- There was much Christmas themed activity today. We started with a brunch and a visit with Santa at the club to which Grammy and Boppy belong.

- (SOURCE: The Future Of Web Conferencing: Good Interviews Heike Philp )- Excellent! I'd love to take German classes with my German teacher Gabi Futerer-Gil in Friedrichshafen over the web again.

- In my previous post I mentioned the year 1982. Some of you may not have been born yet or were too young to remember 1982 very well. So here are some things to give you the flavor of 1982: My school didn’t have any computers. |

- As announced, the translation (by Fabrice with some help of Alexander Kellett and yours truly) of the KDE article (Dutch, requires membership) in last Friday's Trouw: The enormous dependence on the computer program from the American Microsoft isn't a healthy situation. The Linux community therefore provides free software to use on PCs and is already gaining quite some terrain. But on the desktop PC Microsoft is still the dominant factor. Not for long though, as a small competitor to Microsoft, Lindows works to combine the power of Linux with the ease of use of Windows. |
