Gratitude
Via Blake Ross’, I read that we should thank Microsoft for its monopolistic behaviour. After all: …and for all those who lament the pre-inclusion of Internet Explorer, it’s worth noting that if IE WASN’T pre-installed, most people wouldn’t be able … Continue reading

Pirates!
For a couple of months, an ad for ‘Sid Meier’s Pirates!’ has been laying on my table. It’s actually the backcover of the manual for Civilization 4 (category), but nonetheless, an ad it is, showing a couple of screenshots with … Continue reading

Huh !!!
Yesterday’s logs revealed that the amount of MBs transferred topped the 160 MBs. That’s only for one day. Generally, this domain only pulls a boring 20 MB a day on average. Either someone was downloading images from my wife’s pages … Continue reading
