Bobby

Rating: 7.5

Yesterday evening I went to the movies here in Maniago after a long time, and it was a great comeback for me. Bobby is a movie about the day of the assassination of Robert Kennedy, RFK. It gives a detailed account of what happened inside the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where Kennedy and his supporters were at first waiting for - and the celebrating - the results of the California primary election.

This short HOWTO explains how to set up the excellent Lighttpd to work with a SSL certificate released from a CA. The whole processis fairly easy, but not completely straightforward. I hope the HOWTO will become the subject of a small talk during the next San Giacomo Festival, here in Maniago. ;-)

I'm assuming the host name for which the certificate will be set up is www.domain.ext and the operating system is Gentoo Linux (the process shouldn't be too different with another OS, though). Also, in my example I'm assuming that the certificate is a GoDaddy TurboSSL Certificate.

So here's yet another success story for Catalyst: it now powers the new Manchester Evening News web site. Manchester Evening News is UK's most popular regional newspaper outside London.

Ok folks, so I managed to go to London this year as well. This time Sabrina came with me, and I even tried a different place where to sleep: the very nice Ace Hotel in West Kensington. Anyhow, I'll let the photos speak... click here!!!

Unfortunately, I'm discovering my English pronunciation is becoming worse and worse (i.e. less British and more American ;-)). I guess I need to take some lessons, but I've got to find some not-too-expensive ones... ;-)
