[259] Of Malaysia, the center of software piracy

Malaysia, the center of the world software piracy. Proof – MS Longhorn has been released in the street of Johore Bahru. Of course, the OS is still under the alpha version, yet to be completed.

The only answer to piracy is Linux – the open source OS.

p/s – Russia has finally, unofficially refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. It’s disappointing but not surprising. However, it’s not a formal no yet. So things might be brighter than it seems to be. But then sadly, as the author of EnviroSpin Watch has put it, “The politics are even more complex than the science!”

pp/s – My sister has received admittance into the University of Adelaide, Australia. Yea! If I’m going to the World Solar Challenge in 2005, I have a place to stay!

[257] Of the Yosemite Exhibition

The Gallery is hosting the Yosemite Exhibition. More to come later after the exams are done for good.

Concerning my recent trip, St. Louis was colder than Ann Arbor but damn, St. Louis was way cooler than Ann Arbor. Plus, I’ve kicked the Arch and I’ve seen the Mark Twain’s Mississippi. All I have to do now in order to complete the Tour of Great Rivers is to visit the Nile, the Amazon and the Yangtze River. Oh well.

The St. Louis Exhibition is scheduled after the current exhibition but in the meantime, enjoy the gallery.

p/s – Final score, Ajax 2 – 0 Feyenoord. And one bad news, the Netherlands is stucked with Germany and the Czech Republic in Group D for Euro 2004.

[225] Of going to St. Louis, Missouri

I really have to stop planning my vacation on the spot. For the upcoming thanksgiving, I’ll be in St. Louis, Missouri.

The last time I did an impromptu decision, I found myself in the Sierra Nevada, stuck without food and electricity.

p/s – currently planning to pay Pasadena a visit. OHIO STILL SUCKS! LOL!!!
