My vacations in Brazil were more or less like this.

I’ll post a more complete description once I finish this article (deadline is jan 17th)

Something I like about running mostly open source software is the sense of humor that comes when doing something mostly by yourself, mostly just for the sheer pleasure of programming. The most recent example was with GnuCash, an accounting program I have just downloaded.

So after skimming over the documentation, I start a new file, and thus comes the set-up wizard. Except it is not a wizard, but a druid:

This Druid will help you create a set of GnuCash accounts for your assets

Heh, brings a smile to my face every time.

Random anedocte about japanese culture:

To tonight I pack my things and prepare to go jogging. As I walk outside of the laboratory, I start whistling some music that was in my head, and head for the elevator. Midway, I remember that I had forgotten my entrance card, and head back to the laboratory, still whistling.

Y., in the lab, then informs me that I shouldn’t whistle at night: it seems that there is a japanese superstition where whistling at night brings out thieves!

Certainly an interesting new piece of information!

Wanna share any piece of interesting superstition you know?

Fainting Goats. Now this is cute.

Early in the morning, I have lots of things to post about, but not yet in the mood. So, two links:
