Gmail backup
Got the idea to use some of my 1GB at gmail account (which I only got to check it out anyway) to store backups of my mysql-db and most of the code on this server. Now I just need a way to automate this procedure, so I can make it backup via cron. It appears that gmail is becomming very popular - not only as a mail-service - but also as a backup/blog/you_name_it host. And indeed, the 1GB storage at gmail is certainly way more attractive than the 2MB of n^Hhotmail. Now we’ll just have to see how long gmail is going to put up with this alternative use of their webmail.
In other and totally irellavant news, my birthday is slowly sneaking up so I’ve put up a little wishlist (for my family to see, which is why it’s in Danish), but of course, I wouldn’t mind being surprised by a gift from an anonymous source (as long as it’s not ticking).
In even more unrelated (unrelated to what?) news, here’s a little top 5.

WTF!!!!
Satme godt!!! Tak, anders. Tak. Nu har jeg gået og spændt i så lang tid og ventet på at den nye udgave af The LaTeX Companion skulle komme. rygtet sagde nemlig at der /snart/ ville komme en nyeadgave af den gamle bibel. et rygte der var midste 3 år gammel. jeg syntes den var lige lovlig dyr at købe og hvis der kom en nye udgave lige om lidt ville det være helt tosset. men nu er den her sørme. satme godt.

Ved ikke, om tingene passer eller det bare er nogen, der vil være imod for at være imod.
Men det er da en holdning, der er til at føle på.
Den dér Linux-distribution lyder da spændende, skriv endelig hvis den er fed.
