Michael Scherer posted to cooker@ a few days ago about putting PyBugz a devilishly cool python app for querying a bugzilla database into cooker. He also emailed me because a while ago I had tried the GUI Deskzilla product with the Mandriva bugzilla and it didn't work, so he mentioned …

This might sound a little harsh coming from a guy who's worked for a Linux company for over six years, but things never seem to get easier. Oh sure, the stuff that was hard to deal with last time is easier, but the new features and the stuff you want …

Well, it's been over a week since I got my wisdom teeth yanked (last Wed, the 13th). That was just about the most fun I've ever had. First off they put me completely out (and I've never been under anisthetic before) which was... wierd. I didn't have any real reaction …

I'm depressed. I used to look forward to playing with beta releases and new versions of distros. I've even been known to buy copies of distros just to check them out (well, I've bought SUSE and YellowDog and downloaded the rest... particularly because those ones were available locally).
