… with the recent update.
I wonder how long it will take for the new features to find their way into the Google Apps version of the Contacts Manager.

a fresh openSUSE 11.3 install
My NEO‘s hard disk broke over night after running 365*24 for a couple of years (sic!!), so I got me new 3.5″ hard disks for this one and also its brother.
I started installing openSUSE 11.3 over the network yesterday. That worked pretty fine.But I got problems with X. I have no clue, where the X Windows set-up hides. Something tells me, to have a look at, which yast2-* components got activated with YaST’s package management. I think, the thing is actually called SaX. I will call SaX then instead. Didn’t find it. I am stuck. Shall I chat with Andreas Jaeger about this? Better not, he might remove me from his IM list then. I shall wait. It’s not urgent at all. I don’t really need a GUI on that machine. But then: it’s sort of my experimental box. If 11.3 works there, I will upgrade to it on the others as well. -
Plan 9 from Bell Labs (THE website)
Plan 9 from Bell Labs (the link to THE website)
The last time I gave Plan 9 a try was, when I worked with Derwent in London. That was pretty much in vain then, I just couldn’t really get it running on a PC. But nowadays they provide you with images for virtual machines. I still assume, if Plan 9 had ever gotten to enough speed, there would never have been GNU Hurd and Linux either.
This time I came across Plan 9 in the context of Google’s Go programming language, which they seem to provide for Plan 9.

my slides’ ToC had truncated section titles
I asked on the mailing list docbook-apps, what I should do, and a helpful mate suggested to make use of . That was a pretty good suggestion, I was rather thankful for it, and I did that for a couple of presentations.
Introducing is a rather tedious process though (and remember: engineers are notoriously lazy, but as engineers they are also rather ingenious by nature), as you keep trying to replace the original long title by a fancy shorter one.
Recently and just of the blue it came to my mind, that there ought to be a stylesheet parameter determining the width of the navigational ToC. Its name is toc.width, I set it to 500, and there is no more need to abbreviate section titles.
