Last Thursday (7. May) I attended the A2D2 in Vienna, a conference for developers of Android.
Overall the conference was organized well and it was great fun and experience listening to the speakers. Android has some very nice features, like integrated SQLite database. Android also makes it possible to program in Java, although their bytecode is not compatible to the official Java VM, but you can use good old eclipse through plugins.

I recently had problems with printing. The printer stopped after each page for a short period and started printing the next page after a short delay. This slowed down printing a lot and was very annoying. I use Ubuntu 8.10 and Brother HL-2030.
You can use the HL-2060 printer driver, but he automatic installation choses Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hpijs. I found a description of this driver at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs, which says that it’s a HP driver.
After switching to Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250 as recommended, the printing works as expected.
This is a documented bug as well see e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/137580
Als bei meinem Versuch die IBM Recovery Suite zu installieren mein System aufeinmal nicht mehr bootete habe ich es klassisch mit fixmbr wiederhergestellt.
Leider ging dabei auch mein GRUB bootloader verloren. Es gibt aber einen einfachen und sicheren Weg das wiederherzustellen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
