Through a post on Nat.org I ran through Katrin.is. I’d say that she’s a very interesting person, with an interesting life, but I’d only be half sure. Seeing as I don’t read Icelandic it was a bit hard to figure out exactly what was going on. However, it was pretty neat to try. Going purely […]

In not checking my email between sometime yesterday afternoon (or evening) and now (10:30 on Saturday) I discovered the following breakdown of email that wasn’t caught by spam filters and that wasn’t sorted off into individual mailboxes: 44 email bounces (from the TDIClub messageboard, oh lucky me being postmaster and all ) Two notices from

So I saw that Microsoft is launching their anti-linux campaign, and wandered over to the website where could find the informative and completely unbiased reports. I picked one at random (“Lower Windows Staffing Costs Provide a TCO Advantage over Linux”) to read about how much cheaper an OS with client access licenses, no access to
