Migrating F-Spot to Darktable

LaMi — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:36:04 +0000

F-Spot was my favorite photo management program for the past years. In connection with GIMP as photo editor it was a good team. Again and again I came accross Windows users using Lightroom which seemed to make everything so easy. After some other photo editing session I reached the point where the limit was reached. [...]

Photo autocopy from SD card

LaMi — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:55:11 +0000

Copying photos from the SD card of my camera is a very common task. And always the same pattern. Take the card out of the camera, put it into the sd card reader, wait for the automount popup, browse to the picture directory, select all images, cut all images, browse to my photo directory, create [...]

Fixing “show desktop” shortcut (hotkey) in Ubuntu 11.10.

LaMi — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:00:59 +0000

After updating my ubuntu 10.04 installation I had to recognize that the shortcut for minimizing all windows to show the desktop has changed (It seem to be + + d after update). I don’t like that combination + d would be way better. So how to fix this? Solving this is a real quickie: Launch [...]

Ubuntu 11.10: A lot of problems …

LaMi — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 09:22:52 +0000

But it was different this time. The update went smooth, some questions about changed config files but no real problems. One positive point: [...]

Nagios is dead? No, it is not!

LaMi — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 07:00:20 +0000

There is not much progress in Nagios development - it is visible since a couple of years. This is what it looks like when one checks out the Nagios Core sources, mailing lists and so on. This could lead us to the question: Is there something happening under the surface which we don't see? Maybe one day a brand new Nagios Core 4.x is released as big bang and from one day to the other everything changes? Well, I don't think so. But why do we care about the development of the Nagios Core so much? Do we really miss important features there?
