Summer of Code

I just received my congratulatory email from Google. It looks like I am set to get a lot done this summer. I will be working on Sci-Smalltalk, implementing mathematical software in Pharo.

I am very excited to move forward on this. I expect to have the best summer ever.

Ubuntu Tour

Alright, normally the Ubuntu folks have been aggravating more each release. especially when it comes to UI divergence and pesky 'features', like the removal of locatable scrollbars.

However, in fairness, I thought this was a rather clever test-drive page:

The most surprising thing (besides how attractive it looks), is that they just render off-site content in firefox if you use it. The back button doesn't work, but is this a free web page proxy?
