Hazard, Olga and I went on a trip to Lara Bay at Akamas Peninsula today. The roads are much worse this year, probably due to heavy rains we had in winter. But we didn’t have any problems, since Vladimir bought himself a second car – Daihatsu Formosa 4×4, which is just the car for trips like this.
The roads were the only item which was different from the previous year. Everything else was untouched and beautiful as it was.
I’ve made few pictures, of course, which you can enjoy here.
Pictures from Slava’s 35th birthday party are up. The party was good, but the pictures are far from anything special. :)
The album is here.
While still dreaming of a GPS device, I found a number of Linux applications that provide some navigation functionality. The best way to remember URLs is to write them down, so here they go.
TuxMobil links to all these and many other applications for mobile phones, PDAs, notebooks, and the like.
It’s good to go over a manual page for the program that you use for a long period of time. New tricks are always waiting to be learned.
Today I have found that with ‘S‘ in pager it is possible to fast forward through the quoted text directly to the reply. And with ‘T‘ in page it is possible to toggle the display of the quoted text. These are very useful when reading through a huge message with lots of quotes in it.
Although Mutt can query LDAP directories for addresses directly, sometimes connectivity to LDAP server is troublesome (firewalls, company policies, etc). One way to go around this problem would be to create Mutt addressbook regularly from the content of LDAP directory. This script does exactly this. Specify which LDAP server to query, the branch where people records are, and the filter to use. Output can be redirected to the file of your choice.
