summer
it's summer. finally. it's hot &
I'm sweating but I'm not gonna complain (like most people do)
because I really like this summer after months of pre-winter,
winter, & post-winter.
the only minor annoyance is that I have to put the chocolate in the fridge because it's almost melting on my desk ;-)
update: one day later: rain is beating horizontally against the windows; hail can be seen too inbetween ... a typical summer thunderstorm.
after the thunderstorm the temperature dropped from 31°C to 20°C. hm. — 2006-07-21

use the source, luke^w/me
once in a while (i.e. twice a year) I
want to print out a mail (usually confirmations from flight tickets
or stuff like that); up to now muttprint did a great job.
not today: the result was some illegible resized-image-like sheet
of paper.
fiddling around with options, reading stuff didn't help for some time. until I detected the following line in muttprint's source code:
& no, I don't really understand it; & I think the problem was not on muttprint's end but somewhere in CUPS' depths ...

if ($Config{PRINT_COMMAND} eq "CUPS") {
it's there in muttprint --help (& in the identical
manpage) too:
CUPS support is turned on by "CUPS" (or set it to any command which containes the string "$CUPS_OPTIONS").well that's it: setting PRINT_COMMAND="CUPS" in ~/.muttprintrc does the job.
& no, I don't really understand it; & I think the problem was not on muttprint's end but somewhere in CUPS' depths ...

40 -> 32
beginning with 2006-07-01 I have
reduced my weekly working hours from 40 to 32; at my own
request.
so today was my first free friday — & I enjoyed the possibility to sleep extensively ;-)
on other news: jabref has entered the Debian archive. yeah!
update: today mailtextbody — the last pending package — has entered the Debian archive. yeah again! — 2006-07-08

sound in flash
sometimes it's really simple. — in
this case the objective was to enable sound in flash (in firefox).
the solution was:
$ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"you may also want to read /usr/share/doc/firefox/NEWS.Debian.gz and /usr/share/doc/firefox/README.Debian.
