My birthday is November 1st, and it's always been fun to keep a track of famous events that happened on that day. This year I can add the end of the Microsoft Windows 3.11 to that list.
After 15 years you might have expected the first successful GUI for non Apple users to have quietly passed away some time ago.
And yet despite the end of Windows 95 many years ago, good old WfW found a marketplace in the embedded systems market, several airlines used it to power their in-flight entertainment systems.
To honour the end of 3.11 here is my favourite Blue Screen of Death.
As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.
Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.
But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
