Firefox 1.0 is to be released tomorrow barring any unforseen difficulties. Go figure, since I just installed firefox on my work laptop.

Passion for one's work is also key. If not, Saks said, "you might as well forget programming and [become] a lumberjack or something. I'm not kidding. You must truly love what you do to be successful at making yourself indispensable."

Who the heck would hire this guy as a training consultant. From the quotes used, I don't think anyone could stand his training course. He seems to have the people skills of a lumberjack or something. I'm not kidding.
Note: I don't claim to be better and don't have to be. I'm not trying to teach anyone anything.

The same system will soon be used by other desktops such as KDE, so this will allow different desktops and applications to work together more smoothly.
woo, with this and Linux Standard Base 2.0 maybe Linux will be a serious desktop OS now. Like I always said until there is a unified API it's not going to take off. I am glade they are taking the right step.

Xandros Open Circulation edition. Free BitTorrent. Also based on Debian. Intriguing.
Xandros is KDE. UserLinux is GNOME. Take your pick.

To cope with difficulties of a client attaining professional services and act to overcome them, despite that client's blatant stupidity.
Ok, I admit it, I laughed.

The fuck? Didn't they realize the first one sucked ass? Yay, Jeremy Irons, a the Wayans brother, and of course the best character of all, Destro, Cobra Commander's right hand man and leader of the Iron Grenadiers!

A recent political test I took reported that I am dangerously close to being an anarchist. Clearly, it's because of the facial hair. Hell, I usually only shave at all once a week.
The preceding statement is exaggerated significantly.

How to fold a shirt (Japanese video w/ accompanying English thread). I was able to get this to work, but only after closely reading Cali's description. The video serves primarily to mystify.
