  Design of new room finally done

My room got a completely new design ...
Not only the paint on the walls, but even the ceiling, the funiture and floor !

I have 2 new closets from "Morres Meubels" in Holland, where I also bought my 2 desks. It isn't the cheapest store, but the quality is good and the design is fantastic.
The walls are painted gray with areas of red combined with red curtains. It looks modern, and that was the whole point.
The ceiling is wood and the floor Vinyl (Both white & gray combo's).

The bed and a third closet are left unchanged, but the lighting in the room has been completely modified.

It looks great !

  Mozilla Firebird to become Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firebird, the fast browser from the Mozilla foundation, changed its name once again. From Phoenix to Firebird and now to Firefox.
The name Phoenix was trademarked and the name Firebird was also used in an open-source project, the Firebird relational database.
Even Firefox, the latest name, didn't go as smooth as planned. In the UK, another company held the trademark to that name, but they got to an agreement with the Mozilla group and it seems they got a final name, at last.

  We need more RAM

The Spirit Mars rover who stopped responding on January 22nd on the surface of Mars ran out of RAM. That is what the scientists concluded.

Apparently, the machine runs on 128 RAM of which 32 MB is reserved for the onboard operating system and some scientific programs.
When it starts working, part of that memory gets filled with data and programs, and after a while, scientists are supposed to remotely remove part of the old data to free up memory. When that doesn't happen, the machine runs out of available memory and goes into diagnostics mode, which is exactly what happened with it on Mars.

Eventually, they were able to fix it and broadcast resumed ...
