Slowly, I'm recoving from my whooping cough. On my way

home from our cabin yesterday, I started coughing once

more, and, as you might guess from this posts title,

this resulted in a broken rib. This means that I will

be slave of pharma industries for a few more weeks,

painkillers are my new friends. Bummer.

Other than that a few positive things happened. A while

ago I found a local company selling refurbished PCs. My

work machine is ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd generation from

2015) with Linux on it. I missed having a BSD available

for private projects (we use FreeBSD for almost all

servers at work, but still). So I ordered a Thinkpad

X250 last week. Got it on tuesday and installed

FreeBSD. It's been a while since I manually configured

X11. Bluetooth seems to be a no go without a dongle,

but other than that, most things work fine. Graphics,

sound, power management (though I sometimes have

problems with suspend/resume), wireless network,

backlit keyboard. Still working on guesture support for

the trackpad, webcam and the SD-reader.

I also got hold of a Palm Keyboard for my Palm III on

Ebay, but I haven't had the time to try it out yet.

So long.
