T'was the night before..: Well theoretically the book hits the New Riders warehouse tomorrow and from there it gets distributed out...so time to start watching out for it.

German politics: A lot going on at the moment (I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that there is an election on September..no..of course not. Ok - a quick recap of the story so far: Government gets involved with the Telekom. Telekom CEO steps down before being thrown out. German defense minister goes on a spending spree with money he should not have (or should he). Defense minister is thrown out - before he can step down (not that he wanted to). And it's only Thursday.

Others (Aaron Swartz: The Weblog): "BTW, did you know that recipies have no copyright protection?". Actually recipes were the first "open source" in the sense that they are passed around and improved if anyone finds a bug. What you put 2 tsps in there? I think it tastes better with 3! My mum is great at that! Also it is really easy to write a new cookery book - just copy recipes from other books and no-one can stop you. What is there to learn from that...?
