		<description><![CDATA[Ok, since the latest scare regarding the iphone being hijacked by a series of invisible text messages, the update to version 3.0.1 was mandatory. Apparently, malicious code could be sent to the iphone via text messages, and all the rightful owner sees is a short message with a white square. More details in this detailed article. The bios update is a bulky 240 MB download and you download it via the usual itunes channel.  It will, as usual, back up the current contents of the iphone and then go through the loops of installing and resetting the iphone. It took less than 15-20 minutes including the download time for me, but it was time well worth it.  Highly recommended for all iphone 3G and iphone 3GS owners. Now, onto something lighter (after all, it&#8217;s august).  I have been playing a lot with these free apps for the iphone, and i like them very much. These are not the only free and fun apps residing in my iphone, but they are the ones that keep me busy all the time. Note that all links open in itunes app store: paper toss. What you get when you bring together a waste bucket, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As the year 2008 is about to depart (it has already departed in several parts of the globe), I leave you with a few free apps for the iphone, probably the coolest new gadget of the year. All of them are free apps and can be downloaded via itunes and the app store. 1. iSlots, for those who can&#8217;t live without their personal slot machine. 2. Black Jack. There is a paid and a free version, but the one we will choose is the free one. 3. Just to get away from the cards, the smoke and the casino atmosphere, FS5 Touch Hockey will help us do just that. One of my favorite apps for visual-motor co-ordination activities (i.e., killing time while pretending to work). Happy New Year 2009. I. Powered by ScribeFire.

		<description><![CDATA[Happy birthday to the daily blah blah. Four years ago today in the friendly pages of blogger.com, this blog saw the light (of the day? of the internet? is there light in the internet?) Later on, the blog moved to the even friendlier pages of wordpress.com. It started as a place for daily rants and raves (although the posts came not so regularly). Lately, it has started to deal with issues around open source and free software, the on-going struggle between docx, odf, ms office 2007 and openoffice, moleskine journals, fountain pens and other things that make you say &#8220;hmmm&#8230;&#8221; as the banner suggests. Well, hats off to the daily blah blah and watch out for more postings coming really soon! I. Related posts:is it or is it not?

		<description><![CDATA[One of the oldest (if not the oldest) flame wars in newsgroups back in the glory day of rn and command lines was: Emacs v. vi. Who was the best editor, what editor real programmers used and so on. Apparently, this war has been settled once and for all through the amazingly smart and funny and sarcastic webcomic of xkcd. Here it is in all its glory the definitive answer to the question of Emacs superiority &#8230; Of course, xkcd is absolutely right in praising the virtues of Emacs, the only programming environment you will ever need. Once you get hooked by its appeal, there&#8217;s no escape, no going back If you want to enjoy more xkcd webcomics, just click to the link above. Enjoy, I. Powered by ScribeFire.

		<description><![CDATA[You must read &#8220;When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth&#8221; (link to full story text), a fantastic, and scary, and grab-you-by-the-throat, and not-want-to-let-it-until-it&#8217;s-over story authored by Cory Doctorow.  As Cory writes in his site, he started writing the story just as London was being bombed by terrorists in July 2005.  The story chronicles a doomsday scenario of end-of-the-world apocalypse, with massive attacks and counterattacks (everyone against everyone else) and the attempt of Toronto based sysadmins to keep their servers up and running in the midst of the attack.  The rebuilding of the democratic process, the first cyber elections, the restoration of life are all blended together.  The story earned the 2007 Locus Award for best novelette. My favorite excerpt: &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a 486 downstairs with over five years of uptime. It&#8217;s going to break my heart to reboot it.&#8221; &#8220;What the everlasting shit do you use a 486 for?&#8221; &#8220;Nothing. But who shuts down a machine with five years uptime? That&#8217;s like euthanizing your grandmother.&#8221; Please visit and read the story. I. Powered by ScribeFire. Related posts:Fuddenheim Back to you from &#8230; planet earth

		<description><![CDATA[Or, since numbers are more elegant in detailing the unique points of our view(s), today&#8217;s date is 06/06/06. Tuesday, June 6th or the 6th of June or simply 06/06/06. Unlike, an earlier posting in this blog which could have been interpreted differently based on one&#8217;s location on the globe and one&#8217;s reading of the calendar, Tuesday&#8217;s date is unequivocal. In the sixth year of the new millenium, the sixth day of the sixth month, simply put 06/06/06. Of course, some might argue that another interesting date, 08/08/08 is just around the corner. For the uninitiated, while 666 is the number of the beast, as foretold in the Apocalypse, the number 888 is the number of the Lamb, or Jesus Christ. In the meantime, and while I am sure there will be many more postings on the matter, I hope you will sincerely enjoy this image I fished out of the net somewhere (source unknown)&#8230; Either someone somewhere has a weird sense of humor or something is curiously wrong. Your call, I.PS. Yet another happy posting with picasa.&#160; Related posts:Firefox 3 Download Day
