This applies to all kinds of things but it brings up the question: “Who is to decide things are so wrong you should not be able to do them?”

Honestly I do not know what is a good idea or not, to force or not to force, but it sometimes indeed is rather annoying like right now when I had to compile my own version of smbmount as plaintext password authentication was disabled and not possible to enable via /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags.

Regarding the post title, “Protect me from what I want” is a great song by Placebo!

However, using the wrong tools for the job can cause major headache and reduce the productivity a lot.

Right now it feels like I am trying to fly with the help of a broken toothbrush!

One thing that has been paid far to little attention has been my inbox, to handle that better I’ve started to use sup which allows for quick searching on all my e-mail. Using that I’ve found e-mails as old as 2005 that has not yet been handled, I’m working on it now. ;)

There have however been progress on things, septic is starting to take form as a hosting platform for my projects, a new version pekwm was recently released and I am actually writing this  post here.

Will update… sometime in the future! ;)

I do not think I’ve ever danced myself that exhausted before, pure happiness! :)

Modeselektor has a new album out named “Happy Birthday” and if you haven’t heard Modeselektor before you should listen to this “Radio Mix” I found here.

Also I got to know about “Her Ethic” as they played before [:SITD:] at their concert here in Oslo last Wednesday.
