Finally got rid of the ESA news on the front page, which haven’t gotten any update for a long time, and changed the template, so that the last 5 entries are shown and not those of the last n days. That was just looking too empty 
Now I haven’t been on my own blog for so long, that I didn’t even notice my Apache was misconfigured after updating and moving the directory… I should really invest a little bit more time into this again…
“Kero” just told me that an elf had said I should put more personal things on here… definately true. Content is missing here in any way for sure. I’m just a little busy lately with university and trying to set up a new server.
Btw… it was this elf: www.stadtelfe.com

Just a quick note, since I just got it in my mailbox: SMART-1 ion engine fired successfully 
Since I have been using pine-maildir and there was a security update for pine but not pine-maildir I am following Bug #28877, but it doesn’t really seem to interest anyone.
Then yesterday this OpenSSL Security Advisory came out and I filed #29999, which was marked a duplicate of #30001 later. I just emerged the new ebuild for 0.9.6k which is still masked but works fine.
Finally I’m follwing #29893 about a vulnerability in Apache 2.0.47 & mod_cgi. The original bug can be found here at the Apache Bug Database.
Well after posting the quote I just found asite which actually has a lecture about QED (quantum electrodynamics) held by Feynman as streaming video.
Actually there seems to be more interesting stuff on their site, The Vega Science Trust Homepage.
A short biography can be found here at the Nobel e-Museum
