Phil Connors, misanthropic weatherman, goes to Punxsutawney to cover Groundhog
Day. A snow stop prevents him and his crew from leaving the town, and he has
to spend one more night there. When waking up the next morning, he slowly
notices that the events from the previous day are happening again, and finally
understands he's trapped in a time loop. He first spends his now infinite time
being annoying to other people, then going out with all the cute women around.
He then gets depressed and commits multiple time suicide, without succeeding
in leaving the time loop. One day he notices that he quite likes his colleague
Rita, but he has only one day to seduce her. After many failed attempts, he
becomes a better person, using his time to help other people (knowing in
advance what will happen to them), learning to play the piano, and becoming
known to the whole population. Finally, he manages to seduce Rita within the
day, and he finally escapes the time loop.

The Vor Game was published in 1990 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
After graduating from the Imperial Academy, Miles is sent to a remote arctic
training camp as the new weather officer. Refusing to obey an illegal order
from the camp's commander, General Metzov, Miles is charged with mutiny and
treason and, his behaviour having been considered the right one, spends some
time in detention in the depths of ImpSec as his career in the Imperial
Service is over. He's then transferred to ImpSec and sent by Illyan on a
covert mission in the Hegen Hub as an arms dealer to investigate the military
preparations in space stations, the Vervani (who have hired Randall's Rangers
mercenaries) and Aslunder (protected by former Dendarii Mercenaries, now again
under Oser's rule). He's then framed by his customer for murder, fails to
flee, separated from his superior officer and made prisoner. In detention, he stumbles upon
incognito Emperor Gregor, who, depressed, failed to commit suicide before
fleeing from his diplomatic duty on Komarr. Disguised as a worker, Miles
accompanies Gregor to Aslund station, where he makes contact with the
Dendarii, asking their help for reaching the Barrayaran embassy on Aslund.
Instead, they are delivered into the hands of Cavilo the femme fatale
commander of Randall's Rangers, seconded by Metzov, now a mercenary. Cavilo
keeps Gregor close to her, and sends Miles on a mission to retake command of
the Dendarii as Admiral Naismith. Miles succeeds with the help of the his
friends among the Dendarii, and guesses Cavilo's plan to marry Gregor and
become Empress of Barrayar, abandoning her first plan to let the Cetagandans
invade the Hub and loot the planets in the confusion. Luring Cavilo and Gregor
to his ship as she is abandoning her mercenaries, Miles recovers his emperor
and keeps the Cetagandan invasion at bay by letting Gregor diplomatically
unify the forces of the Hub until they are reinforced by Barrayaran ships. In
the end, Illyan agrees to make the Dendarii a tool of ImpSec.

The Warrior's Apprentice has been published in 1986 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Miles Vorkosigan fails his physical entry exam to the Imperial Military
Academy. He then goes to Beta Colony to visit his grandmother, accompanied by
sergeant Bothari and his daughter Elena. Soon after his arrival, he buys
(giving a piece of worthless land on Barrayar as guarantee for later payment) an
obsolete freighter to prevent his pilot, Arde Mayhew, from committing suicide
and destroying part of the spaceport. Soon after, he meets a Barrayaran
deserter, engineer Baz Jezek. Together, they accept a cargo of "agricultural
material" to pay back for the freighter. The cargo is actually weapons for the
Felicians, one side of a civil war on Tau Verde IV, and they are soon stopped by Oseran
Mercenaries who control access to the planet for the Felicians adversairs, the
Pelians. Miles and his party manage to take control of the mercenary ship,
pretending to be part of the Dendarii Mercenaries. The prisoners are soon
turned into the first actual Dendarii Mercenaries, and they deliver together
the cargo. On the space station where they land, they are attacked by Pelians
and Oser's troops, but manage to beat them and hire the whole of them as
Dendarii mercenaries. They then break Oser's trust in their Pelian employer by
hijacking the mercenaries' monthly pay, and finally the whole of Oser's
troops become Dendarii. Miles is then joined by his cousin Ivan, who was under
direct order to find him, but actually unknowingly escaped death by being late
as usual. Back on Barrayar, Miles foils an attempt to break a rift between the
Emperor and Vorkosigan House by being actually present instead of fomenting a
revolution with the help of his private (and illegally owned) army, as the
conspirators claim. Miles gives ownership of his mercenaries to the Emperor,
who gives it to ImpSec. Having proven his value as a tactician and a
commander, Miles is then allowed to join the Academy.

Barrayar has been published in 1991 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
At the emperor's death, Aral Vorkosigan becomes Regent of prince Gregor. But
many would like to take his place by force, or at least replace him with a
more traditionalist head of state. Aral is attacked twice; the second time
Cordelia is a victim as well and the antidote to the combat gas used in the
attack affects he baby she is bearing. He is surgically removed and placed in a
uterine replicator, and follows an experimental treatment to repair the damage
made to his developing bones. Several weeks later, the head of imperial
security arrives to Vorkosigan House with prince Gregor; the imperial
residence has been attacked by Vordarrian's partisans, Gregor's mother Kareen
has been taken hostage. Cordelia, Gregor and a few trusted men flee to the
mountains to hide Gregor. Cordelia then joins her Aral in his headquarter.
When she learns that the laboratory where her baby was treated was attacked
and that the uterine replicator was taken hostage without anyone able to
service it, she decides to lead, against Aral's will, a commando attack to the
imperial residence, using Kareen's former bodyguards knowledge of secret
escape routes. She manages to recover the uterne replicator, killing
Vordarrian (and Kareen) in the process. This leads to the defeat of the
rebellion. Some time later, Miles Vorkosigan is born, with extremely brittle
bones.

Cohen the Barbarian and his Silver Horde are going to Dunmanifestin to “take
the fire back to the gods”, as a vengeance for the latter letting the heroes
getting old instead of getting killed heroically in battle. When they learn
about that, the Patrician and the Wizards of Ankh-Morpork send a team to
prevent this from happening, since the very powerful explosive the heroes are
carrying would destroy the gods and thereby destroy all magic on the Disc,
with catastrophical consequences. The team is composed of Carrot, Rincewind
and Leonard of Quirm, who built the dragon-powered vehicle that is thrown off
the edge of the Disc, travels below it between the Elephant's legs, and is
supposed to circle back above the Disc and land on the top of Cori Celesti.
Because of the unexpected presence aboard of the Librarian, they are forced to
land on the Moon to refill their air tanks and find fuel for the dragons. They
eventually arrive and manage to convince Cohen that if they destroy the gods,
and therefore the Disc, nobody would remember the dead Heroes (which is what
being a Hero is all about). The Horde leaves running with the soon-to-detonate
explosive and die heroically. Or maybe actually not?

In the 1930, Carl Frederiksen dreams of adventures and idolizes the explorer
Charles Muntz. He meets Ellie who is a fan of Muntz as well and they promis
each other to bring her house onto a cliff in South America near a waterfall,
depicted in one of Muntz's books. But the couple never got enough money and
Ellie died before they could fulfill their dreams. Living alone in the house
and soon to be forced to live in a retirement home, Carl attached his house to
a large amount of helium-filled balloos and flies to South America,
accidentally accompanied by a boy scout who was trying to get his last badge.
They land near the waterfall, and fall out of the house; unable to get in
again, they pull it towards their destination. On the way, they find a
strange, huge bird (first discovered by Muntz who was called a fraud and leaft
promising not to come back before he can bring a specimen) who is chased by a
a pack of dog who can talk through their electronic collar. The dogs take them
to Muntz who still lives nearby in his dirigible. Muntz discovers they have
found the bird (that has followed them) and tries to capture it. They manage
to escape, but Muntz then manages to capture the bird. They board the
dirigible and save it, Muntz getting killed in the process. Eventually they
come back home and Carl becomes the boy scout's adoptive grandfather.

Deux trames narratives entrelacées. Dans le présent, une manufacture de
cigares de luxe dans le Périgord a fait faillite et est reconvertie en usine
d'eBooks. Dulcie, l'amie d'Arnaud le propriétaire tombe dans le coma de
chagrin. En parallèle, M. Wang, le PDG, ne s'intéresse qu'à ses pigeons
voyageurs de compétition et à observer par caméra interposée ses employées
dans leur vestiaire, et en particulier à Charlotte. Jalouse, Louise la DRH
fait accuser Charlotte de vol, et M. Wang la séquestre dans son bureau, nue,
toute la nuit. Le lendemain, Louise retrouve sur la tablette de M. Wang une
vidéo des sévices qu'il a infligés à Charlotte. Louise empoisonne alors son
patron. Charlotte se réfugie chez Fabrice, un collègue hacker a ses heures, un
abandonné par sa mère quand il était petit. Rentrant chez elle, elle apprend
que sa voisine a tué son ivrogne de mari avant de se suicider ; en voyant de
vieilles lettres appartenant à la femme, elle découvre qu'il s'agissait de la
mère de Fabrice.
Dans un futur indéterminé, Martial Canterel, Shylock Holmes et son domestique
Grimod partent à la poursuite du voleur de l'Anankè, un diamant volé à une
amie commune, Lady MacRae dont la fille Verity est dans le coma depuis dix
ans. Étrangement, trois pieds chaussés de chaussures Anankè (une marque
inexistante) ont été retrouvés sur une plage anglaise. Les empreintes
superposées des trois chaussures produisent un message caché les guidant vers
un magicien qui se produit à Londres. Ce dernier meurt sur scène (chaussé
d'Anakè), mais ils trouvent un autre message secrèt indiquant que le diamant
partira pour Pékin dans le Transsibérien. Ils attrapent le train de justesse,
soupçonnent que le voleur est aussi un assassin notoire qui commet deux
meutres dans le train. Le train est ensuite attaqué par des bandits
révolutionnaires fanatiques religieux et leur groupe (augmenté du docteur
Mardrus, rencontré en chemin, qui décide de s'occupé de Verity) se retrouve
divisé. Grâce à l'armée de mercenaires qui vient à leur secours, ils
rejoignent leurs amis à Pékin où ils trouvent la photographie d'une chanteuse
unijambiste, leur indice suivant. Il s'agit en fait de la soeur jumelle de la
chanteuse, prostituée en Australie. Ils s'y rendent en dirigeable (ils font
naufrage en cours de route, mais regagnent l'Australie sans explication) où
ils trouvent des coordonnées tatouées de manières anamorphiques autour de son
anus. Ces coordonnées sont celle du point Némo, le point de l'océan Pacifique
le plus éloigné de toute terre. Ils affrètent un navire qui les emmènent au
point Némo, où une île faite de particules de plastique agglomérées apparaît
brusquement. Abandonnés sur l'île par les marins du navire, ils finissent par
découvrir un centre de recherche privé au centre de l'île où travaillent ceux
qui veulent améliorer le sort de la planète. Lady MacRae fait partie de cette
organisation, dont le chef, Martyrio, ancienne artiste de cirque, se présente
comme la fille de Moriarty. Toute l'enquête n'est qu'une mise en scène
destinée à les faire rejoindre lîle. Le docteur Mardrus se révèle être
l'assassin du Transsibérien et tente de saboter le centre de recherche.
Débarassés de lui mais l'île menaçant de couler, tous prennent place dans un
nautile géant, le Nautilus, et s'enfoncent sous l'eau. On apprent alors que
cette histoire a été inventée par Arnaud et racontée à Dulcie jour après jour
(à la manière des lecteurs dans les manufactures de cigare des Caraïbes). Une
fois l'histoire terminée, Arnaud met fin à ses jours et à ceux du Dulcie.

Dick Simnel invents the steam locomotive and manages to get into business with
Harry King. The Patrician orders Moist von Lipwig to take a closer look at
this phenomenon that gets all of Ankh-Morpork excited (even Drumknott).
Meanwhile, extremist dwarfs are causing trouble in Uberwald, accusing King
Rhys to stray from “true dwarfishness”. Moist helps King and Simenl building
the first railroad to Sto Lat and to Quirm, allowing fresh goods to arrive
still fresh to Ankh-Morpork. He discovers that goblins are very interested in
the train (and even start building an underground railway near Quirm). While a
conference between the kings of dwarfs and trolls takes place in Quirm, the
Patrician orders Moist to build a railway to Bonk in Uberwald. The task is
huge and the time is limited, but Moist eventually understands that with King
Rhys away from Uberwald, the extremist dwarfs will try to take power. Rhys is
then smuggled quietly out of Quirm and onto the train to Bonk. The journey is
long and they are attacked several times by rebel dwarfs. When they finally
arrive in Bonk, Rhys reasserts his right to the Scone of Stone and even
announces that he is actually female.

I just switched from using Xterm to using evilvte
but then I noticed that evilvte cannot be resize smaller. It can become
bigger, but there is no way back. Then I learned that URxvt does everything I
want (it even uses the same font as Xterm by default) with a bit of
configuration. And it's much more lightweight than evilvte (it doesn't use
GTK, that helps).
This is my
.Xresources
(everything you need to know is in the man page).
*VT100*foreground: black
*VT100*background: white
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt.secondaryScreen: 1
URxvt.secondaryScroll: 0
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
! old keyword
URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox
! new keyword
URxvt.url-launcher: firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
URxvt.keysym.C-Up: \033[1;5A
URxvt.keysym.C-Down: \033[1;5B
URxvt.keysym.C-Left: \033[1;5D
URxvt.keysym.C-Right: \033[1;5C
URxvt.keysym.C-Page_Up: \033[5;5
URxvt.keysym.C-Page_Down: \033[6;5
You need to merge it with X's resource database
xrdb -merge .Xresources
and then you can run the terminal.
And Firefox just restored the --remote option, so wmnetselect
should even work again (until next time, anyway). Let's say it was an
opportunity to learn about stuff…
