In a cynical attack on a major Japanese cultural icon and delicacy, Pipka’s Chinese herbalist recommended that she avoid eating raw fish.

A bunch of snippets today: The horribly badly named SubEthaEdit is a collaborative text editing environment for OS X. I’ve been nominated for an AUUG Australian Open Source Award. Murray points out a very accurate software development life cycle, with obvious inspiration from the proprietary world. Telstra comes out of the closet regarding their desktop […]
