I picked the can up at one of the <a href="http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2005/">OSCON</a> conferences - from the &copy; on the can it must have been the 2000 one. They were produced as a fundraiser for the <a href="http://www.fsf.org/">FSF</a>, and I picked one up because it had some Perl on the can ;-) Mine is unopened, but as the expiration date on the bottom of the can is January 2002 I think it will probably remain unopened! I just checked out the website URL on the can (<a href="http://opencola.com">opencola.com</a>) which now appears to be a site flogging cheap bedding - either the FSF has branched out into a whole new area of endeavour or someone somewhere needs to do some DNS cleanup. </p> Tech http://bleaklow.com:80/2005/06/21/opencola_v1_0.html#comments http://bleaklow.com:80/2005/06/21/opencola_v1_0.html Tue, 21 Jun 2005 10:44:00 GMT http://bleaklow.com:80/2004/05/28/catshit_coffee.html <p> I'm not joking: see <a href="http://www.edible.com/shop/herbivore/">Edible Limited</a>, under 'herbivore'. </p> <p> Boggle. </p> http://bleaklow.com:80/2004/05/28/catshit_coffee.html#comments http://bleaklow.com:80/2004/05/28/catshit_coffee.html Fri, 28 May 2004 01:08:17 GMT
