The first Krispy Kreme opened up in Maple Grove earlier this week. My soon-to-be ex manager got up at 4:20 this morning to pick up 20 dozen doughnuts for most everybody in the company. I've never tried one of these vaunted things before. Turns out they're just okay. But the real problem with them is described in this article from the Pioneer Press. Brian Anderson missed the media hype Tuesday morning when Krispy Kreme Doughnuts opened a store in Maple Grove. He was in bed, sleeping, after being up all night doing what he has done for 24 years: making doughnuts for Rice Street. 3:20:16 PM

From Fladebo: Samba runs rings around Win2000. "Deja vu all over again" - the performance of "simple" network related stuff (among other things) along with free or cheap distributions of source code (that you would more often than not have to compile yourself or at least modify the installation of the binaries for) was kind of the start of what got proprietary VAX/VMS replaced in a lot of shops with some flavor of "less proprietary" UNIX... Amazing how history tends to repeat itself. 1:04:36 PM
