around in a pair of colorful tights fighting criminals. During the day... well,
|

he just runs around. He eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's sleepy.

he can start one? How much work could that be?)

|
|
Alex is a Lead Software Engineer at Motorola. He is always taking some sort of

|
class. He just finished the class work toward a Ph.D. in computer science,

but only time will tell if it goes any further. His wife, Diane, is certainly
|
|
his best friend and biggest fan. He enjoys his two Schnauzers, Brutus and Cleo,
|
|
and his dozens of African Ciclids, too. He is a licensed amateur radio
|
|
operator, as is Diane, and they spend more than a few nights together observing
|
|
the skies through their 5-inch telescope. They like to get out and stay
|
|
active, to enjoy life together.

<P> The post-WTO protest to shut down Microsoft (or at least annoy them) took
|
|
place as scheduled, but your editor had a doctor's appointment and couldn't
|
|
attend. News coverage was scanty except for this
|
|
<A HREF="http://archives.seattletimes.com/cgi-bin/texis/web/vortex/display?storyID=38a091f3a4&query=microsoft+protest+dan"><I>Seattle Times</I> article</A>.
|
|
The <I>Seattle Weekly</I> later did an
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0008/features-howland.shtml">
|
|
analysis</A> of the event, although only the first part of the article is
|
|
direcly about Microsoft.
|
|
|
|
<P> Ironically, Microsoft Singapore sent the <I>Gazette</I> a nice piece of
|
|
spam about a "Windows 2000 Professional Sales Training"
|
|
seminar. "Come and learn all about Windows 2000 Professional, then take the
|
|
online test. Microsoft will award all who pass with a certificate you can
|
|
frame and show others your achievement." I can't wait. Not.
|
|
|
|
<P> Thanks for sending in your articles and 2-cent tips.

Remember to have fun with Linux this month!
