“The GPL ensures that Free Software will never be extinct. Thank you, Mr. Stallman, for inventing it. For that alone, he will go down in history. Perlow will not. And Miguel will not. You and I will not. But Stallman will. Do you know why? Because with just his brain, he changed the world for the better. How many people can say that?”

now it’s official: p3k is a blog with high pr!

seems it was still too early upgrading to snow leopard even after the 10.6.1 update. the problems are not obvious but pretty annoying: like invisible characters in textmate*, the missing java 1.5 / 32bit jvm, disappearing icons in the dock etc.

next time i will resist even longer.

* which is due to duplicate fonts that even font book cannot resolve; had to manually remove andale mono et al. from my account’s fonts folder.

windows 7rc looks like microsoft is going for the linux boys, while current desktop linux distros at least make some efforts to look shiny and slick.

i have got strange feelings about this "ultimate"(!) version.

is it me or is google silly?

i know it happened and was discussed already long ago but now it looks like it is here to stay: google adds redirects to each search result link, like so:

instead of directly linking to e.g. blog.p3k.org the link goes to www.google.com and redirects from there to the target url.

thus, copying the link from the list of results is impossible – which is especially annoying when i try to copy a url of a pdf...

currently, i don’t have any idea how to change this. i already tried logging out and switching off web history, all to no avail.

the end of pi. (kind of.)
