Stop Bush! (Oct 28 2003 17:59 GMT) - George Bush’s state visit to Britain on 19, 20 and 21 November adds insult to the injury already inflicted by the Iraq war. Millions of people will be horrified that the warmonger in chief is being fêted in London. Already many people wanting to do something have contacted the Stop the War Coalition. Following the success of our demo on the 27th September, many people are suddenly realising that there is still an enormous movement for peace and justice in the country. The Bush visit is the next major opportunity to give expression to those beliefs, and mobilise the British people against the phoney Bush-Blair “war on terror”. |

- On the world stage, both failures and successes can loom larger than in the corporate cubicle. Developers who plug into the reputation-driven meritocracy of open source -- while advancing the goals of your business -- are a force to be reckoned with. [InfoWorld: Open source citizenship: October 24, 2003] This column was based on the observation that corporate IT shops are apparently more likely to fork an open source project for internal development and use, than to join and contribute to the project. |

- Zuerst dachte ich ja, lediglich die Palm-Synchron-Software würde ein wenig rumzicken, doch seit Sonntag war einer meiner Rechner schlichtweg krank: Programme ließen sich nicht mehr starten, das Netzwerk verhielt sich übellaunig und selbst die Soundkarte wollte nicht mehr, wie sie sollte. Fast hatte ich mich schon mit der Aussicht auf eine Neuinstallation der Kiste angefreundet, als mein Blick auf das Änderungdatum einer frisch erstellten Datei fiel: 28.10. |
