Iranian propaganda

What worries me most about the Iranian missile tests is the obvious propaganda:
Iran has tested what it says is the world's fastest underwater missile, designed to elude radar and destroy enemy submarines.
National TV programmes were interrupted to show footage of the missile being fired into the Gulf and destroying a derelict ship.
The test came two days after it tested a conventional missile capable of being equipped with multiple warheads.
I take the weaponry for granted. We all have some toys to play with. But national governments who consider those toys important enough to interrupt television, that's telling. And scary. I wonder how long it takes until Iran attemps to wipe Israel off the earth.
Back on the Internet

Taking a new job has one rather interesting consequence: no longer will I have Internet available across the street and therefore I have decided to get back on-line at home. I haven't had home access since December 2004, by free will I might add, and I can't say I have missed it much. Although I don't mind the ability to work on open source development again, I hope I won't substitute MSN for my social life.
