"NimbleX 2008 Beta has finally been released! After many months of using it, I finally decided is good enough to be released as a Beta version of NimbleX 2008. Several things still need to be polished but overall it's an important step towards what's going to be NimbleX 2008.

It’s an amazing thing to watch—at least, to a city slicker like me who doesn’t get to witness the miracle of birth every day.

I had a great job working for a great company, with great people, great pay and great benefits. The company won several awards for the best place to work for several years in a row. But I walked away from it.

Google is hinting at the possibility of an Australian version of the Summer of Code program. Quoting iTnews: "The global program had attracted students from 90 countries around the world, including Australia, said Hawthorn.

A long time ago in the ages of the Pentium 1s and 2s, the Deva and the Asura clans would fight their Counterstrike clan wars in order to decide the fate of the world. The Devas always had the upper hand, what with Indra and his speciality Vajrayudha-47 gun and Vishnu once in a while picking off headshots with his Sudarshana Scout Rifle. So things went fine for a while, and the gaming world was happy.

Recently Ubuntu/Canonical contacted me for the use of buntu in our domain name. I had emailed them long before any announcement of the site but with no reply until the site began to attract visitors/users.

I understand that Ubuntu/Canonical has a job to do when it comes to protecting their best interest. But Ourbuntu is doing nothing more than giving users the ability to setup a Ubuntu/Linux based system and sell it at no cost. Which helps promote the use of opensource software.
