New toy arrived today. The image to the right should give you a clue. So . . . yes, I've been running around, taking pictures with scant (?!) regard for composition, light levels and all the other things one usually has to thing about when using conventional film, as I guess most people do when they first obtain a digital camera.

The only other two vaguely decent pictures were this one and this.

Otherwise, done countless changes to the script building this web-site, but I've kind of lost track of what I've done . . . I think I made a link page, and then changed the forwarding script and then changed the statistics page slightly . . . but, er . . . no, nothing major. Next thing may be some graphs and maybe the web-cam, but trying to get Linux to recognise any kind of modern USB device is just a complete nightmare. And, of course, been following the whole SCO/IBM thing and the appearance of some kind of virus that is set to bombard www.sco.com with countless GET commands for the first week and a bit of February. Anyone no idea what I'm on about here . . . well, hard to say where to begin, really . . . I guess it all started when SCO thought it would be a good idea to demand money for licenses for all those businesses using, they claimed, copyrighted chunks on their code. Only, of course, the origin and licensing of the code in question has very little to do with SCO, but that's for you to read about, if you're bothered . . .

I love hearing about new virii. We have fairly robust virus guards at work and, well, I use Linux at home. Smug grin.
