You probably already know the famous "... in plain english" videos by Lee LeFever like Wikis in Plain English. Okay, here's one other, this time not by Lee. That's an original by Ernie and Bert on the Sesame Street. Ernie is trying to group toys to decide who is going to clear the mess. Well, just see how he fails to come up with a classification to make it a fair job.

Once again this site has been redesigned. Well, for 1 year, 4 months we had the ``black water'' theme, dark and quite special. This wasn't quite appropriate anymore as business expanded from that of a free lancing TWiki consultant to a real company. So enjoy the much improved current design.

Here's one of my favorite bands, sharing videos on last.fm recently. Too bad my Konqueror is having problems with gtk based browser plugins, such as flash, that are badly programmed and don't call gtk_init (or what was it) before using the toolkit.

Dr. James Anderson, from the University of Reading's computer science department solved the 1200 year old problem of dividing by zero, which results in a new number called ``nullity''.

There's lots of robot research to make them more autonomous, that is implement devices that not only classify sensory input accurately but also get active, e.g. shoot you. Unfortunately these devices are not yet available for a reasonable price: 200.000 US-Dollar for the latest Armed Security Guard Robot made in Korea. Maybe I just wait and see when they show up on ebay.

Tell me, who cares. I don't as there are better platforms to develop software with and have been in the hands of fossies for quite some time now. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols asks whether Java's move to GPL is too late? and my answer is a firm ``Yes, Sir.'' I don't care what took them so long to make that step.

Thanks for Firefox 2.0 ... well and also thanks for IE 7.0. These two browsers really create a hugh bow wave. Yet, I still prefer this KDE browser called Konqueror that matures in their slipstream. You may be inclined to call me a pighead. Permission granted.

There are a few news stories coming up recently ("Hail the Konqueror", "The Linux killer app: KDE's Konqueror") that talk about KDE's build-in web browser. It took quite some time that people realized what a nice browser this is.
