In the meantime, I’m catching up on my reading. I can now highly recommend a few titles:

• Constantine’s Sword by James Carroll. A really deep read about the Catholic Church’s historical prejudice and persecution of the Jews, and very insightful. It certainly turned me introspective.
• Psychohistorical Crisis by Donald Kingsbury. An extension of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, which takes a “what-if” outlook on the universe Asimov created. A great book if you liked the Asimov series.

Hmm. I think that’s all I have for now. Here’s a quick link you might find amusing in the meantime.

• NationStates - a socio-political simulator that allows you to run your own banana republic for fun and profit. Mostly fun. Here’s my country if you’re curious: The Sultanate of Assjackistan. An old-fashioned crazy-as-a-goat desert oasis.

And as promised in the title, here’s the latest screenshot from my Linux machine. Cheers!
