- Yippieh. Arriving in #frankfurt #
- Now let’s fill the #needbeer a bit. #
- Lonely in Frankfurt. Let me catch some sleep. #
- I think that if you say something, you should be accountable. If someone attacks me or Red Hat, I want to know who is talking to me. #
- Or in other words, if you hide I will not seek. Talk to the wall. I am not listening. #
- BTW – don’t get me wrong. Everybody should join #FFII. They are the good guys! #
- Please help! Which cool gadget to buy? Must have sth. to do with Linux. Thinking of netbook. S/o have better ideas? #
- @mcepl Will blog. But takes a few days. Need to think about it first. #
- @ruiseabra I will come back to FFII – but right now I cannot be member if FFII joins a campaign against Red Hat. Conflict of interests. #
- Finally fixed my #mythtv setup. I can watch movies again. #
- How #SUN fails at making money with #staroffice. Fix this please, someone from SUN. #

- Just noticed that my blackberry has switched to CEST automagically. Coolness. #
- After 5 years, it is time to leave #FFII now that they are involved in a campaign against #redhat. I cannot support their actions. #
- Going to buy whatever gadget to drown my frustration. Conrad electronic, here I come! #
- Now I am even more frustrated. couldn’t find any cool gadget. Aaargh! #
- Interesting. German university is working on distributed P2P social networks. Serverfree facebook so to say. #
- My blog is back. http://jan.wildeboer.net #
- @ruiseabra I could have done even more but if these people refuse to talk to me directly … #

- Conficker and 1st of April. Dear journalists, would you mind stating that this will only affect Windows machines? #
- New stupid #Buzzword: DLP(Data Loss Prevention) – or can I simply say backup? Geez. #
- Still trying to find out why someone would attack Red Hat on our patent promise. Talk to us. Don’t bash around! #
- I can only hope that Conficker will install Linux on all infected windows machines at the 1st of april #
Every friday I will try to post a rant on a specific topic. Today I’m venting on journalism on the Failboat.
Dear journalists.
Let’s take the current Conficker Mania. Now I know that Microsoft Windows has a huge marketshare on desktops. However – not everyone is using Windows. Still, you journalists ignore this fact over and over again.
Dear journalist, could you start warning the *right* people by adding “Windows-PCs” to your articles? All of these viruses, malware, trojans are aiming at Windows machines. People using Linux are usually safe.
Same goes for all these “warnings” on keyloggers etc. I am NOT saying that Linux is secure, I am NOT saying that Microsoft is bad (although I have a personal opinion on that) – I am ONLY asking to state the correct facts. And the fact is that 99% of your warnings and horror stories affect Windows-PCs ONLY.
I know the world has accepted the fact that Windows can only be used with virus scanners etc that eat up your CPU ressources, slow down your browsing and file opening.
But PLEASE stop shouting that everyone is at risk when in fact it is a Windows only thing. I don’t ask you to start bashing on Microsoft. I only ask you to write your articles in a way that make them factually correct.
Hrmpf.
