Univerzita Karlova - Zakládací listina

Univerzita Karlova - Zakládací listina
Just foolin' around with friend's computer: installed GoggleToolbar on his IE6.x.
It has a nice feature - Browse by Name - it even has 'Blogger'-button, so you can comfortably append a site to a blog!
Maybe I should start the dusty XP-again? Just for this Google-toy? I hope they port the 'toy' to other OS' - they used to brag about their server-farm running LINUX. Mayb they could repay some brownies to the Open-OS community for free LINUX.

Cautious optimism in the Kingdom

First reports from the Kingdom suggest the people of Nepal shown more political savvy and intuition than their (justly) infamous politicians! There is a feeling of relief, and questions why this Emergency was not declared earlier.
On Tuesday evening, one week after HM King Gyanendra's speech, the land-line phones and internet were back on-line. The mobile net is still switched-off, and according to RNA, this gave the Army a "leg-up" on the maobadis. They relied on the GSM-net for a lot of tactical C3 (Comms-Command-Control), and now they are being deprived of it & rolled-up.
The CPN-M (maoists) called a general strike for 3 days last week... and everybody ignored it!!!
Our intrepid Mjr. Andrew filed a brave Losar-report from Pokhara, and basically confirms the base-line: Relief, Expectations, faith in Monarchy as the Last Standing Structure in the F-state of Nepal. (F not as 'Failed', but as 'Fucked-Up')!

Valg i Danmark - Betragtninger II.

Dansk
Så er valg-dagen imorgen! Så partileder-debatten igår på DR1, alle 10 var der...
Marianne fra Helvede slog vildt rundt omkring med sin virtuelle håndtaske så Mogens fik næseblod... Pia, med det sædvanlige forurettede mine parerte "racisme" anklager fra bossen af Minoritetsparti, en vis betong-kommunist fra Århus, Rune E., beundrer Pol Pots og Guzmán, supporter af blodige nepalesiske maoister.

Nepal still cut-off!

As of today, a week after leaving Nepal, I have not been able to call anybody in Nepal. Neither could I check my e-mail with World Link, their servers are still DOWN!
There is surprisingly little on the net about Nepal: one source is a Nepal BBS with some links, the other is soc.culture.nepal
King GyanendraHM King Gyanendra's action is according to sketchy eye-witness reports widely applauded by the people on the street, termed as "unevitable"! O3 made use of his legendary "nose" and managed to flee to his Indian paymasters' Embassy

King has had enough...

Copenhagen Airport, morning 1st.Feb. 2005.
HM King Gyanendra probably even surprised himself with the cup d'etat this morning: suspended what little of the Constitution there was, placed my favorite enemies (O3, MK Nepal ++) under house arrest, declared state-of emergency.
I aplaud it, and expected the shit to hit the fan earlier - just to get away from the absurd situation where the Maobadi are gayly killing teachers and social workers and blowing up life-line hanging bridges, while the politicos from O3 down are blaming HM for everything, even the Original Sin! The RNA is fighting with one hand tied behind its back. So, as they say in Ireland - "They hang you for stealing a lamb, so you can just as well take a sheep!" - if they blamed him for "Regression", and there was NON, then we will give you REAL REGRESSION, with house arrests, suspension of civil liberties and cutting communications with outside world!
I can't at this time get direct contact with my loved ones: I flew out of Kathmandu Airport last night at 8, and just landed. None server in Nepal replies (Mercantile, WorldLink), and the phones are "dead".
Will post later, when I get to Århus.
