Back to reality

I just finished my last exam today, hooray for me, another academic year finished. Therefore I didn’t have a lot of free time to spend on this blog the last couple of weeks, pretty self explanatory I guess. That’s all going to change as of now. As always I get my better blogging ideas during my exams (I find it pretty horrible actually), this time was no different. You can expect some educative postings in the near future plus an update on a few of my older articles, as some information in it has become outdated. I’ll give you a heads up on the next article in line: Howto configure XMonad.

There’s only one other thing worth mentioning. I recently upgraded my laptop to alsa 1.0.20 and it’s a major improvevent over the previous version. The driver snd-hda-intel now provides a much better sound quality and volume can go louder (note that I make a clear distinction between sound quality and volume as the latter certainly doesn’t imply the first, uncorrelated you might say). The sound volume coming out of the laptop was pretty low in the earlier versions but it improved a lot with 1.0.20. Sound quality is of course subjective, but, I can tell you, I have a good ear for it.
