                <description>&lt;p&gt;Dr. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stallman.org/&quot;&gt;Richard Stallman&lt;/a&gt;,
founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fsf.org/&quot;&gt;Free Software Foundation&lt;/a&gt;,
is giving &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/&quot;&gt;a
talk in Oslo March 1st 2013 17:00 to 19:00&lt;/a&gt;.  The event is public
and organised by &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG)&lt;/a&gt;
(where I am the chair of the board) and
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprog.no/&quot;&gt;The Norwegian Open Source Competence
Center&lt;/a&gt;.  The title of the talk is «The Free Software Movement and
GNU», with this description:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users&#39; freedom to
cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
developed the GNU operating system, typically used together with the
kernel Linux, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The meeting is open for everyone.  Due to space limitations, the
doors opens for NUUG members at 16:15, and everyone else at 16:45.  I
am really curious how many will show up.  See
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/&quot;&gt;the event
page&lt;/a&gt; for the location details.&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Skolelinux_intervju__Helge_Tore_H_yland.html</link>        
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Skolelinux_intervju__Helge_Tore_H_yland.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Etter en lang pause og travle uker har jeg endelig klart å få
samlet et nytt intervju med en av folkene i
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-miljøet.
Denne gang er det Helge Tore Høyland, en mangeårig bidragsyter på
epostlistene og ellers i prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eg er IT-konsulent/teknikker hjå eit firma i Steinkjer med navn
&lt;a href=&quot;http://unoit.no/&quot;&gt;Uno IT&lt;/a&gt;.  Uno IT er eit lite firma som
drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma
Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me 2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn
er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og
server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye
maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit
vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux
har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bjorkly.no/&quot;&gt;Bjørkly skule&lt;/a&gt;, ein privat
grunnskule i Namsos-området.  I dag har skulen 65 elever, 15 lærere, 1
hovedserver og ca 60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt.  Eg har bygd og
driftet systemet sidan summaren 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit
fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på.  I og med at eg allereie
hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks
interesse for prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært
mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte 60
klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets
hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt
sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og
mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande
system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. På grunn av at
Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet,
som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og
Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å
ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti
at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er
utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg,
for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare»
program.  Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla,
OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så
fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere».
Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux
sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere
må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase
med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli
mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette
opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste
versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular
må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte
dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir.  Etter
kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og
viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i
bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast
mot desse fagsystema.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og
lærerik prosess. Miljøet rundt er ikkje enormt stort, dog stort nok,
men det er svært hjelpevillig og engasjert.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Frikart - Free Garmin maps for European countries based on OpenStreetmap</title>
                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Frikart___Free_Garmin_maps_for_European_countries_based_on_OpenStreetmap.html</link>        
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Frikart___Free_Garmin_maps_for_European_countries_based_on_OpenStreetmap.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2013 09:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;If you, like me, want an updated a map for your Garmin GPS, there is
now a great source of free maps available from
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikart.no/garmin/index.html&quot;&gt;Frikart&lt;/a&gt;.  To
download a map, just click on the country you are interested in, and
download the map type you want.  There are 8 different maps available,
using different colours and data selection.  Pick one of Roadmap, Topo
Summer, Topo Winter, Roadmap II, Topo Summer II, Topo Winter II,
&quot;Trails - overlay map&quot; and &quot;Cross country - overlay map&quot; (see the web
page for descriptions).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The maps are updated weekly, so if you find something wrong in the
map you can just edit the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetmap&lt;/a&gt; map source
(anyone can contribute) and fetch a fixed map a week later. :)&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>&quot;Electronic&quot; paper invoices - using vCard in a QR code</title>
                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/_Electronic__paper_invoices___using_vCard_in_a_QR_code.html</link>        
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/_Electronic__paper_invoices___using_vCard_in_a_QR_code.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura&quot;&gt;solution promoted
by the Norwegian government&lt;/a&gt; require that invoices are sent through
one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
facilitators.  This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers.  My preferred
solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
protocol like REST or SOAP.  But this might also be overkill, as the
&quot;electronic&quot; information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
using a simple bar code.  My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there.  The
content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard&quot;&gt;the vCard format&lt;/a&gt;, as
it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
information can be included using such extentions.  For example an
invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html&quot;&gt;ask
for donations to the Debian Edu project&lt;/a&gt; and thus have bank account
information publicly available) for NOK 1000.00 could have these extra
fields:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
X-INVOICE-NUMBER:1
X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
X-INVOICE-KID:123412341234
X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:16040884339
X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
answer regarding
&lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10045664/storing-bank-account-in-vcard-file&quot;&gt;how
to put bank account information into a vCard&lt;/a&gt;.  For payments in
Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The complete vCard could look like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
ORG:SLX Debian Labs Foundation
ADR;WORK:;;Gunnar Schjelderups vei 29D;OSLO;;0485;Norway
URL;WORK:http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/
EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:sdl-styret@rt.nuug.no
REV:20130212T095000Z
X-INVOICE-NUMBER:1
X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:16040884339
X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
END:VCARD
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The resulting QR code created using
&lt;a href=&quot;http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/&quot;&gt;qrencode&lt;/a&gt; would look
like this, and should be readable (and thus checkable) by any smart
phone, or for example the &lt;a href=&quot;http://zbar.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;zbar
bar code reader&lt;/a&gt; and feed right into the approval and accounting
system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-12-qr-invoice.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
handling invoices.  I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-02-12 11:30&lt;/strong&gt;: Added KID to the proposal
based on feedback from Sturle Sunde.&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;For et halvt år siden
&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SQL_database_med_anbud_publisert_p__Doffin.html&quot;&gt;satte
jeg opp et system for å lage en database&lt;/a&gt; med informasjon om
offentlige anbud fra &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doffin.no/&quot;&gt;Doffin&lt;/a&gt; ved
&lt;a href=&quot;https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/norwegian-doffin/&quot;&gt;hjelp av
Scraperwiki&lt;/a&gt;.  Nå er databasen så vidt jeg kan se komplett, med
data helt tilbake til 2008.  Her er litt statistikk over
&lt;a href=&quot;https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=htmltable&amp;name=norwegian-doffin&amp;query=select%20strftime(%22%25Y-%25m%22%2C%20publishdate)%20as%20publishmonth%2C%20count(*)%20from%20%60swdata%60%20group%20by%20publishmonth%20order%20by%20publishmonth%20desc&quot;&gt;antall

                <title>Sleep until morning - home automation for the kids</title>
                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Sleep_until_morning___home_automation_for_the_kids.html</link>        
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Sleep_until_morning___home_automation_for_the_kids.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:25px;&quot; src=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-10-morning-light.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
during the night and wake up when it is morning.  I mean, when I
believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier.  In our household we
have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day.  They have adapted
quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake
up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put
the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00
some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem.  It
involve home automation.  A few years ago I bought a
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick&quot;&gt;Tellstick&lt;/a&gt; and RF
switches at the local &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clasohlson.com/&quot;&gt;Clas
Ohlson&lt;/a&gt; shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
gadgets using my Linux server.  When I moved from the old flat to a
small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
the gadgets I had.  But recently I bought a
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net&quot;&gt;Tellstick
Net&lt;/a&gt; to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
sockets.  I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding.  The default
setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
ones own
&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware&quot;&gt;firmware
with local access&lt;/A&gt; instead of being controlled by a Swedish
company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
code.  I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
important.  But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
the kids came to me yesterday.  We can set up a night light controlled
by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00.  The kids can
then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
get up or not.  They joined me in setting everything up, and I
repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
&quot;morning light&quot; was turned on and signalled that the morning had
arrived.  So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
to tell the kids to get up.  We do not have to wait until 07:00, and
can also delay it if we want to.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Hva stemte hver stortingsrepresentant i voteringene om datalagringsdirektivet?</title>
                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Hva_stemte_hver_stortingsrepresentant_i_voteringene_om_datalagringsdirektivet_.html</link>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Nytt stortingsvalg er på trappene, og folket får igjen mulighet til
å påvirke sammensetningen i vår lovgivende forsamling.  Da er det
relevant å vite hvilke representanter og partier som har støttet
innføringen av brev- og besøkskontroll av hele den norske
befolkningen, det vil si datalagringsdirektivet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hvis du vil vite hva hver enkelt stortingsrepresentant har stemt i
stortingsvoteringene om datalagringsdirektivet, så har nettstedet til
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;Holder De Ord&lt;/a&gt; den (så vidt jeg
vet) eneste komplette oversikten på sin temaside om
&lt;a href=&quot;https://data.holderdeord.no/issues/69-innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;innføringen
av datalagringsdirektivet&lt;/a&gt;.  Den har detaljene fra de 11 relevante
forslagene som har vært fremmet så lagt.  De har vært votert over
2011-04-04, 2011-04-11, 2012-06-11, 2012-10-05 og 2012-12-06.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva som er problemet med datalagringsdirektivet,
anbefaler jeg å lese &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;artiklene
fra Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt; om temaet, samt informasjon fra foreningen
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltpersonvern.no/&quot;&gt;Digitalt
Personvern&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

den gamle URL-en sluttet å fungere.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Økt overvåkning applauderes igjen av Arbeiderpartiet, Høyre og Fremskrittspartiet</title>
                <link>https://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/_kt_overv_kning_applauderes_igjen_av_Arbeiderpartiet__H_yre_og_Fremskrittspartiet.html</link>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ser med gru at Arbeiderpartiet, Høyre og Fremskrittspartiet
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Positive-til-mer-smuglerovervaking-7110348.html&quot;&gt;applauderer
tollvesenets forslag&lt;/a&gt; om å øke overvåkningen i Norge nok et hakk.
Det er ikke så rart, da de som uttaler seg jo også har støttet
innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet eller i hvert fall ikke veldig
aktivt har motarbeidet det.  Innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet er
en lovendring som innebærer brev og besøkskontroll for hele
befolkningen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=48717&quot;&gt;Datalagringsdirektivet&lt;/a&gt;
har vært oppe til votering i stortinget tre ganger så langt.  Det ble
&lt;a href=&quot;http://svartelisten.org/&quot;&gt;vedtatt første gang 2011-04-04&lt;/a&gt;
og
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/holderdeord/hdo-folketingparser/blob/master/data/votering-2011-04-11.xml&quot;&gt;andre
gang 2011-04-11&lt;/a&gt; (lovendringer voteres to ganger), og forslag om å
stoppe loven ble
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/Voteringsoversikt/?p=53844&amp;dnid=1&quot;&gt;nedstemt
2012-12-06&lt;/a&gt; (se også
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;oversikt fra Holder De
Ord&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jan Bøhler i Arbeiderpartiet stemte for å innføre
datalagringsdirektivet i lovverket i første votering, var ikke
tilstede i andre votering og støttet loven i tredje votering.  André
Oktay Dahl i Høyre var ikke til stede i første og andre votering men
støttet loven i tredje votering.  Ulf Leirstein i Fremskrittspartiet
stemte mot loven i første votering men var ikke til stede i andre og
tredje votering.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva som er problemet med datalagringsdirektivet,
anbefaler jeg å lese &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;artiklene

                <pubDate>Sat, 2 Feb 2013 09:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;My
&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_backport_bitcoin_qt_version_0_7_2_2_to_Debian_Squeeze.html&quot;&gt;last
bitcoin related blog post&lt;/a&gt; mentioned that the new
&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin&quot;&gt;bitcoin package&lt;/a&gt; for
Debian was waiting in NEW.  It was accepted by the Debian ftp-masters
2013-01-19, and have been available in unstable since then.  It was
automatically copied to Ubuntu, and is available in their Raring
version too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But there is a strange problem with the build that block this new
version from being available on the i386 and kfreebsd-i386
architectures.  For some strange reason, the autobuilders in Debian
for these architectures fail to run the test suite on these
architectures (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/672524&quot;&gt;BTS #672524&lt;/a&gt;).
We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
no-one have been able to propose a fix.  If you got an idea what is
failing, please let us know via the BTS.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One feature that is annoying me with of the bitcoin client, because
I often run low on disk space, is the fact that the client will exit
if it run short on space (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/696715&quot;&gt;BTS
#696715&lt;/a&gt;).  So make sure you have enough disk space when you run
it. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
