15. May, 2003 - almost a new season
- Spammers Fight Back in Court, suing Spamhaus and SPEWS. See, they say they’re being libelled, and they don’t really send unsolicited email, people really want it, and besides it wasn’t even them–they were never even near the place.
- So now SCO says customers bear Linux legal risks because Linux is infringing on SCO intellectual property, so any company using it could be liable for damages. That’ll win them a lot of friends, I’m sure.
- Metro Transit fare hikes, route cuts coming. Gonna have fewer routes, and they’ll cost more during a longer rush-hour (which probably reflects reality a little better). Well, hopefully none of the routes I ride will get axed. [strib]
- I know the series isn’t over yet, but the Wild sure looked done last night. It didn’t help that Giguere was incredible in goal for the Ducks, but it looked to me like the Wild got outskated after Gabby’s breakaway went for naught. In spite of the raw numbers on shots, Anaheim played more of their defence right in front of Roloson and Fernandez. Roloson wasn’t in hoover-mode, and combined with the aggressive forechecking of the Ducks suddenly Anaheim looked like an offensive power. Even when the Wild had a power play, it looked like even strength hockey. I guess it’s possible the Wild could come back, but I think the only real question remaining at this point is how long Giguere’s shutout streak is going to last.
- Hey, tomorrow is the first pre-season game for the Saint Paul Saints. Time to break in the new grill and start working out some new entrees for the new season. I bought a grill that I’m hoping will be trike-portable, so I can ride to the games and have the pleasant downhill-run home along the nearly-deserted transitway after games. I just need to find a cute single gal who wants to come to ballgames with me, and I’ll be set for the summer.
