Americans have not given up the habit of travelling to Europe. In fact, the number of people who go there are staggering. Try 13 million in 2006. Nearly 13 million Americans visited Europe in 2006, a 4 percent increase from the previous year, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Commerce Department’s Office of [...]

Once again, I was lucky enough to get to go to WrestleMania. It was a fun trip, but there were a few downers as well. I shall break it down for you. Good: The people from the publisher were excellent hosts. It was nice to hang out with them. Bad: Detroit is such a crap town. It [...]

Sometimes big ideas come in small packages. The new mini-hotels in Bangkok are one such example of something small that could catch on big.

Question... a friend has a couple of older regular desktop (tower) computers that he would like to give away to someone locally who then refurbs them and gets them to nonprofits or other orgs that need computers. However, before giving the computers away, he wants to completely wipe them so that there is no chance that any kind of information might be somehow recovered from the drives. Outside of physical destruction of the drives or exposing them to extremely large magnets, what techniques or software have people used to really wipe a disk? (Thanks in advance)

The red eye to Heathrow got a bit more bleary recently with the introduction of an even earlier flight out of St George’s Belfast City Airport.For waking dead there’s now a 06:30 BD79 flight which is scheduled to land at 07:40 … but this morning’s made it in at 08:15, the scheduled landing time of the old 06:50 flight that it replaced.So you get up earlier, have to make it through security earlier, only to sit on the plane for an age before taking off. When all the other flights during the day are listed as 1 hours 25 minutes, someone was a bit optimistic thinking the first one would get across in an hour and ten minutes, beating the early morning Atlantic rush around London’s airspace!The consolation is that an in-flight breakfast isn’t the sol[...]

In yesterday's Hartford Courant, labor activist Steve Thornton writes:It may be time to engage this small island nation, whose leader has already outlasted nine U.S. presidents. One way is to recognize what we have in common, both the good and the bad. In Connecticut, that means politics, commerce and baseball.He calls for ending U.S. attempts to isolate Cuba and reengaging the island country with trade, travel, and friendship.Read his entire piece here: http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/commentary/hc-commentarycastro0401.artapr01,0,1329401.story?coll=hc-headlines-commentary

Approved some more new Linux training centers that submitted entries to LinTraining. This batch of approvals were in:India (4 entries)Phillippines (3 entries)BelgiumUSABrazilPeruBoliviaSwedenNigeriaBosnia-HerzegovinaInteresting the number from Latin America and also India and the Phillippines. I have to wonder if there was some article written in the Phillippines or India that accounts for all of those coming in at the same time.

G'day all!You get a travelogue cos I have waaay too many pics to show you and not enough stuff to talk about here. Like do you need to know that I've spent half of today trying to work out which washed fleeces were stuffed into jiffy bags without labelling them? No, I thought not.As always, Nathan fell on his feet at LAX. He saw a lady admiring my finger knitting, so he invited her and then her husband to sit with us. We had a lovely chat - me with her, he with him, for almost a couple of hours. Having a Nathan around facilitates meeting people. He's just that sort of chap.The flight from LAX was interesting - the poor lady with the window seat had to put up with both of us trying to look out her window. She was a little embarrassed cos she could not [...]

In three weeks I will be heading off on a vacation to London, England. Just me and my oldest son. I have been reading quite extensively about the city. Lots of things to do in London. Part of the challenge will be pace. I think we could be on the go 24/7. And, leaning a bit [...]
