One of the things that I like about blogging is an endless possibilitiy of crosslinking. I was browsing through Kevin Fox’s blog and found his link to The Ferret’s blog, particularly to this post, where The Ferret writes about his rules of sex, which he thought about after watching this “The 10 Commandments of Simon” cartoon.
Both the post and the comments are an interesting read…
This picture is shamelessly stolen from this post in the Kevin Fox’s blog.
It’s just so cool that I had to have it. :)

The time machine of my blog has already travelled back to enjoy old calculators and computers. This time it goes back to gain some knowledge of the Third Best Thing™ invented in the 20th centure – television.
TvHistory.tv has all you ever wanted to know about television sets. The site is conveniently broken into few eras of development and staffed with a bunch of pictures, technical data and timelines.

ESA news have an interesting article about discoveries from a recent wave studies. Gigantic waves have been a primary reason for sunk ships for some time now. This time these waves have been studied with the help of satellite technologies. There are also few pictures to see like the ones attached to this post.
Update (August 2, 2004 2:55am): Slashdot coverage is here.
I came up (I haven’t heard it before) with an easy way of destinguishing between a system administrator and a network administrator. All you have to do to find out if a person is a netadmin or a sysadmin is ask him/her to connect via secure shell to any host of his choice. If a hostname is used, then it is a sysadmin in front of you. If an IP address – it’s a netadmin.
# System administrator ssh [email protected] # Network administrator ssh [email protected]
