I will post my next blog entries here and I have moved my olders blogs to that location. For me it's okay that the trust metric system of advogato is broken. However, also the RSS feed of advogato doesn't always work. Therefore I decided to move my stuff. Nevertheless, thanks to advogato for their hosting facilities. I do need, however, a little bit more stability and I do like some of the features modern blog systems offer.
Bye bye advogato

My girlfriend and I stayed at a very lovely chalet in Gérardmer. What I can tell you was that we had beautiful warm weather (around twenty degrees Celsius). Yet there was snow on the mountain for skiing. The pistes where not in a perfect condition but overall they where okay. The area wasn't very huge. Nevertheless it was big enough for a "one weekend" ski-trip. You can find a picture of my girlfriend sitting both in the snow and enjoying the sun here. And on this movie you can actually see her skiing.
For her it was the first time she went skiing. I recommend La Bresse to everybody who's going to ski for the first time. Since it's perfect for weekends. Not very expensive. And when driving from Belgium it's not even far from home.

Cool! I finally received my bounty cheque! It was for doing this bounty. Clickerdieklik for a webcam snapshot.
Yesterday I gave away the free Ubuntu cd's which I mentioned here.
I needed fifteen minutes to get rid of one box of fifty such CD's and I left the remaining 100 cd's to get picked up this Friday by a second teacher who's going to give them away to students and by colleagues who haven't got one from me personally. A few weeks ago we already distributed a box of fifty Ubuntu Warty CD's at our company. So that brings the number to 100 owners of an Ubuntu Warty CD. Thats one in seven. Sweet.
We are actually getting some questions about Ubuntu on our Linux company mailinglist. So I assume thats a sign the CD's are actually being used.

Yesterday I wrote about the multi alarm notification dialog box. Evolution hacker Dobey was a bit displeased with my userinterface.
So he proposed a new one. After some discussion on IRC and sending some userinterface-mockup screenshots in both directions to each other we found this getting more or less the way we want it. Other screenshots here and here.
This might get into Evolutions 2.3 release. It's posted to the evolution-hackers mailinglist and filed as an assigned-to-me Cosmetic bug here.
It's not a promise it will be available in that release. But chances are getting high.
