However, the CWA 854 does not like encryption, and that was the problem. So now I am sending extremely sensitive information (for example about Trechinsky and van Wunderwelt) over an unencrypted connection. I have to communicate with The van Wunderwelt Committee. It’s really bad that a wireless repeater doesn’t work with encryption. Shame on you, CNet.

So, if you have been as stupid as me and bought a CWA 854 from CNet, then you can make it extend your wireless network by turning off any kind of encryption on all wireless routers and setting the CWA 854 in AP+WDS mode (Wireless>Basic Settings). Do turn on MAC filtering and hidden essid. Keep your essid absurd, like “coldironhands98cc” (find your own absurd one, do not use my example), do not use your name or street address as an essid! These precautions will keep 97 percent of all unwanted visitors away. The last three percent are impossible to keep out, anyway(s).

If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, then you’ve got to give the CWA 854 back to the shop and tell them the truth: this equipment reduces the security of any network!

The curtain, the heavy curtain,
I’ll bless you with the curtain,
I am the curtain.

Like a curtain of love
he seduces the boys
dressed in blue satin.

Let the bull surrender
in the early morning;
let the kitten sleep
in its long, wet fur.

How could the Olympic committee accept that the torch passed through occupied territory—a country in which ethnic Tibetans have been suppressed and killed? Did the committee not realise that this is a victory to the dictators of China, an acceptance of China’s ethnic cleansing of Tibet? Perhaps the committee has been convinced by Chinese propaganda claiming that Tibet has been Chinese all the time? (Which is nothing but one of several lies generated by the Chinese system.)

In fact Tibet and China have been related in history, but before the time of communism the relationship was between two free states, and it was defined by a principle of mutual respect. Nowadays, however, the Chinese authorities show no respect for historical truths and human rights. They surf on the golden waves of globalism which have made the Western world economically dependent on the vast dictator dynasty in the East (or in the middle, perhaps?)—a dictator state with intercontinental nuclear weapons and an enormous army.

There are no reasons to romantisise the old Tibetan regime, which was no democracy. The Tibetan culture was, however, far more human than present day China. The former dictator state of Iraq was nothing compared to what China has become. The main difference is that China is good with propaganda and lobbying directed towards the West. It seems that the Olympic committee has fallen for the charm of police state rhetorics.

Bernaard har på tross av sine lange antropologiske feltundersøkelser aldri fått overvære et ekte gudshopp, men han har fått det beskrevet av dervisjene. De omtaler det guddommelige hoppet med den største ærefrykt, som om det var selve skapelsen det var snakk om.

Det hender, sier dervisjene, at danseren virvler seg inn i den kosmiske malstrøm, hvor det ikke lenger finnes noe skille mellom det ene eller det andre. Og dervisjen løfter blikket mot mosaikktaket, og fylles med en endeløs hengivenhet mot den store altheten. Og han virvler fortere og fortere, og som en tiger klar til angrep, spenner han lårmusklene. Og han hopper mot evigheten, og når kroppen innhentes av tyngdekraften, fortsetter hodet sin ferd opp mot stjernene. Og dette livets tomme skall faller hodeløst i marmorgulvet.

Definitivt er den dervisjen evig salig!

By bus, of course. Und Zumelung Weldt. Never again. Endless headaches at Hotel Kaiserpfalz. The sound of the drill in the street.

That’s what happens when you want to be wild, and you take an arbitrary buss line to an arbitrary place. Nothing good has ever come from such ideas.

Never leave Cologne—that’s and order—the man said and left. No boss-man, no!

tar -zxvf en.linuxx86.tar.gz

or whatever the file is named, and enter the unpacked directory:

cd en.linuxx86

2. Run the installation script :

sudo ./setupwfc

3. Restart your Firefox browser and execute Citrix .ica files on web pages by clicking them. Then open them with the application /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.

If you right click on ica-files within Gnome you can open them with /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.

4. Now, if you would like to mount your local disk in the Citrix machine… Edit the All_regions.ini-file:

gedit ~/.ICAClient/All_Regions.ini


5. Change these lines related to disk U (for Ubuntu!) in the following way:

DrivePathU=/home/you
DriveEnabledU=true
DriveReadAccessU=true
DriveWriteAccessU=true

6. Save the file and next time you start a Citrix session your home directory (/home/you) should be visible in the “virtual” file system.

So, I installed 8.04 (”Hardy Heron”) on my HP Compaq nc6320 – after a happy time with 7.10. Everything went well, as it usually does with Ubuntu, except for the configuration of my wireless network card (the built-in Intel 3945-card). It turns out that Ubuntu no longer uses Intel’s ipw-drivers, but a new completely opensourced iwl-driver, which for some reason fails to do its job. I had to connect/disconnect to my WPA-encrypted wlan a lot of times after each boot to reach the internet. In addition to that the blue light on the wireless button did not work.

1. The solution is to change to the Wicd Network manager, which so far does its job much better than the default Network Manager. The installation of wicd is explained on the Wicd download page.

2. For the blue light on the network button to work, I found out that I had to enable Bluetooth in the BIOS. That’s a bit annoying since I don’t use it, but anyway…

Quite frankly I am a bit critical to the change from the ipw-drivers to iwl, since the ipw-drivers worked fairly well for me, and the iwl-drivers seem to be on a rather early stage of development.

Siden de som er ansvarlige for teksten på www.regjeringen.no, burde være tekstbevisste folk, antar jeg at tiden er moden for Språkrådets helhjertede omfavnelse av “m.fl.”!?

Dermed er den terrormistenkte dårligere stilt enn skapsprengeren, og vil – på grunn av påtalemyndighetens utvidede fullmakter – lettere domfelles. Og hva er konsekvensen? Problemet er at påtalemyndigheten vil forvandle skapsprengeren til terrorist. Terrormistanke kan bli en unnskyldning for en mer generell overvåkning, av nær sagt alle som mistenkes for noe som helst.

Jeg er dessverre redd for at i det lange løp, så vil justisminister Dørum best huskes for sin terrorlov. Og er ikke det litt ironisk, siden han tross alt var en av våre mer oppvakte justisministere? Han var bare tilfeldigvis på feil sted til feil tid. Enhver annen norsk justisminister ville ha gjort akkurat det samme. Man dolker ikke en gammel alliert i ryggen!
