Hardware can be really annoying. My workstation at work crashed last week, after 208 days of uptime, because the CPU fan died. I really hate it when things like this happen. In my experience, the things to fail first are power supply/CPU fan, followed by hard-disks. Basically anything mechanical will break first.

I 'discovered' the pronto e-mail client yesterday, and I'm sold. Finally I can throw out my Eudora and that silly excuse for an OS. Just a couple of things need to be improved on pronto, but I can do that myself as it is open source and written in Perl... Check it out at http://www.muhri.net/pronto/

So, tomorrow the big elections in the US. I really hope that we won't have another Republican president elected, because then peace and democracy in the whole world are going to suffer again. If you excuse me for such a blunt political statement. I'm not very fond of Al Gore either, but he's certainly the lesser evil of both. Can you imagine Reagan's Star Wars madness all over again in the 21st century?
