It's Good to Be a Computer Science Student...
The bad news: the hotel I'm staying in charges for internet access (boooooh!!!)
The good news: they seem to allow SSH Conenctions without agreeing to the AGBs on the start page :D They seem to filter everything else though.
I could simply SSH Tunnel everything. Should I risk it or not?

No More Catchall + bitdump.net
Just a short fyi:
- Thanks to the hosting at dreamhost I now have bitdump.net under my control.
- I decided to disable catch-all for marc-seeger.de –> emails will now only be accepted on mail@… and the usual postmaster@+webmaster@ addresses
Scanning With the Epson DX3850 on OSX
Epson, being a total douche, does not provide a scanner driver for the DX3850 for OSX.
The printer driver comes (as almos any printer driver known to man) bundeled with OSX, but for the scanner you have to rely on the TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOS X
First install libusb, then the other packages. Now you should be able to e.g. use the image capture utility to do your scans.
Works like a charm.

Updating Mephisto
Simply doing a git-pull, works like a charm.
I guess those security fixes should be pretty important…

Delete designable.nib and Gain Space From Your OSX Leopard Installation
Deleting the deprecated "designable.nib"; files from your apps should regain a bunch of space:
find /Applications/ -depth -name 'designable.nib' -exec rm '{}' \; -print
Could break everything though :) Don't say I didn't warn you.
And for people who really want an explenation and the raw numbers: click here
