Usually random links to stuff I think is interesting, politically, culturally and morally. Sometimes I actually write some things, but not as often as I'd like.
OO.org is cool, but does have real problems converting .xls calculations and complex word documents .doc (mainly formatting).
It's a pretty cool suite of tools which I used for a while but was forced to switch back, b/c everyone else uses the real deal, and my documents wouldn't open and sometimes looked like crap when they did. Not good for the business. So it looks like Microsoft wins again, for now, but keep an eye on Google :)
Open Office.org is about to release version 2 of the office suit. It is much better at document conversions. I've been using the beta 2.0 for all my client communications and have yet to have an issue. It also looks far better then the old 1.x OO.org.
