As an aside (which is what these unheadlined smaller comments and links are called), PhotoMatt’s asides have been added and are working!
Leonard Cohen turns 70 Tuesday and Guardian has a fun list.
A cryptic aside
While pondering how to try and take over the world last night, I ran across the need for a better understanding on MD5 hashes and digests. This site was particularly helpful. As the page explains, MD5 digests (among many other valuable uses) can be a used to show when a file has been changed, reliably.
Nosh for nerds
Michael Chu’s very well done (sorry) foodsite, Cooking For Engineers has many good ideas. Love the recipe format! (My science leaning is showing..). Also answers the freezer burn question. [ Via ]

Sunbird Calendar review
O’Reilly’s OSdir.com has a nice review of Mozilla’s latest stand-alone application, Sunbird. This is only a 0.2 version app, so it’s not integrated yet into Firefox or Thunderbird, but it does use webDAV to share calendars with others. It saves files to Apple’s open iCal standard. A promissing start. [get it at : The Sunbird Project].

SuSE 9.1 on a laptop from HP
H-P’s first Linux laptop a winner. MSNBC columnist Gary Krakow’s first impressions were positive and that’s good news. The nx5000 “works right out of the box”. The main complaint he had was that you still need to know a lot more about the inner workings of a computer to excel on a Linux machine.
Hewlett-Packard should be proud of their first Linux laptop; it’s quite an accomplishment. Street prices for the nx5000 will begin at $1,140.
