My holiday to Egypt

Written on September 29, 2008

Here we are again! September was a really busy month. In the first two weeks, I did earn some extra money as a shopkeeper in my parents' shop. And the next week, I went together with my girlfriend on a holiday to Egypt. I also updated my stargate section. And last but not least, it's school again!

Installing openSUSE 11.0 on a ThinkPad X31

Written on August 31, 2008

This article will explain how to install the latest openSUSE 11.0 distribution on an IBM ThinkPad X31. I bought my ThinkPad on eBay and upgraded my memory capacity from 512 MB to 1264 MB. As some of you might know, the ThinkPad X31 hasn't a CD/DVD-ROM drive, so the installation is not that straightforward. Of course you could buy an external CD/DVD-ROM drive or the X30 series docking station with some more features. But the reason I bought the X31 ThinkPad was because it's a small (12.1 inches) and lightweight (3.6 pounds) laptop. And I also didn't want to invest the money if there's another way out.

A fresh start!

As most of you know, I haven't updated this website for a very long time. When checking my previous post, you'll notice that it's written on May 30, 2007. So that's more than a year ago. As always, there are several reasons but I won't lie if I tell you that laziness is one of them.
