I haven’t posted updates for quite some time. End of September I finished my studies and started working full time at SAP in October. The new department/topic/task is very interesting and time consuming. 
Beside work there did not happen much in the last weeks.
I installed the newest Ubuntu Linux release on a notebook. It was very surprising to me, that except the internal win-modem everything worked right out of the box. Even OpenGL-accelerated desktop with AIGLX and Beryl as composite manager works without the need to fumble with any configuration files manually. Another surprise was that sane now supports Canon Lide 35/50/60 scanners, so that I can finally use my Canon Lide 35 successfully under Linux.
Furthermore I am currently upgrading my Intel Mac Mini. I already installed 2GB of RAM yesterday and will soon exchange the 1.5 Ghz Intel Core Single with a 2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo (“Merom”).
Next weekend Judith and I will fly to Stockholm to visit her Cousine Julia and her boy-friend Arndt. I am curious how the IKEA-country will look like.
