I have updated the blog engine to the latest version (I am using WordPress 2.5 now).

The upgrade process is really easy by the way!

I have changed the site theme (which is by the way extremely configurable) and I am restructuring the site a bit. Please expect to find some broken link or missing image while the work is in progress.

My site was hacked by some turkish hacker squad!!!

While bringing it back I caught the opportunity to upgrade to WordPress 2.3.3.
I hope it exposes less security holes.

Please expect some malfunctions while I am checking all works as expected.

The laptop miraculously survived a motorbike incident and subsequent fall.

Some updates on the installation experience.

1. The webcam works in Ekiga even if the image quality is poor (noise and greenish colors)
2. Got suspend to work by following the suggestions contained here
3. Installed gnome-bluetooth package and made gnome-obex-server program to autostart by adding it to the session (see in the Preferences menu): this allows you to receive files from bluetooth devices (sending shoud be already working)
4. Installed bluez-gnome package containing the bluetooth-applet: this applet (and a new preference program) notifies you of bluetooth system events and deals with device pairing PIN entry.

I am making some bluetooth connection experiments. I got it to successfully connect and operate with a Nokia 6600 mobile phone (file exchange), an HP iPAQ PDA (file and single vcards exchange only no full contacts synchronization yet), a Nokia BH205 headset (audio) and a Tom Tom GPS receiver (geographical position) but this is something not for the casual user.
