I just accidentally found out that skype allows you to edit past messages using a regex (or at least a perl like edit syntax ..)

i just wanted to fix a past message like i always do.. and entered:
s/m/r/

and wondered why it wasn't sent.. when i discovered that it actually fixed the above message :) (luckily.. i didn't use much m's in that line)

you can even find that feature mentioned on the web.. although no idea if there is an official documentation ?

Well.. installing linux does not sound scary to me for the last decade .. but this time it turned out to be a bit more complicated than anticipated.. not because of linux but because there was no way to boot from an external USB cdrom or USB memory stick (or at least i was too dumb for configuring it in the BIOS)


anyway .. luckily there still was a ide cdrom drive "lying around" in an old dell PC .. this is all easy enough .. but it just looks too crazy ... (since the cdrom drive's power still came from the dell pc)


but the linux installation itself went smoothly :)
