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.

    Thanks! You have no idea how annoying those mood messages were to me. [Reading your post again] Ok, I guess you have some idea.

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.

Installing Box Backup on a ReadyNas NV+ (sparc)

Image
I'm jetlagged so what do I do? I install Box Backup on my NetGear ReadyNas NV+. A while ago I have in fact built my own little datacenter in my loft. There I store all my music and most importantly the backup for all the pictures that I take. It is a raid 5 so if one of the disks breaks down, I can still recover 100% of the data. But what happens if it gets stolen or something really bad happens? I will loose everything so I need to have another backup copy of my data somewhere else. Meet www.boxbackup.org : The backup daemon,  bbackupd , runs on all machines to be backed up. The store server daemon,  bbstored  runs on a central server. Data is sent to the store server, which stores all data on local filesystems, that is, only on local hard drives. Tape or other archive media is not used. The ReadyNas NV+ has a Sparc CPU and at the moment there are no official builds for this platform so I had to build it myself. It took a while to find the right setup so let me shar
