Fokke en Sukke
Another link for my daily portion of news, comics, et cetera: the daily Fokke en Sukke cartoon (update: from the official Fokke & Sukke Homepage).
Actually, it would be even better to add this cartoon to the other daily comic site. I’ll have to see if that can be arranged…

Scanner not working in Debian
I have a Trust Easy Connect 19200 Plus parallel port scanner, and I’ve been trying to get that to work under Linux. I found this link about the little brother of my scanner.

I had a great time, got a bit of a suntan, and I didn’t even break anything… 
Unfortunately, it’s back to work now!
