    An elevator pitch for a new book came to me right after my SweCon kaffeeklatch:

    "In the year 2000, Earth was taken over by a consortium of Bond villains.

    "Then, in 2025, a lone mild-mannered librarian decided to take it back …"

    Think it could sell?

      Incidentally, "in 2000, Earth was taken over by a consortium of Bond villains" works PERFECTLY as an explanation for our current situation. Doesn't it?

          «Lo strano della vita è che, sebbene la natura di essa sia stata chiara a ognuno per centinaia d'anni, nessuno ne ha steso un adeguato resoconto. Mentre le strade di Londra hanno una loro carta, le nostre passioni rimangono non descritte.»
          (Virginia Woolf, La camera di Jacob)

          ricordando Manuela, morta a 42 anni nel 2018, con cui ho condiviso la passione per Virginia Woolf su Twitter per qualche anno.

          Elena, è una cosa bellissima quella che mi dici, altro che molestia! ❤️

          Chissà, magari divento ricco e potrò fare quello che chiedi senza preoccuparmi di cosa mangiare 🙂

          Dipende anche da quanto condividerete le puntate del podcast 🙂

          Incrociamo le dita!

          Do you run Bash on FreeBSD and want your cursor-prompt to always be in the top left? At the bottom of your ~/.bashrc you can add the lines

          PS0="$(tput cl)"
          PS1="$(tput ho)$PS1"

          (depending on whether your system uses termcap-vs-terminfo, those might need to be "tput clear" and "tput home" respectively)

          The $PS1 moves the cursor to the top/home position before displaying your normal/previous $PS1

          The $PS0 clears from the cursor to the end of the screen before running the command you typed.

          Is it useful? Maybe to somebody. Would it drive me bonkers? Absolutely. But did it amuse me to figure out how to do this? You bet 😆

          Ciao Mohammed, come stai? Se puoi mi racconti come sta andando?
          Se hai dolore, se hai ancora la febbre. Spero tu abbia potuto almeno dormire un po'.
          Io sono al lago (lago maggiore) e oggi qui hanno manifestato per la pace in Palestina, c'ero anch'io.
          Ti allego foto della manifestazione e foto del lago con battello.
