I burned a DVD on my laptop, but it took ages :( The speed was between 0.5 – 1.3x; should be 8x. Arrrgh…
I was not able to enable DMA for the writer (TS-L632D). Fortunately I found a page with a solution.

It is quite clear that downloading photos from a Canon 300D digital camera is very slow. It contains a USB 1 port — new cameras have a USB 2 or Firewire port or they are connected to a WiFi card.
I tested the speed of the camera (one year ago, but maybe it will be still interesting for somebody) and I compared the results to a USB 2 Hama card reader.

I prepared a (hopefully) nice xmas present for you :) Photos from Australia.
They are from the first week there — Melbourne, The Great Ocean Road, beautiful Kangaroo Island and Grampians. Enjoy :)

I added photos from our weekend trip to UK. We spent the most of the time on the Isle of Wight. (Yes, the photos are from September. Mea culpa.) I also added some photos as my best photos.

Pridal som fotografie z nášho výletu do Anglicka. Najviac času sme strávili na Isle of Wight. (Áno, fotografie sú zo septembra. Mea culpa.) Taktiež som pridal zopár fotografií do výberu najlepších fotografií.

I am at home already two weeks, but I did not have time to add any new post here. I was really tired first week, I slept everywhere. And the last week… I tried to pick out the best photos… and preparing xmas presents, of course :)

Yeah, we are leaving in 30 minutes :) 4 weeks in Australia and one week in New Zealand. I hope I will have time to upload some photos and write a few lines about our trip.

See you soon :)

Heh, o 30 minút odchádzame :) 4 týždne v Austrálii a jeden na Novom Zélande. Dúdam, že budem mať čas dať na web zopár fotiek a napísať pár riadkov z našej cesty.

Tak čoskoro :)

A few tips how to prepare photos for a web photo album:

A few days ago, I added a new “on the top of this page” link to my best photos . I hope you will enjoy them :)

Pred pár dnami som pridal novú linku (na začiatku tejto stránky) na moje najlepšie fotografie. Dúfam, že sa vám budú páčiť :)

There can be a problem with the DRb system in Ruby on Gentoo and the IPv6 support.

If an application with DRb does not work and its error message is:

Exception `SocketError' at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:840 - getnameinfo: ai_family not supported
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:840:in `getaddrinfo': getnameinfo: ai_family not supported (SocketError)

then it is necessary to re-compile the ruby package with the ipv6 support, even you did not compile the IPv6 support into your kernel (or it is compiled as a module but it is not loaded).

I am creating a prototype of a distributed application written in Ruby. Ruby 1.8 already contains the DRb framework, as a system for a communication of different Ruby processes, and the Rinda system too, as a naming service.
