Tragedy!

Darkness prevails. My shrimp is dead.

At about 20:00 Swedish time my dear shrimp passed away :-( During a purging of snails from the aquarium, the shrimp met with a sudden and violent death when a enormous humanoid foot brutally invaded its personal space.

Somehow the shrimp had managed to get out of the aquarium and, through some incredible efforts of gargantuan proportions, had crawled one meter into the living-room - where it met its unfortunate fate.

After a brief goodbye-ceremony the remainders of the dear pet was lovingly wrapped in toilet paper and respectfully flushed down the toilet.

(Som vanligt är det inte den faktiska räkan på bilden som har dött.)

Or not...

Didn't work out.

The excursion to the land of the living didn't work out. My financial funding backed out. And I'm back on the job.Now I'm forced to live vicariously through this website and by reading tech news

Palm scripts


Palm related script

I figured I'd throw in the scripts I use with my palm tungsten e. You never know when you are going to need stuff like this.

palm-mail.sh Script that I use to:
1. start fetchmail
2. start pop3d
3. establish a ppp connection to the palm.
4. let the palm download the mail.
5. then kill pop3d & pppd.

palm-ppp.sh
Basically a script I use to connect the palm to the internet through the desktop machine using ppp.

Both of these scripts are based on different things I picked up on the internet and they are not very well written - but they do the job.
