When I rebooted a xen guest I had no network anymore
this was strange, all the other guests had no problem with networking

After checking some commands I saw that the bridge has a weard problem(lenny/xen/bridge)

It looks like the bridge has lost some counters

Farmville is idd very popular, even my wife and parents are playing it, (I don't have time for this)

They are lucky that open-source exists coz there aren't so many tools to manage this scale of grow

If you see that after 4day's of the launch there ware more then 1.000.000 players ...
and after 60 day's 10.000.000

that is a fast grow
Thanx to luke there exists puppet

I visited FOSDEM this weekend.  It was very interesting.

Had a nice chat with the MariaDB people and off course Zarafa.  The talks where nice, though the one on Ubuntu and Debian was a bit controversial.

Next up is storage expo :-)

After the deredactie.be overflow there is also the "verkeerscentrum"(trafficcenter)

It seems that snow has a great snowball effect here :)

btw, I also failed to get to my customer today
After 1:15u I was 5km away from home (and still 20km to get to the customer)

have a nice day

I've been messing with finding a decent desktop backup application this weekend to run on all the family laptops. I thought backintime would do the trick, but it turned out not to work over sshfs (due to the lack of hardlink support) and doing backups to the same disk that holds the data seems like a bad idea to me.

So, today I found an article on deja-dup in my RSS feed, installed it and it's wonderful. It has a built in scheduler and supports all filesystems that gvfs does, but adds nice things like encryption for your backups and it integrates very well with Nautilus.

I can just select a file or folder and revert it to the state of any of the listed backups, which is exactly the functionality I've been looking for.

Just a shame that I didn't find it in the first hours of looking... but I am happy now :-)
