	Getting married!
	Permalink \| Comments [4] \| 2006-12-28 15:32

I'm getting married! On Sunday the 14th of January 2007 at Karlaby Kro I'm tying the knots with Paula, the love of my life!

Picture taken on the 17th of December 2005 at our engagement in Brazil

For those of you who are bummed out that you haven't been invited I've got two things to say:
a) it will be a very small wedding with just the family, and
b) there will be a big party later when our house is ready, so we can bring all of Paula's family over, and then all of you who think you should have been invited will be

We have just spent 3 days in Malmö looking for the ring and an outfit. It is not the right season to look for something nice to wear - everything is black! I guess it is the New Year celebration which imposes those rules, but we finally managed to find something suitable to wear which wasn't black.

By the way, what do you think of the resemblance to my South Park picture?

	An easier way of installing Nevada in Parallels on Mac OS X
	Permalink \| \| 2006-12-06 03:30

As you might have seen from the Installing Nevada in Parallels on Mac OS X blog entry, it required a lot of tinkering to get Nevada installed in Parallels. I've found an easier way to do it!

When you boot Parallels using your Nevada DVD image, immediately hit the "e" key when the grub menu appears, then hit "e" again to edit the boot command. Add ",atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0" to the end of the line, so it reads

kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom,atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0

Then hit return to save it and the "b" key to boot using the new option.
