Swobodin v Brně

NB : 0.380 dinars = 0.2834$ (US) = 0.2358€, selon Yahoo!

Now, everything goes fine, exactly as I expected!
I found a host + domain name, that a friend sold me for almost nothing (I won’t tell you about the price), compared to the thousands of features I got!
Next step will be an image gallery; I won’t import a ready strycture, I think I will […]

Una canción que me facina mucho es “Sólo le pido a Dios”, rock argentino, cantada por León Gieco; ¡”Sólo le pido a Dios” es un verdadero símbolo de la Paz!
“Esta canción fue escrita rogando por la PAZ, cuando se iba a declarar la guerra entre Chile y Argentina en 1978, y ambos países eran […]

I watched the animation movie Antz and the main thing I can say is that “that movie is not for children!!!“, since it’s about politics, machiavellism, philosophy and word games; no wonder, the one who gives his voice to the hero Z is Woody Allen!
I liked the movie, where Z, a simple ant worker […]

I made some quick and dirty hacks on WordPress that are useful for me:

Fixed keyword meta-tag adding categories as keywords; no need to make a file, just added to header.php the following lines:
<?php $numcats = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->categories”); ?>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”<?php for ($i=1; $i< =$numcats;$i++) {print get_the_category_by_ID($i).’,';}?>Swobodin,blog” />
Added a plug-in that inserts images […]

When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.
By Albert Einstein as quoted by Steve Mirsky Scientific American (September 2002). Vol. 287, Iss. 3; pg. 102.

 
En fouillant mes archives, j’ai trouvé un article paru dans L’Express du 27 mai 1999, écrit par Fernando Arrabal, écrivain et cinéaste franco-espagnol, et j’ai bien appréicé son interprétation de l’Histoire, qui, selon lui a été influencée par … une partie d’échecs !
Arrabal se déclare un anti-communiste farouche, et les circonstances lui avaient donné […]

The best Firefox extension I have ever downloaded is the HTML Validator, based on Tidy, the extension puts an icon at the foot of the browser, checking for each page whether it is or not a valid HTML or XHML.

If the icon is green (first picture), no validation error, thus the page is […]

A friend of mine, Hussemus (Homo codigus C plus plus) asked me how to integrate gcc into Vim to compile and run applications, like in Borland’s C++.
I made a search at Vim Website (search query: gcc) and found this interesting tip. You have to add these lines in your ~/.vimrc file:
map <F5> :call CompileRunGcc()<CR>
map […]

 Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet) has to interview David Gale (Kevin Spacey) 3 days before his execution; David Gale is accused of rape and murder of Constance Harraway, both are professors and advocates for the abolishment of capital punishment.
It’s said that Alan Parker’s movies are among the best; I have already seen Pink Floyd’s Wall, […]

I’m finding out about Festival, a text-to-speech system.
The purpose is simple, you type a text in English (it can speak Spanish too, I still haven’t tried it) , the program reads the text either in American or British English and it’s possible to export the output to any format; for example:
text2wave asciifile.txt | […]

 I’m actually using Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 aka Deer Park; too much faster than the stable version, but, as Beta, I experienced too many crashes and could not upgrade a huge number of extensions.
Hatem has suggested a little hack to “cheat” and manually upgrade the extensions using winrar; for UNIX users, if you want […]

Here’s a little script to download all Linux Gazette issues since 1995:
url=”http://linuxgazette.net/ftpfiles/”
for i in $(seq 10 99)
do wget -c lg-issue${url}${i}.tar.gz;done
for i in $(seq 100 118)
do wget -c lg-${url}${i}.tar.gz; done
wget -c lg-issue01to08.tar.gz lg-issue09.tar.gz
unset url

Becareful: you must execute the script in an empty directory (too many archives) and expect a 94 MB of size!

 I do consider the Insider as one of the greatest artworks, where Russel Crowe (Dr. Wigand) meets Al Pacino (Lowell Bergman).
The best Al Pacino’s movies are, in my mind, those in which he is not calm, he expresses rage, swears and shouts.
Regarding the movie, it’s an excellent example of how can the truth be […]
