These guys at Google rock! They just launched another cool service, Google Maps. Currently it is restricted only to U.S. areas, but I'm sure they will add more parts of the world in the next few years.

Happy GNU Year!

I just finished reading Paul Graham's book "Hackers & Painters". It was a very interesting read, worth my time. I especially enjoyed chapters "The Other Road Ahead", "How to Make Wealth", "Beating the Averages", and "Revenge of the Nerds". The last two have increased my will to master more Lisp/Scheme. I highly recommend this book.

So, I have switched my home system to Fedora Core 3. The migration took about one week and partly still continues as there are so many things to configure. I like the combination of the Linux kernel 2.6, udev, HAL, D-BUS, and GNOME 2.8. Now, when I plug my camera into the USB port, the system just asks me if I want to import the photos. This is so obvious, but still very cool :).
