Found two pretty neat sites.

Found two pretty neat sites. One is an open source perl blog called OpenJournal. Looks like it runs at any web hosting provider who supports perl cgi. Of more general geek interest, I stumbled across the NewScientist and their list of links to info about everything from ethics, computer history and how a cpu works.

oh my! Douglas Adams died

oh my! Douglas Adams
died suddenly Friday of a heart attack. He was the first author I met
in person. I can’t believe he died before the age of 50. If you have
never read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,
you really should. It was in the first handful of SF books I read as a
kid. It hard to imagine what my teenage life would have been without
the Dark Domain, the Austin “can I get ‘yall som’um to draaank?” NASFiC
with Fred and Bryan, and SF books like hhgg. You really want to
celebrate his life, in which he created so many great books, but it
sucks too much that he died.
