Goodbye Ubuntu, Hello Fedora
I used Ubuntu for a couple of years, i liked the fixed Release Schedule, the new Features and the Hardware Compatibility. I think Ubuntu did a lot for bringing the Linux Desktop OS to the Mainstream Customers.
But now i switched to (back) Fedora. I always liked Fedora but for some strange Reason it never liked my Hardware. But it works very neat on my new HP Laptop .
A German in a german restaurant
My Wife and i visited Schulte & Herr today. It is a german Restaurant in Downtown Portland, ME.
It was really neat. It is funny to see other People react when they tasted food the first time, you had all your life. My Wife had Bratwurst and Sauerkraut. Born and raised in Thuringia i have to say: our Bratwurst is better but my Wife loved hers 
I had Goulash which was pretty good.
The place itself could need a little more Interior Design but I'm pretty sure that will come in the Future.
We will be back there to check out the Breakfast Menu
Steve Jobs
I have never met or even been close to Steve Jobs. He still had a huge Impact on my Life. I truly believe that this man could see the future (at least the technology future) for the next 5 years.
His Lifestory from founding Apple, getting fired, founding Next, Pixar. Coming back to Apple is inspiring and moving.
This man changed Industries, yes it is a plural. The Computer industry, Music Industry, Film Industry and Phones. All won't be the same without him.
And he made that Speech:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
(Steve Jobs)
Thank you Steve Jobs
My new Workhorse
After my Laptop got stolen i had to find a new Workhorse for every Day use. I liked my old 14 inch HP Pavilion, so why not look at the successor.
So here it is. MY new HP Pavilon dm4. It has a DVD Drive now but i'm not sure if i will ever use it .
I even started the preinstalled Windows 7 once (had to remove all the Crap Software that comes with it), just to shrink the Windows Partition to make some Space for Linux.
Right now i'm running Ubuntu 11.10 which is still just a Beta Release (and you see it on some Edges). It took a while to get all the Software i need, installed. At this occasion i stopped working with xampp and started to work with the LAMPP Stack that comes with Ubuntu.
But back to the Laptop, the Battery Life is very good for me, you can work more than half a day away from the Cord. It has all standard Ports (USB, HDMI, Cardreader). It also has a Fingerprint Reader which is a funny Gimmick but i don't think that i will use it a lot.
The Laptop has a Downside: It's case feels very good to touch but boy it loves Fingerprints . I don't really care about it but after one week this Laptop has more fingerprints than the average Crime Scene .
For me it is a very neat Laptop to work with every Day. And finally here are the Pictures:

My Blog got a new Outfit
You don't see it yet?
Then you are not using a mobile device . I just installed a Plugin called MobilePress. This Plugin detects if you visit the Website from a Mobile Device and changes the Theme automatically. Pretty Neat.
