Prague :)

Off to Prague today - Stag weekend 8-)
I'll try to take some non-blurred pictures and post a few when I get back.

Meanwhile .... Town sold (again)

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For Real... But Not On eBay Back in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville, the small (mostly deserted) California town was put up for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8 million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that the buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has been sold again - but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on eBay," contributing to the use of eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and sellers.

Has SCO gone mad ...?

I used to be a fan of SCO - heck I nearly worked there back in the late 80s.  BUT now they seem to have lost it.  http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/sco/subpoena.html

I just fail to see what this will do to help them in their case against IBM or long term financial benefit it will give them.  In fact I would have thought that trawling through all the information from FSF will be a painful expensive exercise for both SCO and FSF.   The only people who are going to make money out of this are the lawyers!  Enough already.  SCO go home!
