Yes, indeed. The new catalogue from ITAB is here, even if the website doesn’t reflect the fact. New items include a series of streamlined outdoor clothes, a little more versatile than before and a bit less conspicuous perhaps. Also, they have remodelled the balaclava and added a new line of synthetic wool undergarments. Among other […]
The World Intellectual Property Organization is at a crossroads. The assembly in Geneva, currently in progress has highlighted the continued dysfunction of the organization. WIPO Director General, Dr. Kamil Idris, basically informed developing countries to join them or die. Not in so many words but the effects of going against the WIPO could be […]
So. No EUCD for you! According to Swedish media who have been in contact with the Swedish “justice” department, the law (which is not ready yet and thus difficult to speculate about) will come into play July 1st 2005 (possibly) or January 1st 2006 (likely).
At any rate, who gives a rat’s ass? The public opposition […]

Under our current model, Canadians spend billions of dollars on university research through granting programs in the sciences, social sciences, and health fields. Those results […]
I’m feeling dizzy. Exhausted. Confused. Like I’m having a deja vu. Tense but comatose. Can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Maybe it is digital fatigue. Maybe it’s a seasonal depression. Maybe it’s reality catching up with me. Time itself seems to loop, entangling past, present and future. There is an awkward feeling […]
They are walking a very fine line here … and not just Google but the spirit of the net …
Google Inc.’s recently launched news service in China doesn’t display results from Web sites blocked by that country’s authorities, raising prickly questions for an online search engine that has famously promised to “do no evil.”
One can’t […]
Mambo 4.5.1 is ready for production use. Very exciting news. No more digging in the CVS vault for a while at least. Looking at the changelog you realize that the dev team has been moving with considerable speed these last couple of weeks.
All that remains now is to wait for 3rd party addons to be […]

Yes, finally got around to order a digital camera. More about that later. And don’t worry, it’s VERY well thought thru and analyzed from every possible angle by […]
The “Hair Glove” finally arrived. What a nice little thing indeed. As far as I have been able to test the glove, it does a pretty good job at holding the hair in place. I can say that it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
Positive Features:
It’s made of leather. Durable. Sturdy. And it smells […]
