The created of the “Intel” jingle was one of the folks behind the lederhosen & rubber chickens novelty romp “Bring Me Edelweiss”!

Muine Music Player

Linux MP3 player which I’ve become increasingly fond-of. It’s beautifully simple, and Just Works.

“Every year, the people of Shrewsbury keep their leftover pies for the Pie Man who collects them all together & puts them in a giant Pie Shell. The Piemaster whisks up all the pies and once the pies have been cooked together, the giant Pie Pie is eaten the feast day of St. Ian, the patron saint of pies.”

PyPy

Python implemented in Python. Not to be confused with the “Pie Pie” from olde Lee & Herring shows.
