My most favourite song was released years ago during my least favourite month.

I learned that William Jennings Bryan was responsible for the rise of Woodrow Wilson into the White House which later led to FDR and the New Deal and the Democrats being the party of the working class.

Some of how to play Warhammer 40k.

Charles Schulz was a big fan of famous composer Brahms, and considered giving the interest to his Peanuts character, Schroeder. But instead he chose Beethoven because he just thought it sounded funnier.

I've learned another way to load avatars. Copy the URL to a picture site that it's on and tamper with the measurements until it looks right.

Trivia is trivial and this morning I learned some trivia, probably well known to some but it wasn't to me.

Debian Linux
The name Debian is a portmanteau (fancy word, right?) of Ian (Murdock), the founder of the distribution, and his ex-wife Debra Lynn in the year 1993. It is the second oldest distribution of Linux, right behind Slackware.
