I'm afraid that most of my posts will occur at random times for a while. I have too much going on to keep my input regular. I hope to do something with this blog and my website for the new year. The easiest thing would be a link back and forth, the more complicated thing would be a proper blog page on my website. Easy first, think about complicated after easy is working.
On a more Open Source note, I tried out the new Ubuntu beta 5.10, I forget the name of the rodent. I found load errors on all three attempts, but it is a beta and 5.04 loaded back on with absolutely no hassle. Overall I'm happy with the stable release, and while I'm waiting for a stable 5.10, I'll look for other single CD distros. I don't think I'll have much luck and may have to go up to a 3 CD set.
News-wise the Mass-state versus Microsoft bun-fight still rages on but I'm losing interest on that. It should get more interesting when other states declare thier new IT policies. I also read that in the latest released list, 4 of the world's top 5 supercomputers run Linux (a derative). In fact the top 3 all run it and probably many more down the list. You can't beat that for advertising.
Beyond that, I haven't had a lot of time lately... TAFN

Have a look at this URL: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/download.html#download_firefox
About halfway down the page are the install links for the Calendar for Thunderbird. I've only used Sunbird, the stand-alone version, but it is quite good. I would imagine that this would be as good. Cheers, Doug -

And now Sun and Google look set to link up. That should be interesting. Coupled with the new launch of MS Vista next year. its raising the ante all the time. If it makes things tougher for the cyber invaders.. then hurrah to all of it!!

Time is in such short supply. And why is that? It because of all computers, dang them... "toot toot".
I just wish Thunderbird would include an integrated calendar. A serious ommision in my view.
