I also wish that Mozilla paid attention to http_proxy and ftp_proxy…

The Little World of Dan Camillo

Dominique Cimafranca said:

Memory is a very funny thing: all of a sudden it occurred to me to look up
some web references to a series of books I had read a long long time ago.
I don’t even remember what I was doing or thinking about.

Anyway, the series is called “The Little World of Dan Camillo.” It’s
about a priest in a little country village in post-World War II Italy and
his skirmishes with sometimes-friend sometimes-enemy Peppone, the leader
of the local Communist cell. It’s rollicking good fun.

Lo and behold! The complete stories are available on the web! Check out
http://members.tripod.com/~vajrang/littleworld/stories.html. If you can
get past the pop-up ads, you’ll find little unknown gems of stories.

Pop-up ads? What pop-up ads? I love my browser. =) Emacs/w3m is cool.
