Monday, May 14th, 2007 by Administrator Barnhard Blog
This 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.

My name is on a software patent. It happened during my brief tenure at IBM. The patent is not yet issued (as I understand it, issuance may take years) and does not show up in USPTO or Google Patent Search. But it will, someday.

The UNIX-HATERS Handbook
Monday, May 28th, 2007 by Administrator Barnhard Blog
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.

Japanese Women Lower Standards
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 by Administrator Barnhard Blog
The trend of Japanese women’s prerequisites for a partner has changed from Sanko, which means three high levels (high income, high educational background, and high height) into Santei, which means three low levels (low posture, low risk and low dependency) according to Mari Kanazawa’s Watashi to Tokyo blog.
Ikemen means good-looking guy. She says the very popular girls fashion magazine ViVi recently conducted a questionnaire on “What type is your next boyfriend?” To Kanazawa’s surprise, over half of the answers were “I prefer B-otoko to Ikemen.” B-otoko means B class and also Busaiku otoko (ugly guy).
