debian updates Berkely DB => svn troubles...

Usually i update our linux server in periodic times. Now there was this bis security update where they also switched to Berkely DB 4.3. Subversion Users may notice that this is a little tricky, since you have to move your repository from 4.2 to 4.3.

It really can be messy, if you haven't updatet yet, look here for instructions.

Otherwise there is a good description here, how to get your old 4.2 repository to work on the new 4.3 Database when you already updated the Database.

Took me some time to backup our repository here.

clear:both margin bug?

Monday i compared a project on IE and FF 1.5 and was puzzled by a problem at FF since it worked when i programmed it. So i installed FF 1.0.7 again and "tata" everything worked as expected.

Seems like that FF 1.5 and 1.0.7 changed it s way of behaving when using on a div both: clear and minus margin.

When using minus margin and clear, FF 1.5 is ignoring the minus margin.

I created a testpage and posted it at quircksmode.

Antivirus on Windows XP 64

I posted earlier that the only free Antivirus i found was Avast, but it was working quite good.

Well on the weekend it stopped by using every ressource of my computer just after start of Windows.. i was not able to find the problem until i restarted in Safe Mode and disabled the automatic start of the Avast Services.

Now i am able to startup and even to make a manual scan, but the automatic check is not working. As soon as i start it its going mad and using everything it gets.. or so.

I posted the problem but it seems unlikely to get a solution for it, becouse they are unable to recreate the problem.

Looks to me that i finally have to drop XP64 and go back to normal XP.
