Anyone reading this may have noticed a change to the title. I'm very slowly in the process of putting together my website which includes a blog page - this one. In order to get everything looking similar, I've changed titles. Later I will include links to the other website. I figure two sites are better than one. There's a lot more I need to figure out about this site too.

I haven't done much this week (besides a bit of work on the site) but I have been reading the news. The Massachusetts(sp) thing is still going on, although I've read the comments on the state gorernment site from both companies and individuals and they are overwhelmingly positive, bar a couple of companies and individuals who appear tied to MS in some way. I've also noticed Newsforge.com has released OpenOffice.org training videos to help that State and anyone else cross-over from MSO to OOo, free of charge. Now that cuts down on the TCO.

Other things... There's a new release candidate for the Linux kernel, it's now up to 2.6.15rc1. Also several companies including IBM, Novell, Philips, Red Hat, and Sony have got together to form the Open Invention Network. They plan to buy up the patents to any technologies they already don't own and that would benefit the Linux community. Then they will give the technology (royalty-free) to anyone who agrees not to claim that Linux is infringing their own patent rights. Until next Monday....
