And no, “beam me up, Scotty” was actually never said – shame on you CNN. Should have let a Trekkie write this.

Finally: a fatwa against terror
The British Muslim Forum has issued a fatwa condemning the suicide bombings.
“It states Islam condemns the use of violence and the destruction of innocent lives and says suicide bombings are “vehemently prohibited”.
The fatwa was issued by the British Muslim Forum (BMF) outside Parliament.
About time. Can you do that world-wide, please?

OpenBC
After a lot of experiments in different networking portals, OpenBC is the one I’m going to stick with. I found a huge number of former friends and colleagues, and the networking features are top notch.
Know me, or want an invitation? Go here: http://www.openbc.com/go/invite/360187.e5dfb6

Who you gonna call? OSSBusters!
Matthew receives enlightenment:
“Yesterday, while munching on a currywurst at the local Imbiss, I overheard a conversation between two builders that seemed strikingly familiar:
“I’m fed up with my customer Mr. Schmidt”
“Why?”
“He rang me yesterday and wanted me to immediately come over and help him”
“What was the problem?”
“He’d been to the local DIY store, bought all these bits and pieces for his roofing project and was now stuck because he couldn’t remember what the guy in the store had told him he needed to do. Isn’t that just typical. They go out and buy the stuff cheaply at some store, get little or no advice and when they’re stuck they call me and want me to help immediately.”“Aren’t you glad there are customers like that that then at least call you?”
Some days are real eye-openers.”
Wonderful. That’s definitely something for IT Garage. Doc, are you listening?
