Under the stars...

🕚︎ - 2000-10-23

Last night the dog and I walked down to the sea in the dark. The sky was clear an there was an incredible number of stars visible. I almost couldn't find Cassiopeia because of all the "extra" stars. On the way back we noticed that a fog was brewing - it wasn't on our way out.

Linux Today reports that at least the German branch of Microsoft feel that they have to use advertising against Linux. This is of course interpreted by Linux-enthusiasts as a case of "We Win!" - until now Microsoft has just been using FUD against Linux, now they have to resort to advertising!

Searching for people named "Frank" using Google turned up this most remarkable website: "Robot Frank's Life". Talk about bizarre; but in a nice way!

It's unbelievable what some people will do for munny!

"Gibson Research Cooporation" is a funny (and funny-looking) place. The high-level security-testing gizmo seems to designed to scare people (into buying something?). Can't take it seriously, sorry.
