Let him rest in peace.\n*   It’s hot like hell in Portugal, hotter than in the Summer, and it’s already 6th October\n*   Last night (during the Steve Jobs thing, perhaps) I got a bunch of twitter followers. Funnier: most of these users have their following and follower counts on the hundreds, but never posted a single tweet. One word: spam bots. _[**2026 editor's note:** your eyes and internet receiver are not malfunctioning, that's two words indeed.]_\n*   And some more things I can’t remember!
