It’s nice to have DVD-watching times back! For more then half a year I was too lazy to repair the machine with the DVD drive. Now it’s back alive and kicking. I’ve also utilized my wireless audio/video extension to watch DVDs on the bigger TV screen in the other room. Am I not hopeless?
Category: Technology
I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.
Vim mug
From the announcement of Vim mug:
Finally you can join your favorite drink with your favorite editor: It’s the Vim mug! Besides the Vim logo there are a dozens of Vim commands explained. We tried adding all the commands, but realized it’s difficult to drink coffee from a bath tub.
Maybe I’ll even get to order it one day.
Perl Monks home node updated
Major reconstruction of my home node at Perl Monks. I’ve added links to home nodes of other monks, who have links to interesting articles. Lots of reading pending…
Hackery
There is a really excellent article linked from Slashdot – called LPD for fun and MP3 playing. Maybe I’ll even implement it one day at home.
Random bits
First of all, “Matrix Reloaded” starts today in all local cinemas. Since enjoying the movie is a more important factor then time difference between watching it and the release date, probably I am not going to watch it today. I expect all cinemas to get crowded, and that spoils it for me. But I’ll pass by just to make sure my expectations are correct.
Today I’ve had a fastest perl scripting session ever – we’ve got a new termometer for the server room with a bit of an ugly web(!) interface, which we needed to adopt to our Nagios/MRTG environment. Together with a small fix to convert F degrees to C degrees, it took me around 5 and a half minutes to script the whole thing.
Educating myself a bit on the topic of washing machines. Our old machine is almost dead – it takes roughly 50 hours to wash each load. First match was this review by some gadget freak. Then, this review by a repair man. The last for today, was this site with a long price list of different machines and other useful information.
Off for a beer with Lev, before the cinema hunt starts.
