Today is π day (2010.03.14) of course and this was also the birthday of Albert Einstein, 131 years ago. And, as if that was not enough reason to celebrate this day, sixteen years ago, this day marked the release of the Linux Kernel version 1.0.0.! Have a very happy pi-day everyone!
Oh, and remember; 3.14% of all sailors are pi-rates…

Last friday (January 20th), I visited CERN to evaluate their Document Management System for us by us. The meeting was definitely a success and I was very impressed by the work they had put into their EDMS-system, especially with regard to the ease of using it.
After lunch, I got the opportunity to walk around and snap some photos and just generally inhale the atmosphere of the place. I almost immediately stopped inhaling though (I needed to exhale) but when I entered their data-center a low whistle escaped my lips. There, in a glass cage, where a small, black NeXT-computer, utterly unremarkable except for the fact that this was the first web-server ever. This was the very computer that Tim Berners-Lee developed the http-protocol on.
