Pin-men
It's still not too late to go out and see the Contemporary Japanese Art Exhibition in Ludwig. And if you're there, don't miss the Pin-men, it worth every second of the ~35 minutes movie.
'Cause we are Pin-men. You are. They are.

Windose source code
It's been a week or more, since the first official information poured out about win nt-2k source leak, and I'm still without it :( Unfortunately, here I can't use p2p, so my unique source is google and there's nothing. Or I'm such a jerk that I couldn't find the obvious, nor the obscure?
Anyway, if you know a good place, drop me a mail :)
The subject has been widely discussed in various forums and newsgroups, if you really have time and you're interested in it, follow this search, or check slashdot's forums.
Why I want to look at it? It's quite simple: I'm curious about how's the biggest sw company's engineers cast their code...
There are rumors that even the whole xp's source is wandering somewhere on the net, and there are users with own-built xp's, but I rather don't believe it... Yes, it would be nice to deep-customize my os, but neither I did it with Linux, where the source is bounded to the distrib, and I even recompiled it a few times. But that's was only to test my home-built desktop's stability, and I haven't take a look to the source, not to mention of hacking it... I'm lazy you would say, but I rather prefer to have a life instead of bugging inside the kernel source, whatever it's Linux or Windowse.

A book
For language-preserving purposes and self-entertainment, I use to read a couple of foreign-language books in every year. So I do it now, when I'm re-reading the one of my favorites, previously read in Hungarian, two years ago: the Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco. I have to say, it's not a lightweight book, at least not for me, but it's highly entertaining. The book it's about three guys, working in a publishing house, inventing a "Plan", based on manuscripts of their "diabolicals" (people who think that the Templars are still among us and they let their order be destroyed to be able to carry out something, which have been linked with everything starting from Templars itself through Rosecrucians, freemasons, baconians, Saint-Germain till our day's secret societies and "Masters of the World"), but invented by their own, altering non-fitting pieces, linking events and rewriting the background of the whole European history. At the very beginning, it's seems that it's fun, but as time passes, they are more and more involved in the game, even starting to believe that the Plan is true. The story is becoming serious when the diabolicals are finding out the Plan, and the events are going beyond them. And nobody believes that the Plan was invented by them, neither has nothing to do with reality...
