- FRITZ!Box 7490
- Huawei E3372 “Surfstick” knows LTE and also UMTS (and so forth (I think))
- http://www.amazon.de/Huawei-E3372-Modem-microSD-weiss/product-reviews/B00M2JO9LI – these reviewers (and also myself) confirm, that these 2 devices work together well
- I had lost that modem (together with its SIM card) a couple of months ago, but I got new ones right now, and everything is fine again
- FRITZ!Box 6842 – has a builtin LTE modem, but my experiences with it are “diverse” – with decent LTE coverage everything is fine, if the LTE coverage is in trouble, the 6842 is of now use – under the same circumstances, the 7490+E3372 combination still works fine
- I need a decent mobile Internet set-up for my “office in exile desk” situation
- to be clarified: try this LTE modem also with my Synology DiskStation – I mean the most recent slim 1-bay one – if that combination works, and the DiskStation successfully acts as a mobile wifi router, then this is my leanest set-up I can figure these days

I got my “FRITZ!Box + LTE-Modem” set-up re-established again

a Joe Jackson playlist on YouTube
- I remember a time in the 1980-s, where I needed that music played loud on my Sony “Walkman” – and that wasn’t funny – it was about life and death – and Joe Jackson’s music comforted me then
- my dear brother had introduced me to that music

how to deal with abandoned foreign wikis – export+import their relevant articles
- http://www.b.shuttle.de/hayek/mediawiki/w/index.php?title=Main_Page#foreign_wiki_articles_living_here.2C_their_local_categories
- export the wiki articles in question (together with their history) to a nice XML “tarball” (or whatever)
- import them to your own wiki
- categorise them as “imported from which website”
- for every such category create a TOC
- this is such a pleasant way of dealing with the problem

my SOHO NFS set-up

Synology DiskStations – ordinary user accounts cannot have bash as a default shell to SSH into
- http://serverfault.com/questions/458553/cant-log-in-via-ssh-to-any-accounts-set-to-use-bin-bash-as-a-default-shell
- Synology employs a customised version of ssh, having a modified C function “IsAllowShell”, only allowing /bin/sh and /bin/ash
- in order to achieve my goal, I inserted this code into my $HOME/.profile (code coped and adopted from the discussion thread quoted above):
[ -x /opt/bin/bash ] && exec /opt/bin/bash -login

Asaf Avidan on en.wikipedia.org – my recent changes
This week I added a section on his recently appeared album Gold Shadow, but I actually failed also adding a row to the solo albums table – but User:Werldwayd did so today.
When I had a few closer looks at that table, I found, that apparently album charts in Belgium are only measured as “per Flanders” and as “per Wallonia”. Well, Belgium is already a small country, so is it that important to present Belgian charts on a province level? I am familiar with the Belgian situation, so I did not need to guess long, what “Vl” and “Wa” und Belgium meant. But I thought it is more helpful to replace them with “NL” resp. “FR”, as the URL used exactly there to prove the chart figures had “nl” and “fr” in their names as well. So I changed that.
The person that created the solo albums table ages ago and started with with only Different Pulses then, actually added the references regarding the various national chart figures for Different Pulses to the column titles instead of the to resp. cells within the Different Pulses row. Moving the references was quite a delicate job, as it required some rather cautious wiki table editing. I sweated a little, trust me.
Why am I writing all this here? For these 2 brief readers??? For practising justification, why certain changes are necessary and make good sense. I also first added a section on the “talk” page associated to the page itself, in order to justify my Belgian change.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers: You, Unstuck
All of us feel trapped, stuck, or unable to move forward in life at some point. What is it that’s holding us back? According to Seth Adam Smith, it’s who, not what. Ultimately, the greatest obstacle to achieving your full potential is you.
But you are also the solution to your greatest problem.
This book combats a destructive mind-set that we all sometimes fall into: I can’t change. I am the victim of my circumstances, and I am confined by my personal limitations. This philosophy, though intangible, destroys more dreams and limits more lives than any actual, physical obstacle. To show us how to overcome this philosophy of fear, Smith draws on literature, history, and his personal experiences with chronic depression, as well as on encounters with remarkable “ordinary” people who’ve embraced a different philosophy: the belief that we possess the power to lift ourselves out of the abyss and into the light.Smith inspires us to see that no matter how dire our circumstances may be, there is always a positive step you can take, however small it might be. He doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties or offer promises of overnight success. But he does promise that if you continue to see yourself as a victim you’ll remain frozen and fearful. We may not be able to control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react.

Shlomo Sand in CounterPunch: A Fetid Wind of Racism Hovers Over Europe – Je Suis Charlie Chaplin
… at the beginning of the 21st Century, it is no longer acceptable to generate fear-mongering of a Jewish threat, but that it remains readily acceptable to sell books implying a Muslim threat. …
I continue to take as a reference point the ‘original Charlie’: the great Charlie Chaplin who never mocked the poor and the little-educated. …
