   5 <p>Many years ago, while studying Computer Science at the
   6 <a href="http://www.uit.no/">University of Tromsø</a>, I started
   7 collecting computer related songs for use at parties.  The original
   8 version was written in LaTeX, but a few years ago I got help from
   9 Håkon W. Lie, one of the inventors of W3C CSS, to convert it to HTML
  10 while keeping the ability to create a nice book in PDF format.  I have
  11 not had time to maintain the book for a while now, and guess I should
  12 put it up on some public version control repository where others can
  13 help me extend and update the book.  If anyone is volunteering to help
  14 me with this, send me an email.  Also let me know if there are songs
  15 missing in my book.</p>

  17 <p>I have not mentioned the book on my blog so far, and it occured to
  18 me today that I really should let all my readers share the joys of
  19 singing out load about programming, computers and computer networks.
  20 Especially now that <a href="http://debconf12.debconf.org/">Debconf
  21 12</a> is about to start (and I am not going).  Want to sing?  Check
