I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.
If you, somehow missed it, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 web browser has been released. Slashdot has an announcement too.

Congratulations and kudos to the developers and testing teams!
Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora Linux Core 3. As usual, all software packages has been updated with lots of bugfixes and new features. It should be faster, better, user friendlier, and blah blah blah…
I am downloading it currently using BitTorrent at excellent speeds of 500+ KBytes/s. I will upload it then to Thunderworx ftp server. If you are in Cyprus, you better wait until it will appear there, so you will be downloading it at faster speeds. If you are outside of Cyprus – I am sorry, FTP server is firewalled for you.
Update (9 Nov 2004 18:25): Ok, it is up at Thunderworx FTP server. Also, read the Release Notes.
ONLamp.com has an interesting article – “Which Open Source Wiki Works For You?“, which compares several Wiki engine implementations.
It is not trivial to switch from one Wiki implementation to the other, because this will usually require translating all of the pages from the old syntax to the new one. Thus, choosing a Wiki engine requires some care, taking possible future developments into account. This article will hopefully help you make that choice if the need arises.
If nothing else, at least report your problems and there is a good chance of them being fixed. Even if that takes a couple of years. :)
Proof: Red Hat Bugzilla #71497
There is a huge collection of crashes and stupid error messages from (mostly) Microsoft software at Microsoft Crash Gallery. As usual, some are scary, others are funny.
