Girl Genius Online Comics
The BEST comic I have ever read! Can’t begin to describe this one other than it is kinda steampunk/sci-fi based. Fantastic storyline and the artwork is awesome! Start with the first in 101 and move on to the advanced. Will take you a while but well worth the effort. Now that I have finished I’m planning on starting back over and taking a bit of time to study the whole thing.
Home Grown Home: A Straw Bale Off Grid Double-Wide (TreeHugger)
That’s a hell of a way to beat zoning restrictions! Just build the straw bale house on a mobile home frame. Cool!
Team Cycad: Bicycle Billboards (TreeHugger)
Seems like a strange way to advertise a product or event to me but what do I know…
Unix Portal:Nexenta OS – Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris
Link to info and iso’s mentioned in the previous post.
» Shadows over Linux | Paul Murphy | ZDNet.com
Interesting article. Paul makes some good points about the us vs them aspect of unix vs mac vs linux vs winblows vs… Gonna have to grab the 386 iso he points to and see what the buzz is about.
Future Tech: DARPA Looking Into Invisible, Shoot-Through, Self-Healing Armor – Gizmodo
Getting so it’s harder and harder to tell what’s real and what’s sci-fi. Gonna have to read up on the metamaterials. Seems like I read something about them a year or so ago but tis flushed from the memory stacks now.
Linux.com :: How to create poster presentations with Scribus
Another blow against overpriced publishing software. I’ve tried Scribus before but not in a while (but I haven’t needed to do any layout or print work in a while either). Guess I will install it and try it again just to see how much it’s changed.
Microsoft: We patch faster than Apple, Novell and Red Hat – Computerworld UK – The Voice of IT Management
Yea, and the check is in the mail…
I’ve read what the article states but I still wonder what this supposed study is based on. Is it total actual exploits fixed or just the ones that they admit to? Seems like the numbers don’t make a lot of sense with Winblows having 90 patches and apple 129 (?) etc. But then depending on HOW you slant your data you can make anything mean anything you want. Show all the data and results and then we’ll talk…
Upon entering PerlMonks.org this morning (June 21, 2007) I was greeted with:
Happy Monkday!!
You’ve been here 6 years.
Had no idea I had been a member that long. Time really flies when you’re having life…
