What Irish political party should you support? Mine came up as Fine Gael, Green Party and Labour. I voted Labour in the last election so go figure..

I share your feelings Jeremy, using the .htm extension instead of .html just feels all wrong to me. Silly maybe but perhaps it’s a common notion in the Unix community where filenames have been just a little bit more flexible than in the Windows world.

Slammer Attack Wanes But Debate Heats Up – Some Linux guy is spamming people telling them to move from Microsoft software to Linux. He links to the above article, and states, “Commercial software vendors should have delivered high quality software as they shipped the software (Especially the richest software company should have a better QA, but unfortunately not).“
