About music...
Yes, Meike, I have Alabama - Can't take the Country out of me on my hard disc. Guess what? That's not all! Additionally I have Angels Among Us and I'm In A Hurry And Don't Know Why, too.
I'm pretty sure, I have some other country music, too... but honestly I don't know what category most of my music is. I don't sort them by categories, I don't play them by categories. I just create a big play list of (nearly) all files, and let random choose what to play... so let's see...
$ find ~/audio -type d -maxdepth 3 -exec sh -c 'find "$0" -type f| echo -n `wc -l` ; echo " $0" ' {} \; |sort -nr|less is a bit ugly, but gives some numbers...
I have 1680 files, taking 5.8 GB - all of them legal. 151 are in the subdirectory "classic", 396 belong to a nice collection called "World of Blues", 307 for the Beach Boys, 61 for Queen, 35 for The Blues Brothers and Pink Floyd.
And while we are at it, some curiosities:
25 /home/alex/audio/movie/classic_disney_volume_ii/60_years_of_musical_magic # my first self bought CD 25 /home/alex/audio/movie/MontyPythonSings # Uhm... 12 /home/alex/audio/h2g2 # :) 11 /home/alex/audio/movie/Dirty Dancing # Don't ask me, where I got that... 1 /home/alex/audio/movie/Rocky Horror Picture Show # Must have lost some of that soundtrack :(
So, yes, I have some country music. I think I have nearly every music style available... well... everything but German Volksmusic...

Making Progress
Got the time to work on my unreaded mails::
$ find Maildir/ -path \*new\* -type f|wc -l 1765
Beside the usual "I should try to find I way to not allow so many mails to accumulate" I learned some other interesting things I so far after my small vacation:
- my boss has a nice way to tell me that I should get to work in time
- eating doesn't help against frustration
- ... that's especially true for chocolate
- After not eating sweets for more than four months, eating much chocolate can lead to a hangover like feeling.
- Well. At least it seems that I got an interesting job offer. Let's hope that works out for good.
Oh, and I finished signing all the keys last weeks. Some mails could not be delivered, if you are still missing a signature from me, please contact me, I'll see what I can do.

Back!
Took some days off, just came back, took a look at my e-mails:
$ find Maildir/ -path '*/new/*' -type f|wc -l 6014
Ugh. I think, I'll need some time to get back in present time...

If you don't read any further posts...
... Meike (who likes "both kinds of music: Country and Western") got me. Please try to find my body, and bury me on the western side of a hill, so I can see the sun set ;)

Dear Meike,
if you don't know, how to describe German Volksmusik1, how about a small analogy?
For many Germans Volksmusik is as much annoying as Country and Western is for Americans.
1: Personally I wouldn't use the term Music, since it implies by my definition, that it sounds good…
