Different Fan Behaviour on ThinkPad X61 than X31
Since I got my new Lenovo ThinkPad X61, I have discovered that the CPU fan is behaving rather differently than the one I have in my IBM ThinkPad X31. That is the fan makes a lot more noise when idle on the X61.

This trick applies to laptops with Intel 915 or 945 graphics card.
A few days ago I installed Ubuntu on my work laptop, a Acer TravelMate 4230. The installation was painless, as one would expect with a Linux distribution “for human beings”. However I couldn’t seem to get the native resolution in Xorg (the graphical engine) [...]
Subversion - ‘502 Bad Gateway’ Workaround
Parts of this article has previously been posted in my old blog. It’s being reposted because of its usefulness.
A little over a year ago, I had a problem trying both copying and renaming files in Subversion, giving me the ‘502 Bad Gateway’ message. Trying to Google the problem didn’t help me much, and I don’t [...]
