In this Free Software movement we have many mottos - One of which, describing what motivates us to work writing code, is scratch where it itches.
Of course, I could not keep it to myself - Almost a week ago, I took part of the World Naked Bike Ride. What I didn't tell you... Is that it became obvious I cannot reach most of by back - And it's because I'm mostly careless. When the WNBR started, it was still quite cloudy, even starting to rain... so I was mostly careless.

Every now and then, I want to understand a bit better English. Today, when Joeyh mentioned nettle soup, I had to ask Wikipedia what a nettle is. And Joey, no wonder it itches... It refers to around 45 species of genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae - In Spanish, of course, urtica is known as ortiga, or as blind person's herb, as even a blind person will quickly recognize it to touch - Touching it will cause the apt-named urticaria, which Joey seems to have discovered and learnt to fear.

I was watching 24 the other day and (without giving anything away)
Edgar Stiles had to "patch a system call" to save the world. After
chiding his assistant for giving him the wrong opcode for a "load A,
conditional" the following briefly appears on the screen.

What is it with the price of cables? Even leaving aside patently
absurd enhancements such as gold plated optical connectors, who is
buying all these ridiculously overpriced Monster cables?

Thus when purchasing a new cable today it was a pleasant surprise
to find a cable company who are happy to state their business model
prominently in their name: ConCord. The only thing that would have
made it better was if their tag line was "we're screwing you for this
cable, but at least we're telling you straight up".
