Disable Skype's mood message chat

It was driving me nuts!! After installing the latest 2.8 beta for mac I was getting one of those red notifications every time any of my contacts was changing his mood message.

Luckily you can disable it in the Preferences->Advanced->Enable Mood Message Chat.

    I find extremely annoying that this is enabled by default. Thanks for the tip.

    Thanks.. I feel that whenever I run into problems with new versions of any software it's most likely some "nice" automated addition that I want to turn off and need help to do it.

    Come on Skype! Seriously! We're all not in the mood for your MOOD MESSAGE.

    Is it just me? Unchecking the preferences->advanced->
    enable mood message dosen't change anything. I still get a
    red point notification at the top right corner of the window,
    So I still never know before opening it if somebody tried to
    contact me or if it's a mood message.

    Is there a way to really disable this feature? I mean, not
    erasing the message once it came to my computer, but simply
    preventing it to be received by my computer.

The little yellow book of vaccinations

Image
I have almost filled my yellow book with vaccinations. You get it when you contact NHS and make an appointment with your closest travel clinic. I went to my usual surgery Sterndale in Hammersmith. The nurse recommended to get Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Rabies and the compulsory Yellow Fever. Some of them require more than one shot so make sure to start your treatment at least 3 weeks before you leave. I am also going to get an anti malaria treatment but for that I need another appointment. The injection are almost harmless so don't be scared. Be scared of the bill though as some of those vaccines are not free and cost up to 40£ per short. And yes, you can also use private clinics as Nomad (STA Travel) but it will cost you more.

ReadyNas NV+ and rsync

Setting up an account to backup a windows machine to my Nas I discovered an issue with the rsync setup. I first enabled the rsync protocol in the readynas admin interface. I then added a new user account and when I was testing I got the following error: rsync -av myidr/ newuser@mynas: newuser@mynas's password: Connection closed by 192.168.1.100 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-35.2/rsync/io.c(452) [sender=2.6.9] I tracked down the problem to not having a ssh key on the nas for the new user: su - newuser Password: newuser@mynas:~$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair.
