An Oddity In The Woods (Dec 24 2003 23:10 GMT) - Out in a cluster of trees in a town near us, there's one of the oddest things I've seen in nature. It's a cedar tree growing out of the limb of a cypress tree! It's quite high up in this tree too. People are guessing there was something wrong with the cypress tree's limb which made it have a gaping hole in one of its limbs. This hole must've been filled with dirt and stuff, and then a cedar tree seed found its way inside there. |

Taxing Christmas (Dec 24 2003 23:10 GMT) - This just in: A boss who gives each of his staff a turkey every Christmas had the shock of his life when the Inland Revenue hit him with a £6,000 tax bill.

Network Monitoring with Ethereal (Dec 24 2003 23:09 GMT) - Linux Gazette takes a look at Ethereal."Like virtually all protocol analyzers, Ethereal shows you a summary line for a packet, a hex dump and the ability to drill down thru the protocol tree. In addition, you can define filters to select and display the data you are interested in. There are quite a few command line options but unless you want to plant Ethereal in a script, it is easier to interactively set it up to do what you want." |
