Seems there's some delay when sending messages from a jabber.belnet.be JID to someone at one of the amessage-servers (or in the other direction but not in both). Very annoying. I emailed a belnet-admin, who replied with the message they know about it and are looking for a solution together with the amessage and jabber.org admins. Let's hope they fix it soon. After a previous problem with the server2server connections of amessage, there seems to be some work to do on it.

My gentoo is kind of complete now B-) Today, I connected the harddisk of my previous computer to my laptop with a IDE-to-USB2.0 connector cable I borrowed from our faculty-admin Jeroen. Very fast :-) Now I have everything to work back in full force. Maybe just some little tweaking on gnome or gentoo will be necessary. So I should search how I can make my system detect if there's a cable connected at boot time of if there's a registered WAP in the environment to connect to. This may not take a very long time, so I don't think in terms of dhcp-timeouts. If you use windows and plug out your networkcable, there pops up a message your cable is detached, all without dhcp- or ping delays. If you know a good solution, please be my guest.

My girlfriends final year thesis is finaly complete. She wrote the last things today. Tomorrow she has an appointment with her mentor for some final touches.
