Misc.

Of Charles de gaulle

Body

After missing the Paris Helsinki flight:
"Here's your new ticket. But you will have to go out and re-check in again. I can't give you the boarding card as the other flight is using a different system." And also: "Tell them about your luggage when you check in so it will be with you on the same flight".

Of course the bags arrived next day. What do you think ? The people working in Charles de gaulle can not give up their habits of delaying your bags.

No connectivity.

Body

No connectivity since Friday evening. I took all the precautions to ensure my connection will be working in the new place but it seems I'll have to wait until Thursday.

No email or anything. Even worse, I have a FTBFS bug that needs fixing.

Why are all the hotspots I find encrypted ? ;-)

Update: mbar has a free wifi connection but they allow only http and ssh. The more I use ssh tunneling, the more I love ssh and the more I feel proud of FOSS! ;-)

Egyptian president, no donut for you.

Body

Yes, I'm not saying a thank you for anything. Not because you didn't do anything good. You did a lot of good things. One of them is showing me how much I love Egypt especially after being far away. You saved my life by me not having a country to give my life up for if I needed...

Even if you did a lot of real good things, no thank you. It's your job and no, you did not do it.
