100 websites that will change the world
Some highlights:

• MoveOn.org “2 guys, $90, one web site, a simple viral mechanism, email. They created a ‘Flash Campaign’ to lobby congress to censure Clinton and move on.”
• porn sites “Sexual attitudes 20 years from now will likely be completely different because sexual exploration by children can no longer be repressed by adults.”
• cluetrain “If only companies (and countries) would stop acting like Marvel comic book villain-gods (Galacticus, anyone?), the whole WTO Seattle scene wouldn’t be necessary — everyone who actually *works* for the entities represented there would hear the complaints and be able to take action on them. Why aren’t they on the cluetrain?”
• The Birth of Grey Forest Walt “Wow. Beautiful.”

Sunday BrainDrain Quiz on LinuxNewbies, which is a great site to learn about the whole linux thing. I got a 9 out of 10, forgot to check the answer in one of the questions.

The Code Freeze for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has begun

“The code freeze for the next Debian release, code named “potato”, has begun”, says Richard Braakman, current Debian Release Manager. He expects the freeze process to take about two months.

Until the new version is released, there will be three distributions available on our servers: `stable’, `frozen’, and the new `unstable’.

“The new `unstable’ distribution, code named �woody� (Debian releases are code-named after characters from the movie Toy Story. Woody is the main character, the cowboy action figure.), was created today”, continues Richard. The `frozen’ and `unstable’ distributions start out with the same set of packages. While `unstable’ will be updated rapidly, `frozen’ will have only bugfixes applied in preparation for its release.

These are my results. The scary part is that this is actually pretty accurate. I hate when those damned things are accurate.

You are most like a ST. BERNARD. You are one loyal and good-hearted individual! You have a naturally protective personality that is reflected in the way that you treat people close to you. Your do-gooder approach to life earns you a great amount of respect and admiration. You aim to please, and your focused and determined demeanor enables you to accomplish this goal. You are a pleasure to be around, and people admire you because of your strong morals and ability to live by them. It’s a breed like yours that makes the world a better place!

What Breed of Dog Are You?
I took the test, like everyone else seems to be doing. Results:

You are most like a GOLDEN RETRIEVER. You are loved by all. Your extroverted and fun personality automatically makes you one of the coolest and most popular people around. In addition to being socially elite, you are also attractive both inside and out. You seem to have a magnetic personality that makes you the life of any party. You are probably pretty accomplished at anything you set your mind to, and have a very supportive and fun-loving social network. A Golden is a great dog to be!
