hi guys,
I completely missed the release of the 2.6.28 kernel last week because of all that Christmas bullshit out there (thank bob it’s over now).
As far as I can see, the new kernel has support for every device/chip built in the eeePc of the first generation (my model \o/). A few weeks ago I already wrote that I was very excited about this release.
I can’t wait to get home and give it a try. I’ll give you an update as soon as I installed and configured everything.

UPDATE 1:
I compiled and configured everything now to fit my needs but I still can’t get the webcam working :/. I’m still searching around and maybe I’ll find a solution later. So far wireless networking and the ethernet interface are working fine. Except the webcam, everything comes straight from the kernel. (and maybe the webcam too, I just have to figure it out somehow …)
UPDATE 2:
After so research I figured out that the uvcvideo-modules still doesn’t support the webcam of my eee 
. Well … I don’t need it anyway …
I just clicked through some of my favourite boards on the net and found 2 funny comics I want to show you.
I love coding humor 
Some more funny jokes:
Why do programmers always mix up Halloween and Christmas?
Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25.
Programming is like sex:
One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.
Saying that Java is nice because it works on every OS is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on every gender.
COBOL programmers understand why women hate periods.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in…
The day Microsoft makes something that doesn’t suck, they’ll be making vacuum-cleaners.
It’s easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code.

I’m currently thinking about writing my own blog-software. Yes, I know that there are hundreds of projects out there and some of them (like wordpress, which I currently use) are really good and have huge communities. But that’s not the point.
The reason why I’d like to do that is that wordpress is too feature-rich, too bloated for me. I don’t need 90 % of the functions it has to offer. All I want and need is a simple listing of stuff I’m currently thinking about or working at. Of course, there should be a nice interface for me to insert new articles, but I actually don’t need the ‘comment’-function. If someone wants to tell me something, he could drop me a line via e-mail too …
So, that’s why I’m thinking about creating my own blogware. It would be a nice exercise anyway. If I really complete this project I guess I’ll publish it under an open source license for anyone who wants to use or modify it for his/her needs.
