THE 1 MILLION DOWNLOAD CHALLENGE - Opera Web Browser

Happy Passover

Monday, April 25th, 2005

Just discovered the Shabot comic strip. Some very good stuff, with interesting explanations of the jewish terminology used. Some particularly funny ones.

At least someone had a sense of humor

Note: Since the time this blog entry was written many great changes have been made to the iGrep search engine. The amount of ads have been greatly reduced, the archives are no longer searching and I believe iGrep is a useful too for searching the content on the devshed network.

Blog Aggregation and Spam

Friday, April 15th, 2005

I’m getting really tired of sites which are aggregating aggregators, just to generate content for their own site and spamming the internet with copyrighted content.
Artima is borderline, they grab the content of your feed and put it in their “forums”, put google ads on your content, without even the decency to host images themselves. […]

My favorite Urinal

Thursday, April 14th, 2005

Browsing UB this morning reminded me of my favorite urinal story.
It was (really) late one night during the summer of 1997 when in Odessa, Ukraine. I was returning from a party and I was dying to take a whiz.
I had made it as far as the last tram connection which would bring me down […]

Beautiful Drupal Site

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Round Two
Now isn’t that just the most georgous Drupal site you’ve ever seen? I’m very impressed with the colors as well.
The logo is just a little too Skype-like, but other than that it is a feast for the eyes!

Feature: No More Free BitKeeper
I hate commenting on stories that have already hit slashdot, but this one is too good to pass up.
I’ve never been that much of a Free Software zealot (there are some who would argue otherwise), but Linus’ move to BK did surprise me way back in 02. Linus has never been […]
