The morning after

February 19, 2007 by muyiwa

Christmas in Binghamton may not have been white, but we sure more than made up for it on Val's day eve. Here's a shot of my street following the snow dump of Val's day eve.

I wonder where the parking meter wardens are — surely, they won't let all those cars park for free? Jokes aside though, I was quite impressed when I looked out of my window and saw that in spite of the heavy downfall, the buses were actually running! I'm certain that if we ever had this quantity of snow in New Zealand, the whole country would be shut down for days, if not weeks!

Here's a couple more pictures — these were taken at Binghamton University.

Hmm great snaps.. really love it..

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-cantered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway

— Mother Theresa

Reclaim your computer!

A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours. Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over.
— Andrew Moss, Microsoft's senior director of technical policy, 2005

The most serious impediment to a lasting archive is the evolution of media, platforms, formats, and the applications that create them. Unique, proprietary, and constantly evolving data formats such as Acrobat-4, MPEG-4, Oracle 8, Quicken 2001, Real G2, and Word 2000 suggest or even guarantee obsolescence.
