Over the past several days I've been suffering headaches, sleeping badly, eating poorly and have generally been struck by a malaise. Appropriately however and in part inspired by [livejournal.com profile] missmalice's list, [livejournal.com profile] trayce's and [livejournal.com profile] slowlight's postings (among others) and [livejournal.com profile] 1phish2phish's recent polls, I am attempting to compose my favourite LPs of contemporary music. True to form I am discovering that my preferences lie with the "critically acclaimed but rarely popular"; meaning complex psychoacoustics, existential lyric poetry and narrative consistency within the LP. With this line of thinking I might end up writing something for Music Theory, if they'll have me.

Microsoft, taking a hammering evidently on the server market and worried about the desktop market, have started a standard FUD campaign claiming Linux violates over 200 patents. Groklaw thought the matter was trivial enough to ignore. Ballmer appears to be getting the patent study completely wrong according to the author. Seems that they have ended up with a lot of egg on their face over this one. Appropriately, after several months of sporadic work (self-imposed), I'll be starting various Ubuntu/Debian sysadmin tasks as Internet Vision Technologies on Monday.

From [livejournal.com profile] mrteufel: In a blog backing Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas we have an advocate who claims that Heliocentrism is an atheist doctrine and a lie. Via [livejournal.com profile] cardinal_sodom Fawell supporters sought to bomb protestors at the evangelist's funeral. On [livejournal.com profile] convert_me, I take the opportunity to pull apart a Creationist site.
