iFolder - I just came across this. Open Source from Novell that builds functionality similar to Dropbox. Only that you operate your own server (a Linux box, ready-made packages for Open Suse). The whole thing is built with Mono, clients for Linux, Windows and Mac. I haven't tried it yet (Dropbox works too well for me to feel a great urge for changes), but I think before the next renewal with Dropbox I could take a look at it. Hosting a Suse box somewhere (or getting the server to run on Ubuntu or Debian) shouldn't be the biggest problem and I'm already hitting the limits of the 50G option from Dropbox. What I haven't found is access to older versions of files - but I haven't looked through the quite extensive manuals yet.

Innovation looks different: Rechristianization - taz.de - Jauch instead of Will? And for this crap I pay fees? Anne Will was finally someone with a profile at ARD, who could even motivate a TV muffin like me to turn on the TV.
SPD says no to CDU in NRW: The real crazies - taz.de - the political posturing and stupid remarks from politicians are really getting on my nerves. All talk, no action, none of them are interested in a real solution. And so we have to continue putting up with this unbearable Rüttgers, because the SPD and the Greens consider stupid principle games against the Left more important than replacing the Union in the state government. Sure, the Left are chaotic - the Greens were too when they started out. And? Is a Rüttgers in office any better?
