Mono

I’ve seem to have been the latest victim of this. That’s the sickness and not the software. I got the diagnosis last Friday, It’s likely that I’ll have a rough couple of months ahead of me.

Sweden

I’m back home in Sweden since a few weeks. I’ve not been able to enjoy it too much due to sickness.We will have to wait and see what the future holds for me. It’s great to see my family again, it’s been a while.

All seems so strange, like I’m gotten used to the South American way of doing things. I’m still amazed that I don’t need to lock doors when going out to the super market.

Vista

I haven’t been using windows more than a couple of minutes at a time since Win98/NT4. I bought a new laptop and it has Vista included. I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says. There are a couple of very nice features. The volume mixer “applet” works surprisingly well. The main slider widget changes the volume on all channels/tracks instead of a predefine one (such as PCM/master/mumbo-yumboJ34). Why aren’t we doing something similar in GNOME, can’t be that hard..
