Very True Things
“He talks to himself sometimes because he’s the only one who understands what he’s saying.”

Last night Frankenstein’s Fumblers lost an exhibition match against the lizardmen of the Turbo Freaks. That’s played three, lost three.

Oh well, those were the pre-season warm-ups and with the cup nearly over we have the league to look forward to.

Despite losing the Fumblers continued to provide entertainment and raked in a sizable purse, which along with it being a casualty free match means that we have the cash to spend on new team members.

Say hello to our new Flesh Golem, Bride of Frankie, (pictured on the right in characteristically stoic mood at a press conference to announce her signing) bringing that much needed feminine touch to the squad. Any notion that this is nepotism on the part of team captain, Big Frankie, is strongly denied.

From the BBC:

The US Department of Homeland security has issued a warning about a flaw found in Microsoft’s Windows.

Right, they can’t find Osama but they know where Bill lives. Picking on the easy targets.

Just started up Opera and look what popped up.

With a major version number jumping by that much I expect it to be able to do the laundry, record TV shows that haven’t been broadcast yet and connect to the Reticulan Internet over sub-ether carrier wave.

Meanwhile, Opera 9.01 change log.

[Update] - Tim Altman from Opera said this in a newsgroup post:

Yeah…. So, unfortunately, Opera’s version comparison algorithm thinks that .00 is greater than .01, so we had to trick Opera by changing the major version number, not just the minor version number. “90.1″ was the closest to “9.01″ and we’re not likely to see that version while we’re still using the current update system. We’ll most likely have to do the same thing for the entire 9.x series.

Huh?
