I'm just catching up with the happening while being away. TikiWiki CVS is done, Trollparty mailing-list, too - now I was just shortly looking. what happened on IRC #trollparty while being away - damn, that payed off!!! :D

[12-16-05/12:21] [djamel] une phrase de bash.org pour tom ou mose :) :
[12-16-05/12:21] [djamel] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
[12-16-05/12:22] [djamel] ;p

UPDATE: That payed off twice in a certain sense - I just realized, that I should have seen that. It happened, while I was still here - dunno how I managed to miss that piece of IRC-gold! ;)

"Home is there, where I feel like it!"

I don't know, who said that first, but (s)he's right!

After having been persuaded to do it, I was at my parents place for christmas. I didn't feel really at home all the time. Well, that means, that I had some good days, but all the time this little splinter was in my brain, telling me: "You are not appreciated here as an individual!" I was very careful this time not to tell of my believes, not to tangent thematics, that might be controversial. Of course every now and then there were thematics, which could be seen from different angles. We were able to master those topics considerably. And again of course there was no movement towards the other side - this time, because it just wasn't talked about.
At first I wanted to move out again at 25.12. towards home. But my parents got me interested in the food offered at Antoniushütte, a restaurant already mentioned in germany's leading culinarists magazine "Der Feinschmecker". I'm a fan of indulgences of any flavour - be it food, wine, cigars or whatever - so I turned in after two days of thinking about it - mistake! Not that my parents would have been bad hosts or anything like that!!! (Well, one could have appreciated and honoured the - very excellent - food some more, well, fuckit, doesn't matter!). But the additional two days of stay again brought bad mood and a fight on the last day (it's always like that, if I stay for too long :( ).

Well, now I'm finally back home and it makes me happy! I know, that I won't have senseless fights here!

Yes - home is there, where you feel like it!

I realized it from the previous post - it had e.g. postfix and smtp tags in it. What will one later on search for? And wouldn't you just go classic searching for your keywords? Would tagging it smtp have been the best? Or would just mail have been even better? Folksonomy basically works, when there are lots of people using it, I try to substitute it by just wildly tagging myself. But I'm not too sure, if that will be a sustainable method. I'm already thinking of unlearning heuristics like:

• suggest tags that have been used lately
• suggest tags that are mostly used
• combination of above
• (semi)automatic renaming of tags based on clumps in the network

Especially the last one looks interesting and promising. We will need a "My FreeTags"-section in MyTiki anyways - and that need grows bigger and bigger with everyday usage.
Although I thought of some moderate rewrite of MyTiki some earlier already, I don't think, that this will be the moment for it. Perhaps even some tiki-freetags_admin.php with good perm-checking could do it... hard to say, I'd like to see it integrated in MyTiki. Well, I already figured out the admin-screen stuff, why not check out the MyTiki.. ;)

Debian starts to annoy me like anything that tries to be smarter than me. Gentoo is a nice system sayin: "I'm just a distro, I'm dumb, tell me what you want!", but Debian tries to tell me, what I should do.. pff..

Doesn't matter, Dovecot runs nicely and Postfix now also does what I want it to do. Horde IMP as the web-interface does a pretty good job, too - though I now have to say, that Tiki runs a little smoother out of the box. I wouldn't have believed that first, but it really looks like it.
