The other day, I wrote about how to print with lp/lpr in linux. I am now using CUPS, because printing with the regular lp/lpr was too slow - the printer (HP Laserjet 1200) wasn't printing all pages in a row, but it was "stuttering". Prints a page. Pause. Prints a page. Pause. And so on.
Hunz told me to use CUPS. I installed CUPS, and everything works like a charm. I can now even print two pages on one (makes sense when printing manuscripts for university, and such).
So I installed the debian packages cupsys-client, cupsys-pt, cupsys-bsd and removed lpr, adjusted some CUPS settings (print two pages on one, paper size, etc...) in the KDE Control center (if you have KDE, make sure you have kdeprint/kdelibs3-cups installed). My HP1200 is now printing at high speed again.
Why I had to do this? Well, when I arrived at my university to study theoretical computer science at 9am this morning (exam on friday, 24th), I found out my backpack doesn't contain the documents I need (anymore). I seem to have left them in the library yesterday. Everything's gone: manuscript, exercises, personal notes, and so on... I replaced the manuscripts and exercises now, but my notes are gone forever. Damn. I mean - who takes that stuff home. It ain't useful for anyone but me. Assholes!

Big pimpin' (Or My New Room part 2)
Part two of redesigning my room (Part 1)! I got me a nice IKEA furnishing item: The Vreten lamp. I am also planning on getting me the Fackla lamp, but I don't have the €s right now. Here are the pics:
The Vreten's light is creating such a nice athmosphere in here, but the pictures can't transport that unfortunately. But believe me - it rocks. And by the way, it's controlled using sonic waves - clapping my hands twice turns it on or off :)
Klick the images to enlarge. How do you like it?

I've tweaked my mail server a bit last night. Postfix is now forwarding all mails to the amavisd. Mails are then checked for viruses using a wide variety of scanners - if a virus is found, sender and receiver both get a notification and the mail is discarded. No need to have eMail virus scanned on the client side anymore (makes life easier for the people that are using my mailserver but not linux)...
SpamAssassin is still not doing what I want it to do (mark spam in the subject line and pass it on to the receiver) - I'm not even sure whether amavis is passing mail to sa yet. I'll figure out, though.
