Don Giovanni and Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps in Salzburg
Posted on Tuesday, 29 July, 2008
When I read the first reviews on this year's Don Giovanni - after having been to the public final rehearsal ("Öffentliche Generalprobe") last Friday - I thought I had been to a different performance. The first review that more or less reflected my impression was the one in Die Presse.

After a long silence (don't worry, I have got plenty of half-written entries in my drafts folder and will try and catch up some time), I thought I might at least thank everybody for their Christmas wishes and wish you all a happy new year.

When I moved to my new CMS and design in autumn, I could not really figure how my old articles on music and my free-market advocacy would best fit in with the new structure. This is a pity: I noticed that a lot of visitors come here exactly for that content which is currently offline. Since this blog has not ever had any sort of real focus anyway, I now decided to rerun them here. They are all in German, but I might give my English-speaking readers a brief summary.

Back to the top of this pageDual-Booting Linux Ubuntu And Win XP On An Old Fujitsu-Siemens C Series LifeBook
Posted on Saturday, 20 January, 2007
I started the new year falling love with Ubuntu, the Linux distribution that I run on my new desktop computer. Ever since the beauty of the Ubuntu desktop unfolded in front of my eyes for the first time, I have kept enjoying this sense of control and logic that Linux brings to personal computing – so much so that I wanted to benefit from its advantages on my old Siemens LifeBook as well. I am now running Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on my desktop PC and dual-booting Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on my notebook.
Whereas on my fresh desktop PC installing Ubuntu from the live CD had been a piece of cake, on my three-and-a-half-year-old Siemens LifeBook, I initially ran into some trouble. I, therefore, thought I might share my findings here in case others are experiencing similar problems. My most important recommendation is for users of old notebooks to use text-based installation (from the alternate distribution) rather than the standard desktop Live CD.
