I spent (longer) weekend by biking in Šumava national park. Wheather was nice and we visit many interesting places (photos will be online later). But I will never ever make a mistake to travel on MTB with people on treking one, they are simply too fast on road (and they affraid leaving it). If you will be nearby, I can recommend you nice (and quite hard) trip starting at Zadov (where we were accomodated) to Churáňov mountain, then through Nicov to watchtower Javorník, following peak to Kašperk castle and then down Kašperské Hory city and back to Churáňov. It's only 45 km, minimal parts on the road and several nice downhills.

Also this was my first real life experience with geocaching as my friend had GPS there. We found about seven caches, several of them were multicaches where you need to visit several places to calculate final location. Nicest trip was to follow Vchynicko-tetovsky kanal, but finding some stages was quite difficult.

Anyway I'm considering buying GPS, it looks like a good toy :-).

Russell Coker, if you have enabled comments for blog, make sure that they can be used. And no, I do not think creating blog on blogger.com is appropriate way to post a comment.

Hmm all I wated to say to your spam blocking is that you can do SMTP time bayes (using spamassasin) using sa-exim, but I'm pretty sure there exist more alternatives.

Today I decided for first time to cut somebody out of my website. He tried mirror recently created phpMyAdmin wiki and was simply too much aggressive to be overlooked.

Looks like somebody got great idea to package games for DosBox :-). I haven't yet tested repository at dosboxed-games.sandbox.cz but it looks interesting so far. It reminds me good old times when I was playing Arena :-).

It looks like anybody didn't notice that it is not possible to login to bug tracker. I didn't because I use permanent login and nobody didn't tell me.

Anyway I just upgraded Mantis to 1.0.5 which fixes this issue, feel free to report bugs :-).

Today I lanched experimental period of phpMyAdmin wiki. Feel free to share your experiences with phpMyAdmin and/or contribute documentation.

I'd like to move it later to wiki.phpmyadmin.net, so don't think that this URL is permanent, but we will see later if this is possible.

Thanks John for writing DVCS comparison, it looks like document I was looking for. I'm getting more and more convinced that darcs will be the best solution for me...

I just included QA_2_9 branch in demo and snapshots, so you can use what will become 2.9.0 in few weeks.

Additionally all demos now include all themes from CVS. Some are a bit outdated, but at least you can test how do they look like.

On tuesday I realised how to become number one on mobile market. At least what marketing says is number one.

Stop random people in shopping centre and give them free precharged SIM cards. This way you will quickly have largest number of active SIM cards. No matter that those people never paid you anything, but they will be "active" for next year (or how long does card takes to expire when there is no credit). Good job T-Mobile :-).

I ran cvs update on NanoBlogger and I was suprised that it has new feature :-). So since today you can view per day archives. It doesn't make much sense for my blog, but sometimes it happens to contain more entries, like last Sunday.

No that I'd miss this feature, but I felt there is something missing when man followed structure of generated files. Thanks to developers!
