Federal court tells Wallace to stop wasting its time
Mar 22nd
Here’s a little something I’ve only just now seen. :-) First, while Mr. Wallace contends that the GPL is “foreclosing competition in the market for computer operating systems” (id.), his problem appears to be that GPL generates too much competition, free of charge. The court’s understanding from the GPL itself is that it is a…
Blog changes a’comin’
Mar 20th
I’m starting to make some slight changes to the blog. The first and most obvious is that all posts will now have Technorati Tags added to them. They’ll be appearing at the bottom top of every post. They will show up on the front page as well as the full post page. This of course…
Disgusting benefit fraud
Mar 20th
Ian sent me this link. I’ve not been paying attention to local news lately so I missed it completely. But I’m seriously disgusted. Ten years of social welfare frauds totalling $156,000 have earned jail sentences for a Christchurch couple. Elizabeth Cheryl McMillan, 56, and Bruce James McKenzie, 60, were today jailed for 16 months and…
Scary prospect
Mar 20th
The Government is exploring whether or not to give children individual ID numbers to prevent them falling through gaps in the social welfare system. Social Development Minister David Benson-Pope says he has received advice from overseas on such a scheme, and is also looking at other programmes. He says he is primarily interested in ensuring…
Some people are just stupid
Mar 20th
This is so ludicrous. I really don’t understand how they can expect it to pay off for them. A parental advice Internet site has sued Google Inc. charging it unfairly deprived the company of customers by downgrading its search-result ranking without reason or warning. The civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose,…
Real Men Don’t
Mar 19th
So while sitting here trying to figure out why Gmail Chat works, but Google Talk doesn’t work properly (says I’m connected, but I’m obviously not given that people I can see in Google Chat aren’t showing up in Google Talk) I was wandering around Google Video and stumbled upon this particular video. Now the politically…

Emerald Green
Mar 19th
Not quite the way I see it. I knew it’d be a green just from the questions they asked, but the description? They got the moody part right I guess, but I don’t exactly try to hide it. ;-) You Are Emerald Green Deep and mysterious, it often seems like no one truly gets you.…
Bahrain: Fantastic way to start a season
Mar 13th
That was truly one of the best races I have seen in a very long time. Ferrari are back!!!! Without a doubt, the only thing seperating Ferrari and Renault now is tactics. Thats the only reason for the race result. Because I don’t want to spoil the results for those that haven’t watched the race…
We were right after all
Mar 10th
Okay, so my timing was off, but my prediction has now come to fruition. :-) Google really is working on a Calendar and they’ve just gone in to limited testing of it. :-) The new calendar is currently called “CL2″ and will eventually become a part of Gmail. Not only will it function as a…
