Neal Stephenson
A great geeky article by Neal Stephenson entitled : โIn the Beginning was the Command Lineโ is a must read for the OS-opinionated among us. (And really, for anyone out thereโฆ it has a lot of really great ideas IMHOโฆA long read, but well worth it!) Iโll post some of my favourite quotes from it shortly. ๐
In other newsโฆ after being told writing for the weblogreview would be on a โsubmit or get a strike systemโ I decided to opt outโฆ Where is the fun in writing for free when it is forced. Gahโฆ ๐ Would it not be better to have a hundred happy writers contributing when they wanted to rather than having 10 writers pumping out stuff weekly? It is a voluntary choice to write. Oh well. It was fun until bureaucracy took the fun out of it. Hardly motivational. Regardlessโฆ it is a good idea and I hope the guy running the site accomplishes what he wants out of it.
Update: Command Line link dead. Not surprisingly weblogreview is dead. Links removed. It is here in 2024.
Oranges?
Started some cosmetic changes to unsung today (which will allow easier site wide changes in the futureโฆ.). The orange is for Halloween. WTF is with my MSN today?? On, off, on, off, on, offโฆ GAHH!!
