I am going to a movie today, where someone had a ringtone made out of “Slayer – Bloodline“. The review is coming up later, in the mean time you can guess what’s the film title. And don’t cheat by looking at what is in the cinemas today.

Internet users in Cyprus
Blogoscoped reports that Google has expanded their Public Data Onebox functionality and now you can see the Internet penetration rate for population of any country. All you need to do is search for “internet users in cyprus” (or use your favourite country). Currently, it reports Cyprus having 38% of the population connected to the Internet. And that sounds just about right.
The country with the highest Internet penetration rate that I know of is Netherlands. Google reports it having 86.8% of population connected. Which also sounds just about right.
AIDS – killing humans and web applications
Yesterday, December 1st, was a World AIDS Day. A lot of sites on the web were trying to increase awareness about AIDS by switching to red-colored desings and such. One of the web sites apparently was Twitter. And guess what? Today morning Twitter is dead (again). Here is a screenshot of their red design from Google Cached version:
I guess AIDS is dangerous not only to humans, but to web applications as well.
One of the things to love about Red Hat
Karsten Wade shares five reasons for which he loves working at Red Hat. Not a reason on its own, but a part of one is this excellent quote:
At this company, the technical people have a serious influence on adjusting the mindset of the very smart people we bring in who haven’t yet fully absorbed the open source way.
Just brilliant!
Fedora 13 name suggestions
After a recent release of Fedora 12, the attention is starting to focus on Fedora 13. And, as it is usually, the work starts with the name. Here are the suggested and approved names for the next release of Fedora distribution:
- Botany
- Gloriana
- Goddard
- Langstrom
- Loana
- Manfredi
- Truro
The Fedora naming tradition says that the new name must be in some way related to the previous one. If you don’t know how any of these names are linked to “Constantine”, the name of the Fedora 12 release, here is a page with more information.
