Some interesting news from the web, to make this sad summer more pleasant:
Unix in your toaster!
One (well, me at least) used to say of something that it can make the toasts when it's a total gadget. Well, this joke is now a thing from the past since Technologic Systems has created a kitchen toaster with an embedded TS-7200 card operated by NetBSD. The thing can be crontroled via an USB keyboard, or even from ssh. Last but not least, Apache+PHP are also provided. Toasting can be controled by the famous BSD's sysctl. That rocks.
About webpages' sex
According to a brit university college's study (reported by branchez-vous! [fr] ), web visitors are more appealed to webpages designed by persons of their own sex. So if you're a person of a different sex of mine (that is, a girl), I invite you to create a CSS for this site, maybe it will attract female visitors. Thank you.
Deep throat
An hilarious story from Destination santé [fr] on the Goldenrod, wich is used to treat hemorrhoids and inflammation of the mouth and throat. Nothing funny then for you English-speaking people. But in French, this plant is called «verge d'or», litteraly...golden penis. And no, I don't have a perverted mind, it's only to attract more visitors with some horny keywords.
