Quickies Backwards R Us 23
Things have been a bit crazy: server troubles, spent some quality time in
the ER after the gf got in accident (she's fine),
and unusually stressful 'biz stuff (note:in utopia
everyone pays their bills ontime instead of leaving us with
a nearly empty checking account, a massive looming bandwidth bill, and
all these unpaid invoices? I seem to be balding at an
accelerated rate :) As for the images on port 81 of flotsam, I'm sorry
about that- those of you behind firewalls will be glad to know
that the new server will be in soon and hopefully the dust
can settle. Allright, some quickies already:
Toddius Maximus wrote in to tell us that Performance Computing has started a bi-monthly Linux Section
Anthony Fuentes sent us an Interview with John Carmack
webslacker sent us a nice little article on Pixar if you're curious what Steve Jobs' other company is up to.
Wouldn't be quickies without Star Wars:
James McP sent us linkage to a wired story about a Star Wars fan site featuring toy based mini movies,
webslacker noted the new 12" Star Wars figures,
and Dave Lowe sent us Star Wars Parody Music
More cool movie stuff:
patowic noted that Bruce Cambell (of Army of Darkness/Evil Dead fame) has his own web page, which features a sound bite archive
And some Slashdot media sightings:
Duke of URL noted that the recent Katz/Littleton stories got a mention on Suck.
RKemp noted that The Economist noticed too.
nene noted that an article about Slashdot appeared in Der Standard (although, with a name like that, its no surprise that it ain't English :)

I've never met you, but you've put up with myself and my ilk to quite a degree, especially in recent days. Whatever the details behind the accident may have been, I am very sorry for the pain you endured in the crash and the time you were forced to spend in the hospital. Your wounds will almost assuredly heal, and as for any damage to your vehicle, I'm sure all of us can agree that its far preferable to have two tons of armor take the hit instead of you!
Good luck over the next few days. Things *will* turn out OK.
Yours Truly,

The release of these tracks probably makes the RIAA very unhappy, but I'm not at all convinced of it. It certainly makes me want to go out and buy the soundtrack when it becomes available.

The threat was clear? Because they wore trenchcoats? Good grief, this author must be smoking crack.

I'll have to resubscribe again one of these days, although $110 a year is a bit much, even for a weekly
