It's XD2 time for me

Tonight, I completely reinstalled my Laptop. Debian is really cool and nice, but hey - I didn't want to miss this super-kick-ass XD2 anymore. So I backed up all my data and started installing SuSE 9. It was pretty much straightforward except that you shouldn't be too impatient when downloading over the network, ie. better do a complete installation with everything than adding all what's missing later.

So basically the installation took the whole night. I have DSL and it constantly downloading at more than 90 kB/s (so it was very close to the maximum speed), but it needs to download a lot of stuff. At about 7 am, I was finally done with it and started installing XD2. I've no idea how long it took to download it (I installed everything) since I felt asleep very soon and woke up early in the afternoon.

Now I have a really cool new SuSE 9 with XD2 on my Laptop :-)

For the rest of the evening, I have two football games (NFL, of course) on video tape which I'll watch now. After that, I think I also have a few episodes of Enterprise ....

I'll visit my parents tomorrow, so I'm taking the rest of today and tomorrow off - but I'll work from the 25th till the 30th. Normally, this is the time where you're making vacations, but most likely I'll feel very boring - there's just nothing going on on these days. Nobody's here in Trier, most pubs are closed on the 25th and there's nothing on television.
