I’ve added information on running the Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner and Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer on Linux to my small Linux hardware page. If you find those small pages useful, please consider sharing pieces of your knowledge on Internet as well, it can help to many people. My Linux hardware pages are almost […]
Sony DSC-R1 full review is now available on dpreview.com too. Sony DSC-R1 seems to be a very interesting camera for an advanced amateur with limited budget. When I first read Sony DSC-R1 announcement, it was clear to me that device fixes all major imperfections I experience with my Olympus C-2100 UZ camera. Too bad I […]
Today I had to print something. My aging DeskJet refused to print it in sufficient quality again. I had to use another printer connected to a Windows machine. That meant an interesting challenge to print a Czech OpenOffice.org document on Windows. OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 PDF export produced a document with Czech characters missing. This can be […]

We can’t possibly preach on “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods” because Western society is based on that. It’s called capitalism. Mass advertising tells us we […]
So this site runs on Portable AllegroServe now. The main problem with AllegroServe was it couldn’t run CGI scripts on SBCL, but I succeeded in porting the corresponding code. It’s not ready for submitting a patch, but if you’re interested in it, tell me. I’ve chosen Portable AllegroServe because it’s highly and easily configurable and […]

It’s amazing how difficult it is to find a good web server other than Apache. I tried to find any web server which is regularly maintained, provides basic functionality (serving static pages, CGI scripts with arguments in the form of path, providing index files and virtual servers), actually works, is sufficiently documented, performs reasonable logging […]
The local entertainment industry organizations (e.g. OSA) already put quite a lot taxes on us here in Czech Republic: They charge me for hardware I use for storing my own works and for making backup copies of damaged music CDs which I’ve already paid them for. They charge me for media I use for storing […]
