Linux.com | Feed your content cravings with Liferea
Trying this as my new feed reader. Good interface but a few small glitches now and then. Restarting the application seems to clear the problems up. Biggest complaint is that the scroll bar on the feed articles area in the upper right box disappears at random. Or seems to be at random. Will keep on using it for a while and see how it goes as otherwise I like.
TorrentSpy ruling a ‘weapon of mass discovery’ | Tech News on ZDNet
Tis truly a pity that there are folk in responsible positions that can’t find their arses with both hands, a Grey’s anatomy, AND a mirror.
The Red Hot Jazz Archive
For those with a taste for old Jazz, here ya go! Lotta good stuff on this site. Real player format but I suspect that there is some way to convert them to mp3 or ogg. Enjoy!
Boing Boing: Steampunk computing
Now this is just awesome as hell! I love it and want to build one! Won’t copy this but gonna have to see just what I can do as far as using stuff that is collecting dust and rust in the storage buildings and barn to turn my existing system into a thing of beauty somewhat along these lines.
eyeOS Home | Web Desktop – Web OS – Web Office – your files and applications everywhere
This looks verrrrry interesting. Gonna have to try it out and see fer me self but from what I seem to be reading tis just the ticket for folks that use more than one machine. Suspect the bad part is gonna be having to install the os on each one but have only skimmed the first page of the site so far.

Floating light bulb part 2. Interesting concept and execution.
Groklaw – Novell SJ Hearing Transcript – May 31, 2007 as text
I have tried to read the arguments, really I have, but the “logic” that they are using is “not” logical at least to me. I don’t think. Then again it may be that my brain just exploded in trying to follow this crap that SCO’s lawyers are dishing out.
It seems that they are saying that if they had won the case in 2003 that SCO would have still been making money and now they want Novel and Linux (all the distros I think) to pay them back the money that they would have made along with damages. And they want the judge to award them this whether they own the unix patents or not. Or something. But I ain’t sure.
Good luck if you follow the link and try to read this crap.
