Nautilus makes SSH easier!

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

The common idea about SSH as client is that it’s a very complex protocol that requires basic UNIX knowledge, you are able to only work on shell and it’s not very practical. As for copying files, you need to type the absolute path on the server in order to perform it, and you can […]

The Right of Freedom

Monday, October 30th, 2006

 

It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits:
freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either.

Mark Twain

You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night
to write.

Saul Bellow

Paradise

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

شاهدت قناة الجزيرة واكتشفت أشياء لم أكن أعلم بها من قبل عن دولة قطر
قطر بلد عربي يعيش أهله في كنف الرخاء والرغد والحرية. لا يوجد فقر أو بطالة والديموقراطية إنما هي شيء بديهي. يعم التسامح والبهجة ولا يعاني المهاجرون من التفرقة والعنصرية ويحضى جنود المارينز بالترحيب الحار … لا داعي لانتقاد دولة قطر فلا مشاكل […]

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

The dictator and murdered is now going to defend himself for the hidden gold bars in Honk Kong whose the value is estimated at around 126 million euros. The information was confirmed by The Foreign Minister Alejandro Foxley.
No wonder: Those bloodthirsty do absolutely not care about their people, torture, kill, steal and fake […]

Alma Morena — Âme Indienne

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Alma morena (Âme Indienne) se distingue aussi bien par sa musique exotique, faite avec le son de tambour, flûte et autres instruments indiens, que par ses paroles complexes et poétiques.
La chanson décrit la richesse sauvage du continent latinoaméricain, dénonce les injustices qu’avait subi le continent, rêve d’un avenir radieux, révolutionnaire, voire utopique, où les […]

Post number 500

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Nothing interesting here, except that it’s not everyday that one reaches 500 posts
Already 1 year and 1 month of blogging, never thought I would post so much, as I could never count over 200.
Just some carp, don’t stop here …

Listening to: Andrea Bocelli — Con te partirò

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Quando sono solo
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole,
Si lo so che non c’è luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole,
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso,
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada.
 
Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te,
Adesso si […]

Journaux tunisiens : On vous fait rêver !

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Pour être déconnecté de la réalité et vivre un monde de rêve où l’on se fait illusion d’être triomphant, orgueilleux et terrifiant, inutile de boire 2 bouteilles ou de fumer de l’herbe de haute qualité : achetez un journal tunisien en arabe !
Curieusement, l’information qu’ils mettent à la une n’existe nulle part dans aucun […]

Extracts from The Prince

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Actually reading: The Prince — Niccolò Machiavelli.
Some quotes I liked:

The Romans, therefore, foreseeing evils while they were yet far off, always provided against them, and never suffered them to take their course for the sake of avoiding war; since they knew that war is not so to be avoided, but is only postponed to […]

Darwin was wrong, the Church is right!

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

The Polish conservative government did not stop surprising everybody!
After the political scandal, they want to “keep Darwin’s ‘lies’ out of Polish schools“.

Poland’s deputy education minister called for the influential evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin not to be taught in the country’s schools, branding them “lies.”
“The theory of evolution is a lie, an error that […]
