18 Months of Frankfurt

It’s a sunny day (so far – there are some clouds on the horizon), I woke up really early and spent hours fiddling with stuff. All to the music of the "Power of One" soundtrack.

It just occured to me: Today marks One Year at Lufthansa. And that means 18 months of working in Frankfurt. And that means about two days ago I should’ve celebrated 18 months of Frankfurt. Amazing how time flies. And I didn’t get around to about a million things I wanted to do in these past 18 months.

At least, I finally put my 120 GB harddrive into my PC. I’ll take the opportunity to re-do my Linux system from scratch this weekend – afterall, the Installation is about three years old, and a lot of cruft has accumulated. A complete cleanup should be nice. I also indulged in a 10 GB partition for Windows, mainly because every now and then I do get the urge to play a game that simply won’t run on Linux.

Speaking of Linux, the open source operating system’s hardware compatibility has come a really long way since I first started using it.

On the exact same hardware, Windows XP keeps freezing after a few hours Linux displays no such problems.

Now if only Bioware would finally release that Neverwinter Nights Toolset on Linux..

Ah, well.

Why did I drag out NWN again? Well, as you may remember, I installed it on Linux a few days ago, and that started a lot – I started working on Enderra again, and I wanted to work again on modules.

Speaking of Enderra: Does anybody have any recommendations on Scanners for Linux? (Okay, so probably not enough people read this yet to expect any serious feedback, but hey, I tried.) I’m thinking of some Mustek scanner – there’s some models available for rather low prices but do they work under Linux?
