I am currently listening to Coldplay - X&Y, amazing album with great lyrics and music.
I met the previous manager of Microsoft Canada last week. Interesting person.
CA is the acronym for Certification Authority. Microsoft CA was the main CA in the world before CRYPTOCard entered the market. Not surprisingly, CRYPTOCard is the previous manager's new business.
I co-authored a paper on building a Validation Authority for Apache solely based on Free Software (mod_ssl, and OpenSSL) available on IBM.
On Sunday I was accepted as a speaker at the UKUUG Linux 2005 conference in August.
Yesterday I went to the statistics class in the Electrical Engineering Department at Oslo University College. I got ideas for 3D optimizations using the Wronsky determinant. More on this later.
Today I went to the "Don't Panic" security conference at Grand Hotel, but I found it boring¸ so instead of eating lunch I ran off and captured some moving pictures (3GP video) of the Royal Family driving in a limousin(e) past the Abel statue in the Royal Garden in Oslo.
Later I met author Erlend Loe in a book shop and gave him my card to another, competing book shop on the University Street, my childhood TV programmer Eli Rygg, and the HR manager at Norwegian Computing Centre at Aaker Brygge.
At last I got a free Granny Smith apple in the Apple Store in Dronning Maud's Street and finished a blue print of a new floor in Aaker Brygge.
Sure, Apple iPhoto looks very nice, but F-Spot and GPhoto will win Mac fans over to Free Software - when we have released Triangle.
Triangle is going to replace isync.
There ought to be written a GarageBand replacement too.
