If you use Git via SSH (or you use SSH a lot), you might find handy using ssh-agent. Unlike on the full Linux desktop, I could not find a simple way …
Creative Sound Blaster JAM is a very price-friendly Bluetooth headset for home use. I use it for occasional TV watching on PC without interfering the others, and sometimes with my cellphone (the headset has a NFC tag for quick pairing) for music listening e.g. during cooking.

For some time, I am using Wunderlist as my to-do task manager (yup, I am surfing on GTD wave now). In some aspects, it is superior to its biggest competitor, Todoist (at least it has notifications for free and cleaner design).

Before anything else, I would like to note that I do not have the recent version, but the version included in my OpenWRT installation. Exactly, it’s Dropbear v0.53.1. But most distributions do not have recent versions so I hope this will remain usefull to others.
I have a shell script which …
About a year ago I finaly purchased my first Kindle 3 Wifi (later renamed to Kindle Keyboard Wifi). In these days new VAT limit for purchases out of EU was starting to be applied. But I ordered it in time before the final price raised by 20%. UPS delivered the package from US quicker than Czech Post Office is even able to deliver letter from one part of Prague to …
PyQt is a python binding for popular Qt library (which became LGPLed for non-commercial purposes recently). If you use Qt Designer, you have to compile XML description of UI or Qt resource files to Python code to use them in your application.
In C++, you can easily use qmake tool or Automake for creating suitable Makefile.
For Python, there is no Makefile needed since Python compiles modules as they are …
