Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
OK, so that’s a little dramatic, but still, my blog’s google placement for certain keywords has suffered sorely and it troubles me.

I don’t even remember how I ended up stumbling upon this, but I thought the spin was funny.
On August 20th, Microsoft announced the filing of legal actions against a Orem-area company for the alleged distribution of counterfeit software. Microsoft is taking this action to protect consumers and resellers from the negative impact of software piracy.

Only 3 days until I get to try SUSE Linux 10.1!
There is this new thing called “broadband” and together with this other new thing called “bittorrent” you never have to download things at <56k again!
I love 2006!
