Casino Royal

sure, late for quoting the movie.
err, first things first.
i'm sleepless for nearly 2 weeks now, and everything that comes across my mind is this bond quote. kind of regular recurrent payments which suck my account every month. odd.

ok, will not withhold the line, so here it comes:
(bond is sitting in front of an female agent, his subsequent love, in a train)
bond:
you don't have to worry about me, you're not my type.
agent:
what, too smart?
bond:
no... you're single.

monmouth coffee

i was kindly asked for an insider tip on london "place of interest".
if the following declarations apply to your nature, you definitely have to give "monmouth" a go and neglect the opportunity:
- coffee geek
- don't feel hemmed in communication at all
- eager to get to know in interesting fellows

"Monmouth Coffee", located at 27 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9EU

quick impression:

really, really worth a visit!!

getting version information on dynamic objects (solaris)

if you want to find out the internal version of dynamic objects in solaris, such as the libc version, try this:

# pvs /usr/lib/libc.so.1 | head -5
libc.so.1;
SUNW_1.22.2;
SUNW_1.22.1;
SUNW_1.22;
SUNW_1.21.3;

recording tty sessions

i regularly use script(1) on solaris. this is really usefull to show someone else what you actually did.
but a video with timestamps would be cooler though, but eats memory and time to create.
i just saw that NetBSD's script(1) offers two nice parameters: -r and -p (record & play). while script(1) records your input, it records timestamps too, which can be played later on. solaris nor linux come up with this - bad.
here are two usefull tools for recording your tty sessions in case you want to replay them later like a video:
ttyrec
