The most interesting stories this weekend:
1. The substitute teacher, the spyware and the jail term: A 40-year old teacher faces up to 40 years of prison after being convicted of exposing her class to pornography. As mentioned by ms. Jardin in that link:
wow, 40 years in jail for using a lame browser? Insane. That’s more time than some convicted murderers get.
2. A lot of talk about the iPhone: Announced earlier this week and the talk of the web. Yes, I mean, first Cisco. Then all those rumours about it running something else than MacOSX. Flash? Who knows. Lock-in then, maybe?
3. Sir, you’re no Napoleon: The governing French (right-leaning) UMP party has chosen its candidate for the upcoming French presidential elections. Even after reading this article at BBC’s, I’m not sure where that Napoleon part comes in.
4. The little mosque on the prairie, which happens to be a new Canadian sitcom (comedy) about a moslim community in a little prairie town in Canada.
Yeah, #1 is pretty scary.
Did you know Sarkozy is Hungarian? (I mean of Hungarian descent). They’re everywhere those Hungarians.
How is the weather over there. I hear there’s a hurricane?

[ed. Yes, I’m back in NS!]
I see good times are coming to Europe…
We had a lot of snow here in NS (more than I expected, actually). It is also cold: we had a couple of days of temperatures between -20 and -25C. Normal for here, yes, but kind of a radical change when temperatures were between the 0 and 5 degrees earlier this week…
They’re everywhere those Hungarians.
It’s a conspiracy, I’ll tell you…
Oh right. You’re back in Nova Scotia. There was a huge storm the hit the Netherlands yesterday.
