Not very detailed though. The south is less hilly than the north. Ok.

To remove a tag and file:
cvs tag -d “tagname” filename
cvs remove -f filename
cvs commit -m “message” filename

cvs tag -F “tagname” foldername
I started using command line cvs more frequently. These are reminders for myself. In addition to the cvs help.

I just spent over half an hour looking for the Anamed website… can’t believe I haven’t referenced it yet.
Here’s the link to the Anamed webpage. They’ve published a couple of books on the medicinal use of common tropical plants such as guava leaves, pawpaw leaves, asthma weed and anti-malaria trees.

I spent a couple of sunny, winter days in Malawi’s biggest city, visiting family and meeting friends.
I’ve started uploading some of my snapshots to Flickr. More to come as I sift thru the GBs of data.
Travel was uneventful, except for the fact that my luggage took 6 days to arrive in Blantyre. It […]

Last night was the second night that I couldn’t sleep cos of jet lag. Instead of trying to relax, I started googling for sites on combatting jet lag. One thing is sure, I’m doing it wrong. Apparently it takes one day of recovery for every timezone I crossed…
My current strategy is to go out and […]

took this photo on my way home today
I watched this movie yesterday… and it get’s the label “problem film”. It’s ok. But throughout the film I was waiting for some major action.
It’s all about unemployment, and the subsequent downsizing, and the effect it has on this Italian couple somewhere in Italia. Reflecting the stagnant economy.
As I said not bad, but I […]
Today I* was asked:
Is the blog hype over?
My answer:
Yes, the hype is over, but blogs are still around and will not disappear any time soon. In my humble opinion, blogs are becoming more and more mainstream (read “boring” for all of those geeks looking for the next big wave).
Reasons:

A small feat to celebrate in my personal blog: I jogged uphill from Riehen to St. Chrischona today at a slow and leisurely pace. The first part was tough, but about half way between Riehen and Bettingen I started to feel better. I guess the endorphin production kicked in.
Despite a setback due to flu, […]
