Hi, I’m Kaspar. Wurzelfoo is my personal notebook that collects snippets and thoughts around my online and real life. In the latter, I was born in the early 80’s and live in Berlin/Germany, together with my beautiful girlfriend. I’m trying to fill my fridge as a freelancing systems administrator, specialized in MacOS and *BSD systems.

I was born in the early 80’s and currently live in Berlin, together with my beautiful girlfriend.

I’m trying to earn my money as a freenancing systems administrator, mainly for MacOS systems.

Well, looks like I was right, again. The netbook forums are now blowing up with problems of 10.6.2 instant rebooting their Atom based netbooks. My sources tell me that everytime a netbook user installs 10.6.2 an Apple employee gets their wings. Just an FYI, this is OSx86 after all and none of the scenes hackers really let down on support. The latest kernel may not be “officially” supported but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a modded kernel around the corner.
In the user’s terms, it used to be that the window was the document. The two were equivalent. Now, in a trend that started with the World Wide Web and has now moved into the rest of the operating system, a window is merely a container for one or more documents. That’s a fundamental change in the user’s concept of what a window is.

One bug that annoys me since I upgraded to Snow Leopard: After waking my computer from sleep the screensaver login dialog doesn’t accept my password. At the beginning it happened just occasional but today it won’t get accepted at all. I have to use the credentials of my second admin account to log back in (which feels a little weird …).

I’m going to do a little debugging. I hope I’m getting around a clean reinstallation.

Update: It seems that the uninstallation of Crashplan (which I never used and was still installed after the upgrade to 10.6) fixed my problem. I still get the kerberos-error in my logs sometimes, but I was always able to log back in.
