Unfortunately I'm sick :( So my time is now full of lying in bed, feeling bad, drinking a LOT of hot tea and taking pills. Actualy the pills are Augmentin 1G antibiotics (more info here).

This reminds me of 100 years anniversary of the inventer of another important chemical substance:

There was another great sarcastic editorial from my favourite publicist Martin Komarek in MF Dnes. Check it out ...Paroubek, Gross, Spidla a vlkodlak.

Just went to see the progess on "GNOME 2.12 Official Release - unstable to stable" in Gentoo bugzilla ... and saw "now stable on 3 archs". At last! It took four and a half months from official release to be stable on Gentoo :( Hope more people will get involved in Gentoo's Gnome team...

Check out the movies in Projekt 100 this year. Looks good ... I already saw The Commitments (din't like it much, but as sunday afternoon programme it was alright) and THX 1138 (was good). What I'd definitely like to see is: "Bronenosec Potjomkin" (aka Kriznik Potemkin iz czech), "If..." and "La double vie de Véronique".

Any1 going with me ?

I hate sites which require free registration to access anything. Like NY Times and like last time Dell. They require to register to be able to save shopping cart. WTF! So I did it as usual I entered fake information and logged in as saw this:

Of course I'm not Emil. Who is it ? :) Always wondered why are these registrations required, when everybody do enter fictional data, or everybody doesn't ?

BTW ... BugMeNot Firefox extension to bypass all those anoying logins for your pleasure.

After a huge pain and lot of time on getting GPRS dial-up Internet connection on Mac OS X with Sony Erricsson D750i from T-Mobile, it works!!! The trick is:

1. Download SonyEricsson modem sripts from Ross Barkman's page.
2. Don't use pre-defined settings, but create your own data account for Internet access. Of course you can use a configurator from T-Mobile.
3. Use Sony Ericsson GPRS modem script with CID corresponding to newly created data accountD.
4. Put internet.t-mobile.cz instead of phone number.
5. And last but not least ... use username and password (gprs/gprs) regardless T-Mobile's instructions of authentication beeing not required.
