Today my father not only spend an afternoon with the kids (which left me with some time to spend on $other_job), he also brought me my birthday present (finally (not his fault, but a delivery problem)):
An Aiptek SlimCam 3200, which is a very small digital camera. Sweet. I can even access it under Linux (using usb-storage and mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/slimcam
(which is now in my fstab))
I'll test it tomorrow, when I go to the Saul Williams show in Krems. Yay!
