[Link][Icon]Yawn

I'm remembering very clearly now why it was I gave up jogging in the afternoons & switched instead to mornings. It means I don't spend the evenings so damn tired.

As I'm faced with early starts all this week, tho, it's afternoon or nothing, and there's only one thing worse than jogging too late - not jogging at all. I drive myself nuts if I don't exercise enough.

Ah well. I see on /. that Linus is still a bit cynical about Sun and their commitment to FOSS. Nothing new there, but it's interesting to see that one of the first people who disputes the Sun rebuttal is Theo de Raadt - the bloke behind OpenBSD and OpenSSH, who is by no means a Linux cheerleader.

Ah well. A healthy level of skepticism is.. well, healthy! :o) And Sun's not got a spotless record when it comes to FOSS - Microsoft wasn't the only one to fund SCO's attack by buying their licenses. But I think we're all hoping that they prove the cynics wrong - if nothing else, it'd be really good to see things like Java fully open at last. And as Linus points out, despite what MS would have you believe about OSes, Competition is good.

That Theo de Whatever guy is just so blah.

Also noticed the infrequency of your recent posts. Summer blues, eh? ;-)

Not exactly - it's more that there's a direct relationship between the amount of time I spend online and the number of posts I make... and this is one hell of a busy week!

This reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite politicians and my preferred choice in the 2008 US Presidency election - Mike Huckabee - who simply said "Competition breeds excellence". (He was referring to the importance of having a choice in health care, and how this concept doesn't ride well with the Democrats).
