but let’s see if they find out themselves.

Had no contact to Aya for 42 hours, which made it a really
bad day too.

Configured Raid-5 on one single harddisk just for testing
repair capabilities.
And wonder….
RedHat starts and stops them without having configured
anything.
That’s nice guys…. how long is that code in rc.system and
K99halt now ? I’ve never seen before.

If you even can’t download the 2.2.3 version, because of
stalled
transfers, try to shoot “ping” your way free.

They’re are so BAKA sometimes at work. Told me to come to work but
also
signed me in for emergency support, which tells me that I got free
day
for today. But I even didn’t know that I’m signed in, only for next
week.
So I got two weeks in colon again.
What shells, good for money and holiday.

What should I tell you now:
Everything change a few hours later, and I had to go to work.

(I love you Aya ! Count seconds for me.)

Tidied up the cellar, so that’s enough place to put
more things in when Aya arrives.

Lazy day again, watching documentation about Australia
on TV and eating cake in bed.

Gnome 1.0 has been released, but yet no time to test it.

Big shopping day. Bought new leather jacket, from birthday
money.
And bought tons of Yakult, for my daily health ))))
(Aya, I need you !)

What a day for Microsoft ))))))))
They announced that Windows 95/98 will hang after 49.7 days uptime
!
HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Met with one of my best friends, who’s visiting his former
hometown. After working in circus, he’s now studying
informatics
and running to use Linux. (unbelievable, for a former clown)

(Sorry Erwin ! Don’t take it too serious with the “clown”.)

3rd march 1999

Have to fix that “IP frame delayed” problem on IPPP devices.
Seems to be a kernel fault.
But didn’t find “time” nor “fun” to do so.

Put it in the category “unsolved obscurities”, Scully !

2nd march 1999

Big meeting at work, because of the massive server crashes in
the
last days (and today another two.)

1st march 1999

The last 28 days until I see my love again !

At work another two server crashes. (No, I’m not repeating !)
Don’t ask me why. It’s unbelievable.
