Loon fung loonacy…

DarkStar and I have just returned from an evening of madness in the renowned Loon Fung restaurant in CanonMills. There was just the two of us but we tried and failed to eat the following:

Gslacky upgrade

I was browsing some of the RSS feeds in Liferea and spotted that Gnome is now at version 2.24. As I use Slackware which does not officially ship with Gnome, I use Gslacky which is a wonderful, current and non-disruptive version for Slackware 12.1. It took 35 minutes to update to Gnome 2.24.

Mixed messages…

So on the day that the Taliban shot dead in Kabul, one of their fellow Abrahamic religionists for allegedly preaching Christianity, Sony withdrew a music track from a game because it contained two expressions from the Koran, for fear of offending Muslims.

I mean – Jesus Fucking Christ – or should I say – Holy [...]
