Well folks, its friday, and I'm ready for the weekend. And I'm gonna celebrate by cleaning out the submissions box. What follows is a fairly sizable list of quickies that have been built up over the last week or so. First off, Felix Finch sent us a link to IllusionWorks.com. It is exactly what you would expect. Kinda cool. Frank Berger sent us a link to a Chicken Conversion for Quake II. What a strange world we live. Oliver Fischer, the guy who was working on those Linux Keyboard Keys has updated his page with more information for anyone interested. Mike Roessing wrote a sort of zd parody. It's friday, you might enjoy reading such thing. Christopher Lee sent us a link to a NY Times Writeup on VA Research and Linux. Fict wrote in to tell us that the latest issue of Phrack is now online. Matthew Miller wrote in to say that Red Hat is selling, well, Red Hats like the one in their logo. Fict wrote in to send us a link to Denounce.com (uber cool fake news site) one MS buying Linux.

Kevin Ivory writes "A guy in Germany (Oliver Fischer plexus@snafu.de) is making a collective order of Linux keys as a replacement for the windows keys on W95 keyboards. The German reference is: link He will be ordering them at the well-known keyboard manufacturer Cherry link They won't be cheap, though. It looks like the price will be 5,-DM (~ US $ 3.00) per key with a minimum order of 6 keys per person. " Gotta dig it. I'd love to use the 'Penguin Key' to navigate virtual desk tops. Keep Ctrl/Meta/Shift free for important stuff, and navigate in style.
