  <title>Back-to-Hack</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/razno/back-to-hack</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p><a

Gnome System Tools is a bit buggy when it comes to dial-up.  FWIW, I
hope to have that fixed before 2.10 (see <a
href="https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6140">this Ubuntu
bug</a>), since I use it.  And while I agree it would be great to have
g-s-t use pppconfig settings, it would be very hard to develop such
backend for each different distribution and system.</p>

<p>I hope to find some more time to spend on hacking and translating
these days. It was never really a problem of not having enough time,
but rather, of being quite disorganized (I got up at different times,
gone to bed at different times, just did nothing for too long, etc).</p>

<p>But, this should all change now.  I have a few things which I'll
prioritise: writing an article for <a 
href="http://fsn.org.yu">GNUzilla</a> about Python RAD development for
Gnome, completing Gnome 2.10 Serbian translations, cleaning my music
manager application for Philips HDD100, and re-doing the Prevod.org
pages.</p>

<p>In the meantime, I've switched my sister's computer to Ubuntu as
well (and it experiences the same <a href="https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5431">inotify bug</a> as mine does, when
upgraded to Hoary).  Ubuntu is now the <em>distroa franca</em> of
desktops around my house (my dad also installed it, though didn't play
too much with it).</p> 


<p>I also discovered that Epiphany was not to blame for Orkut not
working (I kept getting messages from Orkut, but whenever I tried to
visit it, it gave not only the server "no donut", but "no donut" for
me either :).  It is just about lousy programming where if you have
your Accept-Language set to "sr-CS" or "sr-YU" (Epiphany adds it by
default), Orkut borks out.  And it's been this way for several
months—I discovered only when I wanted to take a look at <a href="http://cobalt.et.tudelft.nl/~filip/files/firefox-1.0.sr-YU.langpack.xpi">Serbian
Firefox translation</a>, which adds "sr-YU" to Accept-Language field
as well.</p>

  <title>Power: where did it go?</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/razno/power-to-the-people</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We lost power.  If anyone spots it, please send it back.  We need
  it.  Desperately.  Thank you to all the honest finders.</p>

Spooky: reminding me of 1999 (except for no bombs falling)
</center>

<p>Officials claimed that we have enough "electricity supplies"
  for the winter.  Winter came very late (we had 15°C in
  mid-January!), but as soon as it dropped down to -10°C for around a
  week, power is off: this is most likely a problem with power lines
  or stations somewhere, but you still don't want that to happen at
  night with temperatures approaching -15°C, and only a minority of
  Belgrade population being connected to central heating system or gas
  network.</p> 

<p>A bit less than an hour later, the power is back.  Lets hope it
  will stay on for the rest of the year. :)</p>
