Deep Thought

Deep Thought thinks that today I happen to be the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Philistine tongues abbreviate that down to 42.

66 pages of Microsoft Evilness

Excerpts from Microsoft's corporate philosophy (Yes, official corporate philosophy delivered by MS's top company stewards James Plamondon and Marshall Goldberg.):
"ISVs are pawns..."

While I do not agree with the Boycott Novell philosophy (I use OpenSUSE), the site does have some interesting material on Microsoft.

Bespin

I rarely say "Wow" when I see some new technology. I give it a good hard jaded look and give it an occasional grudging 'Nice!'. But check out Bespin, a web code editor using Canvas tags and ECMAScript with a standards compliant browser (yes, that means don't use IE). This one does deserve great big jaw-dropping WOW!

A good idea gone bad...

Why you need to do stuff yourself.
No, never let your boss / colleague do it for you.
Way too much chaos can ensue...

I always love a good pun :D

7 things...

Seven facts of minimal significance about me, and probably less-well known:

1. I never met my best friend in person for a long time. Then I married her.
2. I have terrible stage fright.
3. I don't drive cars - don't even have a license.
   
4. The first programming language I used in a professional capacity: x86 assembly
   
5. Three years before I even got to know there was this thing called an Internet, I wrote a large part of the curses library in Turbo C 2.0 and TASM.
   
6. I like to eat any kind of cream biscuits in multiples of two. The way I eat them, I *need* to - no, I'm not saying any further.
   
7. I'm pretty much an open book - unfortunately its the kind that gets banned in some countries. ;)

May the farce be with you

Batman sues Batman over Batman

Groan! Another stupid lawsuit. The Mayor of a city called Batman, Turkey, is suing Warner Brothers for using their city's name without permission.

Next we'll have Scots go 'there can be only one' and sue the pantskilts off for Highlander.
