Chas N’ Dave droppin’ the fatness:

In the mid 1970s Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock laid down the backing track on a tune called ‘I Got The…’ by black London poet/singer Labi Siffre. This tune was sampled by a certain Detroit rapper on his break-through single. You guessed it, ‘My Name Is’ by Eminem, that’s Chas n Dave you can hear.

Last Mambo in Paris? August 22, 2005

Filed under: Joomla! — chilsta @ 10:43 pm

Netshine recently reported on The Death of Mambo.

This is sad news. Why do people have to be so greedy?

Mambo was a great product that was built on using the principles of the Open Source community. Those principles have been forgotten by its original creator in a way that can only suggest that he has become the victim of greed. May the original fork or Mambo wither and die in a vacuum of corporate greed and selfishness, while the core programmers take their new product on to soaring heights.

(Looks like I’ll be changing the name of this section as soon as a new name has been settled on!)

Edit (24/10/05): Mambo now has a new name: Joomla, and so does this section of F-O-B!
