I can use Project Builder, Emacs or vi. I'll have my choice of MySQL or PostgreSQL to use as a back-end database. I'll use Apache as my web server. And it is all free! If I'm willing to spend a little cash, I can also run Word or Photoshop. I may even watch a DVD on the flight. " Aaron HillegassUnix under the Desktop article from Linux Journal.

It's true, OS X died 18 days ago when I accidentally unplugged it. What I really need is a counter to show how many times internet explorer has died during those 18 days. It doesn't matter, except as a minor annoyance, I just re-start it and keep on moving. On the other hand I've downloaded the latest Mozilla build for OSX and it looks pretty good.
The Astronomy Picture of the Day has an interesting view of our moon taken during the Clementine mission. More images and info on the mission is avialable here.
