Debian

I just updated the software at http://ddportfolio.debian.net/ it contains some new links (UbuntuDiff, piuparts, patch tracker, search on the Debian website and with search.debian.org). Thanks to Paul Wise for the ideas. If you want to have ddportfolio.debian.net in your language you may send me translated versions of the translation template in the git repository.

After some stability problems and an unresolvable PCI IRQ problem with my Debian server at home (Internet gateway, mail, PostgreSQL, LDAP and NFS server and test system), I decided to get a new mainboard and wireless card last week. I did some research to get hardware that is properly supported and where I can use the rest of my current components. I had

• a AM2 socket AMD Athlon64 3500+ CPU
• 2 1GB DDR2/667 DIMMs
• a µATX chassis
• an IDE Transcend 4GB SSD for my root partition
• 2 750GB SATA hard disks (software RAID-1)
• a Intel EtherExpress 100 Server PCI adapter (that I wanted to use to separate the internal and external networks but which did not work due to the above mentioned PCI trouble)

Today is my birthday and Doro made this nice birthday cake with a fine binary display of my age for me. I also got a new big coffee cup.

Our son Raphael insisted on Smarties on daddy's birthday cake and their colors go nicely with the cake and the coffee cup.

On July 22nd my Debian account jandd has been created after 308 days in the NM process.

Thanks a lot to all who have contributed to this achievement and to who I had the privilege to work with.

I had to stay at home this week due to illness. I developed a small web application for the Debian community to fill the time with something useful besides having some time with Doro and the children.
