Matt has a problem with his site crashing. Nik:
What kind of profiler would you use for a job like this?
New Harpsichord
The new harpsichord at school has arrived. Due to what's called a wormhole in the wood, I'm calling him (it's CLEARLY a male instrment) Grima. Weee!! He sounds great. 
Now we just have to put the old one into shape.
Summer
Nik is back in Denmark. My trip was good. The weather has been good, my book (Peter Bastian's “Inn i Musikken”) is still interesting, my <div alt=”Nomad Jukebox 3 MP3 player>Nomad
), and the correspondance with my train was just great. Straight from the plane to the train without having to hurry or wait for ages.

Gnome 2.6 on FreeBSD
If you are installing Gnome on FreeBSD right now, you should read this article. I expect it'll be outdated fairly quickly, so if you're reading this a month from now you can probably skip it
Ink-jet printing creates tubes of living tissue
Ok, this is apparently old news, but still it was new to me. newscientists.com has an article on Ink-jet printing of living. This sounds like a wonderful idea. Canon is apparently doing the same thing in Japan
atacontrol panic
I've had a panic with FreeBSD's ata-raid under -CURRENT the last few days, collected it all and wrote to Søren about it. A little while later, a patch pops in. It all works. Thanks a bunch, Søren.
Problem with photos
According to an US news site "You know the bands - their names, their music, their image - everything is licensed. And if somebody takes a photograph of the band, and that picture ends up on e-bay and somebody's paying money for it, the band's not seeing any of that revenue, then they have a problem with it," Barry Kohlus, with The Backyard, said. So let me get this right, if I take a picture of something and sell it, what's in the picture should get money for it? If I take a picture of the Eiffel tower, should I pay some Paris agency for that? If I take a picture of someone, should I pay them for it? Hmm.... I've been in the newspapers a couple of times, twice on TV and in various sites. Does that mean that all these places should pay me for the picture? Obviously, someone must have their licencing wrong.
