Cziltang wanders the trackless wastes in search of truth, beauty and personal enlightenment. He had tried to be self-sufficient, growing his own ideas, but they withered and died in the great intellectual drought that gripped the land in his youth. One day, as he gazed at the parched landscape around him, he realized that somewhere there must be ideas growing. Somewhere, rational discourse must still survive. Since that day, he has searched for a mythical land of fields and forests of living ideas. Now and again he finds a thought or two in the rubble of an occasional deserted outpost of civilization. Its a hard way to live and its not much of a life, but that's just how it is, out here in the Ratlands |

Linux Badger
link I've been working late for the last 2+ weeks training new staff. Aside from the time involved and the time of day, the process is pretty intense, so even when I've gotten home at a marginally decent hour I just haven't had the energy to write. Today, however, I found (via The Register) instructions for installing Linux on a Dead Badger by Lucy A Snyder on Strange Horizons: Let's face it: any script kiddie with a pair of pliers can put Red Hat on a Compaq, his mom's toaster, or even the family dog. But nothing earns you geek points like installing Linux on a dead badger. So if you really want to earn your wizard hat, just read the following instructions, and soon your friends will think you're slick as caffeinated soap. Read the whole thing. Then go check out the various sections of Strange Horizons (which bills itself as a weekly speculative fiction magazine, but also has artwork, various articles, and even some poetry). by CziltangPosted: Wednesday, April 06 2005 08:12:56 PM |
