29. May, 2003 - No Pictures
- Steph (whose birthday it is today) demands pictures from yesterday when I did basically zilch on the blogging front and exhorted people to get out and enjoy the day. Well, my day yesterday consisted of putting out fires all morning, then walking to Dinkytown to deposit a check and get some lunch, and getting so clobbered by allergies (the wind was blowing all kinds of things around) that I came home and slept until 6pm just to get my brain together enough to realize that I should take some allergy medicine so I could think again.
- ‘Conceal-carry’ gun law takes effect today (well, yesterday now), and efforts are already underway to repeal it.
- Windows Users Knocked Off Net by a security update from Microsoft. Which probably makes it pretty difficult to get the update that fixes the problem. Luckily it was an optional update, rather than an automatic one, so the damage was limited.
- Asia running out of IP-address room. Will it help get IPv6 adopted? Probably in Asia.
- In Apple force-feeds customers shit, calls it sunshine, Cory takes aim at Apple, and the way they have crippled iTunes in the most recent update. [boing boing]
- SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement? On top of their suit against IBM over the IP problems. But the biggest danger of all is that this will do to Linux what the OS Wars did to BSD. Meanwhile, SCO stock dropped about a third of its value.
- German Software Group Threatens to Sue SCO on Linux unless SCO produces evidence of infringement on the part of IBM by May 30. That’s tomorrow.
- And in further developments, Novell will challenge SCO over Unix ownership. This isn’t making the people at SCO look all that bright.
