Karsten on Free Software

At the post office, they handed me an amazingly small package. It was heavy, though. Small wonder, since it was filled almost solidly with plastic. There they were, the first batch of Cryptocards. Since samples of the card sheath we will put them into have also arrived, I could actually be the first one to hold the set of both in my hands – if only I had a lanyard… I’m looking forward to sending them out, even though it’s me who has to personalize them. It’s not going to be the most interesting work, putting cards into envelopes all day long. I’ll appreciate encouraging mail. 🙂

GNU/Linux GUIs usually offer the user several desktops to work on simultaneously. At first sight, this seems like a good idea: When you have finished cluttering up the first, simply switch to the next one. I whish it was that easy in my room. But then not only space multiplies. The number of distractions do the same. Wonder what they’re talking about in the chat right now. Maybe I should look up something on the internet. Oh, and this configuration detail on Desktop 4 has been getting on my nerves for weeks. This is how I spent the day. It’s a miracle that I got anything done at all. But then, cluttering four different desks is no mean feat in itself.
