I finished downloading from the Web Site overnight – grabbing the entire content. I really did not expect to download as much as I did. When I woke up this morning I had downloaded something like 700 MBytes. I was expecting to get probably something like 50 MBytes. Thankfully I have a very good quota with Westnet, and even with all the other downloads I will make this month I doubt that I will go over my allocation.

I have been a users of Linux for more time than I would like to admit to. I think I have been using Linux since before day 1, since I was part of the Minix community when Linus was hacking Linux originally. I have been using windows about as long as that too… Which is why an article on Mad Penguin is so hilarious. Most people write articles on Linux for windows users. This one is on Windows for Linux users. Not all the events described happened at the same time, nor to the same computer, but they all happened…

The Register is reporting Something new under the sun, specifically in the way of a Lancaster plane for WWII flying over the UK in a Google Earth photo. I was expecting the plane to be much smaller given the height. After all, a 747 looks small when seen from the ground. And you can see a lot of area when looking at the ground from one. But logically, there is no reason for the plane to appear anything but the right side (or close to it) when photographed from the air.
