A rainy day

Today is a drizzly rainy day, which is nice because it means that the heat has finally broken, but also means that I have to subsist on a Nature Valley bar and a banana for lunch because I don't want to ride home in the rain. Nevertheless, I love rainy days. They remind me of being a little kid in Seattle. I especially like how concrete smells when it first starts to rain, and how the little birds come out and sing in a happy quiet way. The rain does have some downsides however. For instance, there are about 500 horses at the Caldwell fair grounds today, all wet, and a bit smelly because of it. Also my lawn will most certainly grow even faster (where is a huge truck full of gravel when I need one).
Today is also a good day because GROKLAW published a review of the motion IBM filed last week to dismiss SCO's contract claims. Basically SCO has been trying to make a quick buck off of the Linux community by claiming ownership of Linux source code, claiming that IBM gave Unix source code to the Linux people, and suing people to try and make them license their copy of Linux with SCO. All of it is total garbage of course, and as the details have been fleshed out, it is looking like SCO has been bluffing the whole time. This latest filing by IBM basically drops the axe on SCO's spindly neck. HOORAH! The GROKLAW site is overwhelmed with happy readers right now, but a synopsis of the IBM filing may be available there if you are patient. The Register also has an article about it.
