sms2mail
is there really no easy way to get sms (read: short messages sent via gsm)
as emails? strange. - I googled in vain today but maybe someone has an idea
...
update: I know how to send an email via sms with t-mobile
but what I'm looking for is a phone provider independent solution that
allows me to collect sms as emails at the receiving end without any need for
the sender to do something else than writing a standard sms to a specified
number.

final performances
on saturday we got the ideal spot for playing: via san remo / inizio via
delle volte - a crossing of two small streets. thousands of people went by,
dozens stopped and listened, our small amps filled to place, and everybody
was happy.
we sold almost all of our CDs, and on all days together we earned 95,05 EUR.
at 22:30 a thunderstorm made us relocate under a near
arch where we played our program the last time for the other people
seeking shelter there.
at the end of the day and after some frustrations the 'finale' was
reconciling with the Ferrara
Buskers Festival 2005.

burn
tried to burn a few audio cds today. - is there really no program [1] that
allows to say "I want n copies" (where n > 1)?
and: I learned that burning audio cds in DAO mode leads to strange results
(when playing the cds in a cd player afterwards) but TAO seems to work now.
3 finished, 27 more to go.
[1] that doesn't need kde or gnome

holiday memories
just 'programmed' a new alarm time on my communicator; it suggested 6:00 -
the time to get up in corsica on the last morning. - almost three weeks ago.

oooops!
unintentionally uploaded a package to the debian server instead of our repository. but katie of
course refused the package 'cause she doesn't know my gpg key.
embarrassing ;-)

cinema again
went to the
open air
cinema for the second time this year. it was not really warm, but my
place (with a table at the side under the arcades) was fine, and the film
("maria, llena eres de gracia") was quite ok.

finally ...
... I went to the open air
cinema tonight for the first time this year. it could have been
warmer, and the movie was not the best-ever-seen ("kinsey") but
the atmosphere in the court and the whole setting was great again.

planet
I'm surprised - why is there no debian package for planet although planet debian seems to use it? - filed
an RFP.

unison
debian/unstable has a new version of unison (2.10.2). the changelog warns
that it doesn't work with the old configuration and that it's incompatible
with an older version running on the remote computer.
*grmpf*
downgraded.
update: 2.13.16-2 has entered testing, so all machines can (and do)
run the new version. good. - it's only a matter of patience :-)

bloggers are insane
at least that's what apple's tiger dictionary says: "an unhealthy interest
in computers". cf. heise newsticker
(article in german, screenshot in english).

blogging via GSM
I think I finally managed to set up nanoblogger & exim to accept new entries via SMS
(like this one!) or e-mail. - and sometimes I hate the permission &
umask stuff ...
the day after: calling the script from procmail is much easier than from the
aliases file. - thx for the idea, philipp!
the day after the day after: now the script looks nicer and the procmail
recipe is a little more intelligent, too (/dev/null if success, deliver to
$MAILDIR if error). - time for writing docs ;-)
the day after ...: created and published a small debian package.

summer?!
I'm a little annoyed. since the thunderstorm last friday (2005-07-29) summer
has vanished, and we have kind of an autumn weather now.
never been to the open air
cinema yet.
hopefully the weather will be better in ferrara.
