+==== GEEK UPDATE: A productive flight ====
+
+On the flight back to Europe, I spent some time hacking on [[GeekiGeeki]] to add little goodies such as
+
+ * a grid view for photos;
+ * automatic generation of human-readable link tags from wiki URLs;
+ * a common parser for argument lists such as "foo|bar=1|baz=3";
+ * the ability to specify css style for links and inline objects, which I'm using to produce
+ floating thumbnails on the side of pages without resorting to HTML
+
+These new features will make my wiki markup even lighter than before.
+Moreover, these additions actually resulted in further //simplification//
+of the codebase rather than code bloat.  Way to go!

 about Japanese traditions and religion.  Hiking through these sacred mountains and woods was an

 ==== Nikko Temple Area ====
 In the afternoon, we went to visit the [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/world_heritage_site]].
 One would expect to grow bored of Shinto and Buddhist temples after seeing many of them
 all over Japan, but visiting the Nikko temple area was once again an extraordinary experience.
 And I could finally spot a few [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miko]]s too!
