Of all the news I caught up with this week the most bizarre and sinister news must be coming from the States. This week Obama’s healthcare bill was passed through congress. A major achievement on its own, considering the stiff opposition which it faced. After that, all hell broke lose.

Goodbye Starlet
In my fervour over Windows 7 on my Eee PC I’d almost completely forgot to mention that yesterday I sold my little Starlet. A car that has served me well for the last 5 years. A car I almost drove 130.000 km in.
Windows 7: the ideal Eee OS?
Quite a while back I received a Eee PC from my work from Asus. out of the box it came with a decent homegrown variety 0f Linux optimized for the Eee platform.
X-trail: the new car
Yes, I am now the proud owner of a Nissan X-trail. This morning I went to the post office to put the car in my name. The 3 minutes it took to sign over ownership does no justice to the immense elated feeling I am experiencing.
I am at work now, but I have some trouble staying focussed on my tasks. I can’t wait to drive it home again. 😉
Shockingly Big IE6 Warning: a Wake-up Call
Sometimes you come across something interesting on Twitter, like this “Shockingly Big IE6 Warning” plug-in. All it does is give you a warning when you are still using IE6. The plug-in features various display options and can actually make the IE6 browser crash. (Don’t be using that, boys ‘n’ girls; it’s unethical)
Anyway, since I had to rant on how IE6 should just die already, I thought I’d install it and put in my small effort to the cause. 😉
