Get Your Beer Straight
Jun 08, 2005
I’ve been known to drink “socially” a few beers here and there but I must confess that I don’t really know much about the subject. I often rely on my taste buds OR how warm the weather is and how cold the beer is. But alas! I have just found this great site which will tell you all about pretty much any beer out there along with usefull reviews and definitions.

Sarge Is Out
Jun 07, 2005
Congratulations to all Debian developers/contributors out there! Version 3.1 (codenamed Sarge) has just been releasedwith 3+ years worth of development, sweat, tears and hard work going into the process!
I completely missed this little nugget: "Cuba will gradually switch to the open-source Linux operating system for its state computers, eliminating its exclusive use of Microsoft Windows, the government daily Juventud Rebelde reported" If they succeed with this migration Cuba will become (I believe) the first nation to completely go Open Source! Maybe Brazil will be next???
Earlier this year OSNews published my article titled "Installing Debian Linux For The Faint Of Heart." Today I came across another article dealing with the same subject. Now, I know people have hammered these types of articles to death in the net but this one sounded worth the risk of mentioning. For one thing, it covers hardening your bare-bones Debian server which, IMHO should be worth looking at no matter what.
My previous post talked about how our lives are getting registered in the internet, free for everyone and anyone to see. Today I learned about this site which has only strengthened my “thesis.” "is an ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard." Some of these so called postcards are the scariest things I’ve seen online in quite some time… Rather disturbing…
Having read this yesterday on how Google has become such a major presence in our life style, today’s article in the NY Times showed me yet another facet to living in the 21st century. I can only imagine future archeologists performing “cyber-digs” in order to study civilizations from our time. Why travel to Egypt if you can uncover everything there is to know about the pyramids from the confort of your house using Google search and maps?
