for security reasons, I always ask my wife (while she's at work) to open pages I want to see, and then have her print them out.

I'm seeding it since that time...

but here's a direct link: http://poehey.nl/crunchbang-10-20110207-xfce-amd64.iso

it's now 01:30 here, and I've setup a cron that removes the iso at 09:00 tomorrow (can't spare that much bandwidth....)

edit: fixed link

playing around with fuelphp, which so far is *awesome*

Amalienborg Palace, Copenhagen

next one:

edit: nevermind..... It's too early for me (there were *more* pages...)

did you try using fstab?

just google/bing/jeeves/askyourmom for 'sshfs fstab'

edit: ah, didn't read the last line in your post, not sure if the fstab thing will work

I was wrong in thinking a second child would only make the household about 25 to 35% busier
Also: I was wrong thinking I could handle diaper accidents better

On a more slightly more serious note:
I was wrong
- thinking taking a job doing mostly joomla-related stuff would be boring and 'non-codey' -> The joomla-stuff is actually quite doable, and the face-palm moments are less frequent than I feared. Coding is 80% of the job, and the projects are interesting ones.
- thinking I would get the knack of debating with my wife -> women are always right. Even if they really really really aren't, they are. Once I realised that, it got easier. The problem is, realising is something completely different from accepting

French... good luck with that.
I absolutely sucked at French in school, dropped it as soon as possible. Not that I don't like the language, just sucked at it

Good time to go to lively Greece though

good luck on your test!

if I were you I would certainly use a key-based login instead of a password-based one. Key-based SSH authentication is considered more secure than password based logins, since you can disable the latter on your SSH server (and drastically reduce the consequence of any brute force attack against your server).
The added benefit is that you don't need to enter a password every time you connect to your server

edit: typo

and silly me, I forgot to add that I have passwordless access to my server (via ssh-copy-id)........

why would you set a shortcut to open a terminal and then run the script?
just set the shortcut to run the script (without terminal)

I've made a script containing something like this:

#!/bin/bash

U=pitje #username
S=192.168.x.x #remote server
D=/media/server #local path (where to mount)

if mount | grep $D ; then
        (sudo umount $D && sleep 1s) &
fi

sshfs $U@$S:/ $D && echo "mounted $S:/ on $D" || echo "could not mount $S on $D"

exit 0

works like a charm

I've seen unity in action, and I must say I'm impressed. It's just what I was looking for a few years ago. The universal top-bar, the ease of sorting your opened applications, the look, the feel, everythings nice and nifty. The only thing I don't like is the focus on mouse-use.

So it's everything I wanted a few years ago. In the mean time though, I've learned a lot about linux, other WM's and DE's and learned how to operate them. It's because of that that I've ended up with crunchbang: light and nimble and still does everything I want. I'm a big dmenu user and I've made scripts for everything I wanted 'automized'. 
I also realize that not everyone wants to learn how to use a computer (and that's a damn shame, but not something I want to talk about now), they just want to email, use facebook/twitter or browse the web. For them, the computer is a completely different thing than it is for me. And that's fine.

My dad, for example, knows how to do 5 things: 'using' word, using IE/firefox, using outlook, scanning a document, and using MSN. Anything else is voodoo to him, and he hasn't the slightest interest in learning about it. And that's fine.

One of my friends, a windows user, wanted to learn linux. Knowing how he uses a computer, I managed to talk him out of it, since while he said he wanted to learn linux, he really  doesn't. He has remembered my shiny compiz-all-the-way-setup from a year or two ago, and he just wants something shiny to show off with. He's not a technical user, he hates to have to figure things out, and he uses his computer mainly for gaming. I don't want to be the one introducing him to linux, I simple haven't the time to spare to teach him everything. So he still uses windows, and is planning to buy a macbook pro in a few months. And that's fine.

Different people have different ways of using a computer. What's a must-have feature for one person is a showstopper for someone else.
I personally think it's great what ubuntu is trying to do. I've used ubuntu when I first started with linux and loved how they took you by the hand. A few years later, I'm annoyed by that same fact, turned my back at ubuntu and am having great fun with crunchbang/debian/my own hodgepodge of scripts and helpers.

There's no one-size-fits-all in OS-land. There's just different ways of doing things. Therefore I don't believe you can say 'Why copy an awful Desktop Environment?', while you actually seem to mean 'Why copy a Desktop Environment that I don't like?'.
I personally see people using facebook and twitter, and having perfectly valid reasons for doing so. I also see people avoiding google, also for perfectly logical reasons.
I don't use facebook/twitter and think they're evil, and I do use google/gmail (while at the same knowing they're also evel. ish.).
Difference is the keyword.
