Tell me about Berlin!

Dear Lazyweb:

I'm going to be for the first time in Berlin, and I don't know nothing about the city. Can you please give me some hints about what you think I must visit? Also, I'm looking for hints about:

  • Good music stores;
  • Good music/alternative nightclubs (to see what kind of music I'm looking for check out http://www.last.fm/user/Mind_Booster/ )
  • Good Jazz clubs
  • Every stuff you might want to add ;-)
PS -> If you're in Berlin or are going to be there from the 2nd to the 11st of November and want to know the person behind this blog, tell me ;-)

MIME::Fast

Not surprisingly, I hate when stuff just does not work.

Trying to use MIME::Fast. To compile it (cpan install MIME::Fast) you need, supposedly, gmime 2.1.9 or higher. I can't get it to compile in any other version of gmime other than 2.1.9 (so old that there are no packages for it either for any version of Debian or Fedora Core 5). Compiling it (that exact version) makes MIME::Fast compile, but its tests only go well under Debian, not Fedora.

Ack.

Dear Lazyweb, do you know any good alternative for MIME::Fast? I mean, a Perl module that lets you easily interpret mail headers and body?

Gimme a license!

Dear LazyWeb:

Since I wrote this post last year, that it crossed my mind several times that I should license the contents of this blog, but with some recent discussion on a mailing list I decided: it's time. The problem is that I'm not really confortable with any license I know of. I wanted something like Public Domain, but that license has a severe problem (the one that made me decide not license more music under Public Domain): PD terms change from place to place: while I'm confortable with PD in Portugal, I'm not with USA's or UK's terms, and I simply find disgusting how PD is in Canada. The obvious choice would be something like Creative Commons licenses, as a matter of fact I like Attribution 2.5 Portugal. The problem is that all CC licenses tell that "For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work", which can cause some unnecessary trouble for those reusing my data.

So, dear LazyWeb, do you know of any license that solve my problem?
