One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

I stayed up rather long today configuring the full screen mode for the Nvidia TV-OUT and building a user friendly interface for DVD playback for Olga to use. After everything was configured I decided to test it out with a movie session.

It was not the first time that I’ve seen “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest“, but I enjoyed every bit of it anyway. This is one of the best films made ever and I am so happy now that it is in my home collection. A must have. The movie itself is somewhat different from the book, but it is an excellent watch never-the-less.

There is another DVD with all the special features, interviews, and stuff which I will watch some other time… when I am not so sleepy. :)

Trip to Lara Bay

Lara Bay

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.

GPS software for Linux

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.

Even more control over quoted text in Mutt

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.
