This shouldn’t particularly surprise anyone and I should be more surprised that it’s taken me so long to ditch my old hotmail account. Embarassed even. It is my own fault to be sure that I’m using crappy lock-in focused webmail. The short version: Hotmail (now Live Mail) won’t allow users on Linux platforms to type [...]
I just voted. I’ll repeat what I said last night: You should too. If you’re eligible that is. Anyone interested in coming over to keep an eye on the prediction markets and the rolling numbers for the polls is welcome. I’m setting up a bit of a command center here in the basement with my [...]

Salad: Three handfuls [...]
