Back from Cebit

March 16th, 2006  |  Ramón Cahenzli  |  Technology  | 

I’m [back][3] from the [Cebit 2006][1] trade fair in Hannover. We saw nice, flat new [Shuttle mini-PCs][4], ridiculously overpowered graphics cards, RFID passports and entire boatfuls of Asian people. Also, we tried to talk to those responsible for putting browsers and mail clients on mobile phones at Samsung, Nokia etc., because it would be great if those phones had the [CAcert][2] root certificate built-in.

(And people dressed in long beige coats tried to sell us code. In any language! C, C+, JavaScript, C-, PHP, VB.net, C#, Forth, C$… Any language! Those wacky Indians. But we did take their pamphlets.)

Hope for a complete GIA mirror

March 10th, 2006  |  Ramón Cahenzli  |  Gaming  General  | 

I was contacted by someone who knows someone who has a complete copy of the GIA. On 13 CDs. He’s willing to go to all the trouble and burn them to snailmail-friendly DVDs. If everything works out, I might finally be able to complete the GIA mirror. Joy!
