Have you guys expereinced "The Great Blogger Relaunch"?! No, I have not been paid by them to advertise (although i'm sure I can do a good job if they did...bleh!!!)

But seriously, God bless Google! In their fine acquisition of blooger.com, look at what they have done?! Its like Martha Steward refurnished a whole bedroom (in her hey-days of course, now she's either 'refurnishing' court summons or the slammer dorms..hehe)

New interface page, new templates (my favourite change of course, don't need to struggle with blog-skins no more..no no...), additional add-ons like pictures and lots lots more! Feels like a field day in 'Toys-R-Us'!

And what's more, 'Dictionary.com' has added a word to web search, bringing research work onto a new level! Can you imagine the speed we college essay-writing-machines (which translates to 'Students' to the layman) can reach? I say, what a joy and a glass to the techno-age.

Yet say ye to the irony! The common thread of these sites are the boiler of it all! They all advocate 'Linux' and its 'Free source codes' movement, which Microsoft sets its hell-hounds to guard with lawsuits and fury! The smell of Revolution, the fight of independence, doesn't it feel like a French summer in 1789??? Bloodless, not byte-less.

With news of predicted Microsoft sales dropping due to its next operating system (OS) not coming out till 2006, it opens 'windows' (no pun intended...hehe yah right!) for Linux to concentrate on advancement and forget about catching up; an advantage I feel they greatly need.

Not saying that i'm not excited about the alleged 'LongHorn' OS from Microsoft come 2006, I am and would probably purchase it, but competition would benefit comsumers in an adverse way, in both software and hardware. Just look at it this way, while the cat(Windows) is away, we hope the mouse will grow and come out to play (Linux).

As for me, I'm just enjoying myself, using the techno-edge that I have to better serve the Kingdom of God and of course to entertain my fellow readers such as yourself. So watch out for more entries, columns and responses to the weird world we live in!

And remember...Your Attitude determines your Altitude!

Viva Revolution!
