I was doing a little search engine research on the word "blogging", and I was pretty suprised to notice that according to Overture there were 120 searches for "fired for blogging" in April of 2005.

Once I thought about it a little I was amused. I am an independant contractor for a variety of reasons including my desire to be free from concerns like this.
Debian released Sarge as "stable" yesterday, June 6th. This is good news for fans of free Linux distributions, its been three years in the making and some of us have wandered off to other distros while we were waiting. I hope PSoft jumps on the bandwagon to support this distro. I like the idea that Trustix would have competition, and I would have a choice between a couple of distros I feel an affinity for. I don't count RedHat because of previous disappointments, this leaves out CentOS and [shudder] Fedora Core too.

In related news a whole bunch of "really smart people" have figured out that Windows actually costs less than Linux. I notice that the really smart people in this case all seem to be paid by Microsoft, and I wonder if it is a coincidence.
