If you want to have a single page in landscape orientation in a document using portrait orientation you can use a simple command: You have use the package

lscape

and the environment

\begin{landscape} ... \end{landscape}

- so the text inside the environment will be set in landscape orientation. LaTeX inserts a pagebreak automatically before and after the landscape-environment.

\usepackage{lscape}

...

\begin{landscape}

This text will be printed in landscape orientation.

\end{landscape}

This receipe is a spontaneous idea by Olliy due lack of breadcrumbs.

You might have read it here or here – Ubuntu's next version 5.10 "Breezy Badger" was released and it's now running on my laptop. I didn't install it on my PC, because I need one reliable machine to work on, no experiments at the moment …
The first try of downloading the new packages on release day ended in frustration because the servers where so slow or even unreachable that I gave up after some hours. Did every person on this planet try to download the badger on this single day? Well next day the spirits seemed to be with me and I downloaded all needed packages – at least almost. The system told me that it couldn't install KDE because there was a conflict between package versions. The problem was, that I had a beta version of KDE 3.5 "Kanzler" on my machine, the recent KDE version of (K)ubuntu is 3.4.3 and of course there was no easy way of installing a "lower" version on a newer release. After deinstalling every single packet, that was involved into KDE and updating the sources list, everything went fine and the badger now happily runs on my laptop.
What I really like about the release is the integration of Launchpad into the system. You can click on "Help" and then on "Translate this application" and you directly get to the appropriate launchpad page and you can start translating .. really cool! All the other new things I have to try out at first, before I can write about it .. so hang on!

After having a great afternoon spending some money at Ikea together with Olaf, André and Diana the day ended with a nice get-together at Zanni's and Anni's place with a lot of food, drinks and … erm … let's call it music. Pics from the Raclette evening can be found here.

Conclusions of the evening:
* music tastes can have a very wide range
* some people shouldn't drink sparkling wine and herbs booze at once
* never try to stand german Schlager without having drunk anythink because you are the driver
* the distance from Kiel to Reit im Winkel is 1024km
* planning silvester parties can take ages

This should have been a nice evening. And in the beginning it really was. We met at André's place in the student's accomodations, he and Christian made really delicious Fajitas, we drank some wine, watchted TV, talked – just a nice cosy evening with friends. When I wanted to go back home, I found only a front wheel instead of a complete bike. Someone must have fell in love with my bike and decided to take it with him/her. Die you f****** b*****!!!
Fortunately André lended me his old bike to get back home – and so I went without light and gear change through the foggy night. *bigsigh*
Maybe I should put a new bike on my wishlist since my birthday is coming soon

I made a nice emoticon theme for Kopete, if you like, you can download it at kde-look.org

Today I read at golem.de, that the German post finally releases its StampIt web version. StampIt is a software for electronic prepayment of letters and packages. The software itself runs only on Windows, there was no way to run it with emulators like Wine or Crossover Office on Linux. That's why I was pretty happy about that news about the web version because I thought I can finally use it with my browser – but no, when I try to login, the system tells me:

Die von Ihnen verwendete Kombination aus Browser und Betriebssystem wird von STAMPIT WEB nicht unterstützt.
Derzeit unterstützte Browser und Betriebssysteme sind:

Zur Verbesserung des Service befinden sich weitere Browser in der Implementierung.
Insbesondere Firefox, Mozilla und Netscape stehen Ihnen bald zur Verfügung.
Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter www.stampit.de

OK, they want to support Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape – eventually – but maybe the system then tells me that they support these browsers on Windows only again? I cannot believe it …
