I’d really like to write a piece on the different cultures that surround various products and technologies, but as we have just started our beta phase at phuser.com I really have to get back to enticing new users to join up. So until then, this:
I can’t quite remember the fateful course of events, but yesterday I found myself checking out the lyric page for the OpenBSD release theme songs. In a wreckless moment I found myself downloading the OGG for the v4.0 release – ‘Humppa Negala‘ – [Ogg] [MP3] . Now I am no authority on Humppa, but this is surely the most fiendish song I’ve heard in a long time. The worst thing is that I kinda like it. Imagine my alarm when I woke up this morning and the bathroom was resounding to the daemonic tones of this latest release from the OpenBSD studios, courtesy of my own vocal chords. Try as I might to fight it, it has lodged itself in my brain-stem and it won’t let go. If relief does not come soon I may have to resort to intensive therapy by means of ‘Tie me kangaroo down, sport‘.
