Linux + Esperanto = A Winning Combination!
2000-01-28 13:30:22
It's the latest thing! Kerjillions of madmen and freaks are combining the universal interlanguage ESPERANTO with the universal operating system LINUX! Insanity, by definition, must ensue!
Everybody knows that Esperanto is the official language of Bad People of the Future. And, of course, that Linux is the official operating system of Bad People of the Future! Putting them together is an EXPLOSIVE combination. Who knows what will happen?!
This Esperanto HOWTO (KIELFARI might be a better term) goes over all the steps you need to take to make your work-a-day Linux workstation into a POWERFUL BEACON of INTERLANGUAGE rays onto the global Worldwide Internet!
Wanna blow humongous clouds of Esperantism into the infosphere using the Web? This HOWTO will show you the way! Wanna send crazed Esperanto mail to thousands of loyal fans? It's in here! Wanna FURTHER confuse your .emacs-riddled brain with baffling Esperanto-ish MULE? Look no further. Wanna use Linux and Esperanto to command a race of blood-thirsty razor-bots and take over Planet Zarkon? Well, it's not in here yet, but this HOWTO would be where to find the answers. Once somebody figures them out.
I couldn't decide whether to classify this one under "Weird Linux" or under "Eat the Interlingvo." Using Linux for Esperanto is just WRONG, and speaking Esperanto to your Linux box is WRONG, too. There are some things humanity was not meant to know -- which is why this HOWTO is so fun. Beaujolais!

We here in SMRL's Beverage Research Lab realize that there is more to life than just drinking spocktails. It's important to have other activities. One such activity that we wholeheartedly support is dancing six or more hours to Trance music. So we have designed a drink to accommodate this. (More...)
Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
