FSFE and Samba dent Microsoft shares, says Bloomberg

We just heard the news from Bloomberg, a major New York-based stockmarket information group: They inform of a 0.2% drop in Microsoft shares, related to the demands made by the Samba Team and FSFE for Microsoft's compliance with the orders of the European Commission, which demands that Microsoft take steps to re-allow competition in the European software market. It's not that I'm anti-Microsoft, just pro-Free Software. However, I can't help but smile at the fact that we, as an organisation with a minimal budget, have managed to have an at least noticeable effect on the share price of such a corporate behemoth. here's the article: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000103&sid=a7ix7ly96e3E&refer=us

Goodbye to the sofa

The geographical focus of my work has so far been the sofa in Georg's living room. It's made of leather, brown, and somehow vintage. Maybe vintage 80s. As a workplace, it's certainly not ergonomical. The same goes for the living room table in front of me. With my lower back hurting, I'm less than sad that tomorrow we will move into our new office in Hamburg. It'll be interesting to set up the place. As mentioned on tuesday, my first job will be printing and mailing the Cryptocards. I always appreciate intellectual challenges... and a good office chair. I'm not sure what I'll find there, but it certainly is going to be more comfortable than permanent sofa arrest. @Georg: Really, your sofa's fine. It's just not ergonomy's silver bullet :-)
