[ from the I-am-blogging-this dept. ]
I decided to modify my view on SCO from being a mere annoyance to being another collective which should be put out of their misery. Their utter shite specifically designed to cause FUD around Linux annoys greatly.
Still a comforting thought is that Unisys can no longer extort money from webmasters for using GIF format images – thankfully their patent has now expired and they will have to divert those people agressively persuing collections of royalties in to actually doing some kind of useful work…perhaps. Maybe not. Then again there are patents on pizza delivery.
Today I will be in Reading, London, and Cambridge. I am looking out for a portable mp3 player and perhaps a PDA within a reasonable time frame. Solaris is now heavily on my agenda and in particular I want to get back in to what source documentation I do have. In other development news I got the serial driver I was writing working aside from a couple of issues.
I bumped in to a Microsoft drone the other day and managed to piss them off very quickly indeed. Primarily this was because I was dressed in one of my walking Linux advert outfits but I might have been mumbling a few words under my breath.
Everyone who saw the news on Thursday night will have heard about the Burnham chemical fire incident. I ended up travelling for 5 hours on a journey which normally takes not much more than 30 minutes once on a train. Even given the circumstances it took 10 times as long!
Jon.
