Suppose you got an important mail, but by accident deleted the message – and to make matters worse, you also decided that emptying the mailbox was a pretty neat idea. Is then time to Panic?
Well it might, but there is a chance you might be able to undelete the message – and quite easily if [...]

Sure it doesn’t happen that often, but sometimes you might need to change the IP number of your machine running Ubuntu. Either to configure it with a static IP number on your LAN or temporarily to configure a Wifi router – the latter being my case.
The first shot at changing the ip number, was going [...]
Flight Control
Jun 18
I really like simple games, which you can play where ever you are – and which still has enough challenges to be interesting for quite a while. One of the best games I’ve played for a long time is Flight Control for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The game was developed by Firemint.
It’s a fairly simple game. [...]
I’m still enjoying the fresh new Ubunutu 9.04, and one of the nice new features is a firewall – which Canonical calls “Uncomplicated Firewall”. I’m usually not hooked on firewalls, but just for the fun of it I enabled the firewall on my laptop and it seems to work quite well. The firewall doesn’t seem [...]
Ctrix and Ubuntu 9.04
May 4
I’ve recently wiped the hard drive of my laptop and upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. The Linux desktop is a perfect place to do development and surf the net, but the corporate network is a Windows world and to access mail and other enterprise applications we use Citrix servers. Getting Citrix running on the new Ubuntu [...]
Security can be easy
Dec 4
It’s often the case that security is an inconvenience and gets in the way of usability and ease of use. There are exceptions though and for a number of weeks I’ve been playing with the Yubikey (thanks to Schack) from Yubico.
It’s a small device, which plugs into a USB port, and to the computer [...]
The iPhone (3G) was launched in Denmark today. I’m not quite sure how great a success it was, but Telia was apparently sold out here on the first day. While I probably should be urging for an iPhone, I’m not – I’d like one, but frankly I wouldn’t spend money on one currently. It’s a [...]
Modern computers contains al lot of software. A fully updated fresh windows installation contains well over 50.000 files – and before it being “usable” with the most common applications, plugins, addons and extensions for the software you use on a daily basis, you’ve probably added so much more, that you’ve completely lost count of what’s [...]
Firefox 3.0 – Get It Now!
Jun 17
Firefox 3.0 has been released – though the website hasn’t been updated at the time of writing. Get it from the FTP-servers. After a few hours of use the new firefox seems faster and much less memory-hungry. So far I haven’t seen any issues. Go Get It.
There are some fundamental differences in how Microsoft and Apple does things. If you haven’t been aware of them before switching from a Windows based computer to a Mac, you’ll probably notice some of them pretty fast.
One of the first things I discovered is that things are more “binary” in the Mac world. If you [...]
