- Demos a la Tierra una oportunidad" es en el 2002 el lema del DÃa Mundial del Medio Ambiente. DifÃcil, por no decir imposible, objetivo en el actual marco económico-polÃtico que decide el destino de más de seis mil millones de seres humanos. DifÃcil cuando la mayorÃa de las decisiones polÃticas y económicas parten, a pesar de las continuas referencias al desarrollo sostenible, de los falsos supuestos de que crecimiento económico y recursos naturales son infinitos y de que la ciencia y la tecnologÃa tienen capacidad absoluta para solucionar cualquier problema, tal y como veladamente denuncia el Director Ejecutivo del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente, en su mensaje con ocasión de este DÃa Mundial Del Medio Ambiente. |

- Via Open Access News: Why have ebooks failed thus far? We can get at this by looking at why Project Gutenberg does not use image scans of printed texts: "eople are not interested in scans. Some Project Gutenberg sites each hand out 10 million eBooks per year -- impossible with scanned images or full text eBooks due to their bandwidth-consuming oversize. |

- Interesting article that touches on distance learning by using the David Noble 'digital diploma mill' controversy as one of five examples. The author asks, do we search engines stifle controversial subjects? There is some evidence that some such issues do not show up in simple searches, but this is more a result of social factors, not technological. In the discussion there is an interesting distinction drawn between the 'organizational' web of "companies, universities, trade associations, consortia, alliances, and government agencies", and the 'analytic web', consisting of "full–text (or tables of contents) journals, technical reports and preprints, opinion pages, bibliographies, and pages of links to these." While the former is well interlinked, the latter is not. |

- Hi - looking for some re-assurance here from people who are more technically minded. My work PC is dual boot to Windows (for games) and (Mandrake) Linux (for important stuff like work!); my daughters both use Windows XP on their machines ('cos I wanted them have the same stuff as they're stuck with at school). At the moment we fight over a dial-up to our ISP..... |

- Woke up to discover that my little writing project had been added to MovableType's Spotlight Sites last night.Leukemia Survivor is a gripping first-person memoir of one man's experiences fighting, and triumphing over, his disease. Though it's been a decade since the struggle, the creative use of Movable Type's categories and templates makes the presentation and impact of this diary as immediate as if the events happened yesterday.I expect traffic levels to increase dramatically over there, since the list of Spotlight Sites doesn't ever go away. Thanks, Anil. |

- C'est déjà le dernier match de la saison et le président Seydou Gaoussou Sissoko a fait la surprise aux supporters de l'Etoile Rouge de Bamako de leur offrir un match de gala pour les remercier de leur soutien sans faille. C'est en effet le leader invaincu de la division, les Anchorage Killa Clowns qui rendent visite aux canards bamakois. Ces derniers peuvent encore espérer monter avec une victoire si leurs concurrents directs se neutralisent et, les clowns souhaitant finir la saison sans défaite, le match s'annonce passionnant. Les canards ont déjà perdu cette saison face à Anchorage, l'heure de la revanche va t'elle sonner? Rejoignons vite le stade où l'ambiance est complètement hystérique... |

- Last Monday appeared my net column on PowerPoint (written in Finnish, Kuinka PowerPoint tuhosi avaruussukkulan). This column is still generating feedback, more than any writing I have written before. (Well, perhaps a printed column on LaTeX vs. Microsoft Word generated more feedback.) Readers are either defending PowerPoint or telling their favorite story about problems with PowerPoint. |

- Spending in Telecom infrastrucutre is incresing via such firms as Verizon, which as you know is one of the major markets Sun does well in selling hardware, software, and services. Let us hope that the CEO does not let this upswing go to his head and continue his company's embracement of both Linux and OpenSource Java contributions. |
