the World according to Monsanto
It's a documentary, it's a little bit long (about 1 hour), but it's time well spent.

See you later space cowboys
So the server that host the site will be turned off, mainly because the connection is still unstable and is stupid to keep the pc on if I can't reach it.
I will write every now and then on FB, just to keep my friends informed that I'm still alive, and I will post here a complete report (photos, comments,...) when I come back.
Spinoza: it's time you register on FB
Bye Bye

GOTCHA
Maybe I've found out why freezes every now and then: IPv6.
I've disabled this very badly implemented protocol and it seems to work. 4 days without freezes.
I'm still not sure if the problem is PC side or router side, even if I think it's the router that has some problem with the IPv6.
Anyway disabling it on the Mac is really easy (a checkbox).
On linuxon the other hand...it's a pain in the ass (HOWTO).
And it seems that disabling it will speedup internet connections.
Edit (26.02.2009): since I disabled IPv6 I've no more glitches on the connection. Yeahhhhh!!!

Asimov's Laws and soldiers
More or less at 3 o'clock in the morning I began to think about Asimov's Laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
and how they can be adapted for soldiers:
1) A soldier must obey orders given to it by his (or her) superior.
2) A soldier must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First Law.
3) A soldier may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm as long as it does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

First post of the new year.
So, first happy new year for those who follow the gregorian calendar.
For chinese people the new year will come January 26, 2009. For others...I don't know, I think wikipedia would help, but I'm too lazy to go and look.
I added a few things in the blog (mostly in the backend). The serendipity plug-in system is really cool.
Anyway I added the Pool system. If I remember I will post a new Pool with every new entry.
I tried the Lightbox script to visualize images, but it's a little too slow. I'm not sure if the bottleneck is the hardware or the connection.
In the past few days I tried (again) to setup Hari, but I still have problem to create a unionfs at boot time. Actually the unionfs works, but the pivot_root command to use the unionfs as root doesn't. I don't know why. Mah.
