Bombing of Rotterdam

Monday, May 14th, 2007 by Administrator Barnhard Blog

rotterdamThis year Rotterdam celebrates The year of Architecture. While the city has a rich history, you will find few historic buildings in the city centre. These were bombed away by the germans and especially the fires that followed.

 
Today the city will highlight the burned area with a light show. For those interested I recommend this video documentary about the fires.

The UNIX-HATERS Handbook

Like many long existing operating systems , the UNIX-HATERS Handbook gives a funny flashback to what can stir a large group of users and developers. While being over the top, it even doesn’t highlight apparently the most funny bit, its anti-forword.
