hi mates,
reading "the cathedral and the bazaar (e.s. raymond)" i come across a nice
quote of antoine de saint-exupéry which reflects the philosopy of suck less.
i want to share this with you:

That quote has been at http://quotes.cat-v.org/ for a long time (it
used to be in http://quotes.cat-v.org/programming/ but it is universal
enough that i put it with the other non-programming quotes).
This also relates to one of the most famous Strunk&White rules.

No. In theory you could script it, but it's not a problem in
practice because settings are usually stored in initialization

That's why it's marked with [OT], and that's why I moved it out of the

Hello,
I have noticed an annoying problem with the surf initdownload function.
When I click on a link to download a file, I get that kind of error:
CRITICAL **: void webkit_download_start(WebKitDownload*): assertion

And I get a 0B file in my dl directory.

It's actually a csh-ism. zsh does it, too, but I don't think
bash does. And it shouldn't work after the first &.
